Knowledgeable and super accommodating! Made my safari perfect- catered to every request!
Godson is very responsive to Facebook messages and email. Even given the time difference, I always had thorough replies to all my inquiries. There was a lot of back and forth so that Godson knew exactly what I was looking for and he perfectly catered my trip to what I wanted. I gave him a list of the animals I hoped to see, the level of accommodation I desired, and he put together a plan. He handled all the bookings, so all I had to worry about was getting there! He even picked me up from my hotel after I finished hiking Kilimanjaro, then finished my trip by dropping me off at the airport.
On safari, Godson's truck is as comfortable as they get (there's a LOT of dust and bumpy roads on safari!) and he was constantly on his radio, working with other guides so we didn't miss any spottings! He was even able to find some baby leopards playing in a tree! Such a special site!
I'd highly recommend booking with Godson for personalized, professional service and a wonderful safari experience!

Absolutely perfect!
We used Godson for safari and hiking Kilimanjaro. Godson was absolutely incredible. Him and his team looked after us so well. For me in particular as I have dietary requirements (coeliac) I was a little nervous but the food was not only safe but really delicious. The whole experience with Godson was very professional and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend Godson for Safari's and hiking, he certainly went above and beyond my expectations.

The ultimate experience- Delivered!
When Kelly and I decided to go on Safari for her birthday, we wanted to find a company where they listened to our desires, provided a great service for a fair price, and truly cared about our experience and the little things. Godson Adventures is that company! As Godson likes to say, “things happen when it’s time”, boy, did things happen each and everyday. We set out with Edric our driver and guide to our first stop, Tarangire National Park. It was outstanding, we saw three cheetah brothers, an elusive leopard, all kinds of wildlife and when the herd of elephants walked up and around our vehicle we were blown away. After that, things only got better. Each day, Edric would ask us what was important to us that day, and always strive to make it happen. The South and Central Serengeti gave us a Cheetah Mom with her two cubs posing in a broken tree, Lions enjoying a wildebeast breakfast with their nine cubs, mongoose and baboon babies, more leopards, and Girraffes everywhere. Zebras and Wildebeasts as far as the eye can see. The Ngorongoro crater gave us three rhinos (wow), and Lake Manyara gave us a beautiful forest with Lions in the trees and Elephants walking right up to us again. For Kelly’s birthday, Godson arranged to have the camp come dancing and singing around us with a cake for her. To say our expectations were exceeded doesn’t come close to the truth. With nature, you can never be sure of anything, but having a company who knows how to setup things up to ensure the best chance of success is paramount. We can’t thank Godson Adventures enough for giving us the trip of a lifetime.

No words can describe it
All started with email exchanges with Godson, who was very quick to answer, calm, patient and precise.
He offered us the best package compared to other safaribooking firms, and was very keen to giving us satisfaction, changing lodge and taking it to his charge.
Once arrived at the airport, we have been picked up by Godson and Shomvi, our golden French-speaking guide, who drove us during 7 days and spotted the unspotable animals in the savane (lions, leopards...) . Shomvi was our best surprise, very (very) kind, always smiling and happy to do his job. He drives very safely and knows every other guides as well as the park routes.
We had a memorable 7 day safari thanks to this team (even a flat tire due to the road was a wonderful experience !).
We recommand them without any doubt.
Hope to see you back very soon guys
Kelly and Mickael

Best experience!!!
We booked a 5-days private safari tour with Godson Adventures and the trip exceeded our expectations in all aspects. The accommodations were outstanding, the food excellent and our tour guide Faraji brilliant. I cannot recommend the company highly enough, they provided the best service from the start. Simply brilliant!
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us!

Fantastic safari experience & excellent service from start to finish
I expected to love the 5-days safari tour in Tansania, but the tour with Godson and his team totally surpassed my expectations! From initial contact and trip preparations through to the day we left, Godson Adventures could not have been more wonderful, attentive and professional.
The lodges were all lovely, the food delicious and the countryside you drive through is unending beauty. But what made the trip so special was having the best guide imaginable: Faraji. An amazing spotter of all types of animals and great company. We would not have seen half so much without him.
We could not fault Godson Adventures in any way, and would highly recommend! An excellent, professional and very knowledgeable company! Thank you all Noel, Godson and Faraji for making this trip extraordinary.

Amazing experience. Reliable to be booked online
We had an amazing experience with the 4-day safari. We found the company here and everything was arranged via email, fluid communication and on arrival everything went perfectly.
Our guide/driver, Faraji, was great. Good guide and a nice person to spend 4 days with. Recommended 100%.

An Excellent Experience
Booking a safari, which for many of us is a once in a lifetime experience, from across the globe with no personal knowledge of the operators, can be a daunting and very important decision to make. Put simply, Godson met all of our expectations and brought forth a very good working knowledge of all of our questions (to which there were many!) We plan on visiting Tanzania again and doing some climbing with Godson and would certainly recommend anyone to his safari services. One thing we didn't realize about the cost is the very large amount he pays in fees to each of the locations we visited, and this put the price into perspective. PS, the best lunch we had all week was made by his wife- have her make more Godson!

Flexible, Accommodating and Extremely Friendly Safari with Godson Kastai - Godson Adventures
Booking the trip of a lifetime - your African Safari - is an exciting and such a unique experience .. not to mention the expense .. that you want to make sure you think of every detail and get it just right. From the moment that we contacted Godson, owner and operator of Godson Adventures, we knew we were in good hands. He answered all questions within a day at most and was very kind to also lend his experience in making suggestions for our plans as we starting arranging a specific itinerary. Truly a private concierge entirely dedicated to making sure our stay in the Serengeti was perfectly suited for us. On our four day, three night safari Godson ensured absolutely all logistics were taken care of in advance so that during our stay we could just enjoy being in the elements and have our attention on enjoying the moment - that means all accommodations and meals paid in advance as well as all entrance fees to the different areas we accessed (not all tour operators do this). Our accommodations all exceeded our expectations - one night at a safari lodge with wonderful views and a pool and two additional nights in a very nice private tented lodge right in the Serengeti. The wildlife was stunning and we got to experience some more rare moments during our short stay - driving up on to a herd of 50+ elephants with no other vehicles around and watching a lioness hunt a zebra made the top of our lists. Lastly, and most memorable of all .. Godson made arrangements for a sunrise hot air balloon safari for our group. After having been to much of the world this tops the list of my favorite experiences I have ever had. Sunrise in Africa is not like anywhere I have seen and watching the movement of the herds of animals as you float through the air in complete silence other than the balloon burners is something magical. This experience added about $600 pp to our trip, but the reason for the expense is the permitting the ballooning companies are required to have to operate within the Serengeti is extremely expensive. In fact, all entrance fees to the parks are all relatively expensive because the National Parks that operate within Tanzania (Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Serengeti) are all 100% funded from the user fees that they collect - a very different model than we have in the U.S.

Godson is friendly, personable, professional and knowledgeable. We have recommended him plenty!
We unfortunately booked through an external agent, which was unnecessary, as Godson easily could’ve sorted it all for us, but I suppose we’d not have met him otherwise!
His English is very good, and he has excellent knowledge of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas, as well as the local vegetation, local tribes & customs, and of course the wildlife.
We had a good laugh with him, all while feeling safe and prioritized. He demonstrates the utmost professionalism and truly made our safari adventure second to none!
