Amazing experience
The safari was great. We wrote many mails with lots of questions and they always answered very Quickly. The day we arrived ro Arusha, Godson came to the hotel to explain everything.
The drivers and the cars were perfect.
If I come back Again to Tanzania I will repeat with them.
Thanks for all.

Great experience!!
We were on a 4 day safari and enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide was super engaged and enthusiastic. He was very interested in what we wanted to get out of it and had so much knowledge about the different animals. Godson was professional from our first contact with him, they picked us up when we arrived and drove us to the airport at the end of the safari. I would recommend Godson to anyone who’s interested in an amazing safari!!

Amazing experience of climbing Mount Meru!
We had the best experience of climbing to Mount Meru arranged by Godson and his team! We have originally booked the climb with another provider but due some issues with that company we had to change the provider at the last minute. We called to Godson on January 1st (what was public holiday) and he responded immediately, ready to take us up on January 2nd to fit into our schedule. We were very happy with provided services, friendly and helpful staff, in particular our guide Alex, who made everything to make our stay enjoyable (even that super-challenging climb to the summit)! Thank you for this unique experience! :)

Magnificent Tanzania - excellent guide!
First I want to say something that is mentioned here in every review - safari is truly amazing experience and can definitely be one of the greatest trips of a lifetime - so before taking the trip I spent many hours looking for a tour company and was in touch with many tour operators to make sure that everything would go well.
Now back to Godson Adventures. Godson is the owner of the company and he is also the guide. When I started talking to Godson he was available almost 24/7 and answered all my questions almost immediately so the communication and planning was very smooth.
All other companies were offering pretty much the same set of lodging options for my budget so whenever I reached to a new company they were offering properties that I already was aware of. I made a short list of properties and chose the best for every location so when I approached Godson I asked him to pick those properties. Godson told that he could do it but then he also suggested few options, which I was not aware of. One of them, near Serengeti entrance, was brand new so looks like others did not know about it at all so we ended up in a resort style hotel with a nice pool vs B&B that was offered by others and the one I picked initially . Another property - Serengeti camp - also looked better than those offered by other companies, in fact it was also in other category i.e. more expensive.
Godson knows the parks very well and we saw many animals including the big five. He also has his own secret places so few times we were watching animals very close to us and there was no one else around. He also knew when we needed to be patient so on few occasions we saw some unique things like a lioness and several cubs crossed the road right in front of us. All other cars were gone by then but Godson suggested that we should stay as lioness was acting weird and he though she was looking for a cub (and he was right!).
Godson was telling some interesting and fun facts about animals and nature all the time but he was not talking non-stop. He was also happy to participate in every conversion we started so it was very friendly atmosphere during the whole trip.
Thanks again Godson for the truly amazing trip!

Glad we chose them!
Our safari booking was a little last minute. We still got the best price and had an amazing time on the safari. The tukaone lodges we were set up in were nice, clean, safe and super pretty. The food amazing. Our safari guide Ashley did a tremendous job explaining, teaching and showing us the culture the animals and the park. We were never rushed. We got to see all the big 5 thanks to him. The only thing i would say needs a little work are the packed lunch boxes. The food seemed stale. other than that I don't have any complains or regrets. The car provided was neat and clean. Godson was always there if we needed anything making sure everything was fine, always in contact and only a message away on whatsapp or call. The safari still remains our best experience in Tanzania. Thank you for the amazing experiences Godson Adventures.

Meru-adventure
After making the decision to climb Mount Meru, we were searching for a reliable tour company and we came across Godson Adventures as they offered the best price. It was a fantastic choice!
From the owner Godson we got extraordinary service; he met us 1 day prior departure to brief us and drove us to the start point the next day.
Our local guide Alex Lucas was just excellent: knowledgeable, friendly and easy getting along. His focus on health and taking our time really made us feel safe during the climb. I had trouble with altitude symptoms, but our guide was very patient. My boyfriend with Alex made it to the top, but I struggled, so I had to turn back and it was a smart Alex' decision to take an extra guide (assistant) before leaving the hut so that he could keep me safe back down from the mountain in case I need.
Our private 3 days Mount Meru climb was outstanding and very positive. A really memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Great Adventure
Great communication and service from the very beginning. We were on a four days safari with our guide Faradi. He took us through this amazing journey with a lot of knowledge about all the animals and we saw the Big Five! The overnight stays was perfect for us.
We highly recommend Godson Adventures!
Thank you for the best safari adventures!

Incredible Kilimanjaro Trek
Godson Review
Traveling from the United States to Tanzania by myself as a 20-year-old to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, I was so happy that I could count on Godson to make this experience safe and extremely memorable.
He picked me up at the airport when my flight arrived after midnight and drove me to the beautiful Tulia Hotel where I stayed before beginning the trek. The next day, I was introduced to my mountain guide and cook for the next eight days on the Lemosho route and escorted around Arusha as well as briefed for the week to come. My guide helped me go through all my gear and confirm that I was indeed prepared for the journey ahead. As for the few things that I was missing, Godson kindly let me borrow them while on the mountain.
The trek itself was unbelievable and unforgettable. My guide gave updates to Godson every day, and he then let my family know how I was doing. With help of my very knowledgeable and compassionate guide, the talented cook who prepared more food than I could eat every day (and I’m a heavy eater!), and the supportive porters, Godson Adventures helped me achieve my dream of reaching Uhuru Peak.
Godson is such a kind man and so humble as well. His prices are fair and typically less expensive than competitors, but he also adds a personal touch and brings so much local knowledge to the table. I could not imagine climbing Kili with any other company, and I hope your dreams come true with Godson Adventures too!

Good guide and good plan
I booked 5-day safari from Arusha to Tarangire NP (1 day), Serengeti NP (2 days), Ngorongoro and Manyara. My guide Farag is knowledgeable about the areas and always getting his car at the best space to let me watch the animals. We are lucky to find cheeta 3 times, leopard 5 times. I told my guide I wished to see migration and male lion in the close distance after day 2. We did see male lions closely and migration of wildbeest and zebro. It's spectacular. Highly recommended.
