Unforgettable 12 day safari for retired ladies from Canada
We just returned from safari in northern Tanzania and a week in Zanzibar.It was a very exciting trip for four retired gals.Magda met our every need from start to finish. We had our own 4 wheel drive vehicle with guide Meleck.He was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and where to find them,also his driving skills were superb.Highlights were lions mating, 2 honeymoon couples we called them, and cheetahs hunting,3 brothers who worked as a team. Also lots of elephants, hippos, buffalos, gazelles,giraffes, baboons and even a couple of rhinoceros.Also a leopard and 11 lions up in trees.We especially enjoyed picnic lunches with Meleck chatting about our day. Magda was kind to arrange a visit to a medical clinic and orphanage which we were interested in. Tents lodges very comfortable, meals excellent, gorgeous views and conversation with other travellers interesting.Many photos taken.Last week relaxing at Blue Oyster Hotel on beach in Zanzibar,swimming and beach walking. Stonetown last 2 days, hotel charming ,great rooftop breakfasts. Thanks Magda, Edward and Meleck for an unforgettable holiday.

Amazing guide, amazing trip
We had a stellar experience on the safari designed and set up by Roho Ya Chui. Ute was very responsive to questions, and all the transfers between airports and camps were handled smoothly. We felt well taken care of. Our guide Manu was very knowledgable, personable, fun and patient with our million and one questions about what we were seeing. All the lodgings were lovely, the food great, the staff responsive. This whole experience was beyond my expectations.

uninterested driver
The driver I was with was very unprofessional and had no interest in showing me the true wild Serengeti. I saw more on my last vists in off season then I did in peak season. I did meet others who were having amazing sightings, but our driver was just in no mood to drive around. I felt that he was saving fuel. Also he would never stop in time when I wanted him to t to take a photograph. He did not have any knowledge of lighting either. He would talk back and was rude. It was like taking a driver from a city and sending him on a safari. He claims he has been doing this for a while , but in my opinion he was either inexperienced or uninterested. I would never use nor suggest this company to any of my fellow photographers. This company has just lost allot of business from me and my clients for sure.

Fantastic safari experiences
David in the Nairobi office did all the bookings for us extremely expertly. He also dealt with my numerous emails, each of which contained numerous questions. Thank you, David. Due to financial restraints my partner and I choose the cheapest accommodation. However, this did not mean that we lacked anything. On the contrary, everything was mostly good. Food was fine. Better than expected. I came down with a stomach bug on the penultimate day, but this could have been caused by a number of things... and not necessarily due to the food. Our main driver for the safari drives was Richard. Lovely knowledgeable man. He made sure that when there was something to see, he drove us to the appropriate place. At times there were lionesses with cubs merely feet from where I sat. Money can't buy that experience. Stanley, who drove us on the last 2 days was also very good. Learnt a lot from both these men. This holiday was due to my partner being 50 while we were in Kenya. In fact it became even more special when I proposed to him while we were in the Masai Mara. Certainly a holiday neither of us will forget.

An experience of nature and friendship
It was a very well-organized tour, studied in order to introduce people to Uganda starting from "darkness" (Bwindi impenetrable forest), travelling towards "light" (Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls) and a very modern city (Kampala).
The experience with Gorillas was unique, I will never forget it.
MJ Safaris Uganda provided a highly qualified, professional and capable guide for the tour, excellent accomodation and comfortable means of transport.

Jambo, Jambo bwana!
Dear Deo, Emanuel and Ombeni,
Thank you so much to give us a the best safari experience ever.
We made a 10 day safari in the north of Tanzania with a group of sixteen deaf people. I went along as the interpreter. Not only did they manage to tell us everything they know about the fauna and flora in the national parks, they also managed to really connect with their clients even thouhg there was a big language barriere. I especially want to thank the guides to be patient en repeat everything when things were not clear to me to translate. Also big thanks to show us all the animals we needed to see in Tanzania and answer all our questions we had on the Tanzian wildlife and human cultures. It was a tiring trip for all of us but they always kept smiling! Keep up the good work and maybe we'll meat again, maybe in the north, maby in the south, or maybe in Belgium ;-).
Kind regards

Professionalism and attention to detail makes the difference
Prior to booking with Gosheni, I had researched multiple safari operators with all very similar offers and quotes. Having just come back from a 9 day safari with the family, I am glad we decided to go with Gosheni.
The Gosheni team is a professional and well run team. Arnold, who works in the office promptly replied to all my queries. Erasto, our driver guide was waiting to pick us up when we landed in Kilimanjaro airport and ensured we ticked off the 'Big 5'. Credit also to Peter, the managing director who is very hands on and makes an effort to meet his clients prior to their safari to provide them a briefing and addresses their needs. My wife was particularly impressed with team uniforms and name badges which further promotes the professionalism of the company vs. other tour operators. Highly recommended.

For a great safari experience travel with Porge Square Luxury Safari
Customer service is the most important aspect of any service provided and for me I have to admit Porge Square offered me and my family the best customer service which made our trip very memorable. The staff are very attentive and polite, prices were very competitive and all in all I would happily recommend Porge Square to family and friends.

Borderless Company was for us and will every by like family!
Marco (THE CEO) had become in this trip like a big brothers for me, and help us in ways that money will never buy!!
We had done with them 7 days Safari and 3 days in Kilimanjaro tracks. and every thing was just perfect!
the driver was our guide (James) - he has eng as mother tongue, and his knowledge was amazing!!
every morning he planed well the game drive so we will exploit the most of the day, and he allows was polite and explained every this as much as needed.
one of the biggest tips in a safari is to have a good Guide as he will make the difference between just a trip to your trip of your life!
