Gosheni
We had an amazing time with Hassan Driver from Gosheni Safari. We learned a lot about animals and saw an amazing variety of African landscapes. We went to savanna, grassland, wood land, lake, saw amazing rocks in central serengeti. All this time, Hassan was polite, respectful, and did everything to make our experience unforgettable. Hassan is an excellent driver. The road to Serengeti is tough. We saw many cars broken down alone the road. Hassan is an experienced driver, and we felt very safe being in the car with him. Also, the car was in great condition, almost a new one. Accommodations were also good. Our favorite place was Signature Luxery Camp in Central Serengeti. And the best food was at Sopa Lodge. We also stopped at Massai village, and it was more than we expected. A lot of process))) a completely different mentality and a lifestyle. We highly recommend Gosheni and Hassan as a tour guide for anyone who wants to experience a great African vacation 😀

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Golden Trips Tanzania
After comparing several quotes for a safari experience, we chose Golden Trips Tanzania - and we’re so glad we did. From the outset, Leticia was incredibly patient and efficient, helping us craft the perfect itinerary. Not only did she tailor the trip to our preferences, but she also proposed higher-quality accommodation than some competitors, all at a competitive price.
Our 7-day journey began at Kilimanjaro Airport and took us through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, Eastern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and finally to the Northern Serengeti, before flying out from Kogatende Airstrip to Zanzibar.
Leticia handled every detail seamlessly, from airport pickup and safari accommodation to dietary requirements, park entry bookings, a hot air balloon experience in the Northern Serengeti, and our departure flight. Her organisation made the entire trip stress-free.
The accommodation she arranged was excellent: Heart and Soul Lodge in Lake Manyara, Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, Kumbukumbu Luxury Tented Camp in the Serengeti, and Ang’ata Migration Camp. All were first-class, though the migration camp was perhaps a bit remote from the Mara River crossings. You can find our detailed reviews of each on TripAdvisor.
The highlight, of course, was the safari itself. Each day we enjoyed full-day game drives in a comfortable, spacious private Land Cruiser with large windows and an open roof, perfect for wildlife viewing. The vehicle was stocked with water, soft drinks, and snacks, which was a thoughtful touch. Each park offered something unique in terms of landscape and wildlife, and we were never disappointed: elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest, hyenas, baboons, warthogs, hippo, mongoose, ostriches, storks, cranes, flamingos, eagles, vultures, crocodiles and countless gazelle and antelope species were all spotted regularly.
A special mention must go to our guide and driver, Edward. Engaging, friendly, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable, Edward had an uncanny ability to spot elusive animals and position us perfectly for unforgettable sightings, including the secretary bird, lions, cheetahs, jackals, servals and leopards, and even, in the distance, two elusive black rhinos. Thanks to Edward, we witnessed three major migration crossings over two days, a rare and spectacular experience. Each evening, Edward joined us for dinner, sharing insights from the day and discussing plans for the next. His passion and expertise truly elevated our safari—he was an integral part of what made our trip so memorable.

An amazing guy that blessed us with all his knowledge
Oldbeast Vacations made our first safari a dream, they planned everything according to our specific situation.
They were here on time and I could say a lot about the tour, we have seen many animals and Deo (our tour operator) gave us so many interesting information and facts.
We loved the cheetah.

We had an excellent experience
We had an excellent experience with our African tour guide George! Firstly, he was highly professional and a true gentleman, making the entire journey both secure and comfortable. Secondly, his daily briefings were exceptionally clear, and he adeptly adapted the itinerary to accommodate our requests. Furthermore, beyond skillfully guiding us to spot animals, he provided insightful explanations about their behaviors and habits, which greatly enriched our knowledge throughout the tour.

Great experience and very professional
We had a wonderful day in Mikumi National Park. Everything was perfectly organized, from the pick-up to the meals during the safari to the return transport. Our ranger, Kassim, was very friendly and told us a lot about the animals in the park. We saw all the big animals in the park and had a day full of adventure. I highly recommend the tour.

Most memorable adventure of my life!
Beyond our wildest dreams!! Thanks to our incredible guide Eric, who understood the animals habits and knew where they hung out and hunted, we were often within 6 feet of the animals: lions and cheetahs lying in the shade of our vehicle, herds of elephants and wildebeests meandering around our parked vehicle while grazing, zebras by the side of the road staring at us. The animals know we won't attack so they carry on their life as if we are one of them. Our greatest thrill was seeing the wildebeest river crossing, being close enough to hear their grunting efforts as they swam against the swift current. Eric also had a great sense of humour, which makes life fun as the 3 of us spent 12 hours a day together for 6 days. I strongly recommend African Big Cats for their prompt, thorough communication planning exactly what we wanted. They provided a perfect trip for a very reasonable cost. Their vehicles are pop-top which allows 360 degree viewing, and safety during close encounters with the wildlife. In the comfortable tent-camps we could hear the animals passing our tents during the night. A fantastic adventure.
