About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- J5436CNbethb0 contributionsTrip Of A Lifetime !My daughter had been toTanzania before on a tour with Mr.Godson and convinced me that this would be an unforgettable trip. She was right! What a trip of a lifetime. Mr.Godson was exceptionali n his knowledge and expertise in all of the places we went. Our food and lodging were wonderful, especially his homemade lunches, and he made sure we had whatever we needed. I can not describe how beautiful the crater is, ever since I learned about it in Geology class, I wanted to see it. It felt like we were on a different planet with all the animals that we saw intheir habitat. I would encourage you to contact Mr.Godson to have an extraodinary trip.Written March 28, 2024
- leahe8980 contributionsGo with Godson!My family of 5 (including 3 kids ages 13, 13 and 10) did a 5-day safari with Godson. There aren’t enough stars in the sky to rate our review highly enough. He was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and abundantly kind and thoughtful. He could spot everything! We were blown away by the sheer number of animals and landscapes he packed into our days. Our accommodations were super comfortable and the food was delicious. Sharing meals with him was a highlight as our kids quizzed him about anything from politics to elephants. He’s also completely Tanzanian owned and operated!Written June 9, 2023
- julezfk0 contributions4 days Safari with Godson and ChiliWe did 4 days of Safari with Godson as our personal guide. He showed us the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We had such a good time. Because of his expertise we had some incredible animal spots (i.e. a Cheetah jumping on our car) and we learned a lot about the animals and the landscape. Beyond his expertise, Gordon is a very friendly and funny guy, who cares a lot about your safety and well-being. The safari was very well organized and Godson considered all of our personal favors. Chili, the Chef, joined us for the trip and made sure that we were never hungry at all. 1 breakfast and 2 freshly cooked hot meals every day put a smile on our face. We had a really really good time, would recommend anytime! Greetings from Germany Max, Leo and JulianWritten March 21, 2023
- I8229DCsvens0 contributionsSafari Tarangire and NgorongoroVery nice Safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Godson is an excellent guide. It wasn't our first trip with him and won't be the last. Always perfect. Asante Sana. Sven from GermanyWritten March 16, 2023
- roselyh5940 contributionsGreat!On the safari I really liked to stand on the seat in the front. It was great! We saw so many wild animals. He also listened to our requests, for example when we said stop to take a picture or to go somewhere we really wanted to see.Written March 16, 2023
- jettewitt0 contributionsSafariIt was a great expirience. The guide was great and lead us to every possible place in the Tarangire Narionalpark and Ngorongoro Crater. Very happy to have been here!Written March 16, 2023
- F1408HSjanak0 contributionsSafari tripI’ve experienced safari trip with Godson. We went through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it was just fabulous! Godson is great guide and awesome person as well, it’s fun with him, he took care about us and explained us everything we asked him. The food was delicious, he’s always carrying a picnic basket with him full of tasty Tanzanian meals. We saw plenty of wild animals and experienced real “Godson adventure”. He’s the best choice if you want to go to safari in Tanzania!Written March 18, 2021
- uncle_kloucek0 contributionsSafari tripWe enjoyed safari trip with Godson. Visited Tarangire, Ngoro Ngoro and Serengety. It was unforgetable experience! Godson is great guide, he organised everything into detail, he was very friendly, helpfull and pleasant to us all the time. Most time we felt like in luxury all-inclusive hotel! I highly reccomend booking this trip.Written March 3, 2021
- 684leannee0 contributionsKilimanjaro Trek - Machame Route - December 2019My fiance and I completed a 6 day trek up Kilimanjaro with Godson Adventures (Machame route). I cannot say enough amazing things about Godson and his team. Godson was available by phone or Whatsapp to answer any questions, and was very accommodating when we needed to postpone our trip by a week. The crew that Godson organized for us ("Kili Fighters") were fast, strong, and always had a smile on their faces. They made sure we were fed, sheltered, and well-equipped every day. Our chef served us delicious meals and was able to accommodate my need for a gluten-free menu. Our guides Alex and Efata were personable and compassionate. I really appreciated their knowledge, sense of humour, and great conversations. They made sure we were healthy and always ready for the next day. We were fast hikers, so we decided to hike from Baranco camp to the summit in one day. This made the summit particularly challenging. However, with the support and super-human energy of Alex and Efata, we successfully made it to the top and down again safely and victoriously! Godson even organized a surprise champagne celebration for us as the bottom. We thought this was such a kind and thoughtful gesture, and really exemplified the kind of care and personal attentive that Godson gives to his clients. If are looking for an incredible, locally-owned and operated company to plan your Tanzania adventure, then Godson Adventures is the best choice!!! We are already excited to climb Meru with Godson next year!Written December 8, 2019
