We just returned from a 6-day safari…

We just returned from a 6-day safari with Come Africa Safaris, and it was absolutely wonderful. We were traveling with our two kids, and the company made sure everything was family-friendly and well-planned. The guide was patient, funny, and great with children, making learning about wildlife exciting for them. We stayed in lovely lodges and tented camps, each offering incredible views and warm hospitality. Every day brought a new highlight — lions on a hunt, a herd of elephants crossing the road, and even a cheetah sighting! This trip gave our family memories that will last forever.

WORST ONE TOURS

BEWARE & SAVE Yourself! Gadiel of Good One Tours a.k.a Come Africa Safaris is a CON ARTIST!

If you value your money, time, and sanity, stay away from Gadiel. Our “dream” safari turned into a 9-day disaster thanks to his lies, last-minute changes, zero communication, and constant demands for more money – even after we paid in full with a signed itinerary.

He skipped destinations, downgraded lodges without warning, failed to make payments (we were left stranded more than once), and destroyed the very essence of our safari experience. Tarangire? Skipped. Ngorongoro? Shortened unless we paid extra. Manyara? Never happened. Lodges we paid for? Replaced with substandard options.

Traveling across Africa, Asia, and South America for wildlife, we’ve never encountered such blatant scamming and theft disguised as “tour operating”. Gadiel is a disgrace to Tanzanian tourism and should be banned from the industry. We have all proof of his devilry and are pursuing this with relevant Tanzanian authorities.

Spread the word – don’t let others fall into this trap. The company’s name should have been “WORST ONE TOURS”

Reply from Safari Tours

Dear Mihir,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your safari experience didn't meet your expectations. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points and provide some context regarding the concerns raised.

Firstly, we understand that safari experiences come with high expectations, and we strive to deliver exceptional service to all our guests. However, we recognize that it’s possible there was a misalignment between the experience you hoped for and what was delivered. Communication is something we continuously work on, and we’re sorry if we fell short in this regard.

Regarding the specific points in your review:

Destinations: You did indeed visit Tarangire and Ngorongoro, as per your itinerary. We understand that Ngorongoro has specific time limits for park entry, which could have caused confusion regarding the time spent inside the park. The government regulation limits time to 5 hours within the crater, which we adhered to.

Arusha National Park vs. Manyara: You were offered an alternative visit to Arusha National Park, which we agreed upon after discussing it together. We have messages confirming this agreement.

Lodges and Accommodations: We worked hard to ensure the lodges met the standards agreed upon in your signed itinerary. We are disappointed to hear that you felt the accommodations were not up to par.

Additional Charges: We understand how frustrating unexpected costs can be, and we always aim to be transparent with our pricing. If there were additional charges requested, we apologize for any misunderstanding. Our goal is never to “hold guests ransom,” but we do occasionally need to accommodate unforeseen changes or requirements.

We truly value your feedback and would love the chance to understand more about where we could have improved. It is never our intention to mislead or disappoint our clients, and we sincerely hope that you will reconsider the overall experience, which, despite these challenges, still included some of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife areas.

Best regards,
Gadiel Nassary

The trip was well planned, I don’t know why I needed to be so worried about it!
We took a 6-day Kilimanjaro trek on the Lemosho route. The days were planned with meals included. The guides and porters are true MVP’s and work so incredibly hard. Give Good One tours a try!

We had a great experience with Ali and his crew. They took care of us since the beginning and helped us a lot with everything. If you want to reach the summit with a serious and reliable person, we recommend to ask for him. The cook we had was amazing too, the food was different every day and very good. For 2 of us we had a team of 10 and they all are great workers

