Incredible safari featuring amazing wildlife, expert guiding, and outstanding service.
Absolutely incredible. Our 9-day safari with Calvin from Gosheni Safaris was the trip of a lifetime. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, and saw everything we hoped for and more. Lions up close, elephants crossing right in front of us, cheetahs hunting and catching a fox, leopards, a rhino, and so much more. Calvin spotted animals we never would have noticed and always made sure we had the best view. What really made the trip special was Calvin himself. He speaks fluent English, is incredibly knowledgeable, and somehow managed to keep both our young kids and older family members engaged and comfortable every step of the way. He was kind, patient, and answered every question, taught us a bit of Swahili, and made each day feel fun and relaxed. If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, ask for Calvin. You’ll be in the best hands.

Excellent
We just returned from an amazing trip to Tanzania with Goshoni, based in Arusha. From planning with Marlene to our incredible guide Calvin, everything was handled with care and professionalism.
Calvin was outstanding — spotting animals we never would have seen and making sure every member of our family, including our two young grandchildren, had a great experience.
Our accommodations, sightseeing, and overall care were excellent. We highly recommend Goshoni for anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Highly recommend Gosheni/Calvin by Babu
My wife and I have been on several safaris in Africa. And our main goal for this Safari was to provide a memorable experience for our family. And Gosheni delivered big time. Our travel guide, Calvin, gave us a excellent experience. He was patient, very knowledgeable about the animals/birds and where to find them of which we have seen over 40. This is truly been an experience of a lifetime and we highly recommend Gosheni and Calvin as a tour guide.

Mr. Zadock is the greatest Safari guide in Tanzania!
We booked the 8-day exclusive Safari experience with Gosheni and was paired with Mr. Zadock as our guide for the whole journey--and we feel super lucky!!! He worked really hard to show us a good time... we saw the great migration and hit all Big 5!!! All family and friends at home are sooo jealous with our trip and are asking for booking reference to consider coming next June!

Best Vacation Ever!
Our family of 7 adults filled every seat in our Gosheni jeep along with our amazing guide- Inno. Our 1st Safari adventure was better than we could have expected. Inno was knowledgeable, kind, and funny. He answered all of our questions and gave us so much insight into the wildlife, plants, and culture of Tanzania. Highly recommend- Gosheni AND Inno!

Reliable professionals who you can entrust your adventures with!
We decided to go with Gosheni for our honeymoon trip to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Zanzibar because from the very start, their communication and itinerary were clear, thorough, and a good value for all they offered. Being able to work with one vendor to arrange everything was a real advantage. Gosheni arranged our regional flights, hotels, meals, ground transportation and tours, and were responsive to feedback and our priorities. They even helped communicate our dietary needs to each hotel (celiac/gluten-free).
The accommodations Herman & Team Gosheni arranged were all terrific (Kibo Palace, Enkirari, Naserian, Acacia Farm Lodge, Seyyida, and the Z hotel).
The food was tasty everywhere we went. We usually went for veggie omelettes and coffee at breakfast, and delicious soups + stewed meats (or fish in Zanzibar!) + rice + cooked veg at lunch and dinner.
We arrived with open minds and no expectations for our wildlife safari, and happened to catch the tail end of the wildebeest & zebra migration season. The scale of that was breathtaking in a way we couldn’t have imagined - a herd even crossed in front of our sundowner picnic one evening! We got to see lion cubs playing at dusk; grown lions in trees, having a meal and even mating. Elephants, giraffes, hippos, impalas, baboons, cheetahs, flamingos, dik-diks & “Tommies”…even a distant leopard & some rhinos! But the real star of our safari was our guide, Inno. Inno is an incredible driver whom we could thoroughly trust (thank goodness!! Some of the roads are very rough and narrow with steep dropoffs!!). He is also a kind, calming presence with unbelievably sharp eyes for spotting (sometimes at super long distances!) and a passion for conservation.
Our guides in Zanzibar brought a new energy to the last leg of our trip - Alley is a real character, and his brother Omari who drove us is super sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Stone Town, relaxing days on the beach in Nungwi, and very memorable sunset dhow cruise. I brought a book but honestly never cracked it open - it was just too fun and interesting to take in everything happening all around us.
It was the trip of a lifetime, and super helpful to have Herman & Team Gosheni looking after us throughout. Highly recommend.

Experienced, knowledgeable and funny
Absolutely amazing vacation. Inno was a fantastic guide; knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. He knew where to see the animals. He provided so much insight not only about the animals, but about the plants, terrain, and Tanzania overall. I would highly recommend Inno as a guide and Gosheni to plan your safari.

Great experience and hospitality from Gosheni
Our guide, Bariki was super friendly and helpful. He attended to all our needs and was very considerate during the drive. He provided great knowledges and stories about the wild lives in Serengeti. He was also very attentive to our needs on the way (ie finding toilets, food and water supplies … etc.)
Highly recommended if you’re considering a trip in Tanzania, make sure you book with gosheni and ask for Bariki.
