Strong Recommendation! A Flawless African Safari, Grateful to Meet Edward & Ali.
I absolutely love Gosheni.
Cindy customized our itinerary down to every detail, responded promptly, and resolved any issues that popped up during the trip quickly. The company acted decisively and efficiently when arranging a guide replacement.
Ali was our guide in Kenya. Though we spent only a short time together, I really liked him. Sharp and efficient like a well-trained professional, he kept everything perfectly on track. He would discuss our daily plans with us, so we never needed to worry about a thing. He showed us how baby elephants nurse and climb out of waterholes. His knowledge about wildlife seems endless, and you can feel his genuine passion for animals. We all fell in love with those baby elephants. I will always remember what he told us at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro — seeing baby elephants fills people with hope.
We spent more time with Edward, our guide in Tanzania. He stepped in at short notice (Gosheni was incredibly responsive: we were unhappy with our first guide in Tanzania, and they arranged for Edward to leave at 4 a.m. to meet us in Tarangire National Park right away).
Over those days, Edward took amazing care of us. He answered every question patiently and encouraged us to think deeper. He was so kind and patient with my parents, who are over 70 years old. Thanks to him, our African safari had zero regrets. We witnessed lion hunts, cheetah hunts, the great wildebeest crossing, and vultures feeding — all the wildlife moments we hoped to see.
Edward is far more than a guide. To me, he is a teacher. He shared vast wildlife knowledge, perspectives on nature, and insights into Tanzania. Most importantly, he inspired me with his upbeat philosophy of life through his actions. I feel truly fortunate and grateful to have met him on this African journey.

Knowledgeable guide with excellent service
We had the best honeymoon safari with Gosheni. The communication with the booking was excellent, Herman would answer every question we had and checked hotel availability for the ones we chose. Really enjoyed the package he put together and it was flexible to our needs.
Our guide Haruna is very knowledgeable and experienced. He was very tentative and listen to what we wanted to do and tried his best to spot animals we wanted to see.
All in all excellent experience and would recommend Goaheni to our family and friends!

fabulous experience wonderful guide
from the very beginning with our booking with William, our experience has been nothing less than excellent. Our driver and guide Hassan was wonderful and I would recommend him over and over and over again. Not only did he drive safely and did not take any unnecessary risks, he knew exactly where to find animals and he had an eagle eye spot the most obscure animal up in a tree that none of us could see except him. He truly is a jam with all of his knowledge about every bird and animal that we saw. He answered all of our questions and was willing to stop whenever we asked him too, so we could take a photo. And I have to add that Conny was one of the only tour operators that supplied a hot lunch. Not a box lunch like many of the other others. I plan on recommending Goshen and Hassan on many other travel sites i peruse. Asante Gosheni!

Awesome Gosheni Safari
My wife and I just did 5 day safari with Gosheni and it was awesome. We were very well taken care of and our driver Hassan was awesome!!! Hassan kept saying “I am here for you” and he was. Hassan had excellent timing; he was not too fast or too slow he had us arriving at locations where animals were just in time to see the most amazing things like a cheetah just catching a small gazelle or 1,000 Wildebeest crossing a river! It was a trip of a lifetime!

Hassan was an expert through out our tour.
Our tour guide was an expert in all the animals, birds, plants and trees. He stop at random places and tell us there’s a particular animal. We could not see it at first but with his instructions we would see it. We all marveled how could see things before anyone else could. We saw the big 5 and many more. We saw 2 major crossings after he had determined we should go before it even developed. He made a major effort in keeping us comfortable and safe. He was excellent driver during our 6 day safari.
Our guide had enormous amount of information and conveyed in English very well. We were the only tour that had a hot lunch compared to the other tours who had box lunches. Hassan our guide and gosheni exceeded our expectations.

