Excellent tour with Papa John 🦁🦏
We were incredibly lucky to have Papa John as our guide for six unforgettable days in Kenya.
He is incredibly caring and always wants the very best for you. He makes you feel comfortable and safe, both inside and outside the parks. Papa is truly caring and always goes the extra mile to make sure you experience the very best of the safari. Thanks to him, we experienced so many unforgettable moments: a lion climbing a tree, watching a pride of lions feast, spotting cheetahs multiple times, and even seeing a rhino just a few meters away.
Thanks to his perfect positioning, I was able to capture amazing photos with my camera every single time.
Papa John is relaxed, friendly, and truly a pleasure to be around. I also really appreciated his genuine interest in my photos. It shows that he has a real heart for both his passengers and for nature.
Papa John, I wish you and your family all the best. I hope you will enjoy this passion for many more years to come! Thank you for everything!
In short: if you are booking a safari, I highly recommend doing it with Papa John!

Shabani is the BEST guide EVER
I had an incredible private, custom safari experience for my 40th birthday, booked through Gosheni. I went with my cousin, and we were really happy with the hotels and camps we stayed at — each one was beautiful and the service was excellent throughout.
The absolute highlight of the trip was our driver and guide, Shabani (who also goes by Simba). He completely made the experience. Not only was he fun, personable, and kind, but he was also incredibly accommodating. His positive energy was contagious, and it was clear that he was respected by other guides too. He went out of his way to make sure I saw every animal I had on my birthday wish list, and his diligence paid off — we saw so much wildlife.
Every day we found ourselves saying how grateful we were to have chosen Gosheni, and more specifically, to have been matched with Shabani. From the moment we met him, he elevated the whole experience and made it feel extra special.
The food at most camps was really good. The Four Seasons was stunning, as expected, and they added some thoughtful touches for my birthday that I really appreciated. At Ngorongoro Lodge, the spa staff went above and beyond — my cousin was even able to get a massage after hours because they genuinely wanted to make us happy.
Also, the lunches we were served during the game drives were consistently delicious. We noticed other groups had very simple boxed lunches with sandwiches and fruit, but ours were full meals. That might have been part of booking the luxury package, but either way, we appreciated the quality and attention to detail.
Overall, this was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken. I can’t recommend it enough, and if you can, ask for Shabani. He made it magical.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We had a wonderful time on our 7 day safari which included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Samburu. John was an amazing guide who took very good care of us and showed us so many amazing animals! We saw baby elephants playing and rarely seen animals such as leopards and a cheetah feasting on a gazelle.

Mr. Maliaki (Mali) was a fantastic guide, with a very mature and inspiring respect for the wild.
We spent a little over 6 days with Mali (Kilipath African safaris), and had a wonderful time -- so much so that he was truly a part of our group. With over 20 years of experience, Mali's knowledge of the savannah and the wildlife was very inspiring. He took us through off beat paths which few other guides knew of. We had amazing sightings of animals (and ecosystems within which multiple species coexisted), and almost all birdlife in Tanzania. He told us a lot of very inspiring stories of his experience with animals, right from his days of training. Overall, if you want a adventurous and safe safari experience with someone who cares about showing you the wild in all her natural beauty, ask for Mali. If we were to come back, we would ask for him to be our guide again.

At paradise with Kalahari Tours
I spent three days two nights in the paradise that is Chobe National Park, guided by the fantastic and professional team from Kalahari Tours.
Our skillful and sharp guides, Free and Lance, kept us safe and informed every step of the way. The stories shared by them made the entire experience even more fulfilling and memorable.
MP, the wonderful chef, ensured we were well fed with delicious meals, and the thoughtful host, Meshack, made us feel right at home. Every detail was perfectly executed, making the experience truly exceptional.
We explored the park in an open vehicle, surrounded by awe-inspiring wildlife- leopards, giraffes, elephants, lionesses and many more - all watching us as we passed. Our guides gently reminded us to only step out for designated toilets stops, ensuring our safety while allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the wild beauty of Chobe.
It was more than a tour - it was an unforgettable encounter with nature.

Simple and honest company
We did a 4-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. The experience was amazing, though if we were to do it again, we’d definitely spend 3 full days in the Serengeti — the drive is long, but absolutely worth it and deserves more time.
A special mention goes to Elly, who took care of us from the start. He is genuinely honest and kind, and his helpfulness is not driven by expectations of tips, but by a real desire to make sure you have a great experience. That kind of sincerity is rare and truly appreciated.
We would absolutely recommend this company.
