A Truly Outstanding Safari Experience (James is the best)
From the very first, we were impressed by the professionalism and organization of your company. Everything was smooth and well-arranged, which set the stage for an incredible safari.
We had the absolute privilege of spending six days on safari with James, and I can honestly say he made the entire experience unforgettable. From the very first moment, James impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and incredible skill.
He is not only a superb guide, but also a safe and highly skilled driver, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the journey knowing we were in the best hands. His sharp instincts in the field were remarkable. James seemed to spot wildlife long before anyone else, and thanks to him we had extraordinary encounters (of course we’ve seen all the big 5).
Beyond his guiding expertise, James is one of the most humble, down to earth, and genuinely kind people we have met. He was also hilarious, fun to be around, and quickly felt more like a friend than just a guide.
What stood out most is his vast knowledge. Whether it was animals, plants, or local culture, James had answers for everything and shared his insights with clarity. He elevated every sighting into a learning experience, making the safari not just exciting, but also deeply enriching.
For us, James was the perfect partner for this once in a lifetime adventure. We trusted him completely and couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We would recommend James to anyone without hesitation. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, your safari will be unforgettable.

A perfect & unforgettable 8-day Safari experience thanks to Calvin & Gosheni!
Already in the planning process, as we were uncertain whether we should include Tarangire or Manyara in our itinerary, and did not have time for both, William was super helpful in helping us decide, using Gosheni’s local knowledge on worsened conditions in Lake Manyara NP after severe flooding a few years ago. In the end, we went for their 8 day Great Migration itinerary, including Tarangire, Ngorongoro, as well as central and northern Serengeti, flying back from Kogatende to Arusha. We would choose this same itinerary again today, it was perfect for us. The lodges booked were all by Acacia Collections, which Gosheni partners with, all of which were clean luxury lodges with exceptionally welcoming personnel, which catered to our wishes (e.g. being vegetarian) perfectly. You also support local Tanzanian businesses, as both Gosheni and their lodging partner are fully founded and operated by Tanzanians locally, and you’re not paying extra to benefit European or American investors and social media marketing, which (especially with Tanzanias colonial history) was important to us, and is far from the norm unfortunately.
Though we did not even ask them to do so, when we booked our Safari, Gosheni also matched us with one of their German speaking guides. Calvin turned out to be the perfect guide for us and made our trip truly unforgettable. Besides being clearly very experienced at driving the (very comfortable and well maintained) 4x4 vehicle, and knowing every road in the national parks inside and out, he was always intuitively putting us in great spots at the right times to notice incredible moments (he is very modest and said we were very lucky, but I’m sure some of this luck was due to him). We got to see pretty much everything - not just every single cat & “big” animal Tanzania has to offer, but also incredible scenes - a leopard hunting, cheetahs and lions with their recent prey, elephants bathing playfully and wildebeest crossing the Mara river.
The best bit to us though, was Calvin’s amazingly trained knowledge about every single bit of animal and plant biology, which he explained to us as we were observing them, and as he answered all of our questions enthusiastically, allowing us to understand why animals behave the way that they do. And during our incredible lunches in the bush, he continued to entertain all our questions about life in Tanzania the same way. Calvin really gave the Safari experience meaning, that we will be forever grateful for.

Incredible 8-days Safari with the best guide Calvin
The safari was from the beginning to the end perfectly organised by the Gosheni team and especially our guide Calvin. His German is very good and he could answer all our questions about wildlife and the animals and always found us the best spot to watch them. For every lunch he found incredible places in the middle of nature and prepared everything with great attention to detail.
All the lodges we stayed at belong to the Acacia collection, the staff and tents were really lovely and the food was always very good.
Before the trip we had contact with William who always answered fast and gave us a lot of advice so the trip became exactly how we wanted it to be.
All in all we can recommend the once-in-a-lifetime Safari with Gosheni and especially with Calvin when you want a Safari with a German speaking guide, but also for English - Calvin is just so experienced, funny and kind-hearted. We had the best time with him. Asante sana!

Once in a lifetime experience
Gosheni made our honeymoon safari absolutely unforgettable. From the start they were helpful, responsive, and tailored everything to us, even adding little surprises that made the trip feel extra special. The lodges and camps were fantastic, and the 5-day itinerary worked perfectly.
Our guide, Samir, was amazing: super knowledgeable, kind, and easygoing. He made sure we saw everything, from lions in the Serengeti to elephants in Ngorongoro, while also anticipating our needs and making us feel completely at ease.
Between the breathtaking wildlife, stunning scenery, and the way everything was planned so smoothly, it really was the trip of a lifetime. I honestly couldn’t recommend Gosheni and Samir more.

Unforgettable honeymoon experience with Gosheni!
We’ve just finished an incredible 5-day safari in Tanzania with Gosheni, and it has been everything we hoped for and more. This is the first part of our honeymoon, and it set the tone perfectly.
From start to finish, everything was seamless – the itinerary was beautifully planned, the lodges and camps were outstanding, and the food was consistently excellent. Each day brought something new and unforgettable, with just the right balance of adventure and comfort.
A huge thank you goes to our guide, Samir. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was exceptional, and he always seemed to know where to be at the right moment. Because of him we had the chance to witness extraordinary sightings that we’ll carry with us forever. On top of that, he made everything feel easy and relaxed, which allowed us to really enjoy the magic of the safari without a worry.
Gosheni delivered a flawless experience and we couldn’t be happier that we chose them for such a special trip. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we can’t recommend them – and Samir – highly enough.
Bariki our Rafiki- best guide ever, awesome safari
Gosheni was a great outfit, and I can say enough about our Guide Bariki.
We had 6 in our group and were had the experience of a lifetime. We could see the difference between our guide and company vs other groups. We were very happy to have a great vehicle, great support and an awesome guide who was so knowledgeable and genuinely excited about Safari. It’s important to get a guide who really understands animal behavior.

Awesome experience with Bariki!
Gosheni was easy to work with. They got back to us quickly with questions and with helpful answers. The camps we stayed at were wonderful and our guide (Bariki) was the best. So knowledgeable, funny and personable. We saw so many wonderful sites and amazing animals. I would highly recommend this tour group! I loved this Safari!
