Unforgettable and top-quality journey
We had the pleasure of having Goodluck as our driver and guide throughout our trip in Tanzania, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to accompany us on this journey.
Goodluck went above and beyond to meet all our wishes and needs. He always made sure we were comfortable and happy, and he showed great flexibility whenever we had specific requests. His knowledge about the country, its culture, and especially the wildlife we encountered was truly impressive. Thanks to his explanations, every sighting became even more special and meaningful.
On top of that, Goodluck is a genuinely kind and pleasant person who truly wants the best for his guests. You can clearly see that he is passionate about his work and dedicated to giving everyone the best possible experience.
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Goodluck. He will do everything he can to make sure you have an unforgettable and top-quality journey.

Very professional, respectful, knowledgable about wild life, and passionate.
We were very lucky to have “Good Luck” our guide during our first trip in Tanzania. We do recommend him a lot !
We took 2 full-safari- days and it was a great choice. The hotel, the service, communication - everything made our stay one of a kind !
Thank you Good luck!

So thankful to Robert our Guide/driver who took such good care of us and showed us so much wildlife
We are so thankful to Robert our Guide/driver who clearly loves his country. He showed us the most beautiful places in Tanzania, including so much wildlife!!! He was so patient with us as we wanted to take so many photos of all the wildlife, and he always made sure we had the time that we wanted during each experience. We feel so fortunate to have had Robert as our driver. He was so very safe and never took any chances with our safety. We cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us. We had a wonderful experience thanks to Robert.💖

The company is not professional with minimum customer care
George Killas, owner of Terrain Tanzania Safaris, left us completely unsupported during multiple trip failures—and never took responsibility.
After a full day of travel, our group (which included elderly family members) was denied check-in. The hotel informed us that George had failed to make payment, even though he had told us everything was confirmed. Later on, he tried to explain the situation and then we realized that he knew this could happen weeks ago but chose not to inform us.
When the hotel rejected the voucher, George told us to “just show it again” and dropped the call. We spent over an hour begging hotel staff to let us stay while he did nothing. It was humiliating, stressful, and completely avoidable.
Throughout the trip, George showed no accountability. From disappearing during emergencies to making excuses instead of solutions, he abandoned us when we needed him most.
We booked this trip expecting reliable support and coordination from a trusted safari company. Instead, we were met with negligence, dishonesty, and total lack of professionalism.
Do not book with this company. George will take your money—and leave you stranded.

We want to thank this tourism company for such a great experience. We traveled from Spain to learn a little about animal life and we met a spectacular guide who showed us absolutely everything we wanted to find and much more. Goodluck, you are excellent.

Amazing !!!❤️🔥
We had an unforgettable experience with our guide Dallas, who was both very professional and treated us like his sisters. We couldn’t have hoped for a better guide. His mastery of the job, deep knowledge, and excellent driving skills allowed us to see the Big Five and more. Thank you so much, Dallas — we will never forget this incredible experience.
We highly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safaris.
Wishing you all the best going forward!

Professional, and excellent organisation
I cannot speak highly enough of our guide Goodluck, everything from the first moment was perfectly organised. I dont know how he was able to drive, give information and spot animals at the same time. He is an experienced driver and always made sure we got the best spot when seeing animals. He was always on time, the jeep was always spotless clean and we had no issues during the tour. Goodluck is very knowledgeable of animals, especially birds, and we learnt a lot from him. We were a group of 13, and extremely happy with the way the tour went. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

Way worse than we expected
I am very disappointed with the service from this company, including the director and tour guides.
Upon our arrival at Kenya International Airport in the morning after a long and exhausting flight from Asia, we were shocked to find that no one was there to pick us up. We waited for hours, anxiously looking for any sign of our transportation. During this time, we attempted to contact George multiple times, but we received no response. It was incredibly frustrating to be left in such a situation, especially after such a long journey. Ultimately, we had no choice but to call a taxi and make our own way to the first hotel. George only reached out to us after we had arrived at the hotel, explaining that his Kenyan partner had made a mistake and forgotten to send someone to pick us up. This lack of communication and organization was unacceptable.
On the following day in Kenya, we encountered further issues. The tour guide did not take us to the destination specified in our itinerary. Instead, we were pressured into participating in walking tours that required us to pay out of pocket, despite our initial refusals. The tour guide insisted that we must join at least one paid program, leaving us feeling coerced and dissatisfied with the experience we had originally signed up for.
Additionally, the lodges where we were accommodated were clearly of a much lower standard than what was promised in our itinerary. The company claimed that the accommodations listed were overbooked, yet they failed to provide us with equivalent options that matched the quality we had expected. The food served at these lodges was unsanitary, and we were suffering from diarrhea, which significantly impacted our trip.
Throughout our experience, there was a constant push to make us pay for additional services that were not part of our original package. Unplanned souvenir shopping stops were added without prior notice, which felt more like a sales tactic than a genuine part of our tour. This relentless focus on upselling not only detracted from our enjoyment but also made us feel undervalued as customers.
Overall, this trip has been far from the enjoyable experience we anticipated. I hope this feedback will be taken seriously to improve the service for future travelers.
