Poor communication
3/5

Unfortunately our experience with Habitat and especially Goodluck Kombe was not as positive as everyone here describes it. This has certainly spoilt our once in a lifetime Safari experience and here is why…
We enquired about a safari itinerary in May 2025, based on a recommendation of someone who went on Safari with Goodluck as a guide. This was a special trip for my husband 65th birthday.

After receiving 2 quotes (one for mid range and one for high end), we decided on the high end itinerary, this included Habitat organising the internal flights for us. We had no changes/special requests for the initial quote. We paid the deposit and we have not heard anything from Habitat until August when they followed up on the 2nd payment. Again, we paid and we have not heard anything more. A week before our scheduled safari started, Goodluck followed up on the last payment and I requested if we can pay by card on arrival (due to the high amount), and he agreed.

This is where it all started to go wrong:

Upon arrival in Arusha, I was ready to pay the balance by card, as agreed with Goodluck before travelling. I got greeted by one of his employees but he did not have a POS and said that he’d send me a link to pay online. We headed to our first destination and that evening I received an email from Goodluck telling me he was expecting cash on arrival and that I put other people’s dream holidays at risk by not paying Habitat. After pointing out that he agreed for me to pay by card on arrival, I paid the remaining balance online that evening.
The next morning I received another email from Goodluck telling me that I only paid 50% and I still owed them $5k. You can imagine the panic, stressing out where the money disappeared. Finally, later that day he confirmed that he received the full amount but I still owed them $18 for his bank fees (if he wanted the client to pay his bank fees, he should have included it in the quote) – I passed $18 cash to our designated guide.
He also mentioned that their sales manager underquoted me by about 10% of the total cost (!!!) and initially asked if I can contribute anything towards this amount, the next day he said Habitat will absorb this cost. It is not very nice to ask a client, on their first day of the trip, to pay for your employee’s mistakes.

Initially (in May) we were told our internal flights were with Auric. We made arrangements based on the times of these flights. The week before travelling, we received tickets for Flightlink for different times and even different days!!! This unfortunately had a negative impact on our plans travelling back to Dar Es Salaam at the end of the safari.

The initial (May) itinerary included 4 different hotels. During the safari we realised that 3 out of the 4 hotels were changed and we were never informed about these changes. I am sure that the hotels were same quality as the initially communicated ones but it was not nice not to know where you’ll be staying and only find out when you pull up at the hotel.

On the positive note is that our guide was amazing and made the rest of the trip enjoyable.
Goodluck never asked how was our safari experience at the end of the trip…

A safari experience of a lifetime.
5/5

In August 2025 we had the privilege of going on a private Tanzanian safari with Goodluck Kombe and Habitat Adventures Travel. From the moment we initiated contact in July 2024 until our trip concluded on an airstrip in the Northern Serengeti National Park, Habitat Adventures Travel took care of every detail. They patiently answered our questions, drafted and redrafted our itinerary, walked us through the money transfers and guided us through the Visa and Insurance processes.  While on safari, Goodluck was extremely responsive and delivered on every one of our requests.

We also thought that Goodluck brought a technical expertise to our safari.  On one particular day we spent about 4 hours looking for leopards amongst the acacia trees.  It was the only animal missing from our search for the big 5. We found a pair in the late afternoon, exactly where he thought they might be, and we got our best photos of the entire trip.  In another instance he managed to keep our jeep out of the jumble of safari vehicles so when the wildebeest started crossing the Mara River we were able to move quickly and get the best viewing position.

While on a safari you spend a lot of time in the jeep with your guide. We found it was easy to spend time with Goodluck. He was extremely knowledgeable, forthcoming with stories and info about the animals and birds that we were seeing and always offered sound advice.

This trip had been on our bucket list for a long time. Habitat Adventures Travel helped us make it a reality.  In our opinion you can not go wrong trusting your safari to Habitat Adventures Travel.

unforgettable safari
5/5

the journey with Habitat Adventures Travel was genuinely unforgettable. The Tanzanian adventure exceeded all the expectations: seamless organization and personal touches throughout the trip. Everything went perfectly, and we were particularly impressed by our guide Gioele: his kindness, availability and dedication truly made the trip even more special.

Goodluck was an extremely knowledgeable, funny, competent tour guide.
5/5

I would highly recommend Goodluck and Habitat Adventures for a safari experience. Goodluck worked with us to personalize our itinerary and planned amazing activities and booked beautiful accommodations. There was a nice variety of experiences in addition to seeing animals in the parks.

An incredible adventure with Goodluck and Habitat Adventures

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

What an experience with Goodluck and his staff! We (2 couples-no kids) were fortunate to travel with him for our 8 day safari through the major parks (Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Central/Northern Serengeti) and he is the ultimate professional. From the beginning of the planning process (9 months before the trip with amazing response times via email and Whatsapp from Goodluck) until our final ride to the airport in Arusha Goodluck was responsive, helpful, warm, detail oriented, caring and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the animals. Our lodging was amazing and even when there was a slight change in our lodging plan in the north he adapted and it did not dampen the experience. He is a very safe driver and while we were tired from all of the bumpy roads and long drives between parks, Goodluck never seemed to tire and kept up his energy level throughout. Our trips outside of the parks (Arusha, Materuni waterfall hike, coffee bar lunch-amazing) were also planned with thoughtful detail and we were all incredibly pleased with every aspect of the trip. Goodluck's demeanor and experience added so much and we all became friends and I know we will stay in touch and hopefully he will visit us in the USA. While it is a much smaller safari company then many of the others, we never felt like we were not receiving a full experience and everything we did was carefully planned and well executed. You will not go wrong with using Habitat Adventures for your trip to this amazing country.
