Great adventures come with small, local safari tours!
Selecting a small, local safari company was a goal of ours but nerve racking at the same time. Effort was made to obtain references from others that had gone before us. Earthlife's itinerary from the get go was exactly what we wanted. They catered to our desires, which was important given that this was a trip of a lifetime for my family. We traveled with our 2 young daughters (13 and 10). My only recommendation would be continued dialogue up to the day of your journey. We were surprised when our guide wasn't the person that Earthlife had identified early on. That being said, the guide who led us through this adventure (Aggrey) was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better fit for our family. He taught us so much about animal behavior and the Tanzanian culture. I would highly recommend Aggrey.

Absolutely amazing. Saw things that you usually only see on TV.
Our guide Aggrey, better known as "Eagle Eyes" made our trip. He showed us the big five plus many other animals. We had the opportunity to witness events that are only seen on TV. Our accommodations far exceeded what we thought we would have. I would definitely recommend Earthlife Expeditions to anyone going to Tanzania for safari. They are a local company so your money will stay and help the locals of Tanzania. Can not wait to go back and do it again.

Great company, excellent value
They did a great job from responding to our initial inquiries to making sure that everything went well after the safari. Deo and Catherine are friendly and informative, and we knew from the start that we were in good hands. Our guide, Aggrey, really made the difference for us while on safari, and not just because he has the sharpest eyes around (we saw a giant pangolin!) -- he's enthusiastic about animal-watching, and this flavored our whole experience. I've been on lots of safaris with other operators and bored driver/guides. Earthlife was easily the best experience I've had in over 25 years in and around Africa.

Trip of a lifetime, lets do it again!
From our very first communications, the initial itinerary for our safari vacation, we had a good feeling about Earthlife Expeditions. Now that we have returned from the trip, we feel even better about choosing them!
One of our reasons for choosing Earthlife was we wanted the services of a local Tanzanian company who would know the area, support the local people and economy. So like many others seem to have done, we went with our "gut feeling" and chose a small company with few reviews but seemingly good references. This paid off in spades.
Deo and Catherine are professional, warm, and very accommodating. The details of our trip were planned perfectly, applying both our requests and Deo's terrific suggestions. Each and every place we stayed I wished we could stay longer. The tented camps are the place to be!
Our guide was outstanding. I am still amazed at his ability to navigate the "roads" in the parks, have a conversation about food, and spot an animal in a far off shadow all at the same time! He was incredibly knowledgable about both the wildlife, and the area. There is nothing we didn't see, and we learned quite a lot.
It was surprising how disappointing we felt when we had to leave him as we went on to Zanzibar. Upon our return to the mainland on our last day, we were then ridiculously excited when he ended up being the one to pick us up at the airport an on to our last days events.
Everyone at Earthlife works very hard to make their clients trip the trip of a lifetime. There service is nothing short of outstanding. Now I hope to make that once in a lifetime trip, a second time! Maybe someday.
Without reservations, I highly recommend this company for anyone going on a safari adventure.

Great time in Tanzania
I work in tourism in Romania and I'm use with different kind of touristic program. What i done with Deo it was more that a tour it was a real experience. He is a wonderful manager, guide and friend in the same time. He are very concern to have a good time, to be in safe and to see as much us possible from wild life. He have a lot of knowledge about all the area and also about the animals. I rely recommend him and his company for a safe and nice tour.

Best tour operator in all of Tanzania
Deo & his crew are one of the most well respected tour providers in all of Africa. What makes them stand out so much from others is the quality of the guides. The guides you use for your trip greatly determine how enjoyable a time you have and they have the best. I recommend this company to any and every person considering going to Africa. Use them and you will not be disappointed!
