Beware and Save yourself! Gadiel of Good One Tours/Come Africa Safaris is a CON as per our experience
If you value your money, time, and sanity, stay away from Gadiel . Our “dream” safari turned into a 9-day disaster thanks to his lies, last-minute changes, zero communication, and constant demands for more money – even after we paid in full and had a signed itinerary from him.
He skipped destinations everyday, downgraded lodges without warning, delayed payments to lodges, and destroyed the very essence of our safari experience. Tarangire? Skipped. Ngorongoro? Shortened unless we paid extra. Manyara? Never happened. Lodges we paid for? Replaced with substandard options.
Traveling across Africa, Asia, and South America for wildlife, we’ve never encountered such blatant disregard for a customer and theft disguised as “tour operating”. Gadiel gives Tanzanian tourism a bad name and should be banned from the industry. We have all proof of his devilry and are pursuing this with relevant Tanzanian authorities.
Spread the word – don’t let others fall into this trap. The company’s name should have been “WORST ONE TOURS”

Unprofessional and tried intimidating is and threatening us and kept asking us for more money.
BEWARE & SAVE Yourself! Gadiel of Good One Tours a.k.a Come Africa Safaris is not a genuine company
If you value your money, time, and sanity, stay away from Gadiel Nassary. Our “dream” safari turned into a 9-day disaster thanks to his lies, last-minute changes, zero communication, and constant demands for more money – even after we had paid in full with a signed itinerary. He constantly held us for ransom at every point of the trip. All the reviews here are probably fake as he was never true to his word and very unprofessional. He always tried to make our life difficult, knowing that we are helpless when coming from a different country.
He skipped destinations, downgraded lodges without warning, failed to make payments (we were left stranded more than once), and destroyed the very essence of our safari experience. Tarangire? Skipped. Ngorongoro? Shortened unless we paid extra. Manyara? Never happened. Lodges we paid for? Replaced with substandard options.
Gadiel Nassary is a disgrace to Tanzanian tourism and should be banned from the industry. He doesn't understands wildlife and constantly made us wait during the early hours of the safari as he never made the payment beforehand even after we paid all the money.
Spread the word – don’t let others fall into this trap.

Posted on Oct 16, 2025Dear Rishabh,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your safari experience didn't meet your expectations. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points and provide some context regarding the concerns raised.
Firstly, we understand that safari experiences come with high expectations, and we strive to deliver exceptional service to all our guests. However, we recognize that it’s possible there was a misalignment between the experience you hoped for and what was delivered. Communication is something we continuously work on, and we’re sorry if we fell short in this regard.
Regarding the specific points in your review:
Destinations: You did indeed visit Tarangire and Ngorongoro, as per your itinerary. We understand that Ngorongoro has specific time limits for park entry, which could have caused confusion regarding the time spent inside the park. The government regulation limits time to 5 hours within the crater, which we adhered to.
Arusha National Park vs. Manyara: You were offered an alternative visit to Arusha National Park, which we agreed upon after discussing it together. We have messages confirming this agreement.(We would have attached them if Safari Bookings allowed us to)
Lodges and Accommodations: We worked hard to ensure the lodges met the standards agreed upon in your signed itinerary. We are disappointed to hear that you felt the accommodations were not up to par.
Additional Charges: We understand how frustrating unexpected costs can be, and we always aim to be transparent with our pricing. If there were additional charges requested, we apologize for any misunderstanding. Our goal is never to “hold guests ransom,” but we do occasionally need to accommodate unforeseen changes or requirements.
We truly value your feedback and would love the chance to understand more about where we could have improved. It is never our intention to mislead or disappoint our clients, and we sincerely hope that you will reconsider the overall experience, which, despite these challenges, still included some of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife areas.
Best regards,
Gadiel Nassary
