wonderful safari
My husband and I spent a wonderful 4 days in Tanzania. We planned 1 day Kilimanjaro trekking and 3 days safari. I sent my request to so many safari tour operator and at the end I had 3 left in the basket to choose from. Finally, I choosed Earthlife and I am happy I did. They had the best price for great value. Best in communication, best understanding on details which were important for me. Our guide/driver, Moison was just a great guy. He explained a lot about the animals, history...he even sang to us in Swahili when we asked him. We slept every night different places. Accommodations were just perfect, food was perfect. During the whole trip we felt the care of Deo, who runs this company..and he booked our ticket to Zanzibar and came to the airport to figure how was our safari. So much care, so much attention, reliable, trustworthy.. they made our holiday perfect and unforgettable. Thank you, Earthlife.

Great day trip to Ngorongoro Crater!
We had a 12-hour trip to the Ngorongoro National Park and it was the best day out of our 2.5 week tour (covering three countries and including other game drives). The owners of the company met us the day before to go over our trip and make sure they covered what we wanted to see, and we were picked up and delivered back to our hotel at exactly the times promised. Our guide was great - gave us a lot of information on the drive to the park, and had been there many times so knew exactly where to go to see the animals we hadn't seen before. If I'm able to come back to Tanzania for a safari with my family, I will be coming to Tanzania and Earthlife will be the first arrangement I make! Thanks for a fantastic trip.
Knowledgeable, very accommodating, customized tour and a very nice guide
An amazing experience that I lived with 2 friends. We organized it directly with Deo and customized our trip according to our budget and time available. Deo is very knowledgeable about the earth life, he knows what he is doing and enjoys doing it. I can understand that considering the environments we saw. Really an amazing experience that Deo made so easy for us by planning every thing, telling us good advices and bringing his joy to the trip. We saw so many animals and beautiful landscape.
Really a great safari company and a great team.

Professional - Extremely Knowledgable - Customer Service Oriented
This was the trip of a lifetime for us and I can not imagine anyone that could have done as much for us as Deo and Earthlife did. We customized our tour to maximize viewing and minimalize lounging by leaving the hotel at sun up and not returning until sundown every day. He helped us plan each day's activities and not only was he ready and excited to get under way, but our lunches and drinks were packed, the safari vehicle was prepped, and the arrangements for passes or other day trip requirements were already completed.
I did a great deal of research before booking with Earthlife because, as I said, this was a trip of a lifetime. People talk about going on safari and seeing the "big five". We not only saw the "big five" time and time again, but we saw and experienced so much more. This trip surpassed anything I ever expected and we owe it all to Deo.
Deo is extremely personable, well educated and conversant in several languages. Wherever we went, he was well known and it was obvious he was well respected by everyone we came into contact with - the hotel staff, other tour operators and guides, the Maasai and locals. His knowledge of the wildlife, terrain, foliage and history was nothing short of incredible. Deo is a guy that loves his job, loves people and it shows in everything he does. And, he has amazing eyesight and taught us how to search long distances for wildlife.

Amazing and very experienced
This Safari was amazing! Every attention was paid to every detail. Paul, our guide was amazing. He was so experienced, and he found all of the big five for us. Paul became our friend and we miss him now that the Safari is over. He gave us so much information above and beyond what we expected. Inno, the sales manager, even helped us as we traveled onto our next destination (Zanzibar). We highly recommend Earthlife expeditions. Definitely 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Worth Every Penny
Our honeymoon trip to Tanzania was amazing. Two weeks split between national parks & Zanzibar gave us a nice mix of adventure and relaxation. Herman Kiriama was our guide for the safari portion. He was extremely knowledgable (wildlife experience), accommodating, and easy to get along with. My wife & I highly recommend Herman! We saw all of the big cats and one rhino from a distance (+LOTS of other wildlife). We went snorkeling on Zanzibar and saw a lot of sea creatures. The food was good- there were US/UK options and Tanzanian-inspired dishes. Lodging was excellent. The money transaction process was easy enough. I highly recommend you consider Earthlife Expeditions.

