We love MICHAEL!! So articulate, polite and gave us so much history and insight.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael as our guide on our African safari with Gosheni, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met him, Michael made us feel safe, welcomed, and excited for the journey ahead. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and local culture brought every game drive to life — whether it was tracking the Big Five or teaching us about the migration patterns, he always had insightful stories and facts to share.
Beyond his expertise, what truly stood out was his kindness, patience, and passion for what he does. He made sure every detail was taken care of, always had a smile on his face, and treated us like family. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable sightings, including a cheetah hunt, a lion pride at sunset, and even a rare black rhino. It was magical.
Michael is truly the heart of what made our safari so special. If you’re lucky enough to be paired with him, you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Gosheni Safaris is a first rate tour company. Very highly recommended!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Gosheni Safaris. Norah was amazing coordinating our custom safari experience. She responded to our many questions and concerns and ensured that everything was seamless. Thank you Norah.
We were fortunate to have Gosheni’s best guide. Calvin has patience of a saint. He tolerated the hundreds of questions that we asked of him, sometimes more than once. He has a great sense of humour and a keen whit. His time management skills are superior as he must stay up cooking half the night so we could enjoy bush picnics the next day for lunch. He knows much about all the animals and made sure we had the best viewing spots.
Calvin is a great driver on washboard roads with ruts that we wouldn’t even think of driving on. We traversed through water crossings, through storms and never got lost once. He knows the roads and when to go “polepole.” He is an asset to all guide drivers as he checked on their welfare and safety or provided assistance to others. We ALWAYS felt safe.
We are fortunate to have had him as our guide. Thank you so much for everything Calvin and the rest of the team at Gosheni. You have made our trip of a lifetime our best travel experience.

Gosheni Safaris was top knotch!
Gosheni Safaris gave us an incredibly memorable experience. Calvin, our guide, paid attention to the little details that made a lot of difference. For example, providing extra charger when ours didn’t work or washing the windows clean for the next day safaris. He was a good communicator ensuring we knew what was on the itinerary and what to expect. We learned much from Calvin as he talked about the animals we saw and about the really cool Hadza and Masai tours. Calvin was a safe driver. It rained one afternoon and he drove through competently giving us a safe comfort in the trip. He cared about us have a fantastic experience, was safe, and was he was great.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari with Gosheni – Absolutely Unforgettable!
We recently returned from a safari with Gosheni Safaris, and I can wholeheartedly say it was one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. From the very beginning, the experience was seamless and personalized.
Our coordinator, Norah, was absolutely phenomenal. I had quite a few specific requests and questions, and she worked closely with me through countless emails to create the perfect itinerary. She was always quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and had fantastic recommendations. Thanks to her efforts, we enjoyed excellent accommodations and a well-thought-out itinerary that fit our preferences perfectly.
Our guide and driver, Calvin, truly made the safari special. He was not only highly knowledgeable about wildlife, but also so thoughtful and accommodating. For example, he brought a stool to help my mom comfortably get in and out of the vehicle—just one of many ways he went above and beyond. Calvin's driving was calm and confident, even in the most challenging terrain, and we always felt safe in his hands.
We enjoy a pole pole (slow-paced) safari experience, taking our time to observe and photograph wildlife, and Calvin respected this style completely. Our family, full of scientists, asked a lot of questions—about animals, ecosystems, plants, local culture—and he answered them all with enthusiasm, insight, and often a touch of humor. He was personable, engaging, and incredibly well-versed in everything from tribal customs to animal behavior. He was the perfect guide for us.
One of the highlights of the trip was celebrating my mom’s 65th birthday with a surprise picnic on safari. Gosheni went above and beyond to make it special—complete with a birthday cake, while watching elephants and baboons in a stunningly serene setting. It was magical.
I chose Gosheni after extensive research, in part because they are TATO-registered (Tanzania Association of Tour Operators), which signaled professionalism, safety, and high standards—and they exceeded all expectations.
From tailored itineraries and exceptional staff to beautiful accommodations and unforgettable game drives, Gosheni delivers a truly attentive, top-tier safari experience. I now understand why they receive such glowing reviews, and I’m thrilled to add ours to the list.
Highly recommend!

Great experience
We went on Safari with our driver Barik for five days.
Barik had incredible wildlife knowledge. He had keen eyes and with his help, we managed to see all the animals of the big 5 on this trip alone, and even a leopard.
We enjoyed it a lot.
Michael was an excellent guide who took great care of my family!
“The trip of a lifetime” for my husband and I and our 3 adult children. Gosheni provided an unforgettable experience with luxurious accommodations, delicious food and unmatched hospitality. Our guide, Michael made certain we saw “the big 5” and so much more! He fit right in with our family, and enjoyed lots of laughs playing cards and sharing stories. I can’t imagine a better trip!!

Incredible experience with Michael!
I cannot speak on behalf of the logistical aspects of Gosheni, but I can speak on the tour and our incredible guide, Michael! Michael was professional, kind, funny, patient, and knowledgeable. He was flexible and catered the experience to what we were hoping for. Michael always had a smile on his face and never complained, even when we were late (everyday). We were lucky enough to see the big 5 thanks to Michael knowing the parks so well. We will miss Michael and are so grateful to have had him as our guide! I definitely recommend Gosheni for your safari.

Our tour operator was extremely helpful and kind.
The communication service was extremely smooth. My family felt very comfortable the whole trip because of our friendly tour guide. I highly recommend using Gosheni and specifically the tour guide, Michael, who accommodated to every request we had. We were able to see the Big 5 and have a wonderful time on the drives. Michael knew everything we asked about the animals and plants! Overall, we had an unforgettable experience.
