Wonderful Safari Experience with Albert and Gosheni Safaris Africa
We had an unforgettable safari journey in Tanzania with Gosheni Safaris Africa, guided by Albert. From the very beginning, the communication and organization were excellent — everything was smooth, clear, and well arranged.
Albert was an exceptional guide — knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about wildlife and nature. He made every moment of the trip enjoyable and insightful, sharing stories and facts that brought the parks to life. Most impressively, thanks to his sharp eyes and deep experience, we were able to see all of the Big Five in the Serengeti and other parks — an absolute highlight of our trip!
The whole experience was seamless, comfortable, and full of beautiful memories. The service, reliability, and value for money were all outstanding. We truly enjoyed our time with Albert and would highly recommend Gosheni Safaris Africa to anyone looking for a professional, authentic, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

A truly memorable trip — saw the Big Five and experienced the unique Maasai culture.
I booked my safari with Gosheni after a friend’s recommendation last year, and now I’m the one recommending them to everyone planning to visit Africa! It was truly an unforgettable journey where I witnessed Africa’s Big Five and learned about the fascinating Maasai culture.
Our guide and driver, Albert, was absolutely amazing — deeply knowledgeable about wildlife and incredibly sharp-eyed. He could spot animals long before anyone else, even those hiding behind rocks or resting under trees. Thanks to him, we saw all of the Big Five, including a rare black rhino with impressive horns — definitely the highlight of the trip!
Daily expenses in Africa were quite reasonable. Our camp offered delicious buffet breakfasts and dinners, and even prepared packed lunches for our game drives. If you have any food allergies or preferences, the camp staff are happy to accommodate.
Souvenirs were also affordable — handmade beaded coasters cost around $1, while beautifully carved wooden plates ranged from $30 to $80.
It was a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and culture — I’ll cherish this trip forever.

Total professionals with deep knowledge on safaris! Much recommended
5 star tour operators! Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
We initiated the planning months before the trip with Leticia who was very communicative, with deep knowledge on safaris and responded each time very quickly.
We made a package for a six day safari plus 3 nights in Zanzibar, with all transportation included - the value for money of this agency was the best!
The safari was a lifetime experience, our guide was Sam (who we adore), he is a very experienced guide, he knows the parks like the palm of his hand and made everything easy for us during the safari - plus we was very eager to find the best spots for us to see all animals and a hive the Big Five goal!
Really really good 🙌🏼

