Gosheni is the best safari in Tanzania ! Samir is the best guide in Africa!!!
We spent months researching for the best tour company and chose Gosheni for our honeymoon. 8 day safari to north Tanzania from Arusha and 6 days in Zanzibar. They took care of every detail. It was so smooth. Marline did a great job booking it all including all the great hotels and safari camps.
The safari was amazing. Samir has over 13 years as a guide. Very experienced, a great driver and knowledgable in the animas and culture. He always got us in close to the animals and positioned us for the best camera shots. It was clear he was a better guide than other large companies. We were just 2 in the jeep while other companies had 6-7 people. A good guide and truck is critical as you will spend 12-13 hours a day in it over very rough terrain. Some of the big tour companies are like a chain - inexperienced drivers. Stuck to the best - Gosheni.
We saw every animal! Leopard, rhino, hippo, cheetah, lion, elephant, zebras I think we saw several hundred thousand !!!
The hot air balloon was amazing. Do not pass it up. It’s a once in a lifetime experience
Most amazing trip and big big kudos to Gosheni and Samir.

The BEST of Tanzania - With Bariki!
Words fall short to describe our experience with Bariki, our guide and Gosheni Safaris. If you want to have a truly memorable and amazing experience, you should book with Gosheni and get Bariki as your guide. He is hands-down the best; incredibly experienced, well-informed, and the most accommodating we have had in anyplace, anywhere. What sets Bariki apart from all other guides is not only his in-depth knowledge about animals, birds but also his amazing instincts about places to go and truck positioning for the best views and sights. He is an incredible driver and set us up in perfect spots for great photos and experiences. Thanks to his exceptional skills, we even spotted several rare animals and birds. From a booking perspective, Gosheni (our booking manager was Maliwaza) had great communication and made us feel welcomed and special, especially because some of our party had allergies. They were very easy to work with! If you want a personalized, once-in-a-lifetime experience - Go with Gosheni Safaris with Maliwaza coordinating and Bariki as your guide! No need to look at any other company … Simply put - They are the best!!

Amazing safari!
We spent a week on a safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Tarangire parks and are in awe of the nature, but especially of our guide who shared so much details, found the best spots to see animals, was fun to be with and an amazing driver on the challenging roads inside the parks as well as outside. Thank you so much, Calvin!
The company has been great from the beginning till the end, high quality service all along - excellent communication throughout, very reliable and really good value for money! Big thanks to Norah who helped with the initial booking and Maliwaza who took over for any questions we had etc.
I highly recommend Gosheni Safaris! You’ll be in good hands. Unforgettable experience thanks to all staff and, especially, thanks to Calvin!

A week to be remembered
We've been lucky to have Calvin as our tour guide. He drived like a professionnal, spent histoire time finding the best spots and it was magical. We saw cheetah, lions, leopard, buffalos from 2 meters away. Drove in the middle of an elefant family, girafes and many more. Crocodiles, hypos and even 2 of the few rhinos were spotted.
I recommand the comparé and Calvin for the ride of a life.

GOSHENI IS THE BEST, DONT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE!
We went on safari in Tanzania to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, and thanks to George, it turned into one of the most memorable experiences of our lives.
From the very beginning, George went above and beyond, not just as a guide, but as someone who genuinely cared about making our trip special. Once he found out we were celebrating our anniversary, he made sure that every lodge we stayed at knew. As a result, we were greeted with thoughtful, personal touches at each stop, from room decorations to special desserts, all of which made us feel incredibly appreciated.
And then came the moment I’ll never forget. I had brought a ring as a gift for my wife, and George helped me create the perfect moment to give it to her. While we were exploring Ngorongoro, he scouted a stunning spot overlooking the crater, completely private and absolutely breathtaking. It was there that I gave her the ring. It was perfect, and I owe that moment entirely to his thoughtfulness and attention to detail.
Beyond all this, George is simply an extraordinary guide. On just one day, we saw a pride of around 30 lions, a cheetah with two cubs, three male lions walking right on the road, and a leopard in a tree with its kill. And that was only one day out of eight, each filled with unforgettable sightings and stories.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable, there wasn’t a single question we asked that he didn’t answer thoroughly, and he made each drive both informative and fun. He was always checking in to make sure we were happy with everything, both on the drives and at the lodges. By the end of the trip, it honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to a close friend or family member.
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, George is the person you want by your side. He made our anniversary truly magical, and we’ll always be grateful.

Wildlife, Warmth, and Wonder – Our Safari with George
We had the absolute pleasure of spending 8 days on safari in Tanzania with George as our guide, and we truly could not have asked for anyone better. From the moment we met him, we felt completely safe, well taken care of, and in expert hands. Just trust George, you’ll be in for the experience of a lifetime.
He was incredibly knowledgeable, answering every single one of our (many!) questions with clarity, patience, and genuine passion for the wildlife and landscapes around us. He was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable, happy with the lodges, and getting the most out of every game drive. It honestly felt like we were traveling with family, that’s how much warmth and care he brings to the experience.
And when it comes to sightings… wow. On just one single day, we saw a pride of around 30 lionesses and cubs, a cheetah with two cubs, three male lions walking on the trail, and a leopard up in a tree with its prey hanging beside it. That was just one day, so you can only imagine the kind of unforgettable wildlife encounters we had over the full 8 days!
George was also a joy to talk to during our drives, always sharing insights, stories, and keeping the energy positive and exciting. Every evening, he’d give us a detailed summary of the next day’s plan and make sure we were fully satisfied with how things were going.
We will truly miss him and are so grateful to have had him as our guide. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, go with George. You won’t regret it.
