Perfect safari with perfect guide
We (me, husband and 7 year-old son) have just come back from our wonderful two-week vacation in Tanzania, which we started with a 6-day private Safari through parks in Tanzania and ended with sunbathing in Zanzibar.
Due to the fact that we were traveling with our child, we spent a lot of time looking for the right company to go on Safari with - we probably read all the available reviews about companies, their guides, available accommodation, we exchanged a lot of e-mails - and finally we chose Gosheni Safaris whose offer seemed to be the best, and Peter - its owner, patiently and promptly responded to all our inquiries and made changes to the program as requested.
The choice turned out to be PERFECT - we have quite high expectations, but the way our Safari was organized far exceeded our expectations (which happened to us for the first time in our lives).
We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu, Serengeti, Tarangire. We also took a balloon flight over Ndutu. We stayed at the Marera Lodge, Acacia Migration Camp in Ndutu and Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp.
Everything was perfect but the best part of it was our guide - Ombeni - he was just AWESOME !! :) - smiling and full of energy, he picked us up on the first day from the airport, even though our plane was delayed by a few hours, and then was only better. We saw with him probably all possible animals (including big five): lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, wildebeest, various antelopes, monkeys, jackals, foxes, snake, crocodile, turtle , wild pigs, all kinds of birds, rhinos, ostriches. All the animals were spotted by Ombeni with his eagle eye. He wanted us to have a perfect view of animals and gave us as much time as we wanted that we could enjoy the view. We had the impression that he was happy with us (even though he had already seen thousands of these animals;)) He has a big knowledge (he graduated from tourism) about wildlife and Tanzania. He took care of all of us at every step, it was not even necessary to say that we need something, because he watched us and he recognized what we needed - it was amazing :) We felt very cared for and safe. In addition, we were very comfortable with him - which was important, because we spent all days in the car together :) Ombeni is also a great driver - we felt very comfortable, everyone liked his fast driving when needed (especially my 7-year-old). It should be added that the car was almost new, extremely comfortable, with air condition. Ombeni took care of the car, it was always clean, even when we were driving on the biggest mud. We think that without Ombeni our Safari wouldn’t be so perfect - we didn’t know before that the guide is so important (if not the most important) - so it is worth choosing the best one (I recommend Ombeni with all my heart).
We should also mention that the food during Safari was delicious. Also all the accommodations were great, especially Acacia Migration Camp in Ndutu - where the service was professional and wonderful - the top hotel staff should learn from them!
About Safari itself - it is difficult to describe in words, beautiful breathtaking views, wonderful nature and animals - you have to experience it. I guess nothing beats this trip.
We highly recommend Safari with Gosheni Safaris and Ombeni as your guide.

Amazing week - hopefully soon again!
I was on tour with Silverback Expeditions for one week and I loved it. Everything was so perfect - a fantastic route, the nicest hotels, a great guide. Everything was so easy and well organized. I travelled during the COVID crisis and had to postpone the trip once, but there was no problem and the staff organized everything perfectly and was very flexible. On the road I could just enjoy my trip and never had to worry about a thing, they organized some specials for me (e.g. a visit in a hospital and a COVID test at the end). I saw so many beautiful things, met wonderful people, saw a lot of animals. Would love to do a trip with Silverback again! Highly recommendable! Thank you so much!

Fabulous experience
This company is superior! Every aspect exceeds expectations, from the hot water bottles in bed when shutting down to the "bush TV" (campfire conversation / relaxation) with staff and guests to the expertise and the pleasant disposition of the guides - they knew where the action was and everything about the animals , their habits and habitat. Just a phenomenal experience. The food was 4 star or better, the accommodations 5 star and the staff was superior. No disappointments!

Fantastic Masai Mara experience
We booked the budget 4 day Masai Mara / Naivasha tour - it was a fantastic tour. The four day program was exactly what we needed. Our driver was great and drove us very safely through the difficult road conditions, also the accomodations were very comfy. We saw a lot of animals in the Masai Mara. The information about the animals and the landscape was, from my point of view, partly a little minimal. Driving on the difficult roads and at the same time telling something about the animals is not easy either.
The tour is absolutely recommendable.

This was my best safari ever!
This safari organized by Travel Africa Safari Agency was the best safari I have ever done.
We (also 3 other Guys) saw all the big cats, the Big Five, different herds of animals,
many big and small birds, birds of prey, flocks of flamingos and even rare animals l
ike caracal or serval. Most of them from very close.
Our guide was flexible and so we could choose our own wishes with him,
because we all were no safari novices and wants to do good photos.
And we were able to take excellent semi-professional photos and close-ups
from so many different wildlife animals.
The price-performance ratio, also with regard to the lodges, was very good.
And the organizers had answered all my many questions in advance without exception and in detail.
And also afterwards there was an analysis with the organizers to further improve the safaris.
In addition there were free transports from and to airport. Free overnight the day befor and after the safari in a hotel.,
And even a guided tour after the safari in and around Arusha.
So all in all a very professional and highly motivated safari Team.
Many thanks to the team, so keep it up!

Kilimanjaro via Lemosho route and 6-days Safari
Overall I had a great experience with 7 Wonders Tours on my Lemosho Kilimanjaro track and the 6-days safari (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara & Tangarire) the week after. The manager Evelyn was very professional and helpful before and after the tours. The organisation, the guides, porters, all staff, the hotels for the accommodation, all was very satisfying and well organised. It was a great experience and I had an amazing time. I would definitely book with 7 Wonders again!

Incredible
Oloolua Nature Trails Nairobi was our Destination. It has been a while since I travelled with a company that goes beyond its way to satisfy client needs. I couldn't recommend them better.
