A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari with Edward – Absolutely Unforgettable!
My family and I (6 of us) had the incredible opportunity to take a custom-designed, 8-day safari with Edward Massaki—an exceptional guide with over 16 years of experience. From the moment we met Edward in Arusha, we knew we were in great hands. We spent a meaningful first day there learning about local life and culture, before heading out to explore Tarangire National Park (2 days), Lake Manyara (1 day), Ngorongoro Crater (1 day), and finally the Serengeti (4 days).
To say the trip was amazing is truly an understatement. We witnessed unforgettable sights—lions hunting, a leopard right next to our jeep, and even two dramatic wildebeest/zebra migrations crossings—thanks entirely to Edward’s expertise and intuition. He constantly read the land and animal behavior, positioning us in the right place at the right time while many other jeeps missed the moment. One standout experience was watching a stunning wildebeest crossing happen right in front of our vehicle, all because Edward patiently waited while others gave up and left. His deep knowledge of nature and calm confidence made all the difference.
But what truly set this trip apart was Edward himself. He wasn't just a guide—he was truly an ambassador for Tanzania. His warmth, generosity, and passion shone through every day. Knowing we were as interested in the people of Tanzania as we were in the wildlife, he helped us connect with locals in meaningful ways—like getting us in to witness a soccer practice in Arusha and engaging in open, thoughtful conversations about Tanzanian culture, politics, history, music, and family. He even taught us Swahili along the way! Sharing meals and stories with him was a highlight of the trip, and my 5-year-old daughter lit up every time she saw him.
Edward delivered us safely through every part of this adventure, always with a smile, a laugh, and a generous heart. He embodies everything we came to admire about the Tanzanian people we met along the way.
You may only get one trip like this in your life—and if that’s the case for us, we are so grateful that Edward was the one to lead it. Asante sana, Edward, and thank you to Gosheni Safaris for giving us a trip we will never forget.

Extremely knowledgeable, kind, professional
Bariki and James were our 2 drivers for our group of 11. Bariki was extremely knowledgeable and just as enthusiastic as we were to see all of the amazing wildlife. He educated us on animal behaviors, what volume of species lived in which environment, and could identify every animal and bird we saw. We were served fantastic lunches, and escorted into each evening accommodation. Clear briefings were provided nightly on what to expect and when to meet the next morning.
He was able to help us organize an additional coffee tour as we had time prior to our departure to the airport.
James was with a group teens and joked with them as well as educated them on the local sightings.
We felt very confident having these two guides and had a fantastic safari experience. Of note, both were fluent in English.

Peter, from Gosheni Safaris gave us one of the best days in africa.
We started with a good briefing about our personalized safari. Then we arrive to Tarangire where the food that Gosheni delivered was pretty tasty. Also, the vehicle was in good conditions. Then we arrive to the lodge selected by them, that more that i expected. Next day we went to a masai village and a safari to Lake Manyara. The lodge that night and the day trip to Ngorongoro was pretty fun, as we were able to start our day at the time that we want, finishing that day earlier than the other ones. Peter, our guide has plenty of knowledge not only about the animals that we have seen, also about tribes and cultural related topics. Finally, our experience was unforgetable, because our guide was cautious with us and the nature.

Gosheni delivers an exceptional and unforgettable safari
Now I understand why Gosheni has such high ratings! The most important part of a safari is the guide, and we were lucky to be assigned two excellent guides: Andrew and Habibu. Andrew is simply a walking encyclopedia of animals – he led us to dozens of different species and shared fascinating insights about animal behaviors. He's also a bird expert who helped us identify and photograph many beautiful birds. Moreover, he’s a skilled photographer who took amazing pictures for us. I’d like to thank them for their outstanding efforts!
