Good Earth Tours Reviews 

Customized Trip Planning, Experienced Guides, Seamless Transfers, Good Communications, Quality Accommodations

This was the most incredible experience! Elias was a phenomenal guide who made sure everything went smoothly. The itinerary for the small group tour was very well planned and enjoyable. As a solo female traveler, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed this trip immensely! I’m already looking to plan another!

We had a great experience with Good Earth Tours from the first moment of contact with planning and booking with Brenda, Joshua taking over once booked guiding us through the process and answering so many questions (and even encouraging me as I tried to learn some swahili!), to our AMAZING guide and now friend Patrick who's guidance, education, and patience gave us so many lifetime experiences we will never, ever forget from the moment we met till the moment we said a very fond "see you again my friend".

The lodges were all spectacular in their own unique way, the food fantastic, and everyone on staff knew your name and treated you like you were a long time customer they'd known for years.

And the places we saw, the things we did, from Nairobi, Aberdare, Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, and Lake Naivasha.... speechless at the experiences we were so fortunate to have. Everyday game drive brought new excitement and never got boring.

I also highly recommend if you truly want to see the heart of Kenya don't just fly from park to park. You will see animals, yes, but the true culture and heartbeat of Kenya lies in the cities and towns and people between the parks.

We had the adventure of a lifetime.

Asante sana Nchi Njema na kenya kwa kutuonyesha uzuri wako wote

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Good Earth Tours. From start to finish, everything was handled so professionally and with such care. The team was extremely friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Our safari was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Elias. He was outstanding. So knowledgeable, patient, and always happy to answer all of our questions. You could really tell how passionate he is about what he does, and it made the experience even more special. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw amazing wildlife and had the best possible time.
We made memories that will last a lifetime and couldn't have asked for a better tour company. We’re already dreaming about going back!
Highly recommend Good Earth Tours to anyone looking for a fantastic safari adventure.

We had a wonderful experience with Good Earth Tours! All the lodging was excellent and the guides were outstanding! We were with Fadhili for the majority of our trip and Salum for the last few days. Their knowledge and ability to share their love for the land and animals was such a valuable part of the trip. We loved them both!

We saw so much wildlife and our group of 6 had a wonderful time in Tanzania!

Our safari with Good Earth Tours spanned across three countries and was an incredible experience from start to finish. The entire journey was thoughtfully organized, smooth, and truly unforgettable.

The highlights of our trip were in Tanzania, where we visited the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, explored Ndutu, and traveled through Serengeti National Park. Experiencing these iconic landscapes and ecosystems in person was beyond anything we had imagined. One of the most remarkable moments was seeing the Big Five on our very first day.

We were fortunate to witness many amazing wildlife encounters throughout the trip: a beautiful leopard resting in a tree, lions mating just an arm’s length away, a cheetah with her fresh kill, and the incredible sight of a leopard carefully stalking a reedbuck. These moments made the experience thrilling and deeply memorable.

What stood out most was the level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the trip. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the magic of Africa.

Our guide was truly special, his level of knowledge of the terrain and the animals was beyond compare. He even went so far as to consider positioning us in the best place for photo lighting

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we would highly recommend Good Earth Tours to anyone considering a trip to Africa. It exceeded all expectations and left us already thinking about when we can return.

Our 11-day Tanzania safari with Good Earth Tours was absolutely unforgettable. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu, and the Serengeti, and every destination exceeded expectations.

Our guide Abu was outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and with a great sense of humor. He always found the best spots for wildlife viewing and photography and managed to tick every animal on our list, including both white and black rhinos.

Each place we stayed offered something special, whether it was the view, the service, or the food — all were excellent and thoughtfully chosen.

From planning with Arif, to coordinating with Joshua, to being guided by Abu, Good Earth Tours delivered a seamless and truly memorable Tanzanian experience. Highly recommended!

For many years we wanted to go on an African Safari adventure and working with Brenda at Good Earth tours to plan the trip was wonderful. She listened to what we wanted and put together a great itinerary. Looking forward to the trip.

We had a fantastic experience with Good Earth tours in Tanzania. Expectations were exceeded. Our guide Richard made the trip. We highly recommend Good earth tours

Good Earth Tours made a our trip easy and low stress. Our safari in Tanzania had lots of logistics, including lodging, separate tours with local guides, and an interior flight. The company handled all those logistics flawlessly, which made it easy for us to relax on our vacation.

