Excellent Safari Experience with Gosheni and our guide Dennis
5/5

My husband and I just had an unforgettable 8-day trip to Tanzania. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic experience with the tour operator, Gosheni, and the exceptional services provided by our guide, Dennis.

Dennis’s professionalism and courtesy made our safari experience truly remarkable. His expertise in locating wildlife and catering to international tourists was evident throughout the trip. We greatly appreciated his punctuality, as he was always on time to pick us up from our lodge. Dennis went above and beyond by organizing delicious hot lunches for us during the day, taking into consideration the prevailing weather conditions and our physical well-being. His attention to detail and experience in accommodating varying needs were truly commendable.

Regarding our experience with Gosheni, we were very satisfied with their services. Norah, our sales representative, provided multiple itinerary options and patiently answered all our inquiries. Upon arrival in Tanzania, we discovered that the itinerary was well-planned, and we were highly satisfied with the chosen lodges. In fact, two of the lodges surprised us by celebrating our wedding anniversary.

If I had to say, there were also a few areas where improvement could be made. Firstly, the lodge in Arusha on the first day did not match the promised room category in the agency’s itinerary. Secondly, there was some confusion regarding whether lunch was included on our final day, and Norah repeatedly miscommunicated on this matter. Additionally, it would be better if we were notified in advance of the detail arrangements (who will be the guide, when will we be picked up, etc.).

Overall, our trip to Tanzania with Gosheni was truly enjoyable, and thanks to the professionalism and expertise of our guide, Dennis. I would highly recommend Gosheni to fellow travelers seeking a memorable safari experience in Tanzania.

Amazing! Gosheni Safaris rocks!
5/5

Gosheni Safaris are the best! They were helpful in the selection process for the camps/lodges that would fit our price range and the best itinerary for the time frame that we were in Tanzania. Once in Tanzania, we were well taken care of by our guides. What an adventure! The hot lunches were very enjoyable. Our guides were the absolute best -Bariki! - Ombeni! - Francis! We’ll be back! Thank you Peter Robert for your guidance and your amazing team!

Best experience we could have imagined - Gosheni exceeded all our expectations!
5/5

Our safari trip with Gosheni Safari was absolutely amazing.
Herman from the backoffice was very helpful in answering any of our questions before the final booking by timely answering all our messages.
The designated driver for the airport transfer was waiting for us upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro airport with no delay.
The safari started the day after, when Huruma picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Gosheni offices, where we met Herman for tea and a short briefing about the safari.
As for the safari: We felt very comfortable and welcomed by Huruma's personality and way of being and that didn't change throughout the 4 day safari. Huruma is an extremely professional and passionate guide with many years of experience in the field. Due to his competence, none of our questions remained unanswered. Our trips started at the time agreed with Huruma, the truck was cleaned every night and complimentary water as well as food was refilled every day. Huruma's warm personality truly shows how much he cares about wildlife/animals as well the wellbeing and satisfaction of his clients. We highly recommend Gosheni Safari, specially Huruma as your next safari tour guide!

Excellent safari company with nice perks
5/5

Gosheni Safaris are excellent and trustworthy company. Their safari was excellently planned, everything was on time and we received a lot of unforgettable experiences. Also our guide Leben was extremely caring, knowledgeable and fun person who had this almost magical ability to spot all animals and keep all our trip on track. Hot lunches provided by Gosheni are also highlight as they were very tasty and everydau portion of hot soup was a life saver on some days.

Obviously I would highly recommend Gosheni on your safari adventure.

Absolutely amazing
5/5

We spent a couple of days with William and the whole experience was absolutely amazing! Somehow William was able to spot lions from hundred meters away with his incredible eyesight, without whom we would definitely have missed a ton of animals. Apparently he truly loves animals, and he is super knowledgeable about them. It might have been a normal leisure trip chasing the back of animals but William has made it a scientific tour for me somehow. He fulfilled all our viewing dreams (seeing a lion please, seeing a male lion please, seeing a cheetah please, seeing a cheetah on the tree please, etc). I think this was my once in a lifetime travel experience so far.

Wonderful safari trip
5/5

I recently completed a safari trip to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with three friends. It has been an absolutely fantastic trip! Although I had done safari in Kenya before, the whole experience has been flawless and exceeded my expectation from start to finish.

Cindy is the representative who helped us plan the whole itinerary. She responded to emails quickly and provides good details and suggestions, making sure all our questions were addressed.

William, our guide, greeted us warmly at the airport and the trip only got better from there. William is super knowledgeable in wildlife and knows where to look and find them. In the end, we managed to see all the Big Fives - even better, countless lions and multiple cheetah and leopard sightings. We are constantly amazed by his experience - how he would recognise the wildlife from so faraway; and how he knows the roads and tracks in Serengeti.

He has also been extremely thoughtful. E.g. we always have hot food for lunch instead of simple lunch boxes, and a nice picnic setup from the hamper. His car is also new and in great condition with charging ports and comfortable seats.

Overall it has been such a wonderful trip and we’ll remember it forever!

A Remarkable Tanzanian Safari Adventure in November!
5/5

This is my first time visiting Africa. The eight-day safari trip in Tanzania surpassed all expectations. We are so lucky to have William as our guide.
Despite the unpredictable weather, the safari experience was nothing short of magical. William's expertise and amiable nature not only ensured our safety but also enriched our understanding of the local environment and wildlife.
This safari was a perfect introduction to Africa, blending adventure, education, and cultural immersion. Our trip started from lake Manyara then to Serengeti, and we visited Ngorongoro before ending our trip in Arusha. William's guidance and the unforgettable experiences make it a journey I wholeheartedly recommend to fellow travelers seeking a memorable African safari.

Amazing Safari experience with William
5/5

We have had an amazing experience with Gosheni safari. Our guide is William and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our Safari trip. We had had concerns about the limited animals we could see with rain and tall grass, given we went in late November. However, William was a very experienced guide who knew every inch of the Serengeti national park and where to find the animals. We have called him our Santa Claus as our requests to see various animals were all met up. We saw lions and lionesses, in groups or alone, with baby lions and lioness, with preys or in sleep; cheetahs and baby cheetahs, leopard walking by the road or lying on the tree, dozens elephants crossing river, giraffes in family pack, hippo pond, buffalos etc. The hotels and camp sites were also phenomenal with yummy breakfasts and dinners and good services. For lunch, Willam took food boxes and would set up fancy picnics within the park. To our biggest surprise, at the end of our trip, William shared a video of all the joyful moments in our trip. We had no idea that he has been secretly documenting us and felt really warm-hearted and grateful to have him as our guide. We were really over the moon with the whole experience and especially with William and would highly recommend to friends who would like to experience the safari in Tanzania.
