Honeymooner luxury safari
Gosheni
For our honeymoon, we chose Gosheni for a week safari in Tanzania. For contact, questions and contract we were in talk with Pendo which answered every question straight away, created a custom safari trip for our budget and was really easy and cool to talk with. Big up for Pendo for making this that easy.
When it comes to the actual safari, we had as our driver, Laban, and truly he was exceptional. He was more than welcoming, easy to talk with, always on time and really knowledgable about all parks and routes. With his expertise we saw more than most people: lions, multiple cheetahs, leopard and even a rhino ! Every lunch we had, he prepared a romantic table and we felt like we were at the restaurant. I can truly recommend Laban as your guide, you will not be disappointed.
Overall, amazing experience at Gosheni, from booking to the actual safaris, don’t hesitate and go with them!

Ombeni is nothing less than the most perfect tour guide I've ever had!!!
Gosheni Safaris was great from the moment I was in communication with Peter to the day we landed in Arusha! Our tour guide picked us up and took us to our hotel where we relaxed before the start of the first day of our safari. We did the 5-day luxury package and it truly is a luxurious experience and it could have only been so with the great execution of our guide Ombeni! The entire experience was 100% worth every dollar I spent and I definitely will come back again, as long as Ombeni is my guide! I was told from online sources to go into the safari with low expectations because nature does its own thing and there's a chance that you won't see much, but honestly, if you have an experienced tour guide like Ombeni, you will see more than you could imagine. I never in my life imagined seeing the wildlife that I saw, while also being so close!

Unforgettable impressions!
My friend we started to ask for quotations while beeing in Tanzania and although Gosheni was not the cheapest the manner of communication and offering from beginning matched our expectations. We´ve choosen a 5day/6nights comfort northern safari tour and we got unforgettable impressions. We travelled alone in the comfort jeep with our friendly and qualified guide who explained short and informative without beeing intrusive and always with an good eye for everything. We saw everything the African wildlife offers in the different parks but the absolute highlight has been the Serengeti tour. Our guide payed attention to everything and served the patience to give us the space joining landscapes and wildlife fully. All accomodations and service was awesome and last but not least our guide at the end helped us to manage getting the PCR- test in Tanzania what just now is necesarry for travellers. We started as strangers and ended just like family so many thanks to Gosheni Safaries and to you Ombeni!

Gosheni Safaris and Guide William are Excellent
We had a private 8 day Serengeti safari with Gosheni Safaris Africa and guide William - what a spectacular, excellent, and incredible experience. Gosheni had the best prices, itinerary, jeeps and guide - William - who is outstanding.
We toured many areas: Tarangire, Lake Natron, North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. With sharp eye William, we saw the Big 5: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. We saw thousands of wildebeest cross the Mara River, not just once, but twice. Saw hundreds of other animals including a live hurt wildebeest being attacked by a hyena. Thanks to owner, Peter, Gosheni safaris included fabulous accommodations - the finest glamping experience and great food. Besides the amazing game drives, we also toured a Maasai village, went on a hot air balloon ride, and canoed Lake Manyara. We will definitely return to Tanzania and request William of Gosheni Safaris!

We made a memory that will never be tarnished!
This was our first time in Tanzania and even in Africa. So we wanted to go for Safari with the right company and right tour guide as well. After searching a bit, we was sure to do it with Gosheni and our guide should be Ombeni! After 8 days Safari experience, now we know we choose the right company and tour guide.. Ombeni made an unforgettanable memory for us, we saw African big 5 for several times and we had great photos with these wild animals.. As you see, we are crazy people who are travelling during this Covid pandemic! Ombeni and Gosheni made everything very easy for us! He sterilized all the car and reminded us to do the same.. We stayed at very nice camps, all staff and the food were amazing.. If you would like to go for Safari, do it with Gosheni and ask for Ombeni as a tour guide. It is %100 guarantee that you will enjoy a lot and be happy! We came as a client and leaving as friends! Thank you Ombeni!!

Unforgettable experience and guide LABAN
Thank you Peter for your compassion and understanding when my sister was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Thank you Pendo for planning our trip twice.
Most of all, thank you LABAN for implementing our safari above and beyond our expectations. Who else would greet his guests at the airport with wine, snacks and a beautiful smile. Each day was better than the last. His energy was boundless, his knowledge extensive and his personality was fantastic. There wasn’t anything we asked that he couldn’t accomplish. Each day the
Jeep was washed and was meticulous. Laban
absolutely loves his job and praises the company he works for....GoSheni. We arrived as guests and we are leaving as family.

Excellent, out of this world experience!
If you want a wonderful and absolute perfect Safari experience, do not look any further.
We used Gosheni for our trip to Arusha, Tarangire and Seregenti last year and could not have been any happier. We put our trust in all their good reviews on Tripadvisor and it definitely paid off.
Before we even booked our trip, we exchanged countless emails with Peter. We were able to craft a completely custom 11 day trip, based on his recommendations, our requests and recommendations from fellow Tripadvisor users. Peter was always very patient, extremely helpful and fast to respond. My wife is also severely allergic to gluten (celiac disease) and we had to make sure that she is well taken care of. He reached out to all the lodges and also provided us their names & contact information, so that we can also discuss our concerns directly with them. All of them did a fantastic job and the lodges they recommended were wonderful. She did not get sick!
Our guide, Hubert, went completely out of his way to ensure we are having the time of our life. He took care of us like we were family. Thanks to him we saw the big 5 and lots of other incredible animals. We took over 6,000 pictures and still have not sorted through them all.
During our stay we also learned that Peter used to be a guide himself, before he started his own company. He still embraces that role today and takes very good care of everyone, incl. his guides - which is not necessarily given in this industry. The vehicles that Gosheni is using are very new, comfortable and well equipped custom safari jeeps with power outlets, a cooler with various drinks, coffee, tea, Wifi etc. We could not have asked for more!
When we had an issue at one of the camps that we booked (based on the camp's Tripadvisor reviews), Peter, Hubert and their office immediately came to our rescue and secured us a fantastic, brand-new lodge nearby. We even got to meet the owner, who owns over a dozen lodges in Tanzania, and got to hear his incredible story.
This trip was an out of this world experience that we will cherish forever. It is definitely worth it. We have recommended Gosheni to several coworkers, friends & family members and would not hesitate to book with them again.
Asante sana, Peter & Hubert! Until we meet again!
