First Safari, Saw It All
Seasoned traveler, only my second tour, and first safari. I chose Good One Tours through safaribookings.com because at the time, they were the only ones offering anything longer than 6 days. I selected their posted 8-Day safari, was able to swap out the cultural village tour day for a walking safari in Arusha National Park, and was pleased with the discounted quote - which I paid in advance in two installments using their secure Pesapal online payment system. In trying to prepare the best I could, Gadiel was always quick to answer questions saying everything was provided - which was not always the case. On arrival, my hotel had changed...as the provided itinerary states is a possibility, and Gadiel came to the hotel to explain my itinerary had also changed - based on grouping me with another tour company that was leaving the following day with room for a solo traveler visiting Tarangire, 3-days in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater (which were the safari highlights and would have been sufficient), and Lake Manyara National Park - which I currently do not recommend due to climate change rising waters of the lake, loss of grasslands, and slash and burns happening all over the park to recreate habitat for the minimal animals seen. Otherwise, I spent only two days with Good One Tours and Martin was definitely the highlight as my guide and driver for Arusha National Park, Napuru Waterfalls, and return to JRO airport. He was prompt, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely interested in connecting and sharing with me on numerous levels beyond my just being another customer. He was not constantly on his phone, trying to pass me off to strangers, attempting to 'witness' debate me about Christianity and religion, and I never would have made it to/from Napuru Falls without his help navigating the said "30-minute walk" with undisclosed steep trail, slippery rocks, and crossing a rushing stream at least 7 times. He has a resilient passion for people and being the best guide and host possible. For the payment system and Martin, I can recommend Good One Tours but be prepared for 'luck of the draw' to what you finally get once there. Even with the worst of inconveniences, it's still a 5-star experience and just another part of the adventure.

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari in Serengeti & Ngorongoro!
We ( couple) recently went on a 3-day safari from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, smooth, and exceeded our expectations.
Right from the beginning, the communication and planning with Gadiel were excellent. This was the reason why I choose GoodOne. Our adventure begun from the Kilimanjaro airport, cool man Justin met us just in front of airport. Our plans had changed few times from original itinerary by our request - all of our request accepted by Gadiel. Many thanks for that. In our last day, I had a health problem- I really needed a medical emergency help- all the time Gadiel was with me and did everything from his side to feel us like at home. Thanks again.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend this tour. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we can’t wait to return!
Thank you to the amazing team for making this trip so special!

Professional
Great experience with good one tours, they arranged everything and took care of everything.
Reliable and up to our expectations
We did a 5 day Safari (group of 6) through Tarangire, The Serengeti and Ngorongoro and were delighted with the service; great food, great insights from our guide Solomon, and very efficient and rapid communication with Gadiel to organize everything through WhatsApp. He even helped us arrange our onward travel to Nairobi. Would warmly recommend Good One Tours for your time in Tanzania's national parks!

Good honest operator with good communication.
Contacted a number of operators for a quote last minute. Gadiel responded quickly and provided the best price and communication. He was even able to arrange an upgrade and later transportation. I was a bit hesitant paying so much upfront without meeting anyone but the driver picked me up as arranged in the Mor ING and had a great experience!

Great value and quality
We took a 4 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The guide, Solomon, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job, and made sure we not only saw as many animals as possible, but also thaught us all there is to know about them. One can see he really loves his job. We also had a cook, Khalid, traveling with us all the way and preparing fresh breakfast, lunch and dinner for us every day. Food was delicious and he took into account all our dietary restrictions. While there were some problems with communication while arranging accomodations during the safari, Gadiel acknowledged the shortcomings and offered solutions, which we appreciated. He also helped us arrange a shuttle from Namanga border and gave us a free transfer to Arusha airport after the safari.
Many thanks to the whole team for wonderful experience! It was a good value for the money.
