Perfect Safari experience
We were impressed with the planned itinerary from the start and after checking with previous customers felt that Earth life was for us. We discussed the pan in detail and made the arrangements suit our timings and interests. Deo was very helpful with suggestions and contacts and even checking out several hotels in one area to find the best possibility. We were in close communication for the 3 weeks leading up to our trip. I was still nervous after handing over so much money with only internet contact but everything was perfect. Moses our guide met us from the flight and we were delighted with his friendly approach and knowledge of the country and all its wildlife. The accommodation was mostly better than we had hoped and the luxury camps on the Serengeti are just a fabulous experience. We got to see everything we hoped for and felt fully relaxed and taken care of at every stage. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend them as a company to travel with for their reliability, service and knowledge of how to see the wildlife at its best.

A smooth, fluid and unforgettable experience
I first contacted Deo with a few questions and options for a Safari itinerary that matched my family’s schedule and specific interests. I soon received a detailed and personalized itinerary that met all our expectations. We contacted additional references who highly recommended this small local company and we were set on our Earthlife safari. Communication leading up to the trip was professional and timely and payment went smoothly. Soon we were in Tanzania and our safari began. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable on everything from culture to the amazing wildlife we saw in all of the parks. The accommodations were more than suitable; many had amazing views of the landscapes and good local food. Deo and the people at Earthlife ensured that everything was taken care of and we were able to fully enjoy our safari!

Earthlife is a wonderful company that is detailed oriented that takes care of its customers
We traveled with Earthlife Expeditions on August 2015. We have wonderful time visiting four national parks. Eartlife and Deo booked all wonderful lodges in all national parks. Earth life is a great company that puts their customers first. Eartlife provided us with great guide. Earthlife worked with us to provide perfect trip. We would highly recommend this safari company. We loved all the lodges that Earthlife booked for us. The whole trip was excellent.

Amazing Safari Adventure
After years of watching Discovery Channel and National Geographic, it was unbelievable to see the same sights in person—all thanks to Earthlife! Our guide, Aggrey was just as excited as we were to see each animal, whether it was the first time on the trip or the thousandth time that day. We learned more from him than from years of watching wildlife documentaries. Whether it was watching lions hunt and devour a kill or warthogs herding/chasing their young, he ensured that we got the best view. His experience and skill as a guide enabled us to see multiple Mara River crossings and countless big cats. We saw the Big 5 all thanks to his great eyes: the elusive black rhino had not been spotted in Ngorongoro in three days, that day Aggrey found us four, even spotting two from the lookout on the rim. He made many people very happy that day and impressed many of the other guides. Our entire experience on safari, arranged effortlessly through Earthlife, made for an amazing adventure.

Professional and personal, Earthlife gave us a safari of a life time!
My family and I had a wonderful experience with Earthlife and we could not have asked for a better safari for the price. Our accommodations exceeded expectations and the bushcamps were a great experience: falling asleep to the sound of distant prides of lions and nearby zebra and antelope is unforgettable. The food was a great mix of local dishes and foreign cuisine; there was always something for everyone. Our guide was warm, friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable which allowed us to see an array of animals. We got amazing photographs of the big cats and elephants that came right up to our jeep. It was an experience of a lifetime-a big thank you to everyone at Earthlife.

highly recommended Earthlife Expeditions
we just went on a 8 day safari in north Tanzania, we contacted Earthlife Expeditions and some others directly in september and they reacted immediately and very professional. They asked me what I was looking for and a couple of days later I received a proposal in line with my needs. The tour was perfect and the hotel,lodges,tented camps were all very nice but the star of our trip was our driver/guide Adriano. He found incredible spots to visits, found the best angel for our pictures. We saw all animals we wanted to see as well as we saw the migration. He explained everything about the wild life and made our trip unforgettable.highly recommended

They Treated us like Family !!! Trust their years of experience!
VIP experience All the way! Stop your search for a company you can trust and get the best value for your money. This is it! From the first time we called to the final goodbye we felt like Earthlife Expeditions wanted our experience to be everything we had hoped for and More!!! Deo was the first person we called who asked us what we wanted out of our vacation and gave us options of accommodations to fit our budget. He knew where the animals were at the time of year we were going, and put us in all the right places. I can't imagine trusting anyone else to plan my vacation.
There was always someone to greet us every step of the way! At airports, hotels, excursions, we truly felt like super stars!! It was the trip of a lifetime! Special thanks to Angelina too!
Moustapha was our driver, Ask for him!!! He has over 20 years of experience driving though the Serengeti and the experience pays off! He could spot things miles away. He knew how to approach animals in the truck so they wouldn't feel threatened. And when it rained he knew how NOT to get stuck. We even had to help others out of the mud. He made us feel so safe and secure out in the middle of "no where" He was amazing. His knowledge of the animals, birds and foliage is something that only comes with his many years of experience! We leaned so much and forever grateful to him for making our vacation as wonderful as possible.
On a side note; before, were hesitant to do the Maasai village and Mtowambu town tours. We thought that they would be too touristy and hard sell trinket places. They do have things to buy in those places BUT... the memories of walking through the rice fields and drinking home made banana beer or sitting with a Maasai warrior in his stick and mud hut home and discussing children...Priceless!!! ...Go!
Our lodging was great,(10 Day Safari) the safari truck was nice and filled with refrigerated water! The itinerary gave us different terrain and different looks of Tanzania every day. It was so great I want every one I know to call Deo and Catherine to book a trip with them!!! I even want my 84 year old mom and her best friend go! The only regret is that we didn't do it sooner! It would be a perfect family vacation. Forever Grateful!

Everything was beyond what we expected!
We looked around many places trying to find a company that gave us confidence for our safari honeymoon trip. The guys on EarthLife were always available to respond all our questions and very quickly which gave us a good idea. The paying plan also make us feel very safe in the decision we were making. Once we landed everything was smooth sailing. Moison picked us up and took us to their office and they greeted us with the best smile and enthusiasm. Moison took us to buy sim cards for our phones and to our first hotel which was brilliant!.
From this point forward all hotels were incredible, the food to our surprise was delicious everywhere we went. We didn't take a friend's advice and bought a bottle of our favorite whiskey beforehand as the hotels have a limited stock of booze. They always found a way to make us feel like our honeymoon was special.
Moison our guide was the best guide you could wish for, he was a seasoned guide with many miles on the serengeti and a TRUE MAASAI! He always took the longest routes and made sure we covered everything, and his efforts paid off! we saw the big 5! and plenty other animals, he followed his gut and his knowledge to separate himself from the other tours and gave us spectacular views of the animals and sites. You could even see him give directions to the other tourguides and you could tell he was well respected!
All in all this trip became me and my wife's all time favorite trip and this was all thanks to the services provided by EarthLife and its team.

The perfect Christmas getaway
Wow! A trip of a lifetime adventure. From start to finish Earthlife came through. Caudence answered questions quickly and was very helpful to my changes. When our flights changed the night before we were to fly, Caudence handled it quickly. We had a small problem with my final payment not going through, but Deo and Caudence were helpful to solve the situation.
The tented camps were amazing. They looked like it was set up for a movie. The team were very caution for our safety along with their team. The lodges were beautiful and food was great. The hotel in Zanzibar was awesome and it was like we were at a family's home for a Holiday. The only problem was the distance into a shopping area.
The best part of the safari was seeing all the animals and of course, Gilbert our driver. He was so knowledgeable about the animals, land and the culture. He had a wonderful and friendly personality along with his great sense of humor. By the end of the safari we were like a family.
Thank you for the lasting memories of the safari and new friendships formed.