We are planning a trip to Africa and started about one year ahead. We knew key locations we wanted to visit and that there were four of us traveling. Good Earth tours has done an excellent job of putting together our itinerary and providing us with all the information we need.We are so looking forward to our Safari in nine months and will let you know afterwards how wonderful it was.

We are just completing the planning phase for our Safari in June. I've gotten immediate responses from our representative, Arif, and when needed we had a zoom call for more information. The process has been incredibly smooth. The team has been more than cooperative working around our flights coming in. They are still quick to answer questions as they arise. Looking forward to our in June!

Brenda and Ntimi have been great on the planning and have answered very fast and in a great way (very clear and to the point) all our questions about the travel and safari in Tanzania. Thanks very much! Kudos!

Our great migration safari was one of the greatest experiences in our life. Everything went smoothly. The amount of wildlife that we seen was staggering on top of seeing the big five. Accommodation s were great. Like to thank Suzanne for guiding us through the process. Also our guides Eliaza in Kenya and Ben in Tanzania they were great in finding the animals and getting up close. Thanks to everybody else involved. Everything was perfect. When we decide on coming back for another safari we will definitely be booking with Good Earth Tours.

In planning for a September trip, Good Earth has done a great job of educating and guiding us through the process. Brenda and Baraka have been very attentive to our needs!

I have spent over a year going back and forth with Baraka about 4 different legs of our upcoming Africa trip to 5 different locations, in which different configurations of people will be coming and going at different times (each with their own preferences, of course). What a patient man! He is so friendly and knowledgeable and was willing to adjust, adjust, adjust until we got the perfect custom itinerary to meet each person’s needs and budget. I cannot recommend him and Good Earth highly enough.

We haven’t travelled yet, so I will update once the trip is done. But I was asked for an honest Trust Pilot review of the planning process and I didn’t want to miss the chance to sing Baraka’s praises.

From planning, accommodations, to the game drives, and knowledge and experience of guides and staff - Good Earth is exceptional. Best Trip of my life. The Tanzanian people are incredibly friendly. Excellent service at all the lodging we enjoyed. Food was wonderful and plentiful. We could not have been more pleased. So many animals, the Big Five, and the wonderful Maasai people made for an amazing trip. Thanks to our guide Abdul.

Our Tanzania safari was the experience of a lifetime. We had a skilled and informative guide that provided a lot of insight into what we were actually seeing. Each of our stops: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara, offered a unique perspective on the wildlife and environment. Every facility was fantastic, and the people who worked there were very welcoming. I'll have to say having a giraffe graze just of the pool deck in the Serengeti lodge was a highlight.

Everything went so smoothly. We had great help in planning our trip and in supporting us through some small challenges. Once the trip began, the adventure began. Our guides were knowledgeable and so fun to be around. The accommodations chosen were wonderful. We were in hotels, huts and tents. We particularly loved the tents. It was wonderful to be out in the wild and at night to hear the animal noises. How special to be sitting by the fire with people from around the world chatting it up when a group of elephants meander by into the brush. All of this under the African night sky and bright stars. The food was delish. I was particularly fond of the soups. One of our favorite places was Crescent Island. So many animals were roaming freely while we just walked around. Unbelievable! We saw more than we ever expected in a few days and from very close up. This was a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Good Earth for all that you did to make our trip a huge success.

If you want an over-the-top visit and safari to Africa, Good Earth Tours is your company and Arif Kassu is your man!! In planning this bucket list trip I talked with at least 6 different operators, but he was the only one truly knowledgeable about making my dream of seeing the great migration river crossing actually happen! Not only did he place me with outstanding guides and well located and divine accommodations in Tanzania, Kenya, and a private conservatory, but he guided me on planning and executing my solo trip with kindness, immense expertise, and aplomb. Throughout the planning process before my departure but also during the entire 2 week trip he offered sage advice and guidance, kept in touch, and arranged every detail with perfection. I am a saavy experienced world wide traveler, but I have never experienced this degree of thoughtful personal attention! Taking multiple internal flights and traveling not only on safari but also touring in Arusha and Nairobi, I was greeted and escorted at every transfer and felt immensely well cared for, safe and protected.
I asked Arif for help with making some charitable donations, and he arranged for an unforgettable visit to a nearby orphanage and a different religious institution of my choosing. These 2 visits were peek life experiences I will always cherish! And I did have the good fortune to see a river crossing by ~10,000 wildebeest- a dream come true thanks to Arif and my amazing guide James! Arif is also a truly fine man and I think you will be as happy as I if you select him. Just do it!
