Recommended safari company and directors
The company attaches great importance to the feelings of the guests, which is very good. It is very convenient for Chinese sales agents to communicate in advance. The lunch box with hot rice and hot dishes is very suitable for Chinese stomachs. Our director William was very good this time. He had good driving skills and took good care of us along the way. Even when we had a picnic outside, we were very ritualized and took pictures.

Wonderful 9-day safari in Tanzania
We did a 9-day safari as a couple and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. We had a wonderful, relaxed and really amazing time with Ombeni, our guide, and with the company Gosheni that organised everything very well and smoothly. The lodges and tented camps were great. Most importantly, our guide Ombeni was extremely nice, very professional and experienced. We saw so many different aminals, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, he knew all the places where to go. We also were very impressed by the wonderful landscape, he explained many details to us plus he solved our minor problems within minutes. We really had a great time together. We can only recommend him and Gosheni!

Exceeded Expectations
Last year my wife and I, having visited many wildlife parks Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, decided to focus on Tanzania. We wanted a custom private tour. First step was to find a tour operator. We decided to focus on Tanzanian companies using Google search. There are many, and we eventually settled on Gosheni Safaris Africa. My first adjudication filter was response time to my inquiry and secondly completeness of the quotation. Next was to call the top three; the deciding factor was that Galdys at Gosheni understood my needs the best, was very flexible yet candid enough to discourage certain destinations in my "laundry' list.
The tour itself was amazing thanks largely to our guide Hassan. One way or another he found not only leopards in trees but lions with their cubs. Cheetahs and lions feeding, black rhino and an amazing array of birds both large and small. Another highlight was seeing wildebbest in various stages of giving birth in the great migration. His was forever on his CB radio exchanging information. Gosheni vehicles are equipped not only with an inverter which allowed us to charge electronic devices but also with a Wifi antenna allowing us to go online in the bush: two big pluses. Hassan is a great spotter, an accomplished SUV driver and very knowledgeable about Serengeti's flora and fauna. All in all a wonderful experience thanks to a good team.

Thank Gosheni very much for the unforgettable experience.

Amazing Experience & First Class Service!
I just returned from Gosheni Safaris’ 11 Day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari – it was the trip of a life time. Gosheni Safaris provided a 5 star level of service! From the start, Gosheni Safaris was wonderful to deal with. We worked with Peter, the owner of the company who was always responsive and patient with all our questions. He truly knows his business and put together an excellent itinerary that covered all we wanted to see and recommended lodges that were above and beyond our expectations. Peter was also flexible to include some additional asks – 1) a visit to the Happy Family Children’s Village (orphanage and school) in order for us to bring the clothing and toys we had collected and 2) arranged for us to meet another Gosheni tour group by putting together a Gosheni Tours lunch at the Ngorongoro Crater. Gosheni Safaris provided a few extra touches not found with other tour companies – wine and snacks set up on a table awaiting us when we arrived at the airport in Arusha; daily lunches set up using china and real silverware; WIFI in the jeep.
We had an extraordinary guide, Zadock – he took care of everything. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and birds; a very experienced tour guide and an excellent driver (it was amazing how he knew his way around all the roads – even in the dark!). I referred to Zadock as the “mayor of the Serengeti” – he knew all the other guides driving by us! Zadock is a sensitive and caring person and extremely customer focused. He always wanted to make sure we were happy, found ways to fit in all our asks, would go out of his way for us (and anyone – he even stopped to help another guide with a tire issue; and provided instructions to another guide on how to find their way to a particular lodge) and made sure we had the best views of the animals! Zadock was the foundation for our amazing experience.
I would highly recommend Gosheni Safaris and would book with them again.

Wow! It can't get any better than Gosheni!
My husband, myself and his two sisters thoroughly enjoyed our 8-night 'Migration Safari during Calving' with Gosheni. Our emails were always answered promptly, our safari patiently tailored to our changing requests by Peter and his staff, and payments easy. We were met at the airport by our guide, Gabriel. He had waited hours for our delayed arrival but we soon learned TIA - This Is Africa. However, a late flight was the only glitch and nothing to do with Gosheni. We chose the mid-luxury option as we wanted en suites, but it felt like we were in luxury. The tents and lodges were all very comfortable, and though we were in the middle of the Serengeti, we felt very safe. And spoiled by the attentive service and excellent food and beverages, at each tented lodge or lodge. The highlight of our safari, of course, had to be our guide Gabriel (who looks uncannily like Denzel Washington!). Gabriel was experienced, knowledgable, friendly, funny and a good driver! He seemed to have a sixth sense for spotting wildlife - we saw so much from a lion carrying her cubs to wildebeest calving to a cheetah kill. We saw all of the Big 5 (even the Big 12), and dozens more species, some so close to the Landcruiser our iPhones even took good photos! Gabriel even had us singing ' Jambo...Jambo Bwana...' We were very glad we chose a local company and supported the local economy. So Kudos to Gosheni and especially Gabriel for making our Tanzanian safari so incredible.
