Calvin Kileo - Fantastic tour guide
We had an incredible safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Calvin Kileo. From the very start he was friendly, professional, and genuinely kind, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
Calvin truly went above and beyond to give us the best possible wildlife experience. He worked hard to track animals, positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos and viewing, and shared his knowledge in a way that made every sighting even more special. His patience and dedication really stood out and he never rushed and always made sure we had the best views possible.
It was clear that Calvin is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his guests having an unforgettable safari. Thanks to him, we saw more than we ever expected and created memories we’ll never forget.
We would highly recommend Calvin Kileo to anyone planning a safari as he made our trip truly exceptional.

Exceeded my expectations
We honestly could not have wished for a better safari guide than Calvin Kileo from Gosheni Safaris. From start to finish, he was truly exceptional and made this trip more magical than we ever imagined.
Thanks to Calvin’s incredible knowledge, instincts, and dedication, we saw everything and more — elephants calmly walking right past our jeep, lions with their cubs, hippos, a leopard, and even an unforgettable cheetah hunt. His understanding of the land and wildlife in Ndutu, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater was outstanding, and it felt like he always knew exactly where to be at the right moment.
Calvin thought of absolutely everything. From perfectly timed game drives to beautifully set-up lunches in the most scenic spots, every detail was handled with care. The food and hotels throughout the trip were amazing, and the whole experience felt seamless and incredibly well organised.
What truly sets Calvin apart, though, is the kind of person he is. Everywhere we went, people spoke so highly of him — and it’s easy to see why. He is warm, friendly, patient, and genuinely kind. He went above and beyond to make my birthday safari the most unforgettable experience, adding thoughtful touches that made it feel incredibly special.
We feel so grateful to have had Calvin as our guide. He didn’t just show us Tanzania — he made us fall in love with it. This trip will stay with us forever, and that is entirely thanks to him. If you are considering Gosheni Safaris, ask for Calvin Kileo — you will not regret it.

*A Close and Unforgettable Africa: Our Experience with Gosheni*
I would like to highly recommend Gosheni for their exceptional service and organization of our safari in Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. From the initial planning to the end of our trip, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
A special thank you to our guides, Sahid and Calvin, who did an outstanding job of showing us the wildlife and sharing their knowledge of the region. Sahid, who led us in Masai Mara for three days, was knowledgeable and ensured our safety throughout the trip. Calvin, who accompanied us for four days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, was exceptional in finding incredible animals and making our experience unforgettable. His passion for nature and attention to detail were impressive, and his food was delicious!
I also want to acknowledge Maliwaza, the administrator of the agency, who was very responsive and helpful throughout our planning process. And I'd like to give a special shout-out to Charles, the director, who went above and beyond by arranging for malaria medication to be purchased for us - it was a huge relief and truly appreciated, given it wasn't obligatory.
If you're looking for a travel agency that will provide you with an authentic and exciting African experience, I highly recommend Gosheni and their expert guides.
An unforgettable experience in Tanzania and Kenya
Our safari through Tanzania and Kenya was absolutely magical, and we owe so much of that to our incredible guides, Sahid and Calvin Laban, who took such wonderful care of us. Traveling as a large family can be a challenge, but they always met us with huge smiles and a level of warmth that made us feel right at home from day one. They were so loving and patient with everyone, showing a true passion for teaching us and a genuine desire to share the beauty of their land. It was clear that they weren't just doing a job; they truly cared about us having the experience of a lifetime. We also want to thank Gosheni for the seamless organization; thanks to them and the amazing human quality of Sahid and Calvin, we are taking home memories that we will cherish forever.

Incredibly nice, and patient.
We went with Calvin, and honestly he was an amazing guide. We are a very “loud” family, and he was able not only to teach us and show us wonderful things, but to enjoy the journey among us. Always with a huge smile, and disposition to help us with anything. He was an important part of why this trip was so special and memorable.

The perfect African holiday
Our experience with Gosheni Safaris was outstanding. From the planning stage—carefully addressing all our needs—to the execution, everything was carried out flawlessly and exactly as agreed. They offered excellent suggestions and demonstrated great experience in understanding what we were looking for and how to adapt it to our budget.
Our experience in Kenya with our guide Zahid was excellent. Zahid was an outstanding guide—respectful, friendly, and deeply committed to whatever we wanted to do and to the possibilities each day offered us. Without a doubt, he is both an excellent professional and a wonderful person. We are very grateful for his experience and his human warmth.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, upon crossing the border we were introduced to Calvin Laban, who became our guide in Tanzania, taking us through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Here, all our expectations were truly exceeded. Calvin is not only an exceptional guide—remarkably skilled at spotting animals and being in the right place at the right time—but he also showed extraordinary friendliness, flexibility, adaptability, and genuine willingness to help us with all our needs. Polite and extremely knowledgeable about the parks and their inhabitants. Truly outstanding. We are going to miss him!
Many thanks to both guides, Zahid and Calvin, and to Gosheni Safaris for organizing everything and putting us in such great hands.

A fantastic experience from start to finish, professionally organised with great attention to detai.
We as a party of three have had a fantastic time on a four day safari in Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We got to see the big 5 thanks to the expert knowledge of our tour guide Zadock. He went above and beyond to make our first safari special. His advice and insight really helped and we were able to get close to so many animals. His information about the animals and their habitat meant we have learnt so much as well and he always answered our numerous questions. He was always happy to spend as long as we wanted at each animal ensuring we always got a good position.
Every aspect of the safari has been so well organised. The jeep has been great and always clean, there has been an endless supply of cold drinks from the icebox on board and is as comfortable as can be over the safari trails! The food provided has been great and all three accommodations we have stayed in have been exemplary with staff so friendly and welcoming.
Thank you for a fantastic experience throughly recommended.
