Top notch experience
Our group recently had the best time with Gosheni Safaris Africa. We could not had been happier with our Driver/guide James. From the moment we met James , he welcomed us with his warm personality and smile. It was truly a blessing to have him lead our tour as he is Tanzanian and his knowledge of the landscape, flora,fauna and people made the trip enjoyable and informative. He was able to spot wildlife and provide us up close encounters which exceeded our expectations. We saw so many different animals in Tarangire , the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. We saw all of the big cats ! And we really appreciated his “Go Tigers” cheer since the LSU Tiger grads were in our truck. We already miss him.

Unforgettable experience in Tarangire and the Serengeti with Carlos
My group did a 4 day safari across the Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater and had a seamless experience with Serengeti Smiles and our guide, Carlos. The company was extremely communicative and everything was beautifully organized. The accommodations were wonderful and all had great food, and we received free lodging upgrades for two of the nights of our trip because rooms were sold out. Carlos was extremely knowledgeable about nature and history and helped ensure that we saw nearly animal we wanted to see. He spotted many animals that we never would have seen on our own. Ultimately, we had an unforgettable experience.

Geaux Tigers!
We spent 6 days with James and he was an incredible guide. Good natured, friendly and an absolute expert at animal identification. We saw lions, cheetahs, cape buffalo, elephants, a leopard, a serval cat, a black rhino, pumbas and all varieties of antelope. Thank you James, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Carlos was a perfect tour guide who had extensive knowledge of all the animals, plants, history, and geography of the Serengeti. He went out of his way to give our group the best experience possible. The communication with Serengeti smiles was excellent.

Great Safari Experience!!
We, a group of three couples from Canada, recently completed a 7-day safari with Jastro Safari, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Our itinerary covered the Maasai Mara (including a cultural Maasai village visit), Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five along with countless other wildlife, and each destination offered its own unique charm.
One of the highlights was the boat ride at Lake Naivasha, followed by a short hike that was both interactive and very informative—a perfect balance of adventure and learning.
A huge thank you to our guide/driver Bonaya, who was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly friendly and patient. His dedication to making sure we had the best possible sightings and experiences really stood out.
Equally, we are grateful to Jared, the company Director, our main contact person. He was extremely responsive and supportive from the very beginning, checking in regularly to ensure everything went smoothly. He even went the extra mile to help us arrange additional activities in Nairobi, including a Nairobi National Park tour and a coffee farm visit on our spare day—both of which were excellent additions. We cannot forget Victor who helped us in securing accommodations for the trip.
Overall, Jastro Safari exceeded our expectations in every way. From the seamless planning to the warm hospitality and the breathtaking wildlife encounters, everything was handled with the utmost care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, personalized, and memorable safari experience in Kenya.
Only thing we could not experience during this trip was the Big Migration; however, we understood that the animals come out as per their schedules not ours!!

Organized, trustworthy. Hakuna Matata!
I was so nervous leading up to and going into the trip (Mount Kilimanjaro 6-day trekking), but once we got there and were greeted the evening prior to the start of the adventure by Gadiel himself—it put me at ease a bit. The trekking was the single most difficult undertaking of my life and the guides, porters and support crew got us through: often times offering their support and reassurance. They are true MVP’s! The days were well planned out as well as the meals for each day. We decided to tack on a one day safari adventure in Arusha NP since we had an extra day to spend in Tanzania. That was all planned for us by Gadiel as we were finishing up our Kilimanjaro trek and didn’t have much cell phone reception. Well done guys!
