Professionalism and attention to detail makes the difference
5/5

Prior to booking with Gosheni, I had researched multiple safari operators with all very similar offers and quotes. Having just come back from a 9 day safari with the family, I am glad we decided to go with Gosheni.

The Gosheni team is a professional and well run team. Arnold, who works in the office promptly replied to all my queries. Erasto, our driver guide was waiting to pick us up when we landed in Kilimanjaro airport and ensured we ticked off the 'Big 5'. Credit also to Peter, the managing director who is very hands on and makes an effort to meet his clients prior to their safari to provide them a briefing and addresses their needs. My wife was particularly impressed with team uniforms and name badges which further promotes the professionalism of the company vs. other tour operators. Highly recommended.

Amazing African adventure!
5/5

Gosheni provided my son and I with the adventure of a lifetime. As this was my first international trip - I had soooo many questions and concerns. Peter answered them all quickly and was very patient with my questions. He also worked with me to customize the experiences to exactly what I wanted to do. While the company is based in Tanzania, he was able to plan experiences in other parts of the world through other companies. I didn't have to worry about anything! I just got to enjoy the experience! I can't say enough about how amazing this experience was and how incredible the service of Gosheni is...I highly recommend Gosheni! Dream come true! Thank you!

Perfectly well organised
5/5

Had a great time during our 3-day safari with Gosheni. It was very well organized from the very beginning to the very end. Our guide, Bariki, was very knowledgeable and patient and exhaustively answered and explained everything we asked him. Everything was perfect, and we’re already thinking about visiting other parks with them next year. Highly recommended.

Am amazing trip with Gosheni that creates memories that will stick for life.
5/5

We had a great time with 2 wonderful guides and brand new 4×4. All the family including kids and grandparents were delighted by the trip. We managed to see all the wild life we can think of. The accommodations in the different camps were great as well as the food. We enjoyed very good food for the meal in picnic area everyday. The guide managed to spot all the big five and we managed to see the river crossing quite late in the season. The guide were very good at driving as well, we felt safe all the time. All the Gosheni organisation managed to create an outstanding experience of Tanzania.

Amazing safari!
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Wildlife, Warmth, and Wonder – Our Safari with George
5/5

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.

A truly memorable trip — saw the Big Five and experienced the unique Maasai culture.
5/5

I booked my safari with Gosheni after a friend’s recommendation last year, and now I’m the one recommending them to everyone planning to visit Africa! It was truly an unforgettable journey where I witnessed Africa’s Big Five and learned about the fascinating Maasai culture.
Our guide and driver, Albert, was absolutely amazing — deeply knowledgeable about wildlife and incredibly sharp-eyed. He could spot animals long before anyone else, even those hiding behind rocks or resting under trees. Thanks to him, we saw all of the Big Five, including a rare black rhino with impressive horns — definitely the highlight of the trip!
Daily expenses in Africa were quite reasonable. Our camp offered delicious buffet breakfasts and dinners, and even prepared packed lunches for our game drives. If you have any food allergies or preferences, the camp staff are happy to accommodate.
Souvenirs were also affordable — handmade beaded coasters cost around $1, while beautifully carved wooden plates ranged from $30 to $80.
It was a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and culture — I’ll cherish this trip forever.

Ombeni,Best of the best!
5/5

An Unparalleled Journey, All Thanks to Our Angel-like Guide!

If I had to describe our guide, Ombeni, in one sentence: he was far more than a guide—he was the guardian, teacher, and friend of our African adventure.

Our safari in Tanzania was truly magnificent because of him. His eyes seemed to hold a living encyclopedia of wildlife. He could spot a hidden cheetah from the slightest movement in the distant grass, and would patiently take time to explain the wonders of a single acacia tree. His knowledge was astounding.

But what moved us even more than his expertise was his heart. He constantly wore the warmest smile and was always attentive to our needs. He showed deep respect for this land and all its creatures—always keeping a safe distance, never disturbing the animals, and sharing stories that helped us understand the importance of protecting this wilderness.

His professionalism, kindness, and passion truly embodied the spirit and warmth of the African people. Thanks to him, we didn’t just see magnificent sunsets and vast herds of wildebeest—we felt the soul of Africa.

It’s no exaggeration to say he is the best guide we’ve ever had. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, do not miss the chance to travel with Ombeni—it will be the best decision of your journey.

Thank you, Ombeni! You’ve etched Africa forever in our hearts.
