Great Safari Experience
We booked a longer safari (8 days) through Good earth, and their representative Baraka was very helpful in setting up custom portions of our trip. They looked after us from the time we landed in JRO at 3 AM, maybe too well as with the excellent food on safari we were putting on weight, and looking to pitch in to get active! We did the comfy camping, in which we slept on cots in a canvas dome tent. Very comfortable, and it was great to be out where animals could travel by as you slept. Gerald, our guide, had an uncanny ability to know where to find game and spot it, and maintains high standards of conduct with respect to wildlife. He is friendly and knowledgeable, an excellent guide. We had our own cook / porter, Yusuf, who was a master at putting together delicious and nutritious meals. We saw the big 5, as well as cheetah, hippo, and crocs, wildebeest and zebras migrating and fording rivers, a lion kill right in front of us, and an epic lions vs hyenas confrontation over a kill. A lifetime of experiences in just over a week.

They take care of you from the time you land in Kilamenjaro to when they wave goodby - Unbeliveable
From the first conversation with Baraka for the trip planning to the last animal sighting with our guide Abdul, Good Earth Tours made this trip, "The Trip of a Lifetime". The game drives, Bush camps, Lodges, cultural tours and knowledge of the animals and the land, nothing could have been better. Food was great, service in all of the camps was wonderful. I would recommend Good Earth Tours to anyone who is looking for a Safari experience that will be talked about for years to come.

Trip of a lifetime with Good Earth
Good Earth arranged a month-long Africa trip for my wife and I to Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and South Africa. We could not have been happier with every phase of the trip, from travel, to meals and accommodations and most importantly our guided tours. Many, many thanks to our guides John in Kenya, Aron in Tanzania and Andrew in South Africa. Each of them were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. And a big thanks to Baraka who helped us plan the trip and provided all the support we needed. This was our best trip ever.

Another Excellent Safari Experiences!
What a wonderful company to deal with! Baraka (in the US office) was very quick with responses, he planned a wonderful Safari for four of us.
This is the third long safari we have taken with Good Earth Tours and it was just as good as the other two. Having been to Tanzania many times before, we knew exactly where we wanted to go and where we wanted to stay and it was all arranged with no issue and at good prices being repeat customers!
Good Earth is not the cheapest but it is worth every cent. Accommodation was amazing, food and service fantastic. But the best was our guide/driver Joseph, words can't describe what a wonderful guide and person he is. If the sun too bright for photos he would move the van to get the best shots, he obviously is a keen photographer as he was so aware of all the issues photographers face. He will go extra distance to make sure you see absolutely everything!
Definitely book with these folks and if possible, ask for Joseph.

Unforgettable Adventure!
I was trying to get a reasonable Safari in Tanzania without going through an expensive Company. I contacted Good Earth Tours; they were professional and very polite. We agreed on a price which was excellent. We had Richie as our guide who is pleasant and can spot an animal hundreds of miles away hidden. Richie has a vast knowledge of animals, birds and even plants!! It was an adventure we will never forget.

Flawless organization of our Africa Tour
Good Earth Tours and Safaris organized our tour to Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. We worked with Baraka, their lead, starting in October of 2023. We outlined what we wanted to do and see and he had some great suggestions. Our trip was quite complex and included multiple locations like Zanzibar, Serengeti, NgoroNgoro, Tarangire, Victoria Falls and Cape Town. All the arrangements were fabulous. Baraka and his team were accessible and very focused on delivering the best experience for their customers. I would highly recommend them.

Trip of a Lifetime! Shangaza!! (amazing)
Good Earth Tours was recommended to me by a friend who planned a safari for them 10 years ago and they cherished their experience! We were looking for a tour operator who would allow us to create a custom itinerary and Good Earth Tours not only allowed us to to do that but worked closely with us to guide us through the planning process. The agent/owner we worked with was Baraka. He was excellent to work with: knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and he genuinely cared about planning the perfect experience for us. Our itinerary turned out to be 22 days long, including 5 countries with safaris, Victoria Falls, and ending in Cape Town. All accommodations were lovely and everything went smoothly..no issues, no glitches! Our safari guides were extremely knowledgeable, kind and lots of fun. We saw the Big Five on our first game drive!!
Good Earth Tours did an amazing job from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tour operator for an African experience. In fact, I already have recommended them to friends! Thank you Baraka and Good Earth Tours for giving me a wonderfully unforgettable experience.

The best safari experience in Tanzania!
We just had our first-ever Safari experience in Tanzania and we had such a wonderful time. Our tour guide Fadhil was fantastic, and he made our trip memorable (July 1-6, 2024). He is experienced, friendly, patient, and accommodating. The hotels we stayed in were top-notch. The transportation which was a Land Cruiser, was comfortable with charging stations so we could make sure our camera and devices were ready to go.
We picked the five days Northern Tanzania safari on this trip. The first day when we arrived, we toured Arusha town and took it easy that day since we flew in from Hawaii and the flight was unbelievably long (25 hours). On the second day we started our game drive to the Ngorongoro National Park and our guide was able to find us many exotic animals to see up close including many lions, hyenas, leopard and rhinos. When we went back to the hotel that evening, we talked to another family, and they were surprised that our tour guide was able to find those animals in the park that they didn’t get to see.
After Ngorongoro, we headed to Serengeti for more game driving. We stayed at the Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp. My husband booked the trip and I was extremely skeptical about staying at a camp in the middle of the safari but to my surprise, the camp was extremely comfortable and it had a bathroom on each tent. We were woken up each night by different animal sounds as they were probably extremely close to us. In Serengeti, our tour guide was also able to take us to visit one of the Masai villages and we saw how they lived and visited their school. It was the highlight of our trip.
On the second day in Serengeti, my husband told our guide he really wanted to see the great migration on this trip but unfortunately, we were three weeks behind the migration and the animals had left. Fadhil was able to drive us to West Serengeti to see the tail end of the migration. It was amazing to have thousands of animals following one another to Kenya. Our tour guide really went above and beyond to make our trip special. All the hotels we stayed in were clean and comfortable, and we felt extremely safe. Thanks again for the wonderful trip, we highly recommend this company!

Incredible Safari Experience
A well organized and enjoyable 14 days safari into both Kenya and Tanzania.
Services were far beyond our expectations with both of their guides in Kenya and Tanzania. They were just awesome; helping us have such memorable and unforgettable experiences.
I hope to return to Africa another time to do a longer safari and would not hesitate to book with them again.

An exciting Africa Adventure
We used Good Earth Tours to book our trip to Tanzania and South Africa, and I would highly recommend them. They made everything extremely simple, they had excellent communication. Narry could not have planned a better trip. We simply gave him our travel dates, preferences on level and type of accommodations, and a budget and he took care of the rest! We were given very detailed itineraries with all the information we could possibly need.
The vehicles were of high quality, and the guides drove us extremely safely. We stayed in both lodges and tented camps, all of which were very clean, great meals and great locations!
We had a fantastic experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Good Earth Tours!