Discovering Tanzania on Mount Meru, Serengeti and Ngorongoro

We organised with Good One Tours our Tanzania Tour of Mount Meru (3 days) and Serengeti + Ngorongoro (3 days) and were assisted by Gadiel before and during the trip. Gadiel was incredibly reactive and he answered very quickly all our questions. He adapted the tour to our needs and he was very patient with my requests of change of itinerary. We met Gadiel in Arusha when we arrived and we were then accompanied by Oscar as a guide during the climb to Mount Meru. The mountain was a beautiful adventure, physically tiring maybe more than we imagined, but rewarding in terms of stunning landscapes and surrounding nature. Oscar gave us a good rhythm to walk and he shared interesting facts about the national park. We were then guided by Zacharia of Dancing Simba during the safari, where we chose a shared trip. For the safari, Gadiel booked for us very beautiful accommodation in lodges, a highlight after long days in the jeep. Zach knows the parks very well and he is really a nice and kind person, with a lot of knowledge about wildlife. We really enjoyed our holiday, we saw amazing places and had exciting encounters with wild animals. We had some small inconveniences along the way but they were resolved quickly. One general advice, which we understood is valid for basically all tour operators, make sure that during the tour you ask to be briefed at every step, and that you check the general organisation and logistics details, as sometimes things get lost in translation and communication.

Perfect Trekking & Safari

Trekking Kilimanjaro is terrific! Our guide was very patient, and his paste was very comfortable. Learned a lot about how to be a guide. And we saw so many animals during the safari. They were so close to me! Maybe next year I will come again to see the rhinos I didn't see this time. Hakuna matata!

Mind Blowing

We had problems arriving at the airport and returning to the hotel, but Gadiel was always available, helpful, on hand, and incredibly friendly. He was able to resolve the issues immediately so we could fully enjoy and enjoy our wonderful safari :)

Asante sana ;)

Great safari experience

Everything was really well organised and the communication with the company was smooth. The safari itself was also a great experience. Camps were a very nice option for a budget accommodation and game-drives and were so nice.

Unforgettable Safari & Cultural Journey with Goodonetour

I had an incredible safari and cultural experience in Tanzania, all thanks to Goodonetour and the itinerary created by Gadiel.

What made this trip truly special was that it wasn’t just a standard safari. In addition to amazing game drives in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, I had the unique opportunity to engage with local tribes and experience their way of life. Participating in the traditional hunting culture at Lake Eyasi was especially unforgettable.

Gadiel also arranged everything within my budget and offered a very reasonable price for the quality of the experience.

I highly recommend Goodonetour to anyone looking for a rich and authentic adventure in Tanzania.

Unforgettable Mt Meru hike!

We had an excellent experience with Gadiel and his team organising our four-day Mt. Meru hike. Communication was clear throughout, and the price offered was very reasonable. The entire team was professional, helpful, and genuinely kind. We were picked up the day before the hike to rent all necessary gear—often at a discount or fair rate. Every request we made was accommodated, and the trip was smoothly managed from start to finish. Our guide, Oscar, was outstanding, the food was enjoyable, and we reached the summit without any issues. An unforgettable experience.

GoodOne tours is the best safari ops

GoodOne tours is the best safari company. Gadiel is very kind, supportive, and honest. Right from the beginning, he helped us in preparation , planning. We travelled with 4 YO kid, with special food requirements he made sure that our trip is smoothly planned and executed. Highly recommended.

Our guide Soloman is the best you can get. He has vast knowledge of al the national parks, animals, and flora fauna. With the safari, he explained everything in very details which makes your trip informative and worthwhile. He is the best in what he does. He is qlso very kind and helpful.

Great value and experience

We took a 4 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The guide, Solomon, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job, and made sure we not only saw as many animals as possible, but also thaught us all there is to know about them. One can see he really loves his job. We also had a cook, Khalid, traveling with us all the way and preparing fresh breakfast, lunch and dinner for us every day. Food was delicious and he took into account all our dietary restrictions. While there were some problems with communication while arranging accomodations during the safari, Gadiel acknowledged the shortcomings and offered solutions, which we appreciated. He also helped us arrange a shuttle from Namanga border and gave us a free transfer to Arusha airport after the safari.

Many thanks to the whole team for wonderful experience! It was a good value for the money.