I booked my safari tour with this company. Even before the trip, I discussed with the manager to coordinate my flight tickets and schedule so that everything would fit well.
On the first day, our car broke down and we had to wait for over an hour in the middle of the road. After finally completing the game drive, we arrived at the lodge only to find out it was overbooked — four of us had no room and had to be moved elsewhere. When I asked the manager, he said he heard anything. Dinner and breakfast were not going to be provided either, so we had to argue just to get them.
The next morning, instead of resting at the same place for another night, we had to pack all our luggage again and move back to the originally scheduled lodge. The day after that, we were told our accommodation had changed again due to some “unexpected” issue.
The following day, we thought we were heading to the campsite where we were supposed to stay for two nights. But one of the group members asked the guide if we were really going there — and only then did we find out it had been changed again. The driver didn’t even bother to tell us until we asked. The manager who I've been talking to didn’t even know the situation again. Everyone had to complain to their respective managers before we were finally allowed to go to the place we had been originally told about.
When we arrived, there was yet another overbooking issue — instead of the double rooms we were promised, we were placed in 6-bed rooms, and non-couples were told to share. When I asked the manager, once again he had no idea about the situation and just said, “At least you’re not sharing your bed”
On the day we were supposed to cross into Tanzania, there was no game drive. The car broke down again, so we had to wait on the roadside for a long time and then transfer to another vehicle. After crossing the border, we waited for several more hours before finally getting on the bus. When we arrived at the hotel, my name wasn’t even on the reservation list — I was told there was no room and had to stay separately from the rest of the group. We arrived later than expected so I couldn't go to the market for shopping bc it was already almost closed after check-in.
The next morning, I was told to meet at 6:30 a.m. to join another group for the Tanzania safari. The bus only arrived after 8 a.m., and I waited more than two hours before finally departing around 10:30 a.m. We had to pick up other people along the way, which caused even more delays. When we finally reached Serengeti, I thought we would start our game drive — but the car broke down again, and we ended up waiting in the rain for over two hours at the park entrance. We didn’t do any game drive that day.
The driver promised to make it up to us by starting early the next morning at 6:30, but he only showed up after 8:30 a.m. Because of that, we were the last to leave and had much less time for game driving, even though Serengeti park fees are extremely expensive.
The following day was the same — we were ready on time, but the driver came hours late again so we departed late again. The campsite was cold, the tent zipper was broken, cold wind blew all night, and I eventually caught a cold.
On the last day, we were supposed to do a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater and then head to the airport for my flight. The driver arrived late again. As soon as I saw him, I told him about my flight time and location, and he said he was aware. After dropping off another person and stopping somewhere for lunch, we started driving toward Arusha, but it was getting late. I kept reminding the driver and the manager that my time was tight. The manager reassured me that as long as I had checked in online, I would be fine.
However, after dropping others off in Arusha, they transferred me to a different car — and that new driver told me I wouldn’t make it to the airport in time! I was shocked and begged him to hurry, but he didn’t drive any faster. Despite my prior warnings that I would likely be late, the manager only told the driver to speed up at that point.
We arrived at the airport only after my plane had already departed. I had to change flight with my own money. While waiting, another guide came ti help and after listening to the situation, he promised I would get a full refund for the missed flight. I also saw him talking through the phone with the “assistant” of the manager in front of me even though I couldn't understand their language. The manager also told me via WhatsApp that he would help me get compensation. I had no choice but to believe them at the time. Because of this delay, I also had to rebook my next connecting flight.
The next day, the manager suddenly changed his words and said he could only offer a small partial refund, claiming he knew nothing about the conversation from the day before. Later he insisted it wasn’t his fault because transportation wasn’t under his control and offered only $30 “as a gift” — which he never even sent. Keep in mind, he was the one who helped arrange my outbound flight from Tanzania in the first place!
As everyone knows, safari tours are not cheap. People spend a lot of money and travel all the way here to see wildlife, but the lack of organization, constant car breakdowns, and endless time wasted picking up and dropping off other guests meant our actual game drive time was far too short.
Most disappointing of all was the whole process that led to me missing my flight, which completely ruined my following plans and cost me much more money — and the way they handled the situation afterward was utterly unprofessional.
I strongly recommend that anyone planning a safari choose a more established and reputable company. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience with Call of Africa Safaris!
This was my first time in Africa, and from the very beginning, Call of Africa Safaris made me feel like family. From planning to my very last day, the entire experience was handled with such care, love, and attention to detail that it brought me to tears more than once. Everywhere I went, I was greeted with open arms, warmth, and kindness — it was an emotional and deeply moving journey that I will never forget.
A special thank you goes to Anne, who guided me through every step of the planning process with so much patience and genuine care. She made sure every detail of my trip was perfect, and even helped me arrange an extension to Zanzibar — which turned out to be the perfect ending to my adventure. Through this process, Anne and I developed a truly special connection; she wasn’t just an agent, but a friend who made my dream trip come true. She’s absolutely the best!
When I arrived in Kenya, I was warmly welcomed by Margaret, who greeted me with open arms and made me feel right at home from the moment I landed. Throughout my entire stay, she was always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Her kindness and sweetness made me feel safe, supported, and truly looked after — something I’ll always be grateful for.
My incredible guide, Leon, made the safari experience unforgettable. His deep knowledge, passion for wildlife, and friendly personality made each day an adventure. We spent a week exploring the Masai Mara, where I witnessed the great migration, saw a lion kill, and even soared over the Mara River in a hot air balloon at sunrise — an experience that felt almost unreal.
From there, we visited Lake Nakuru, where I saw rhinos, flamingos, and a family of giraffes, and then Lake Naivasha, where the hippos rule the waters. Each place offered a new glimpse into Kenya’s incredible beauty, and I was in awe every single day.
By the end of my journey, the Call of Africa Safaris team truly felt like family. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for what they do made this trip beyond special. Kenya captured my heart, and I left with lifelong memories, new friendships, and a promise to myself — I’ll be back. Thank you all so much for your kindness!

A great adventure with Albert
We have good time with our first Safaris guide. We took many great pictures in Sarangati North and Central.
