Amazing 3 day safari Had an amazing 3 day safari with Godson. He is a brilliant man! Very friendly, funny and knowledgable. He made a lot of effort for me to see as many animals as possible. He was always on time for picking me up in the mornings and always making sure I was happy with my experience. Could not fault him one bit. If you are thinking about going on a safari he is your man. Lots of local knowledge and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a top notch experience. 10/10

Gooson is the number one I was in company of Gooson for 7 days around Tanzania and he is so professional and funny without to be nosy or intrusive, thank you for all

Great safari experience We had a great safari experience! Godson, the driver, was very experienced and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time. Although it was a short trip, we were able to see the big 5 and many other animals. The only one missing in our list is the cheetah, but re promised us that next time he will find one for us

Superb leadership and guiding that resulted in a fabulous summit of Killi! My friend and I had an amazing trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in the safe hands of John Maeda and his crew. He was organised, structured, and kind but firm with all the crew, (and us trekkers!) . His knowledge is second to none, and he was personally responsible for getting me to the top and ‘summiting’ when I was struggling. A true leader of people, John’s standards are high both in terms of ensuring the safety of his treks, and in his expectations of his crew. From the equipment checks, to the informative joviality with which he talks about Kilimanjaro as his ‘office’, and the quiet unassuming way he gets his team involved and organised nothing is left unconsidered. He has a high degree of emotional intelligence, and natural leadership that leads him to intuitively know what each client needs, and to ensure they stay motivated whilst on the trek. Add to this the beauty of John’s ‘office’ Mount Kilimanjaro and you can be assured of an amazing life changing memory.

Family Summit John was amazing with my whole family for 8 days on Kili- we got all 4 of us up there including my 10 year old. He was very patient, thorough and kind. 100% recommend!

One of life’s greatest experiences- climbing Kilimanjaro We climbed Kili in a group of 11 people with John Maeda as the leader. It was tough for someone in their 60s like me but wonderful. Summiting at dawn is an experience never to be forgotten. The organization was faultless and John’s leadership truly remarkable with everyone involved in the climb, the guests, the guides, the porters, cooks etc. if climbing Kili is your thing you can’t do better than having John Maeda organise it. Can’t recommend him highly enough. We wish his business every success he deserves it.

Best of Seven! After completing the Seven Summits, I can honestly say that John and Godson provided the most genuine local experience. They run a first class operation from arrival to departure. Truly delightful individuals and highly competent guides.

Great advice and local knowledge Godson was an amazing help in planning our safari adventure during a family holiday to Tanzania. We got to spend 5 nights out in the national parks and saw all kinds of amazing wildlife. I would highly recommend Godson as a guide and source of knowledge for anyone traveling to Tanzania!

Family Visit to Arusha Godsend was a marvelous guide and host as we toured the area surrounding Arusha. We were particularly interested in the local culture and the educational system. Godsend arranged for school visits and local community tours. He was well organized and detailed. Our entire family enjoyed traveling with Godsend as our guide. We would definitely seek Godsend out for our next Tanzania adventure.

Outstanding guide in Arusha, Tanzania Godsend was our guide in Arusha, Tanzania about 5+ years ago when we visited with our family of five. He picked us up at the airport and over the course of two days showed us the markets, people, restaurants and schools of Arusha. Godsend was very knowledgeable and friendly and great with our three boys, ages 7, 10 and 12. Our experience visiting one of the schools near town was especially impactful. We would highly recommend Godsend to anyone visiting Tanzania.
