Great safari tour with Gosheni and Ombeni as a guide
I am lucky that I chose Gosheni and Ombeni was my guide. Me and my husband had an amazing time and saw a lot within 6 days. It was an unforgettable experience. It was our first time in Africa doing safari.
Ombeni is an amazing guide, very knowledgable, always ready to help, with positive attitude and very good in spotting wild animals for us like cheetahs, lions and rhinos that was not that easy to spot. Additionaly, our lunches in parks were always amazing, well prepared and served by Ombeni.
We stayed in Acacia lodges, which looked great, had friendly staff and were well equipped. We felt very safe and welcomed.
We totally recommend Gosheni for the safari trip and Ombeni is the best guide!

nothing to complain, was all perfect
We booked the 5 day safari Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater as shared tour and simple lodging.
We found and compared so many companies beforehand. Safari Soles Tours appealed to us because it was the only one of the companies we saw that listed what the money that is paid is used for. So we contacted them. Bryson responded immediately and answered every question promptly and accurately. He gave us another proposal that ended up with us paying less and getting more out of it. At all hours he answered our questions. Everything was super organised from start to finish and absolutely nothing went wrong. Transfers to and from the airport (even days after the safari), day trips, accommodation - all included. Very well organised, nothing went wrong and paid a very very good price for all the services included.
We even met Bryson, the manager. He took his time to meet us personally and wanted to know us as well and if everything goes well with the things planned. Very kind!
Our guide Isaac was absolutely fantastic. He was so accommodating and made our safari unforgettable. We saw so much through his incredible instincts and perfect timing. We were very close to lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, wild beasts, buffalo, lepards, zebras …. He is very well read and knows extremely much about nature and animals. He was able to answer all our questions. Outside of safari topics, we learned a lot from him about his culture and the country. Everyday we had a real lunch such as rice, noodles, meat etc. where we others only had sandwiches or some fruits. We had so much fun with him.
The lodges were incredibly beautiful, with wifi and hot water. The service was perfect and the food very tasty.
All in all, everything was perfect!
Definitely recommend!!!!

Definitely recommend Gosheni!
What an adventure! We had a 6 day safari with Gosheni and it was amazing.
We had the best guide in the world - Ombeni was very knowledgeable, really good as spotting animals and very friendly. He spoke English fluently and was going an extra mile to provide us with a great experience. He was also a really good driver which was important given the roads were difficult to navigate. We had so much fun with Ombeni during our safari!
Lunches during game drives were excellent. Some tour operators provide sandwiches, but we had a 3 course lunch every day with hot and soft drinks as well as wine.
All lodges we stayed in were very comfortable with tasty breakfasts and dinners, as well as friendly staff.
Before the trip, Belinda was very helpful in organizing everything and answering multiple questions we had.
To summarize - I really recommend Gosheni Safaris!

Exceptional Service and Professionalism
We booked an African Safari adventure with Giltedge back in 2019 for travel in 2020 to South Africa and Namibia. Unfortunately, Covid changed everyone's plans in 2020 so we opted to delay until August of this year. Giltedge and Tanya was with us every step of the way, advising, recommending and offering various options in our rebooking. Even up to the last minute where our airline cancelled flights to South Africa a month before we left, they stayed with us in planning the trip. And as luck would have it the unrest in Johannesburg was a concern a week or two before we left. With Tanya's help and recommendation, we rewrote the schedule a week before with stays outside of the Johannesburg and an additional Safari in Savuti in Botswana! What was originally a two stop tour turned into a sight seeing excursion on the White River with a safari in Ghoha Hills Lodge in Savuti. Our journey brought with it because of Covid and traveling through 4 countries, multiple immigration stops and multiple covid tests in order to move through the various places including returning to the States. All along the way Giltedge provided assistance for our group and had people at every stop along the way to assist. This was a godsend. And the safari's? Excellent places with great customer service, exceptional accommodations and food to die for. And guides that were knowledgeable, friendly and always eager to help. I cannot say enough of the support and service we received from Giltedge. Special thanks for Tanya for staying with us every step of the way and to Murry for assuring us that it was ok in Johannesburg to travel through. You owe it to yourself to book a journey of a lifetime with Giltedge.

George was great to spend time with!
Andre was a big help in planning our trip to Kenya. Even when our E-Visas were messed up and we were denied boarding our flight at the airport ( YUP! We were not happy) Andre was able to help change our plans and schedule to move everything out a week. This was a huge help. Once that was all fixed the Safari was great. Everything was one time. Our guide George was great and a lot of fun to spend the week with. The camps were clean and food was good. There is a lot of driving both on Safari and between reserves, so prepare for a lot of time in the the car. However, the experiences are worth it.

Once in a Lifetime Safari!
My safari with Axis was an incredible experience! When planning my safari, Lennox answered all of my questions quickly. He helped me plan a safari within my budget, and he gave me the best price out of all the companies I talked to.
My driver, Khalifa was the best! He spotted animals quickly, I was able to see the Big 5, and he was always able to navigate through the terrain so I could get take up close pictures. Both Khalifa and Lennox checked on me throughout the entire trip to make sure I was okay.
I was able to see so many animals and beautiful places, and I was able to learn about the Maasai tribe. It was a once in a life time experience!!! I highly recommend Axis!

Fantastic tour with a group of spontaneous people.
I can recommend the safari with John and co with a pure heart. Perfect organization, everything on time, just a great adventure. Additionally, the fastest driver on the Serengeti Zuma and the best chef Adam made our stay a wonderful one. We saw all the animals included in the big five thanks to the commitment of our guide. We strongly recommend !!!