- IsabelWF0 contributionsAbsolutly perfect!!100% experience. I have issues with lactose and it was a concern for me but they adapted all menus for me, thank you so much! They also took care of accommodations during game drive and adapted it all to our 4 days agenda. They picked us up at the airport to take us to our hotel, my friend and I were arriving at different time so many would have said no. On the next day they picked us up to start the adventure. On the first day, Faraji showed us the Tangerine where we almost saw a leopard (we sae the tail) he made all he could to get us see it all but was not possible, although we had a good day with elephants, zebras, giraffes... Second day they took us to Serengeti for the next two days. Here the magic started the first minute, lion, zebra, wildebeest and... cheetah , we never saw another cheetah again. Since all guides are in touch using the radio Faraji was announced the presence of a leopard, despite the road not being on the best conditions due to the rain he drove us there and well... see the picture attached. Also a group of lions were about and there we went! We couldn’t have asked for a better driver and guide, for sure he knows what he is doing. The fourth and last day we went to Ngorogoro there we got to see from far a black rhino... amazing. When I come back I will for sure choose them again.Written December 3, 2019
- jo3box3r0 contributionsFantastic ! Serengeti Safari and Mafia IslandGodson and the team are excellent. We received his details from my friend Kiril. Godson lives in Tanzania and has been doing safari and kilimanjaro tours for many years. Our itinerary was perfect as we did 6 days from Arusha to the Serengeti and 4 days in Mafia. We will be back! Thanks Godson for the wonderful experience and memories. Joe and AnnabelleWritten November 10, 2019
- SmallWorld230 contributionsAmazing experience with Godson AdventuresWe used Godson Adventures for a 6-day safari. It was a seamless experience - we had never been to Tanzania before and did not know what to expect, but Godson and his team made the whole experience incredible. What you will get: - Service that is above and beyond: We got personal responses from Godson to every single question within minutes - we had many questions leading up to our trip and Godson responded via WhatsApp right away. I am not sure you could get this level of personalised service with some of the other bigger tour operators. In addition, Godson gave us travel tips to Mafia Island (not on our tour with him) and helped us book our flights there (again out of the scope of our safari but he went above and beyond every time) - Detailed, well thought-through itinerary based on your preferences - Top-notch accommodation and food options. Clearly they have been working there for decades and know where the best places are. I am really picky and this completely met my expectations - Unforgettable safari experience - saw all of the big 5 and more. - Flexibility, kindness and patience I would absolutely recommend Godson Adventures to anyone looking for a safari in Tanzania. This for us was a once in a lifetime experience and we are really glad we chose Godson Adventures!Written November 5, 2019
- HayatR000 contributionsPrivate SafariWe had a wonderful time in Tanzania thanks to Godson and Faraji. The communication with Godson by email was excellent. He responded very quickly on every emails and helped us a lot with all the questions. Accommodations and food was very good. Faraji, a very good driver, was absolutely nice and tried to show us everything that was possible. Faraji is a real recommendation for the safari. We saw a lot of animals from nearby, that was amazing! Godson and Faraji thanks a lot for a really perfect vacation.Written October 20, 2019
- hidenoriuchinuno0 contributionsSerengeti Safari and Kilimanjaro climbGodson Adventures is a great tour company!! Godson himself picked us up from the airport and made sure we had a great time in Tanzania. All the safaris we went on were guided by our local expert Faraj! Best safari guide in Tanzania!! We sighted countless amount of animals; cheetahs, lions, gazelles, hippos and giraffes to name a few. Our Kili climb was led by a group of 7 kili fighters and 2 guides Alex and Efarta. The guys were very professional, hospitable and patient! Baraka our food manager was full of laughs and always helpful. We encountered some rain in the first 2 days but the guys made sure we were warm and comfortable at all times. Thank you Godson for an unforgettable trip!Written October 19, 2019
- Frankymiel0 contributionsProfessional, caring and trustworthy Would 100% recommend!A friend and I recently used Godson Adventures on our trip to Tanzania to do a 4 day safari and 7 day kilimanjaro trek. The 4 day safari, was amazing visited Taragine, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti. Godson had organised top class accommodation we couldn't believe we were in the wild. Don't even worry about the food, there is plenty available. Also the car was really comfortable and didn't have to worry about a thing except count how many animals we saw. The Kilimanjaro trek. What an experience and all thanks to Godson's team of 9 kili warriors who guided my friend and I. His team come from the same place and you could see the camaraderie they showed and extended it to us. The mountain knowledge of Alex and Efeta the main guides were so informative and detailed it was a true educational experience. They really helped me through everyday by checking my health, see if I've eaten enough and set a positive mindset for the day ahead. Alex and Efeta were real professionals, relatable, comforting and we enjoyed their company everyday. We were lucky to have them as our guides. Alex and Efeta thank you. The food, hot breakfasts, 3 course hot meals and lunch boxes is what you will expect during the trek. You will not starve during the hike and it will make you ready for everyday. Baraka, was the guy organising this, a really funny dude and a positive influence. I will walk away from Tanzania knowing that the people are kind, positive, hard working and have a love for their country that is true and honest. Godson thank you for our experience and I will 100% recommend you to anyone I know travelling to beautiful Tanzania.Written October 13, 2019

