We had a mind blowing four day adventure with our guide Issa. His expert navigation and knowledge of the animals of the Serengeti led to incredible viewing opportunities. That included getting caught in the middle of a massive wildebeest stampede. Thanks also to Consea and Davina for setting up the trip!!!! The lodges they selected were superb.

By Michael D for 4 DAYS TANZANIA BIG FIVE SAFARI on Mar 26, 2025

The entire experience was amazing! I cannot thank Good Earth Expeditions enough for a safe and rewarding trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. All of the Guides and porters are so kind and friendly. Good Earth also gave us an unforgettable and incredible Safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Parks. What an experience! I cannot recommend them enough.

By Jonathan T for 16 DAYS - TAHOE SPECIAL TRAVEL- KILIMANJARO CLIMB & SAFARI on Sep 26, 2023

The trip was magical for our family of four with two teens that joined a larger group that had just climbed Kilimanjaro. This trip should be at the top of everyone’s list. We saw the big five and many other animals, often very close to our safari trucks, including lions and elephants. The scenery and wildlife often left us stunned. The animals were often so close that all we needed was our iPhones to get crisp amazing pics. Our drivers were extremely dedicated and professional and Consea had a sharp eye and lots of knowledge, so we also saw a cheetah and leopard. Every place we stayed was amazing for service and often for scenery. At Burungi Lodge we had breakfast as more than 20 elephants gathered nearby in view from our deck, under a glowing sunrise. It was jaw-dropping. Safaris in Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater were out of this world, but every safari day was great. The road dust in the Serengeti was the only challenge, but it cannot be avoided, and seeing about a dozen lions on our first day of Safari there definitely made up for that. After several days of Safari trips, we also visited tribes, another profound experience. We also toured the farms, town and market of Mto Wa Mbu, also unforgettable. This is the best trip of our lifetime so far and the only comparison I can think of is the Galapagos islands, something my wife and I were also lucky to experience about 20 years ago. There, we were also mesmerized by the close-up wildlife, but the islands lacked the deep cultural experience that we have had here in Tanzania.

By Gayle M for 10 DAYS TANZANIA TOP SAFARI / MARBAN'S SPECIAL on Jul 20, 2023

I could not have dreamed up a better experience. Tumaini and Abby were incredible guides on the mountain. I ended up getting sick for two of the days and I felt incredibly safe and well taken care of. They asked the right questions to ensure my safety and did not stress me out any more than needed. I can honestly say I would not have made it to the top without their knowledge, confidence, and comfort. The chef, Jared cooked three INCREDIBLE meals per day. When I say incredible, I'm talking fried chicken with fries and pizza with fresh veggies. There was a delicious soup at each meal that became out favorite. The views through the whole lemosho route were stunning and fun to see so much as you are changing climates. The porters were incredibly kind and STRONG! Our safari guide, Assa was extremely knowledgeable. He knew everything we wanted to learn and more. During a two-day safari we were able to see the big 5! Incredible experience. Nothing like seeing a lion proudly walk down the path after making two kills... We felt well taken care of by Davine and she quickly became family. She has a beautiful heart and is very knowledgeable and nice to talk to. I went looking for a life changing experience in Tanzania and found that and more. I highly recommend GoodEarth.

By Hannah T for 14 DAYS MT. KILIMANJARO / LEMOSHO ROUTE + SHORT SAFARI on Nov 06, 2022

Oh Tanzania you stole our hearts. Trip of a lifetime. We climbed Kilimanjaro, went on a 3 day safari, and spent 5 days on Zanzibar. Every minute of the trip exceeded our expectations. The Good Earth Staff left nothing to chance, every detail was planned to perfection! Devine our coordinator was incredible. Very responsive 24/7. From airport transfers, to dinners out, to taking care of our laundry on a Sunday… She did it all. Our Guides (Tumaini, Abby, and Iisha) were simply amazing. Our experience and safety was always their main concern. Thank you so much for sharing your country and culture with us. And the porters on the climb! Wow, what a group of friendly hardworking people. It was a honor to spend a week with each of them. I cannot recommend Good Earth enough. Do not hesitate using this operation for your Tanzania adventure. We will cherish our memories always.
