Very friendly and made the trip comfortable.
The trip was very relaxing and enjoyable. The lakes were beautiful and it was a nice break from the city. Everything was well organized and smooth.

Excellent guide, resourceful for last minute changes and flexible to on site requests.
Tour guide Hoby is one of the best guides I’ve ever met. He speaks fluent English, is extremely knowledgeable about Madagascar’s flora and fauna, and most of the food he recommended was excellent.
A few days before our trip, we received news of a flight delay that could have caused us to miss our connecting flight. The tour manager was quick and flexible, helping us replan the trip and adjust most of our bookings within a day to fit the new schedule. This was incredibly helpful.
P.S. Don’t trust Madagascar Airlines’ timing. If you have a connecting flight, it’s safer to schedule it for the following day.

Amazing Safari Experience with Edward from Gosheni
We are thrilled to have chosen Gosheni Safaris and spent three wonderful days with our guide Edward. Edward has 16 years of guiding experience, so he can always spot all kinds of magnificent wildlife earlier than other guides. We saw nearly every animal species in just two days, including a very rare leopard.
He has profound knowledge of animal species and their habits, and he can even tell us the animals' names in Chinese. Moreover, he is extremely considerate, always perceptive to our needs and taking great care of us. To our delightful surprise, he has excellent taste in music, which made our whole trip more enjoyable.
In short, every arrangement was totally satisfactory. Thank you again for all your efforts, Edward!

Great-from 1st planning to last tour day! Benjamin is a friend now, good pricing, superb adventure!
What a safari! We were looking for a 7 to 10 days tour with some extra time in Tarangire and a visit to lake Natron, which was not available in any of the listed programs, so Gasper worked something out for us that included three extra days (private extra days, that is) attached to a seven days program and still suited our budget. After extensive Mail conversation with numerous amendments the program seemed perfect for us, and we confirmed our booking.
Best thing we could have done! Booking something comparable through a local Austrian (or German, for that matter) agent we'd probably have had to face about 50% higher cost.
And then came Benjamin, our driver and guide for the private starting bit of the Safari. We enjoyed those days so much that, after learning that Benjamin would be available we asked Gasper for an upgrade to private for the entire safari. The offer we received was extremely fair, and with such a nice guide we didn't think twice about accepting. And, boy, that was more than just worth every extra penny!
We had so many adventures during those 10 days we cannot even list a fraction of them. We saw lions walking up trees, we saw four(!) Leopards on different occasions, we were close enough to touch elephants and lions, Rhinos in the Crater, where they are NOT dehorned as they are elsewhere, and yes, we got stuck in the mud at Lake Natron (because Benjamin wanted to get us closer to the flamingoes without having to walk too far in the boiling heat there - we are both in our seventies). But that was solved soon and just added to the feeling of friendship.
After the ten days Benjamin was a friend rather than an just excellent and friendly guide and driver, and we are sure he shares many of the fantastic memories we took with us along with loads of superb photos and videos.
Gasper, Benjamin, feel free to use our pics and vids on your website - as we had discussed before we went on to the next stages of our two month trip to Africa. Keep up the superb work and take care of yourselves,
Traudl and Jochen

Great operator when touring Victoria Falls especially as a solo traveller
Victoria Falls is a beautiful and vast. Having Brown (on the Zimbabwean side) and Lucky (on the Zambian side) as your guides made it easy for me to experience it in all its splendour. They were informative, knew where the best views, advised when we approaching slippery areas and took really great care of me. I felt safe, which is so important when you are a solo traveller. They also took amazing pictures of me. Thank you! I highly recommend the team, not only for to Victoria Falls, but for any tours in and around the area.

Dream Honeymoon Safari
Booking a safari for the start of our honeymoon was a big deal and Simbaland Tours made it the most incredible experience. I was quite nervous but Maria was an absolute lifesaver. She was available at all hours of the day to answer my queries, provided huge amounts of information, and made the entire booking process completely stress free.
Once we arrived in Tanzania our driver was Jon and he was phenomenal. He was so incredibly welcoming that we instantly felt at home, it honestly felt like traveling with family. He constantly checked in to make sure everyone was okay and worked so hard to give us the best animal sightings. Thanks to his dedication we managed to see the Big 5. I cannot recommend Simbaland Tours enough and huge thanks to Maria and Jon for giving us the perfect start to our married life

Samuel was incredible! Very kind and knowledgeable about the animals.
Every aspect of the experience, from booking to actually going on the tours, was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Excellent, communicative and flexible
We did Kili trek with Everlasting in April and they were excellent all the way from the first WhatsApp message until the summit. Our guide Godlisten and his team were really good. Excellent communication. Wish there were six stars.

Thank you, Caleb!
We had a great time in Amboseli. Caleb made this experience special, telling us about the different animals we saw and the history of the park. And we were lucky, in the last hour we even got the elephants infront of the Kilimanjaro!