Godson was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Arusha. I did a 6 night, 7 day Kilimanjaro trek on the Lemosho route with Godson adventures. I could not have wished for a better experience. The trek is truly spectacular, even more so when you basically have the mountain to yourself! Godson was able to organize the trek at very short notice for a very reasonable price, and there were no hiccups whatsoever. My guide, Alex, was fantastic. He regularly pointed out animals and plants on the trail and answered every question I had. He has a wealth of experience on the mountain and I felt very lucky to have him. He clearly loves being on the mountain, which was great to see! Godson and Alex took safety on the mountain seriously with oxygen and heart rate readings every night, which should put you at ease, even if you have no previous climbing experience like me. On the summit night, he was integral in me reaching the top as well. The rest of the team was also awesome - as Godson assured me before starting, “The boys are good!”. Enoch, the cook, served up tasty meals which were far better than I was expecting. The Kili fighters (porters) were also golden. They always beat me to the camp and had the tents set up promptly. They were constantly enthusiastic and chatty. Esmail, in particular, starred by twice repairing my dodgy mountain boots! I would book with Godson again in a heartbeat - the service is first class but at a very reasonable price point and he’ll get you up the mountain light

Wow, where to start! My sister and I were recommended to Godson Adventures by another couple who had just come back from safari with Plains2Peaks and it was an excellent experience to say the least. Godson worked with us on providing different pricing option to stay within our budget. We ended up doing a 5 night, 6 day camping safari with Audrick as our guide and Damian as our cook. Audrick was an amazing guide with 20 years of experience and was able to spot animals that we may not have seen otherwise and always had a knowledgeable answer for any question we had. Going during a time when there were not as many safaris going on due to the pandemic meant there was less chatter on the radio between guides. This didn’t seem to hinder Audrick’s expertise, in fact we felt that it made the experience more unique! One of the highlights was being able to see the “big five” all in one day which is extremely rare and we were all excited to be a part of that experience. Damian, our cook, made excellent breakfasts, boxed lunches, and dinners. His leak soup was excellent and a favorite between my sister and me. Their good natured, fun loving personalities added to our experience ten fold. You can tell that they love their job and enjoy working together. We highly recommend Godson Adventures for an amazing safari experience and, if you can, request both Audrick and Damian if they are available!

