Excellency in tour planning, knowledgeable tour guide and a remarkable customer service
Unforgettable memories of a visit to a big five park in Rwanda with an experienced and professional guide, his service, communication and tracking of the animals were exceptional.

Surreal, incredible, breathtaking!
We had an amazing time with Gosheni and loved that from the moment we reached out they were able to help us customise the experience to meet our needs.
We saw Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks over a week.
Our tour guide, Ombeni was very knowledgeable and was dedicated to helping us find animals. We would give him a "wish list" and even though it's largely up to chance he was resourceful to take us to the best spots. Often, we were the first vehicle to arrive at a destination and enjoyed watching the animals all by ourselves before the crowds arrived. This really made a difference in our experience.
The accommodation was also very comfortable and staff were friendly and hospitable.
So many "pinch me" moments like watching lions, cheetahs up close, being surrounded by elephants and observing acts of nature.

Professional and experienced
The seeing a lion around the car was one of the experiency I had, special thanks to our guide who never give up to track animals when hiden.....seing the giant elephant at the last minutes while exiting was super!
Great safari

An unforgettable experience
We had the most magical time with Gosheni and our wonderful guide Ombeni. He did everything in his power to ensure our experience was as good as it could be, from his skillful driving, to his insanely sharp eagle eye and sharing his deep knowledge of all of the different wildlife. We would highly recommend Gosheni and Ombeni for any future safaris!

Informative, easy to work with, and dedicated
Tanzania is a magical place, and Ombeni made the trip and experience even more of a life-changing experience than I expected. Over the course of 6 days, we traversed tarangire, ngorongoro crater, and the serengeti, and saw the big five and many cats.
Ombeni was an incredibly knowledgeable guide and it was clear he is very passionate about the animals and the parks. He navigated us expertly, and pointed out all the wildlife even those that were hidden. His instincts were supernatural and he singlehandedly made our experience unforgettable and epic.
As a whole, Gosheni made our dreams come true; they were worth every penny.

Totally professional, amazing service.
As a frequent visitor to Africa and former professor of parks and tourism, I found Hope Tours to be the best. They were totally professional, communicated openly, and had insights and access to some of the most iconic wildlife viewing in the world!

Jocky Tours was professional, kind, organized and our guide had a wealth of information.
We did the 6 day mid-range safari which included Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru, and Amboseli. All of the hotels were gorgeous and comfortable with great food! The staff were welcoming and always helpful. We had James as our primary guide and a trainee, Jeff, in Amboseli. Both James and Jeff were kind and professional. James always had the best scoop on finding the animals we wanted to see and he was so good at setting up the best photo/ viewing angles! This tour is a TON of driving and the parks are all located at least 5 hours drive apart from one another, plus all day in the truck game drives on very bumpy roads. That being said, James was great at accomidating lots of bathroom and snack breaks! Overall, it was 1000% worth it and such an amazing tour! We hope to come back with our kids someday! Thank you James for making it so exceptional!!

Excellent 6 Day Safari
Our guide James was excellent! He was very kind and got us some incredible views -- often before the other trucks arrived. He was one of the first trucks to pull up to a pride of lions eating their dinner and they were just feet from the truck! We managed to see 4 of the Big 5 (Leopard, Lion, Buffalo, Elephant) in under 24hrs -- all at Maasai Mara. The Black Rhino was much more difficult to find but we did eventually find some at Lake Nakuru NP though they were off, away from the paths. We also loved Amboseli NP. We must have seen over one hundred elephants. They would cross the road right in front of our truck! Highly worth it, very much recommend. The rooms at the Mid-Range Tier were exceptional and my wife and I both felt we got so much bang for our buck ($)! 5 Stars.

Eric and Jasmine provide the ultimate in service and attention to detail. Every aspect of our experience reflected their touch and commitment to an absolutely awesome and memorable experience. I could not more enthusiastically recommend Hope Africa Tours and will without hesitation use them again and again.
