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.

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.

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.

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.
Highly professional company
GET developed a bespoke package to meet our needs. Best week of our life.
Their experience shines through

A Perfect Personalized Safari Experience!
My wife and I just came back from a 10 days safari in Tanzania and it was AMAZING.
We selected Good Earth Tours as our tour operator and couldn’t be happier with our choice. We had contacted a few other companies but Good Earth Tours was the only one that responded to our many questions in timely manner and gave us appropriate advises all the time.
We stayed in amazing camps and lodges (mostly Serena Hotels) and were all of great service with very nice meals.
We had Moses as our guide. He is very professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the parks, history of the country, the culture, and especially the animals and birds. With his expertise we were able to an insane amount of different species of animals and birds. We were very pleased with both our driver and the safari vehicle.
Would highly recommend Good Earth Tours for its very personalized service without reservation.

Private tour with great guides, accommodations, and experiences.
We toured Cape Town and the Cape peninsula, flew to Victoria Falls, followed by three safari camps in Botswana. All was well planned and delivered. Thanks Good Earth.

Amazing trip for our family of 5!
I began planning our Africa safari trip for our family of five (three teenagers) about a year ago. To see a diverse sat areas in Africa and visit at least two different national parks. With a family of five budget was also a significant consideration.
Baraka did an amazing job to create a creative itinerary that allowed us to go deep into Zimbabwe and also visit Botswana as well. The facilities he chose were fantastic and within the budget that I had laid out.
His follow up through the planning process and while we were in country was also exceptional.
I highly recommend Baraka and Good Earth Tours if you are looking for a Safari tour provider.
Baraka can provide my contact information if you have any specific questions you would like to discuss.

Amazing safari experience
My family and I went on a safari in northern Tanzania this summer. Our trip was more than what we expected, thanks to the experienced and knowledgeable advice of our tour consultant, Baraka and our tour guide, Juma, aka “Bush Baby”
Baraka was very helpful in setting up a customized itinerary for us, which focused on places we wanted to visit, animals we would like to see, and level of accommodations we would like to stay; and a guide who is the best for traveling with family with young kids.
All these exceeded our expectations, and “Bush Baby” was a right fit for our family to have such a great safari experience.
Everything went perfectly all the way so I cannot do more than recommending Good Earth big time!

Committed to serving their clients
We had a most wonderful experience with Good Earth Tours in Tanzania in October 2016. First we did a 4-day climb of Mt.Meru, then a 9-day-climb of Kilimanjaro via the Northern Circuit route, and finally a 3-day "comfortable camping" safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, and before, in-between and after each trip we always stayed in the Planet Lodge in Arusha. We were a group of 4 friends on the first and last trip, with a 5th friend joining us for Kilimanjaro only.
When planning the trips, I asked for an offer including the Northern Circuit route on Kilimanjaro, and even though it was not officially mentioned on the website, I soon got a good offer which we were happy to proceed with. On the trips, everyone was always committed to serving us in a great way, always cheerful and eager. We were well-supplied with good food, especially the warm meals were very delicious, so we did not need most of the snacks we had brought along ourselves. Needless to say, we all made it to both summits. The Northern Circuit was a great experience, we were able to avoid all crowds for at least 3 days, being totally alone then.
Our safari guide was extremely knowledgeable and skilled, so thanks to him we had some thrilling wildlife sightings that I believe most other park visitors miss, including seeing endangered species such as cheetahs.
We really loved the Planet Lodge that Good Earth Tours uses: the hotel rooms are actually in small bungalows scattered in a beautiful tropical garden, very peaceful.
I believe we really got an exceptional value-for-money deal with Good Earth Tours and I can highly recommend them.