We did the hike up Mount Meru and a 7 day safari with Godson and his team. We were completely satisfied and can only recommend Godson to everyone! He was also recommended to us and it was definitely the right decision to do the two tours with him. The communication with Godson before the trip went smoothly. He listened to our wishes and put together an individual tour for us. And also our questions he has always answered very reliably and very quickly. We decided for a private safari in tented lodges and would do it exactly the same way again. Godson arranged the accommodations for us and we could not have done better. The lodges were all very clean, the food was great and the staff was very friendly. The accommodation in the Serengeti was especially nice. The location of the tented lodge was gorgeous and you could see the sunrise from your bed! On the safari godson could tell us a lot of background information about the animals and the vegetation in the individual parks. It was really interesting and we could see a lot of animals thanks to his years of experience. The English of godson is really very good. Therefore, the communication was really nice and we learned a lot about the country and animals. Overall it was a wonderful adventure!
The hike on Mount Meru was unforgettable and highly recommended, not least because of our very competent team from Godson. Our guide Alex led us safely to the summit and was able to answer all our questions. Overall, we felt very well taken care of. Great care was taken to ensure that we could acclimatize well and create the best conditions to reach the summit. Once we reached the summit, we were rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise. The food, freshly prepared by our chef every day 3 times a day, was delicious. On the climb we saw many animals. This also made the day of the descent a special day.
Overall, my boyfriend and I can highly recommend Godson Adventure because we didn't feel like we were one client of many, but the tour was perfectly tailored to our individual desires and we had a memorable trip. Godson is very authentic and you can just tell that he enjoys his work and has a very profound knowledge! On the safari and also on the hike it is mostly so that you eat dinner together with the guide. That's why it's really very good to get along and have a good conversation. And so it was with us in any case. We had really good conversations and could learn so many things in general about life in Africa. It was always very entertaining and informative at the same time. Godson is simply a very likeable person and chooses his team accordingly well!

My fiancé and I recently completed a 7 day / 6 night safari tour including Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara Parks/Conservancy areas + a visit to Oldupai and the Shifting Sands. From start to finish the entire experience was incredible and unforgettable. Godson, Edrick, and Damian were amazing and incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We spent most of our days doing game drives and we were able to see the “big five” + 69 cats including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and the serval cat. Several of the large animal encounters were quite close and very exciting. We camped at Jambo, Simba, and Nyani campsites during the safari tour. Damian, our cook, made excellent food and we were always stuffed at the end of our meals. We experienced 1 flat tire in Ngorongoro which was fixed in under 30 minutes, and 1 vehicle malfunction towards the end of the trip which was handled professionally and didn’t impact our remaining game drive, so no time lost! Overall we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Godson Adventures for Safari tours in Tanzania! We are very happy that we chose this company for the experience.

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.

Our family of 3 persons made a 3-day individual tour in the beginning of March 2022. A 3-day programme combining 2 days of safari with a day trip to Kilimanjaro attracted our attention as we were looking for a tour with varied activities. As we discussed the details of the tour by phone, Godson made an impression of a professional and experienced guide. Meeting us at the airport and bringing us to the airport after the tour was a real added value.
All the three days were well organised and managed. Each day Godson was punctual, friendly, with positive energy and a good approach to our child. He was flexible and open for the adjustments of the trip. While driving to the destinations, Godson answered a plenty of our questions and introduced us the social, ethnical, cultural and economic life of Tanzania. Godson is very dedicated, well informed and has expert knowledge about the animals, birds and plants of the national parks.
The lunch boxes were tasty and sufficient. The first lodge hotel during the safari was a real highlight. It is located in the picturesque valley, has nice bungalows, a pool, beautiful plants, decorated restaurant with delicious meals and friendly personnel. The second lodge in the city of Arusha was less attractive but sufficient for 1 night. During the first two days we visited the parks Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Godson did his best to catch the most interesting views and scenes. In the third day we drove up to about 3400m by jeep and walked about 6km up to 3610m on Kilimanjaro. We could observe the changing vegetation while hiking upwards and enjoyed the magnificent view of the mountain.
If we would do a safari next time in Tanzania, we would do it definitely again with Godson and would also recommend him to our friends.

