An amazing 3-day safari trip
Just finished a 3-day safari trip, now let's write about our true feelings about this journey. Firstly, regarding the consultation before the trip, Gadiel from Good One Tours answered my questions about safari very professionally and patiently, providing corresponding solutions. After we arrived in Arusha, he also thoughtfully arranged for a driver to pick us up. The driver who picked us up at the airport is Alinice, who is a very responsible person. Before safari, he waited for us at the airport on time and delivered us to the hotel. After finishing the Safari, he helped us arrange a vehicle to Moshi and recorded the driver's contact information to ensure that we could arrive smoothly. Rockie, ourdriver and guide during the safari, has been driving us for three days to search for various representative animals on the African continent. His explanations are enthusiastic and he has shared a lot of knowledge. As the chef, Juma prepares delicious food for every meal, which is a time-consuming but particularly important task, ensuring that everyone has sufficient energy during the Safari process. Everyone works diligently and is responsible to us, leaving a good impression of Tanzania on us. Without a doubt, their work deserves respect. Of course, I expressed my gratitude to them in my own way. The Chinese people and the African people are good friends forever! Thank you again!

Exceptional experience!
Our safari experience was fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable about the animals and their lives, always explaining things in detail. The safari truck was clean and comfortable. We also appreciated communication throughout the reservation process. Gadiel’s morning check-in call before our tour started was a nice. Overall, it was an exceptional experience!

Amazing
Went on a 3-day safari trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro on a group trip. Very nice experience and well organized trip, especially considering the amount you pay! Got to see many animals Gadiel communicated very well with me for the transfers and hotel arrangements. And when there was a misunderstanding about accommodation once he immediately arranged another hotel and direct transfer. If you're looking for a nice Serengeti trip but are somewhat on a Budget I would really recommend booking with GoodOneTours.

Amazing experience
2 friends an I went for a 4 days safari with Good one Tours to Mikumi and Selous Park. Our guide, Juma was the best we could imagine. He did everything to make our safari incredible, comfortable and magical. We saw all the animals possible thanks to his perfect knowledge of the parks and the animals. He was very attentive both to our comfort and to explain the animal world to us. The lodges and the meals were perfect! Thanks again for the experience. We recommend 1000%.

Amazing experience
We went on 6-day group camping safari with Good One Tours, it was an amazing experience. We were blown away by the sunset in the Serengeti. The views at Ngorongoro Crater were just as incredible, and we saw so many animals up close, including lions, elephants, and zebras. The camping was comfortable, and our guide made sure we had everything we needed while helping us spot a huge variety of wildlife. Gadiel was responsive and resourceful We recommend Good One Tours for anyone looking for a great camping safari.

Unforgettable and amazing
We booked with Robinson and had Juma as our host in the day of safari. Booking was straightforward and instructions were clear, all aspects of the trip were well organized. Robinson was an amazing host, very knowledgeable and a great driver. He also dealt with our lost luggage and arranged for its return to us. We had the most amazing day and were so impressed with his skills- he spotted a sleeping hyena under bushes! Highly highly recommended!

best and worst of safari
Safari is great, parks are amazing and animals fantistic. We get to see all big five. Good one tour guys are good and avaible, Gadiel, Abraham, Elii got to make us feel good in every situation. During safari we change guide, the first one (Abraham) was really good, but the second (who drove us through serengeti and ngorongoro, the two main park) was not a guide but just a driver. Durimg safari you will see buches of cars getting auperclose to a lioness with cubs or going offroad to get out of huge group if jeeps that get close to see a leopard very far, so the guide would make a huge difference to not make you feeel like you are just a spoiled white human who want to make a picture. overall was a lifechanging experience, and good one tour is really looking after clients agency

Amazing safari
Goodone tours helped us organising everything about our safari. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Park. Despite the second guide who was with us the last 3 days was very unkind and not prepared, our first guide was excellent and the experience was amazing. Recommended but you should ask for having good guides before. All the people from goodone tours were amazing, kind and available.
