An amazing 7-day Safari in Tanzania
We chose Gosheni for our safari and could not be happier. Pendo helped us create an itinerary to suit our tastes and was very responsive when we asked for a few adjustments. Our driver and guide Zadock was great too, accommodating every request and helping us find and identify many different animals and birds. The jeep was comfortable and clean, with cold water, soft drinks and tea/coffee available whenever we wanted it. We couldn't be happier with our experience - it really felt like Gosheni wanted to give us the best possible week, and we'll never forget it.
Great Safari with Gosheni
Gosheni is a Class A company... small by their own admission but that doesn't make any difference. I reviewed, talked to, emailed, asked about many, many tour companies of all stripes and I am lucky I chose these guys/gals. Pendo handled everything in picking, scheduling my safari and was always prompt and clear in her responses (Not like several companies I talked with). It was a pleasure working with them from start to finish...the elements of the safari were just perfect for me (7 days) and I experienced, saw and did exactly what I wanted to do. I am a single male adult traveller and Pendo took great care of me and I appreciate Peter took the time after the trip to say hello. Hey, I saw, experience everything I would have hoped to see (the 5++++)...lions on attack, wilderbeast and zebra racing in migration, NG Crater....I could go on and on but why don't you sign up and experience what I did...last but not least is my guide and driver and he became a great companion was Fuhanael...experienced, knowledgeable and all around terrific guide. I asked to have a day or so of rest after the safari and they booked me into Kiligolf and a stay at Villa Luna Retreat which was terrific...so from start to finish and in between it was an unforgettable experience thanks to Gosheni Safaris. Frankly, I can't recommend them highly enough.....
Best Safari for us
We have had memorable moments on a 10 day safari with Gosheni through the national parks Tarangire, Manyara, Eyasi, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and after many worldwide Trips we can say that these experiences were the most impressive at all. After we had decided to go to Tanzania, we wrote to various safari providers and asked for offers. However, because we did not just want to observe animals, we asked for incorporate Cultural Trips as an important component. From all the offers Gosheni proved to be the best for us. The advice, contact and communication with Peter Roberts, the owner, was outstanding. We would never have dreamed how impressively the visits and the meeting with the Hadzabes, Datogas and other ethnicities had affected us.
For the safari, Peter gave us an absolute top guide with Zadock. Anyone who has ever been together with a driver guide over such a long time 12 hours a day will be able to assess how difficult that can be. With Zadock we had from our first day a very friendly, experienced driver and connoisseur of the fauna and flora of Tanzania at our side. Not only that, he was also a very intelligent conversation partner and could enlighten us about the history, culture and politics. At the same time, he has always been interested and cared for our welfare.
And also we will mention that we have seen the incredible variety of wild animals. We think Tanzania is the best place to do a safari.
Likewise mentioned the accommodations selected by Gosheni the food and the always very friendly staff in the camps. Particularly the Acacia tented camp in the Serengeti mentioned. We will certainly return again.

Unforgettable
It was an incredible experience from beginning to end. From the moment we landed we were greeted with such ease. We felt very taken care of. Mount Kili was incredible! I personally got altitude sickness very bad and they went out of their way to accommodate me. We followed Kili with a couple of safaris. They were Amazing and our accommodations were fabulous. I Highly recommend them. The price was very competitive, but they did not skip on quality!

Fullfiling Kilimanjaro Expedition
From our first encounter with Gosheni whilst in SA it was excellent. We were prepared accordingly for the expedition what to expect and how to also get ready. The staff was exceptional and interactive, support all the way up the mountain was extremely excellent. I loved how warm and welcoming they were but most importantly they were very informative and easily encouraged us when the going got tough.......Gosheni Safaris are the best by far