Godson has eyes like a hawk. He could spot animals anywhere they were hiding. Fortunately he has binoculars in his safari vehicle for us who could not see so well. We had Godson himself take us to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, a 4 night 5 day trip. We saw every type of animal, it was awesome! With the endless plains of the Serengeti I found the perspective difficult to comprehend with elephants looking like tiny pigs in the distance as they were further away than they seemed, but coming closer at an elephant pace which is surprisingly quick. We stayed in camp sites which gave us the experience of the great outdoors and view of the dark and bright starry night sky, but with comforts like a toilet and shower block. Godson brought with him a cook called Chilli and we ate 3 fantastic huge meals a day, with Chilli catering additionally to my dietary requirements. The unmade roads through the reservations though ensured our bodies were well exercised just sitting looking. The roof was raised so we could stand up and look out too. Godson was friendly, helpful, and really informative about all the animals we saw, knowing where to look for them when they became elusive. He was acknowledged with great respect from the other safari drivers too. When we were in Arusha we met a taxi driver who turned out that he had been trained by Godson some years earlier so we heard genuine positive opinions and praise of him (taxiing due to slow return of tourism and safaris). In addition Godson picked us up from the airport the day before our trip, took us to places in Arusha and to our accommodation, then the 5 day safari, and returned us back to the airport. All in all we travelled with Godson for 7 days. I would use Godson Adventures again and recommend him most highly.

We just took a 5 days/4 nights safari with Godson in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Nationals Parks, which was a truly amazing experience. He came highly recommended and did not disappoint!
Godson was extremely helpful and attentive from the beginning, when we started planning the trip by e-mail and WhatsApp. Always answered quickly, despite the time lapse between Tanzania and Brazil. We’ve decided to make a safari with different types of accommodations, from a public campsite to a luxury lodge, so we could have the hole experience, which was great!
He picked us up at the airport, and from there everything was perfect! Always verry polite, thoughtful and patient, knew where to find the animals, waited for us to see them as long as we needed and always tried to get the best angles. We got to see the Big 5 and lots of other animals! He is a great guide and a great journey company!
Everything went just as planned, if not better!

He picked us up at the airport, and from there everything was perfect! Always verry polite, thoughtful and patient, knew where to find the animals, waited for us to see them as long as we needed and always tried to get the best angles. We got to see the Big 5 and lots of other animals! He is a great guide and a great journey company!
Everything went just as planned, if not better!

We have just completed a 7 day safari with Godson as our primary contact.
I cannot be more complimentary about Godson, he is the embodiment of Hakuna Matata when he deals with clients, very flexible and doesn’t get ruffled. But he is also very organised with his paperwork as entry to national parks is very smooth. We often arrived after other operators at a park gate but left first.
We went for some of the main attractions, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake Manjara but Godson suggested a morning at Lake Eyasi and we trusted his judgment. It was incredible, first we went hunting with the Hadzabe tribe, then we visited a tribe of blacksmiths and the craftsman turned an old rusty nail into a leathal arrow head with the most basic tools.
Overall this was a well organised trip and when you spend a week with someone, you get to know them and work out if they are reputable. Godson is a true gent and we already have plans for another trip that he suggested based on what we would enjoy.
From the moment he picked us up in Moshi, he made sure that we had an excellent time and this was his benchmark, I can’t wait for the next trip with him.

Doing Safari with Godson as a guide always feels 100% comfortable and exceting.
The way he planed a tour that fits, his driving and the way he looks out for his custemors - all of this confirmed him not only as a professional but also as a person who always takes care in a attantive way.
Thank you Godson for treating us this way and having such a great Safari.

Can I please get clarification on the safari itinerary?
Is it 2 days, 5 days, or 7 days?
I see different lengths depending on where I look on the same listing.

Good day!
I am looking for a two day experience with my boyfriend and I came across this offer. I just can't understand whether it's one or two days and whether you can provide return to airport.
We would like to start 31 December and have a flight the 2nd January early morning from Kilimanjaro.
Please let me know, I would like to book if possible for two days and possible to be at the airport at 5am the 2nd January
Thanks in advance!
