Outstanding Gosheni safari
Our 4 person group from the US just finished 10 nights in Tanzania. Our safari company was Gosheni.
Our experience was first class. Each of us would give Gosheni 10 stars out of 10.
Our salesperson was Norah. From our first contact with Norah 11 months ago, her knowledge, patience, kindness, and responsiveness shined through with every communication. Even after we had paid all of our money, her communication style did not change. Norah was first class all the way.
Our guide was Laban. There are truly not enough positive words to describe Laban. Incredibly knowledgeable, always on time, vehicle kept spotless, enjoyable to spend hours in the vehicle with. We could go on and on about Laban. You would be lucky to have him as your guide.
Gosheni is an African company. Your money spent with Gosheni stays in Africa and benefits the people there. After you visit the area, you will better understand the importance of keeping the money in Africa.
Choosing a safari company is a leap of faith. You send so much money well before your actual trip. All I can say is Gosheni delivered on all their promises. Gosheni gave us a wonderful experience that we will never forget.

Unforgettable 8-Day Safari with William David from Gosheni Safari
Our 8-day safari with William David from Gosheni Safari was nothing short of incredible. We explored four different national parks and were fortunate to spot the Big Five multiple times. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the opportunity to also observe lesser-known bird species and smaller animals — a true testament to William’s deep knowledge and keen eye.
With over 18 years of experience, William is not just a guide; he is a walking encyclopedia on Tanzania’s landscapes, flora, fauna, and culture. His insights into the 120+ tribes of Tanzania were as captivating as the wildlife itself. Learning about the cultural diversity of the country added an entirely new layer to the journey.
Tanzania is a very accessible country for travelers, but having someone like William made a world of difference. His experience ensured everything ran smoothly, and he was always one step ahead. The 4x4 vehicle was in excellent condition — well-maintained, fully equipped, and cleaned daily. Cold water and other drinks were always available, making the long drives very comfortable.
Another major highlight was William’s network and familiarity with lodges and fellow guides. Thanks to his connections, any potential issues were resolved quickly and seamlessly. Every detail was carefully considered, and we always felt safe, informed, and well taken care of.
William’s understanding of each park was remarkable. He navigated every trail with ease and knew exactly where to find the animals. The tips he and other guides shared throughout the safari made a huge difference — from photography advice to animal behavior insights.
This wasn’t just a safari; it was a masterclass in nature, culture, and conservation, guided by someone with unmatched passion and expertise. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a Tanzanian safari experience.
great service
Our safari tour in Tanzania was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, he made every game drive exciting and informative. His deep understanding of wildlife and local culture truly enriched our experience. Highly recommend his guiding service for anyone visiting Tanzania!

The conditions were very comfortable however a lot of things didn't go to plan
It didn't start well when we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport at 04:00am and our Tour arrived at 07:45, when he was booked to arrive at 06:00am. He excused himself with the fact that there was an accident, but we soon understood that wasn't true, as he we was contradicting himself, and we saw no accident on the way.
The tour began and even though we saw some great animals and he made a big effort for us to see the Big 5, throughout the day there were really no explanations about anything. Everyday, he kept telling us to start around 09, and it was us pushing to start at 07 and the reason for this is that after 11 it's very tricky to see animals doing anything besides lie in the shade.
Gosheni organizes the meals with the hotels, so no sandwiches or anything like that which is great.
One topic we didn't like, Michael was constantly on his personal phone about personal issues, we know it was personal because when it wasn't he would tell us (happened once). Given that he is driving having him over 1 hour on the phone wasn't very comfortable. He has great knowledge of the park but needs to really manage this side better. He used the phone way to much for someone working.
In terms of the car, it's a comfortable Land Cruise, in our Cases the plugs they have installed didn't work, and the fridge didn't work for 2 days.

Amazing 7 day Family Safari with Gosheni and Albert
We had a wonderful experience with Gosheni Safaris. We were 6 people including 2 kids -10 & 7 and we all had an absolutely great time in Tanzania. Our guide during the entire trip Albert was top notch and made our experience even more memorable. We covered 2 days in Tarangire starting from Arusha, then headed to the crater floor - ngorongoto for a day and then 2 days in central Serengeti and then 2 days in north Serengeti. Our guide Albert was amazing and could name almost every bird that we saw and was great at finding animals that were well and truly hidden. We enjoyed learning some Swahili from him and he was very patient with us explaining everything and making sure we were all comfortable and happy throughout. We also did a balloon safari in n Serengeti - which is another can’t forget this lifetime experience. Everything went according to plan and without a hitch, I believe thanks to Gosheni being totally professional with their planning. Their coordinator Herman with whom we were working for a couple of months planning this bucket list trip was amazing. Responses were always overnight and he was helpful with every question we asked. Again, I have to say , a trip like this is totally down to who your guide is especially when it is 7 or so days. And special thanks to Albert for making this a totally memorable experience.

Excellent! Exceeded all expectations!
Words cannot express the experience we had with Gosheni safaris. Albert Lema , our tour operator made sure we had a great time all throughout. He was knowledgeable about animals and birds, entertained us during the journey with stories and anecdotes about the little towns we passed through. Would be tough to top this experience! Highly recommend safari in Tanzania with Albert!

Albert was our tour guide who tirelessly took us around throughout the day. Memorable trip for us.
The touring company gave a very detailed overview of our trip schedule and was prompt in clearing all doubts. The suggestions by them for the stay, number of days to spend at each place and what all animals we would be likely to view was very helpful. All our stays we're comfortable with cheerful staff who made us very comfortable. This has been truly the trip of a lifetime.
