A dream safari that exceeded every expectation
5/5

This entire trip exceeded all of our expectations.

We did a 6-day safari during the February calving season, visiting Ndutu, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro as a group of four. Highly recommended Ndutu during calving season as this is only area can do off-road game drive, which allows you to see animals extremely close. Before booking, I contacted 30 safari operators that I shortlisted and compared everything — accommodations, vehicles (AC was important to us), pricing, and communication. Gosheni stood out immediately for their professionalism and responsiveness.

A big thanks to Herman for helping us choose the best travel window to reduce the chance of heavy rain while maximizing our chances of seeing newborn animals. His communication was prompt, and he handled every question and adjustment quickly and professionally while we refined the itinerary.

And a huge shout-out to our guide, Bariki — he truly made our dream safari come true. First, his knowledge and professionalism were outstanding. His understanding of the Serengeti ecosystem is incredibly deep. He can spot animals from miles away, knows their territories, and always knew how to track the specific animals we hoped to see. Every sighting came with fascinating explanations of animal behaviour, and he patiently answered every question we had — even random questions about plants we noticed along the road.

Second, his driving and problem-solving skills were exceptional. This turned out to be incredibly important on the muddy and flooded roads of Ndutu and the Serengeti. He always knew alternative routes, could quickly adjust plans when conditions changed, and consistently got us to the right place at the right time.

Finally, he has a fantastic eye for photography and safari experience. He knew the best angles, positioned the vehicle perfectly for lighting, and helped us capture amazing photos throughout the trip.

During our 5 days of game drives (plus 1 transit day), we saw everything we hoped for and more: the Big Five, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, wildebeest, zebras, many birds and antelope — and baby animals almost everywhere thanks to calving season. The highlight of the trip was witnessing a successful cheetah hunt, which was unforgettable. Thanks to Bariki again for spotting and predicting the hunting!

I arrived hoping to see specific animals and behaviours, and left with so much knowledge, appreciation, and love for safari. We will definitely be back for another trip.

Calvin Kileo - Fantastic tour guide
5/5

We had an incredible safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Calvin Kileo. From the very start he was friendly, professional, and genuinely kind, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.

Calvin truly went above and beyond to give us the best possible wildlife experience. He worked hard to track animals, positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos and viewing, and shared his knowledge in a way that made every sighting even more special. His patience and dedication really stood out and he never rushed and always made sure we had the best views possible.

It was clear that Calvin is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his guests having an unforgettable safari. Thanks to him, we saw more than we ever expected and created memories we’ll never forget.

We would highly recommend Calvin Kileo to anyone planning a safari as he made our trip truly exceptional.

Exceeded my expectations
5/5

We honestly could not have wished for a better safari guide than Calvin Kileo from Gosheni Safaris. From start to finish, he was truly exceptional and made this trip more magical than we ever imagined.

Thanks to Calvin’s incredible knowledge, instincts, and dedication, we saw everything and more — elephants calmly walking right past our jeep, lions with their cubs, hippos, a leopard, and even an unforgettable cheetah hunt. His understanding of the land and wildlife in Ndutu, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater was outstanding, and it felt like he always knew exactly where to be at the right moment.

Calvin thought of absolutely everything. From perfectly timed game drives to beautifully set-up lunches in the most scenic spots, every detail was handled with care. The food and hotels throughout the trip were amazing, and the whole experience felt seamless and incredibly well organised.

What truly sets Calvin apart, though, is the kind of person he is. Everywhere we went, people spoke so highly of him — and it’s easy to see why. He is warm, friendly, patient, and genuinely kind. He went above and beyond to make my birthday safari the most unforgettable experience, adding thoughtful touches that made it feel incredibly special.

We feel so grateful to have had Calvin as our guide. He didn’t just show us Tanzania — he made us fall in love with it. This trip will stay with us forever, and that is entirely thanks to him. If you are considering Gosheni Safaris, ask for Calvin Kileo — you will not regret it.

A close and unforgettable Africa

*A Close and Unforgettable Africa: Our Experience with Gosheni*

I would like to highly recommend Gosheni for their exceptional service and organization of our safari in Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. From the initial planning to the end of our trip, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.

A special thank you to our guides, Sahid and Calvin, who did an outstanding job of showing us the wildlife and sharing their knowledge of the region. Sahid, who led us in Masai Mara for three days, was knowledgeable and ensured our safety throughout the trip. Calvin, who accompanied us for four days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, was exceptional in finding incredible animals and making our experience unforgettable. His passion for nature and attention to detail were impressive, and his food was delicious!

I also want to acknowledge Maliwaza, the administrator of the agency, who was very responsive and helpful throughout our planning process. And I'd like to give a special shout-out to Charles, the director, who went above and beyond by arranging for malaria medication to be purchased for us - it was a huge relief and truly appreciated, given it wasn't obligatory.

If you're looking for a travel agency that will provide you with an authentic and exciting African experience, I highly recommend Gosheni and their expert guides.

An unforgettable experience in Tanzania and Kenya
5/5

Our safari through Tanzania and Kenya was absolutely magical, and we owe so much of that to our incredible guides, Sahid and Calvin Laban, who took such wonderful care of us. Traveling as a large family can be a challenge, but they always met us with huge smiles and a level of warmth that made us feel right at home from day one. They were so loving and patient with everyone, showing a true passion for teaching us and a genuine desire to share the beauty of their land. It was clear that they weren't just doing a job; they truly cared about us having the experience of a lifetime. We also want to thank Gosheni for the seamless organization; thanks to them and the amazing human quality of Sahid and Calvin, we are taking home memories that we will cherish forever.