Knowledgeable and safe
Hassan is so knowledgeable about the wild life, landscape and culture of all the areas we visited including Tanigere, Sarenghetti and Norgorgoro Crater and towns and villages in between. His college degree in animals and their behavior was so helpful and vast from birds, rhino, wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, ostrich, hippos, insects. It was clear we received the best experience from his knowledge while other drivers around us were smoking and on their phone. Hassan can spot the animals from so far away and knows what that black dot in the distance is every time. The lodging with Gosheni were safe, clean and had everything we needed hot water, hair dryer, high quality mattresses. The food was usually good and if we needed something all we had to do was ask. The service staff in camps cannot help you enough. I highly recommend Gosheni for a customizable tour.

very good
A huge thank you to GOSHENNI for an absolutely perfect trip. I want to give a special recommendation to our driver and guide, Mr. Edward Massaki—he worked incredibly hard throughout the journey. He was unfailingly polite, kept the vehicle spotless, and was an exceptional driver who provided truly thoughtful service. When I developed a fever at the Melia, he went out of his way to consult a doctor about what I could and couldn't consume, in addition to managing our entire itinerary. Can you imagine witnessing the "Great Migration" river crossing three times in a single morning? He predicted exactly where the crossing would happen; we waited two hours, and sure enough, the entire herd of wildebeest crossed at that precise spot—it was truly magical. I am also grateful for Mr. Massaki’s wealth of knowledge; he shared so much with us along the way—insights into the wildlife, Africa, Tanzania, and local culture, language, and music. His expertise and perspective gave me so many new insights and made this trip truly extraordinary. I will cherish the memories of this wonderful journey. I also plan to share my experiences on Xiaohongshu and Douyin. Finally, I have to praise GOSHENNI’s arrangements and the camp accommodation (I’ve forgotten the name, but it was amazing). Thank you for the honeymoon surprise—the sunset scenery and the camping experience were absolutely spectacular.

Lifetime experience not to be forgotten
Gosheni Safaris was one of the most recommended options from our research online, and after speaking with their consultants, we decided to go ahead with booking an itinerary.
Maliwaza was responsive and managed to accommodate our requests for specific lodges and travel plans and crafted a 13 day itinerary that covered the best of Kenya and Tanzania.
However, the huge shoutout and highlight of our journeys has been our safari guides, Naheed for Kenya and Huruma for Tanzania.
Both have been a wealth of knowledge and extremely friendly and welcoming and have made our honeymoon trip one of the best trips ever. We have seen countless animals and breathtaking scenery that leaves us already thinking about our next trip.

Extremely knowledgeable and professional, everything ran smoothly.
Our recent 8-day safari with Gosheni Tours was an absolutely phenomenal experience, thanks in large part to our exceptional guide, James.
James's profound knowledge and intuitive understanding of wildlife transformed our journey. He effortlessly navigated us through Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast Serengeti, consistently placing us in prime positions for incredible sightings. We were awestruck by everything from the Big Five to a rare Serval cat to the dramatic wildebeest migration crossings on the Mara River. His patience and foresight ensured we witnessed unforgettable moments, even catching crocs in action!
This entire adventure was meticulously crafted and exceeded all expectations. Our process choosing a tour, refining the hotels, the destinations and the dates, and finally booking was very straightforward via the Gosheni website initially, and then via email and what’s app with Norah, our excellent booking agent. We cannot recommend James and Gosheni Tours highly enough for an unparalleled safari. We'll certainly be encouraging all our friends to book with them!

Great Safari experience in Tanzania
We had a fantastic safari experience with Hassan from Gosheni! He was incredibly accommodating and always did his best to adjust the trip based on what we wanted to see and do.
Hassan was also amazing at spotting wildlife. Thanks to his experience and sharp eyes, we were lucky enough to see 3 leopards, 2 cheetahs, many lions, and so many other animals throughout our safari.
He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience very enjoyable. We really appreciated his effort and would absolutely recommend Hassan to anyone planning a safari with Gosheni!