An amazing company with amazing people
It was a long and arduous process to choose a safari company for my Kili climb and Migration Safari. I ended up with Gosheni and they turned out to be one of the best companies and experiences I have ever had since I embarked 6 years ago on traveling the world. Peter Robert was amazing to work with and meticulously put together an itinerary and team that far exceeded my expectations. The Kilimanjaro climb team was amazing, from the porters, to the chef to the guides. They helped me get to 17000 ft. before I succumbed to severe altitude sickness, damn you living at sea level!!! The team genuinely cared and it showed in everything they did for me. On the safari portion, the driver, vehicle and service were all 5 stars. Every day of the safari the driver setup a table in the Serengeti that offered, sodas, coffee, tea, wine, etc. None of the other vehicles did this, and the ones that tried did not compare. With so much completion you must do extras to standout and Gosheni did, I felt so spoiled the entire trip and although our driver was nervous about me seeing the crossing he delivered 2x. One crossing lasted almost 45 minutes, the other drivers were going nuts saying how awesome it was, and if they were excited you know it was not an average crossing. I will not soon forget my experience in this amazing country and Gosheni made everything so worry-free and easy. Save yourself the $$$ and give Peter Robert a chance, you will not be disappointed. His companies motto is not advertising nonsense it is so true, expect the unexpected

excellent service from the first day of contact to the day we left Tanzania.
We can recommend Gosheni Safaris for its excellent service. We contacted with Gosheni by e-mail and from the first momento they offered us different alternatives deppending on our Budget. Payment was not a problem, we paid 30% to confirm the safari and the rest directly on arrival. The car was completely new (only 4500 km) and the guide Fuah that was with us during 7 days was the best guide we ever had, with excellent Spanish and really good knowledge of all the animals and places. We had an unlimited millage safari and Fuah was always happy to answer to our questions and trying his best to find the BIG FIVE and he did not stot until we saw them !! Hotels were also very good and picnics excellent, even some days they suprised us with some wine. We had unlimited water and sodas during the safari. Special thanks to Fuah for this unforgettable week !!

wiliam the best tour guide
williamaugusti.
We booked a trip through Leo Leon Safaris Israel. I traveled a lot around the world and I love to acquire extensive knowledge before special excursions including local tour guides, I learned on safari in Tanzania, and had only one condition, first class tour guide.
In Arusha Kilimanjaro Airport we met William Agostino our guide, and it turned out to be the best thing that happened to us on a trip. We had join to one of the best guides in Tanzania, charming and pleasant person, with a lot of knowledge and professional and interesting. William was able to connect us to the place of his birth, to the country he loves in which he is proud, as a Masai , his senses and instincts with a lot of experience and knowledge, enabling us to be a part of an experiential journey above and beyond, as hunters in the wild and only with a camera. from the first moment he understood Who we are and according to that worked and went, we had with him once in a lifetime experiences and sure we'll go back only with William.
My Dear Friend William
Thank you for fascinating and amazing journey we've been through, I wish every traveler interested in Africa reach you. And waiting to host you in Israel

Great experience
We are a couple from Italy and we did a 5d/4n safari with Gosheni in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in August and everything was great. Our communication with the sales manager Pendo was very clear from the beginning, she made us an offer but was open to our suggestions and answered to all our doubts. The payment has been very smooth: a safe bank transfer deposit before leaving and the final payment with the credit card.
Once in Arusha we met the owner Peter who answered to our final doubts. Also at the very last moment we found 3 people joining us in order to have more fun and save some money. As promised Peter gave us back the difference for a 5 people Safari.
Erasto, our guide, was very friendly and informative. We had a lot of fun with him and we also learnt a lot about the animals, the parks and about Tanzania. I can say we found a true friend!
We saw tons of wildlife: lions (hunting!!), elephants, giraffs, leopards (9!!!!), cheetas, hyenas, hyppos, zebras, gazelles... and many more.
The car is very good: spaceful with a full openable roof, new tires, camera/phone charger, fridge full of water. Food is good and the tends for the public campings are confortable enough.
We also stayed 2 nights in Serengeti Acacia Camp. The rooms are big tends with a luxury bed and bathroom. The atmosphere ot the tentet camp is gorgeous and the restaurant excellent.
