Good Earth Tours & Safaris

awesome safari experience

my safari trip with my three daughters was the trip of a life time! We went on the recommendation of a co worker because choosing a company from the many available was overwhelming and frankly scary. She did not steer us wrong. Good Earth was helpful from day one, accomodating our scheduling requests and answering all my questions. Our driver- Moses- was amazing. His English was outstanding and he was knowlegeable about all the wild life, plants and birds in the various areas. He accomodated our requests and catered to our needs. The accomodations were nothing short of amazing and staff everywhere were wonderful. we were able to see animals that we never expected- and experienced the great migration first hand, many lions and their cubs and a high point of my trip- a lion taking down an animal. I have already recommended Good Earth to several of my friends and i fully plan to return to Africa during a different season, using Good Earth.

Sensational Serengeti Safari

We just returned from our 8 day Northern Tanzania safari and the experience provided by Good Earth Tours and our guide, Prosper, from start to finish went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Prosper did an incredible job throughout the entire trip spotting animals and doing his best to get us close to the action while still being respectful of the animals. He also had a ton of knowledge about the wildlife and the local tribal cultures. We saw so many amazing sights and animals, we feel truly fortunate to have gotten to experience such a beautiful country. In fact, we were sad to leave at the end of our trip. We felt like Prosper had become part of our family and Tanzania our home away from home! Even though the roads were quite rough getting from Ngorongoro to the Serengeti (as others have mentioned) we were glad our itinerary enabled us to get all the way to the Northern Serengeti. The scenery and wildlife up there were like something out of a movie. We would highly recommend anyone planning a safari to Tanzania to make sure they can get all the way up there. Also, don't pass up opportunities to check one of the Masai or local villages as it really helped give us a sense of what life is really like for those that live in the area. If you do choose to stop, just come prepared with some extra cash as you might be encouraged (especially by the Masai) to donate to their water fund and patron their little jewelry "stores" to support the village. We chose the "Premier" level of accommodations for our trip and every place we stayed was amazing. Friendly, attentive staff, good food and amazing views at each location. Our two favorite stops were the Maramboi Tented Camp on Manyara Lake and the Ang'ata Tented Camp in the Northern Serengeti. Before our trip we thought it would be a once in a lifetime adventure, but after our time there, we're already talking about wanting to go back! Also, given everything we experienced and the accommodations, the price was beyond reasonable. Thank you again Good Earth and especially Prosper for helping create memories for our family that we'll carry with us the rest of our lives!

Excellent Trip!

We wanted to travel with a Tanzanian owned Tour Company on our safari; and decided to book with Good Earth Tours after reading so many great reviews about them and their involvement in the local communities there.

We had such a great safari- many thanks to our safari guide George who is an excellent guide with many years of experience; and Baraka in their US office for arranging our trip for us.

I would highly recommend Good Earth Tours to everyone contemplating a trip to Tanzania.

Good Earth allowed me to customize to my heart's content, guided me with opinions and alternatives when asked, and took the best care of us! Ask for Prosper if you are into photography at all. He has a passion for the same, and he truly enjoys helping you find the best shots! But most of all, Prosper is the perfect mix of knowledge, skilled driver (very important in the event of rain!) humor, friend, and great Eagle Eyes! lol!
