Reliable and comfortable
5/5

Very reliable, organized and safe safari experience.
The guide, David Mukami, was an extremely experienced driver, who was delivering us safely and comfortably along the long journeys. Also, he was very skilled in the bumpy streets of Maasai Mara, and he was always doing his best to let us to see animals from a safe and closer perspective.
The camps and hotel we stayed had good food, available staff, high security, spacious rooms and good locations.

An Exceptional Safari with Gosheni – Perfectly Organized and Led by a Truly Outstanding Guide
5/5

Our 6-night safari with Gosheni Safaris was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the entire experience was professional, smooth, and thoughtfully designed.

Flawless Planning and Communication

Our consultant, Herman, understood exactly what we were looking for — a well-paced, comfortable safari with beautiful camps and strong wildlife opportunities, but without feeling rushed or exhausted. He translated our preferences into a perfectly structured itinerary.

All six lodges and camps were stunning, comfortable, and very well chosen. The routing was logical, the transitions were seamless, and at no point did we feel fatigued by long drives or unnecessary backtracking. Everything felt balanced and intentional. The logistics throughout the journey were handled effortlessly.

The Hidden Gem: Our Guide, Huruma

What elevated this safari from excellent to unforgettable was our guide, Huruma.

With over 20 years of experience — and previously a ranger in the Serengeti — his depth of knowledge was extraordinary. Interestingly, he only shared his ranger background with us on the last day. That humility speaks volumes about his character.

Huruma is calm, respectful of nature, and deeply intuitive in the field. He doesn’t just drive around looking for animals — he reads the landscape. By observing tracks, bird movements, alarm calls, and subtle environmental signs, he anticipates where wildlife might appear. His instincts are remarkable.

He truly has eagle eyes — spotting animals in the distance without binoculars when most of us would see nothing. Thanks to him, we saw everything we had hoped to see, including several breathtaking predator hunting moments. Even more impressive, he always positioned the vehicle at the perfect angle for viewing and photography, without disturbing natural behavior.

Extraordinary Knowledge and Professionalism

His knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five. He recognizes nearly every bird species we encountered — which makes sense, as he even keeps a dedicated bird reference book in the vehicle. His passion for wildlife is genuine and inspiring.

We also traveled during rainy conditions, when roads became extremely muddy. We saw other vehicles getting stuck, but not once did we. Huruma’s driving judgment and control in difficult terrain were impressive and reassuring.

Every morning, despite mud and long drives, the vehicle was clean and ready. Hot lunches were prepared daily, and we felt consistently well cared for.

He is clearly respected among other guides and was always supportive and professional on the radio. His humility, experience, and kindness made a lasting impression on us.

Final Thoughts

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Huruma as our guide. He is truly a hidden gem within Gosheni — and if you have the opportunity to request him, do so without hesitation.

Gosheni organized a beautiful safari. Huruma made it unforgettable.

Perfect Safari Experience with Nature Responsible Safari Company
5/5

This company is amazing, everyone! To make it easier for our Chinese friends to find, I'm writing this again in Chinese. Don't necessarily choose companies with high review counts. This one is great; I had a fantastic experience, and the accommodations were clean and hygienic every night. Plus, because of the wonderful experience, I became good friends with my fellow travelers.

I highly recommend my guide, Steve. He's a very professional and extremely clean person. He took us to see all the animals we wanted to see. And he cleaned the car every night; his care for the vehicle showed you his passion and attention to detail in his work. This trip was fantastic. I highly recommend it!
This experience was truly exceptional! Ms. Francesca, the owner, was incredibly warm and responsible. She responded to us promptly and provided a detailed itinerary along with the quotation. When we met her in Africa, she was just as beautiful and remarkably capable as we had imagined.
Our guide, Steve, was highly experienced. Thanks to his outstanding skills, he made sure we saw everything we had hoped to see—we all adored him! The accommodation was excellent, and the food was delicious. Every hotel provided hot water for bathing and mosquito nets, ensuring we could rest completely without a worry. Highly recommended!

The perfect journey
5/5

First, customer service responded quickly and was very responsive. Even with a tight schedule, they managed to book suitable accommodations within our budget. Second, our guide, Assad, was excellent. He was friendly, humorous, and had amazing eyesight. He found us many animals, and his information was very accurate. On our second day in Ndutu, we saw a cheetah hunting, two leopards, over a dozen lions, servals, meerkats, hyenas, warthogs, and more. Furthermore, our departure times were flexible, changing daily, with the guide adjusting the schedule according to the conditions in each location. Finally, aside from the less-than-ideal weather, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

Amazing safari trip with amazing team
5/5


We had an absolutely wonderful family safari with Imara Africa Safaris.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and Wendy and Lewis were always kind, responsive, and attentive to every detail.