Trip of a lifetime!
We had the pleasure to book our safari with earthlife expeditions for our honeymoon. Our trip was customized to our needs by Angel. She was so quick to respond and made sure everything met our expectations. Arriving in Tanzania we met Joseph, he is THE BEST. We had such a fantastic time. Joseph is very knowledgeable and made sure we were always comfortable. All our accommodations were beautiful. We arrived in Kilimanjaro, drove to Arusha and started our safari the next day with Tarangire National park. We then did a day and night game drive in Lake Manyara, followed by 3 days in the Serengeti, then finally the Ngorongoro crater. We ended our trip in Zanzibar (Nungwi - beautiful beaches). We can't thank earthlife enough for making this trip so memorable. We are planning to be back in Tanzania and will definitely book with them again!

Fantastic Safari with Earthlife
I have just returned from Tanzania after an amazing safari. I travelled in a group of 16 with 4 jeeps. The itinerary, accomodation and all organisation had been done on behalf of us by our leader in conjunction with Earthlife and couldn't be faulted.
I would like to comment on our 4 drivers, Junior, Jeff, Kelvin & Daniel. They were all excellent drivers, the jeeps were always clean, they had an amazing knowledge of animals and culture, an incredible ability to spot animals hiding and always had us in the perfect spot for photos. We were lucky enough to see 2 crossings of wildebeest - what an experience - and the positioning of the jeeps was incredible. They were warm, friendly, kind, never tired of answering our questions, and with a great sense of humour. Thank you for generously sharing your amazing country with us. The four of you are a credit to Tanzania and to Earthlife.
Best wishes

Surpassed all of my expectations!
Clear communication, quick responses, safety, quality of lodging, excellent food, and knowledgable staff allowed us to enjoy the beauty of Tanzania in a most comfortable and enjoyable way!! Thank you Earthlife, Caudence, who handled our arrangements, and thank you Kessi, you are now a good friend! There are many tour companies in Tanzania. I requested quotes and narrowed it down by quick response, clear itineraries, nice lodging, and price. The quick communication that we received from Earthlife, as well as their assurance that this was OUR vacation and that they would make any changes that we wanted, convinced us to go with them. They swapped out a park for us, added a tour that we wanted, switched the dates, shortened one part of our visit, added another traveler. All inquiries were quickly answered. We were never left waiting or wondering. We were able to email and talk via WhatsApp to the company. Once we arrived, we were picked up at the airport and we were taken care of for our entire trip! Our guide, Kessi, took his job very seriously. He assured us that whatever we needed or wanted, he was there for us. Kessi is so knowledgable about all of the animals and birds. He could spot things before we would ever see them with our binoculars. He shared lots about the history of Tanzania and taught us Swahili and even sang with us! We joked and laughed a lot on this trip! It replenished my soul! So much natural beauty and friendly people happy to share their culture with us. Kessi assisted us when we wanted to purchase souvenirs, so that we could visit places with good prices and he helped us so that we would not be too bothered by people trying to sell us things. He would give us the facts we needed to behave in culturally appropriate ways. In addition, Kessi is a very good driver. I always felt safe. The drivers have to really concentrate on some of the rough roads and he was very focused to assure a good ride. He made it clear that we could see some good things if we were patient to wait. We had some experiences where other vehicles left and we got a good show! In summary, this was a trip of a lifetime and I would absolutely, undoubtedly recommend Earthlife Expeditions!

Excellent Driver & Vehicle, Good Accommodation & Food
One word I can say is very good just what we wanted. Driver Abu is very knowledgeable, comfortable drive, very good accommodation, only complain first two days pack lunch at Arusha was sub standard. Little bit of lack of coordination airport pickup at Zanzibar.
Otherwise everything we(I, my wife and my son & daughter both are in 20's)are very please with Deo's service and I can recommend any of my friends & family if anybody wants to visit Serengeti.
