Just perfect
We spent 10 days with Godson travelling through Serengeti, Lake Eyasi, lake Manyara, lake Natron. Godson has all the quality of a good guide with the little plus which gives you the feeling that Tanzania is actually your family.
Flexible, good English, reliable definitely willing to help in case of unscheduled incident (supported me a lot for my luggage lost by the airlines) and able to provide fascinating explanation on many topic with a good sense of humor.
I definitely recommend him.
Enjoy your trip in Tanzania !!!

Richard deserves a ten star rating, he made our Uganda trip the best memory ever.
My family recently visited Uganda for the first time. We were very, very fortunate to have Richard for a tour guide. I can't say enough good things about Richard. He sent the schedule for the trip and he had organized it to perfection. Richard was so much fun to be with. He was always happy, laughing, sharing his knowledge with us. He is very punctual, he was never late. He is an excellent driver, as it is not easy to drive in Uganda. Also, he is very patient, we were always asking him to stop so we could take photos. He would make lots of long stops so we could just enjoy taking everything in. He's very kind and respectful, at one point he even made personal calls for me because of a lodge booking problem.
His safaris to Murchinson Falls and Queen Elizabeth were perfect. We saw elephants, lions, leopard, chimps, giraffes, water buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, and many more and all kinds of birds. Richard is the only person I would want as a tour guide in Africa.

An adventure of a lifetime!
Mamaland Safaris was thourough ans speedy when communicating with me. They were wonderful to work with. The safari itself was incredible. Our guide, Obed, was so knowledgeable and he had an eagle eye for spotting the animals. My sons and I loved every minute of the trip.

With Meru Slopes dreams come true
We booked a budget six-day safari with the Meru Slopes company, which included Tarangire NP, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara.
The whole tour was perfectly organized, and we highly recommend the Meru Slopes team to all of you who are interested in experiencing fantastic adventures! All the arrangements for the trip were made, and what Geofrey had promised was fulfilled.
Our guide was Benson, an amazing and knowledgeable guy, who is also an excellent driver. He told us a lot about Tanzania's flora and fauna, and shared with us some very interesting information what life looks like in his country. The two nights spent in the heart of Serengeti, when 4 giraffes visited our campsite, were simply unforgettable.
As for the food, it was unbelievably delicious, and all the meals that Richard (our chef) prepared made us crave for more:).
To sum up, the Meru Slopes made our dreams come true, so we would like to warmly thank the whole team (and our co-travellers) for all they have done for us!!! Asante sana, Benson, Richard, Emanuel, and Geofrey!

My seven-day tour was incredible.
My first interactions with Gorilla Tours were very easy. They communicated clearly and gave me a full itinerary of my trip. My guide Charles picked me up from my hotel and was great for the full duration of the trip. He really made the entire experience great. I went on a seven-day drip and saw four national parks, including Bwindi. Seeing the gorillas was the highlight of my trip, but the rest of the experiences were great as well.

Exploring the Beauty of Uganda
We worked with Chris at Encounter Africa. He responded immediately to our initial request for information, listened carefully to our interests, suggested supplemental activities, and designed our final itinerary that exceeded our expectations. In the planning stages, Chris was extremely responsive to our questions, often replying to emails within an hour. When needed, he offered several options to address our concerns. In the end, we had a customized itinerary that showcased the beauty of Uganda. Our tour guides/drivers (Martin and Tolbert) were professional, informed, and friendly, and made decisions that optimized our experiences. For example, when observing the chimps in Kabale, rather than attempting to join early morning trekking groups, they suggested we wait and join the late morning/early afternoon groups; as a result, we were able to see the chimps on the ground (as opposed to in the trees) and to spend time with them up close. In another instance, Martin and Tolbert located and drove us to observe a few lions. When we arrived, there were close to a dozen other vehicles there with visitors enjoying the view. It was amazing and after a bit, the other cars left, but Martin and Tolbert stayed sensing that something might happen. They were right; the "few" lions ended up being an entire pride of around 10 lions (including cubs), and they were stalking a nearby group of water buffalo. The ensuing encounter was exciting and unforgettable. We enjoyed other adventures (e.g., mountain gorillas, white water rafting on the Nile), and by the end of our 12 days on the road, Martin and Tolbert were like family.

10 days trip for Kenya & Tanzania
Jacqueline is very helpful, she gave us many good advices to arrange this 10 days safari trip. She even help to arrange the additional boarder crossing for my parents. We are very lucky to find them to be our safari agent. Our 10 days safari trip was amazing, we saw not only the Africa big 5, but also the black rhino, which is very rarely to be seen.
I really recommend the safari tour with Brush troop and Jacqueline.

Good Earth provided exactly the type safari we sought and we had an amazing and wonderful experience
My husband, grandson and I wanted to use a local company for our Tanzanian safari and after researching options on Trip Advisor, we settled on Good Earth Tours and Safaris. I’m grateful that we did. Good Earth provided exactly the type of safari we sought and we had a most amazing and wonderful experience. We were able to completely customize our itinerary, so we stayed exactly the amount of time we wished in each of the four national parks we visited and were able to choose our accommodations in each of the locations (2 tented camps and 2 lodges). Our stellar guide/driver was perfect – professional, experienced, reliable and hospitable. The four of us in his Land Cruiser were a team for the duration of the safari, he handled everything perfectly and his knowledge was truly encyclopedic. Our grandson commented more than once that we never asked him a question that he didn’t know the answer. He always guided us to terrific photo locations and arranged the schedule so that we were there at the right time for the best light. The beautiful trip pictures we have are in large part because of him. Our trip truly was perfect for us and our gratitude is boundless to all the Good Earth staff involved with it. This experience always will be one of the jewels in our travel crown.
I enjoyed my tour
Very nice..Mwamba Tours was following up to know we arrived safely...I did like their customer service.