Special thanks goes to our driver Simon - he was fantastic — great with the kids, incredibly knowledgeable, and he made our whole journey both exciting and meaningful.
We always felt safe, relaxed, and truly cared for.

If you want a warm, stress-free, and authentic safari experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Imara Africa Safaris.

A team of passionate professionals who turn a safari into a once in-a lifetime experience
5/5

We spent five truly unforgettable days with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and we can confidently say it surpassed everything we imagined a safari in Africa could be.

From the very first interaction, Shedrack demonstrated a rare level of professionalism. Always responsive, detail-oriented, and fully available before, during, and even after the trip, he gave us complete confidence throughout the entire planning process. The organization was flawless: airport pickup in Arusha, seamless logistics between parks, strategic positioning each day, and an itinerary perfectly aligned with the migration season.

But what truly elevated this experience was our guide, Jacob.

His knowledge of wildlife is exceptional. His ability to detect subtle movements across the savannah, interpret animal behavior, and position us at the right place at the right time resulted in moments we will never forget. In Tarangire, Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater, we witnessed intense and authentic wildlife scenes, big cats in action, raw predator-prey dynamics, nature unfolding exactly as it should.

Nothing felt rushed. Every sighting was approached with patience, strategy, and respect.

It was also clear how highly respected Jacob is among the other guides. There is a natural, quiet leadership about him that becomes evident through his actions over the course of the safari.

The vehicles were impeccable: clean, safe, and fully prepared for long game drives. Every operational detail reflects professionalism and care.

Our accommodations were equally outstanding:
Under The Shade Safari Lodge in Arusha, Farm of Dreams Lodge, and the mobile camps Olmorijo Camp and Safari Haven Migration Camp, strategically positioned to place us right in the heart of the action in Ndutu. A special mention to the chef at Safari Haven — easily the best food of our entire trip.

If you are looking for a serious, experienced company committed to delivering an authentic, high-level safari experience, Meru Slopes is the right choice.

This was not just a trip. It was a transformative experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives, made possible by the genuine dedication of every person involved.

5/5

Really happy we booked with this operator. We got picked up from our hotel at the exact time. Our guide was amazing all around, very friendly, explaining to us, good energy. He was very accommodating to our needs. His driving was exceptional, which we feel very grateful for (seeing that some other cars got stuck in the mud). The communication with the operator was clear and very easy. Strongly recommended.

Suspension of time in a stuning location🕊️🫶🕊️
5/5

Never has the lodge motto " A hideaway into the wilderness " taken its full dimension than during my stay in such a serene environment. First of all I wish to make laudable comments about the logistics of my stay: I booked a Fly in Safari with 1 night @ Selous Kinga Lodge from Dar-Es-Salaam. I went to visit their Dar office and met a super dedicated Team. I was picked up from Sheraton Four Points hotel early in the morning and dropped at the airport. Upon my arrival a vehicle was waiting for me at the airstrip with a super professional game ranger / driver. From there we went straight into a game drive during the day. I saw quite a few lions at very close range as well as elephants & giraffes. The game reserve exploration was punctuated with picnic Breakfast & Lunch. Very good service and quality food😋. We reported to the Lodge at around 4.00 pm. I was warmly welcomed by the Lodge Manager who gave me a thorough presentation of the hideaway. There is a clear and exciting vision for the development of the lodge✊🏻🎯👏 . The Lodge Chef came to discuss the dinner and breakfast menu with me. The attributed mini villa perched on a tree was very spacious and well decorated. Dinner was superb with a nice bush fire to add to the authenticity of decoration. The quality of the wood furniture was out of this world🤩. In the morning after a quick breakfast I was collected by the the Game Ranger . He took me to the boat for a River safari. That was to me the highlight of the trip. Beautiful ride on the river with memorable visions of weaver birds nests, close encounter with Nile crocodiles, hippos and communion with nature. 🐤🐊🦛. A huge breakfast was served at the Lodge after. After a nice rest I was collected to go to the airstrip at around 1.45 pm. I returned to Dar Es Salaam via Zanzibar airport. A minibus picked me from the airport and dropped me back to Sheraton in Dar. Fabulous stay overall🙏🏻🫶🙏🏻

An extremely reliable local tour guide; everything was arranged perfectly and efficiently. The hotel they chose was also excellent value for money. They communicated with us beforehand about everything and even proactively checked in on our experience daily, a stark contrast to those local agents.
