Amazing experience and well prepared
Norah was fantastic in assisting with the planning, and our guide, William, was incredible. He has an exceptional talent for finding animals. He was incredibly patient with us, helping us get into the perfect positions for photographs. I highly recommend William as a guide and Gosheni as the tour operator.

Impressive
We chose Gosheni after seeing raving reviews and decided to choose them as we believe they are worth the price.
Operational was a little bit disappointment as we met with some issues during the tour. However, their person in charge do step up and assist to solve all the issues.
Even to the extend of driving a new jeep to Serengenti to switch our jeep which is another 8hrs drive. This can show that they really take care of their customers and sincerely do want to solve all the problems to ensure you have a good trip.
We were assigned to Inno Marufu in Tanzania and he can really drove in the dark and able to navigate anywhere. He did not mind when we wanted to end late to try to see more animals or even suggested us to leave earlier so we can still see what we want. Together with the long driving, its pretty tedious for the driver guide.
We love the stay in Lake Manayara however due to long journey, we always did not get to see or enjoy the hotel facilities. And it would be better if the person who suggested this route could have given a better advice on which route to be consider to take a plane or even staying inside the crater to reduce the travelling time.
Overall, we are still pleased with the service as the guide do show us what we see and also explain to us the crossing is not everyday and we tried our best but did not see them.
Most importantly, Inno respect the animals boundaries and did not cave in when we insisted to go nearer during the migration. He will always tell us to wait at the side so animals have their space and only go nearer when it is safer or we only can see from an instance. Unlike other operators, they dash next to the wilderbeest whenever they tried to cross and this cause the animals to react out of nature.
As much as we wanted to take impressive photos, being able to say NO to other guides and stopping them is remarkable.
They did not give in to tourism or customers or for money. They truely enjoy sharing the experience and the culture of Africans.
Thank you for the experience, we will love it more if logistic is less tedious and not so many hiccups. But overall, is fine. Enjoy the process and everything is Hakuna Matata.

William David is the best guide because he is experienced, knowledgeable, and thoughtful & friendly.
My husband arranged the safari trip for our honeymoon. He chose Gosheni because Nora (our coordinator) was very responsive and prompt with her replies. She scheduled an amazing trip for us based on our desires.
We were so lucky to have William David as our guide! He is the perfect mix, both knowledgeable (answering all of our questions), and respectful. He truly wants his guests to get the most out of the experience.
He has 18+ years experience and it shows in his driving and finding the best spots to see wildlife. He sets expectations ahead of time so you know what to expect which is really important. No one can control nature and guarantee everything you will see, but William exceeded our expectations and we were thrilled with the total experience. We got amazing photos and will remember this trip forever.
I highly recommend Gosheni and make sure you ask for William. You can feel confident Nora will take care of you as well. You are in good hands.

Let professional people do professional thing, best choice you could have!
We had a ten day safari trip with Gosheni, the time went by so quickly because everything was taken care of in a good manner. We were totally happy with the schedule, the hotel, the warm food everyday for lunch. Beyond all that we had an amazing guide Shabani, he is a real treasure for the company and whoever will have him as a guide is so luck to be in good hand. He has good eyes to spot wildlife, he knows so much about everything and is always sharing what he knows. We saw so many cars break down or trapped on the way, but we never had any issue because Shabani drives good and safe! From the first morning he showed up in front of us full of energy and passion, this lasted through out our whole trip. He took good care of us, of our things, and make sure everything is well organized everyday. Our Safari trip with Shabani was an unforgettable experience and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to travel to Tansania!

Absolutely amazing, perfect in every way.
An amazing experience! From the minute Ombeni picked us up at the airport, we were greeted with warmth, friendliness and an atmosphere that made us feel like we were at home. We started in the northern part and were able to witness part of the great migration as well as a small crossing over the Mara River! We then made our way to Central Serengeti where we saw cats, elephants, giraffes, etc! All our sightings were only made possible by our amazing tour guide Ombeni. He was able to spot animals that my husband and I could only see with binoculars all while driving through the bumpy roads! It was truly amazing and you have to book with Gosheni, and ask for Ombeni!!
