Unforgettable safari with George

5/5

Wow!!!!! This was the first safari we’ve ever done and I’m not sure how it could get better than this! This was truly all thanks to our amazing guide, George. George went above and beyond to make this trip smooth, comfortable, and absolutely unforgettable. He was so professional, but also so warm, friendly, and fun. He was always on time, and had nice touches like cleaning the car every day (you don’t think it’s necessary, but it makes everything so much more comfortable!) He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and their habitats, and shared so much about life in Tanzania as well. We came at the start of rainy season (sadly, it came very early this year) so the roads were very tricky to navigate. We saw so many other cars get stuck, but with George’s experience and discernment we always felt safe and that never happened to us. He knows all the best spots and angles for taking photos of animals—he loves photography himself so he tries to position us in a way where we get the best angles and lighting for the animals. He even shared his photos and videos that he took with his special lens with us since my iPhone was not cutting it.

All the lodges that Gosheni organized for us to stay at were also stunning and so comfortable. Such a treat after long days of driving.

If you want to support a 100% local company, i highly recommend Gosheni. I am sure all the Gosheni guides are amazing, but if you get George as your guide you will be extremely lucky! George, you are the best, thank you!

Absolutely incredible! We can’t wait to come back!

5/5

We just finished a 10-day Tanzania safari with Gosheni, and our guide George made it absolutely unforgettable. If you’re booking a safari, request him — you won’t regret it.

We traveled through Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire and saw an incredible amount of wildlife, including the Big Five. George somehow always knew where to go and could spot animals we would have driven right past. His knowledge of the animals and ecosystems made every sighting even more special.

He’s also an excellent driver — the off-roading in Ndutu can be intense, but we always felt safe and comfortable. He was patient, never rushed us, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and personal. He even took amazing photos and videos throughout the trip and shared them with us afterward, which was such a great touch.

We also loved the cultural experience he arranged, and every lodge we stayed at was fantastic.

George is friendly, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. We’re already talking about coming back and would choose him again without hesitation. Highly recommend Gosheni and George to anyone planning a Tanzania safari.

Perfect migration safari

5/5

We did the 4-day, 3-night migration safari in Ndutu, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and it was absolutely amazing! William was incredibly helpful in selecting the best safari option for February, ensuring we would see plenty of wildlife — and we certainly did!
Our guide, Laban, was perfect. He is a highly experienced driver, exceptionally skilled at spotting animals, and always attentive to our requests about which wildlife we most wanted to see. Thanks to him, every game drive was exciting and rewarding.
This trip exceeded all our expectations — it was truly unforgettable. The tented camps we stayed in were outstanding, and the food was excellent throughout the entire journey.
Thank you, Gosheni Safari, William, and Laban, for such a wonderful experience!

An Exceptional Safari with Gosheni – Perfectly Organized and Led by a Truly Outstanding Guide

5/5

Our 6-night safari with Gosheni Safaris was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the entire experience was professional, smooth, and thoughtfully designed.

Flawless Planning and Communication

Our consultant, Herman, understood exactly what we were looking for — a well-paced, comfortable safari with beautiful camps and strong wildlife opportunities, but without feeling rushed or exhausted. He translated our preferences into a perfectly structured itinerary.

All six lodges and camps were stunning, comfortable, and very well chosen. The routing was logical, the transitions were seamless, and at no point did we feel fatigued by long drives or unnecessary backtracking. Everything felt balanced and intentional. The logistics throughout the journey were handled effortlessly.

The Hidden Gem: Our Guide, Huruma

What elevated this safari from excellent to unforgettable was our guide, Huruma.

With over 20 years of experience — and previously a ranger in the Serengeti — his depth of knowledge was extraordinary. Interestingly, he only shared his ranger background with us on the last day. That humility speaks volumes about his character.

Huruma is calm, respectful of nature, and deeply intuitive in the field. He doesn’t just drive around looking for animals — he reads the landscape. By observing tracks, bird movements, alarm calls, and subtle environmental signs, he anticipates where wildlife might appear. His instincts are remarkable.

He truly has eagle eyes — spotting animals in the distance without binoculars when most of us would see nothing. Thanks to him, we saw everything we had hoped to see, including several breathtaking predator hunting moments. Even more impressive, he always positioned the vehicle at the perfect angle for viewing and photography, without disturbing natural behavior.

Extraordinary Knowledge and Professionalism

His knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five. He recognizes nearly every bird species we encountered — which makes sense, as he even keeps a dedicated bird reference book in the vehicle. His passion for wildlife is genuine and inspiring.

We also traveled during rainy conditions, when roads became extremely muddy. We saw other vehicles getting stuck, but not once did we. Huruma’s driving judgment and control in difficult terrain were impressive and reassuring.

Every morning, despite mud and long drives, the vehicle was clean and ready. Hot lunches were prepared daily, and we felt consistently well cared for.

He is clearly respected among other guides and was always supportive and professional on the radio. His humility, experience, and kindness made a lasting impression on us.

Final Thoughts

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Huruma as our guide. He is truly a hidden gem within Gosheni — and if you have the opportunity to request him, do so without hesitation.

Gosheni organized a beautiful safari. Huruma made it unforgettable.
