Gosheni is absolutely incredible!!!
We set off on a thrilling 5-day northern Tanzania safari with Gosheni Safaris, with Mr. Ombeni Uronu guiding and driving us every step of the way. From the very first moment, it was an awe-inspiring adventure that far surpassed our highest hopes for a first African safari. Each day unfolded with breathtaking landscapes, heart-pounding wildlife encounters, and pure, unfiltered joy.
From a practical standpoint, the entire experience was seamless and impressively well-organized. Communication leading up to the trip was prompt, clear, and reassuring—every question we had was answered thoroughly and professionally. The level of service we received throughout the journey was outstanding, and the attention to detail made us feel genuinely cared for. In terms of value for money, the safari exceeded expectations; the quality of the lodges, the expertise of our guide, and the unforgettable experiences in the parks made it worth every penny. Gosheni Safaris proved to be reliable, punctual, and consistently attentive, giving us complete peace of mind from start to finish.
Ombeni’s extensive knowledge of Tanzania’s iconic national parks and his confident, skillful driving consistently placed us in prime viewpoints for spectacular, crystal-clear views of magnificent wildlife. We were able to capture stunning, up-close photos of so many extraordinary animals. The perfect balance of exhilarating game drives and peaceful evenings in charming lodges and tented camps was made even more memorable by Ombeni’s warm personality, steady presence, and playful sense of humor. As we were celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, the wonderful Serengeti camp staff surprised us at dinner with a delicious cake and a lively song and dance performance—an unforgettable, joy-filled moment made even better when Ombeni enthusiastically joined the celebration.
Over the course of our journey, we witnessed the legendary Big Five, the dramatic wildebeest and zebra migration, lions mating, sleek cheetahs on the prowl, intense scenes of predation, and countless herds of elephants grazing, wandering, and even peacefully napping beneath the vast African sky. The sheer abundance and dazzling variety of wildlife were so remarkable that had I not documented everything, I would have completely lost track of the incredible number of animals we encountered.
For anyone considering a Tanzanian safari, we cannot recommend Gosheni Safaris and Ombeni highly enough. Fellow travelers will especially appreciate knowing that beyond the extraordinary wildlife and stunning scenery, the company delivers exceptional communication, dependable service, excellent value, and a flawlessly executed tour experience from beginning to end.
Cleopa was absolutely incredible and knowledgeable!
I can’t recommend Gosheni Tours and more specifically, Cleopa, enough! I’ll start with the accommodations - Gosheni set us up with the most beautiful accommodations that were both beautiful, comfortable and made us feel like we were immersed in it all. The food was incredible and every single person we met was so nice!
As for our guide, Cleopa….I can’t say enough amazing things - he was simply incredible! He knew all of the great photo stops, where to stop to see all of the animals, had the eyes of a hawk and could spot any and everything and was so accommodating and knowledgeable. We came for our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a most spectacularly perfect experience!
Cleopa was kind and knowledgeable when it came to finding the best places in each area.
My wife and I spent 5 days on the safari (2 in Ndutu, 2 in the Central Serengeti, 1 in Ngorongoro Crater) and it was a dream come true. We got to see and experience everything on our checklist from big cats to wandering elephants, and even a few hidden leopards. The overnight stays were very comfortable and ranged from boutique tents overlooking a lake to a sprawling lodge with views as far as the Serengeti could go. Marlene, our initial contact when booking, was extremely helpful and made the transaction smooth.
Cleopa knew exactly the best spots to park when it came time for photos. We had some unforgettable moments watching cheetahs feast next to our car to calmly gazing at the elephants while the they ate. We even got a lion to walk next to the car as we drove down the road! He really knew what he was doing and made us feel at peace the whole trip.
Gosheni is a great company to use for a safari and I wish we could have stayed longer.

A remarkable safari experience
I recently spent six days on safari with Gosheni, traveling in a group of four through Ndutu, Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It’s hard to fully capture how special the experience was.
Bariki, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable. He shared insights about Tanzania’s history, Maasai traditions, local plants and of course the animals we encountered. He helped us find everything we hoped to see — the Big Five, the Ugly Five, lion cubs and baby elephants, a cheetah hunting a gazelle, and even the hyenas we were especially curious about. He was also always patient in answering all of our questions and made sure our curiosity was fully satisfied.
I especially appreciated how he interpreted animal movements and behaviors, helping us understand what certain actions meant. It truly felt like watching a wildlife documentary in real life. He clearly respects the animals and their natural environment, and with his knowledge and experience, we were able to approach wildlife thoughtfully and observe them up close without disturbing them, while still giving us excellent spots for photographs.
I would also like to mention that I requested meals to accommodate my dietary restrictions. The team ensured every lodge was informed and well prepared, which made the trip comfortable and worry-free for me.
This felt like much more than just a safari trip — it was a meaningful experience filled with lasting memories. Thank you for making it so special!
Best arrangement
The entire trip is planned perfectly! Our guide, Hassani, is knowledgeable and with a lot experience for safari. He knows all the spots of wildlife. We achieved big 5 in the first two days. He brought us full of joy and happiness in the whole trip!
