Albert is the best guide!
The tour was fantastic in the sense that 1) Albert as the tour guide is very knowledgeable about local culture and animal life, he was able to share lots of interesting facts about animal. 2) Albert has an eagle eye for spotting wide life and picking a good place to spot; When we got to Mara river to see the animal crossing, he was able to find the front-row seat among tens of jeeps; 3) Albert had a big smile and appears to be very warm

Shabani is the BEST guide EVER
I had an incredible private, custom safari experience for my 40th birthday, booked through Gosheni. I went with my cousin, and we were really happy with the hotels and camps we stayed at — each one was beautiful and the service was excellent throughout.
The absolute highlight of the trip was our driver and guide, Shabani (who also goes by Simba). He completely made the experience. Not only was he fun, personable, and kind, but he was also incredibly accommodating. His positive energy was contagious, and it was clear that he was respected by other guides too. He went out of his way to make sure I saw every animal I had on my birthday wish list, and his diligence paid off — we saw so much wildlife.
Every day we found ourselves saying how grateful we were to have chosen Gosheni, and more specifically, to have been matched with Shabani. From the moment we met him, he elevated the whole experience and made it feel extra special.
The food at most camps was really good. The Four Seasons was stunning, as expected, and they added some thoughtful touches for my birthday that I really appreciated. At Ngorongoro Lodge, the spa staff went above and beyond — my cousin was even able to get a massage after hours because they genuinely wanted to make us happy.
Also, the lunches we were served during the game drives were consistently delicious. We noticed other groups had very simple boxed lunches with sandwiches and fruit, but ours were full meals. That might have been part of booking the luxury package, but either way, we appreciated the quality and attention to detail.
Overall, this was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken. I can’t recommend it enough, and if you can, ask for Shabani. He made it magical.

Amazing
After researching multiple tour companies, we booked our Kenya Tanzania trip with Gosheni. Our trip itinerary was created by Marlene who did a great job of booking great lodges and hotels. What made our experience incredible was our Tanzanian guide Ombeni. He is extremely friendly, polite and was good with our kids. He drove safely and showed us the big 5 and many more. I highly recommend Gosheni and ask for Ombeni for a incredible experience

Best safari tour with Michael
My safari adventure in Tanzania was absolutely incredible, thanks to our amazing guide, Michael! His deep knowledge of wildlife and the local ecosystem made every moment special. We witnessed the breathtaking Great Migration in Ngorongoro and explored the stunning Ngorongoro Crater—each experience was more awe-inspiring than the last.
Michael’s professionalism, friendly personality, and keen eye for spotting animals truly enhanced the trip. He also shared fascinating insights about Maasai culture and Tanzania’s conservation efforts. If you want a once-in-a-lifetime safari with a guide who goes above and beyond, choose Michael! **Highly recommended!**

Gosheni's arrangements were impeccable.
Zadock was an exceptional guide during our safari in Tanzania—his knowledge of the local wildlife and landscapes was truly impressive. He had an uncanny ability to spot even the most elusive animals, from leopards hiding in the acacia trees to rare birds soaring above the savanna, and he shared fascinating insights about their behaviors and habitats with passion. We’d recommend him to anyone seeking an authentic, memorable Tanzanian adventure.

Gosheni exceeds expectations with superior serivce and knowledge
By Edward Dooling, USA
About 10 months ago, a good friend invited my wife and me to join him and his wife on a safari. He reached out to five or six different safari companies, and we ultimately selected Gosheni. The main reason for choosing Gosehni was the exceptional communication skills and professionalism displayed by their sales agent, Nora. Nora provided great guidance, earning our trust and our business.
The trip that Nora and the Gosheni Safari Team put together was top-notch and executed flawlessly. We cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we landed in Tanzania to our final goodbyes, everything was well-organized and exceeded all of our expectations.
Our guide for the 10-day safari was a great young man, Laban. He was simply phenomenal. Laban is a subject matter expert on everything we saw on our safari, from the vast array of animals to the birds and plant life. He also shared his personal story of what it is like to get married in his country, including the various tribes and local culture. His passion and energy for being a safari guide are second to none. Every game drive was a new adventure, and thanks to his keen eye and experience, we saw the Big Five and so much more. We even witnessed the birth of a hippopotamus, something I never imagined I’d see! We were also fortunate to see two wildebeest crossings at the Mara River, and three members of our team witnessed a wildebeest get eaten by a crocodile.
The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for photography and long days out in the parks. We visited Arusha National Park, Ngorogoro Crater, Central Serengeti National Park, and Northern Serengeti National Park, and each park was stunning in its own way. Gosheni made the transitions seamless and enjoyable.
Accommodations arranged by Gosheni were fantastic, unique lodges with warm hospitality and breathtaking views. We especially loved The Four Seasons and the Mara River Camp, where we fell asleep to the sound of wildebeest outside our room. While at the Mara River Camp, we were assigned a butler named Ola, who took great pride in his work and loved seeing his clients enjoy the impeccable service and excellent food that was provided there.
If you're looking for a company that is reliable, passionate, and committed to giving you the best possible safari experience, Gosheni is the one. We came home with memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you, Nora, our guide Laban, and the entire Gosheni team, for an extraordinary adventure!

Steve, Bariki, and Calvin are all such amazing guides! Steve was our driver and was amazing!
It was such an incredible journey and we were all so lucky to have such amazing tour guides.
We traveled as a group of 13 and they accommodated and adjusted to do their best to meet the needs of the group.
The car I was in was driven by Steve! Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and a good driver!
We got to see all the big 5 animals and more! All the guides had a great eye for spying animals from big distances and were also able to get us in a good position to see the animals without disturbing them.
We were even lucky enough to witness the migration twice!!
Some areas of the drive were bumpy, but there really isn’t a way to avoid that.
Overall great experience and I’d love to come back and I recommend it! Just be prepared for sometimes long and bumpy drives but truly worth it
