The Quintessential Safari Experience - The Gosheni staff are Experts you can trust!
Firstly, Gosheni, Pendo and our Safari Guide, William, abide by their fundamental principle of “what Gosheni & their staff promise, is guaranteed - no question”
My mom and I are indebted with such gratitude to specifically, our Safari guide - William! The company and William have superseded our expectations for viewing an abundance of wildlife, gaining knowledge of the local cultural heritage and most of all - how accommodating the company has been with our requests. Additionally, William has, without fail, gone out of his way to show us the “Big 5” and so much more - even spotting the elusive leopard, cheetah and serval cat. Overall, he’s incredibly knowledgeable of the areas inhabited by the variations of animals in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongo Crater and Lake Manyara - we have learned so much more of the language, culture and of Williams’s family ties to the Maasai. Moreover, from accommodating my work crisis to allow me to set up my laptop in their office in Arusha, to scouting locals to find an SD card for my Go Pro, to helping with Covid-19 forms - we have received so much help, leniency and gratitude.
I only wish we could have stayed longer than the 5 days, William has come to be part of the family and has contributed ever so greatly to our lasting impression of Africa - I recommend everyone to book with Gosheni!
In the end, we were guaranteed our specifically requested accommodations, a very comfortable Safari vehicle, delicious hot meals in the bush, and really anything else we happened to ask for throughout our Safari. I encourage those reading this to allow these trusted individuals to provide you peace of mind and an amazing adventure. Happy travels!
Thank you so much William, Peter and Pendo!

Superb experience, professional organisation
With Shanjoy Tours and Safaris everything went super smoothly both in planning and in actual tour. We were in direct contact with Patrick, who helped us a lot to plan the safari tour (replies to our emails were nearly instant), and as well he was very assisting when we already arrived to Kenya. The safari tour itself was organised really professionally. We did not need to think of anything as all the aspects were already settled. We've been taken care in the best possible way. Couldn't imagine a better experience. We are very happy that we've chosen Shanjoy Tours and Safaris for our travel and highly recommended this reliable company for others too.

Safari Update Travels led by Silas was able to communicate with us in a more professional manner.
I would like to say my trip to samburu was value for money.I loved each and every experience that came by.From viewing the big 5 in samburu reserves to the swimming in Buffalo Springs was just an awesome adventure. Communication from Safari Update Travels tour guide Mr.Silas was preffesional and everything went according to the service he promised to deliver. I enjoyed my trip with them and definitely I must do a repeat with Safari Update Travels.

He was simply the best tour operator I have ever had and made my experience in africa flawless.
My experience with nziza hospitality was a dream come true. I loved every minute of my trip and will definitely be doing it again. I recommend Bernard and his services to everyone looking to come visit Africa, you will not find a better guide! He's the best in the business and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Just perfect
You cannot go wrong by choosing Happy World Safaris company
I had an amazing 4 days trip
I arrived to Kilimanjaro airport, where Joseph the director picked me up, then drove me around in Arusha a little sightseeing tour. Next morning Zebe the guide took care of me. Went to Serengeti passing by Ngorongoro conservation area and spent 2 nights there at KubuKubu.
Everything was well organised, and we saw so many animals but very less tourist/covid times and the end of May/
He was good to find the animals, was a good driver and was able to answer all questions perfectly and was super patient
Zebe just made my trip and a an amazing time, one of my best decisions to make safari in "low" season.
Also our itinerary was perfect and the lodges were wonderful Ngorongoro Serena Lodge has probably the best views on crater rim
Nothing wrong to say, you can only be happy by choosing them
And they are also very respectful about nature I haven´t seen any trash in the plains or inside the crater/this dos not applyes for the rest of Tanzania/.
After my flight to ZNZ Joseph was still checking on me if everything goes smooth. 12 amazing days in Tanzania, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Informative & ressponsive
We decided to do a somewhat Zim tour hitting Hwange and Vic Falls during the midst of the pandemic and had no idea where to start, what would be open and which activities/ tours would be operating. We were lucky enough to find Off2Africa to do all that work for us. Not only did they have all the updates and correlate all comms, they even suggested their own personal advice when we were left with more than one option (which was lovely to have 'choice' during the pandemic)!
In the end we enjoyed 7 nights split between Hwange and Vic Falls - everything was a 5 star experience. We stayed at the Vic Falls Safari Lodge Island Suites then over to Somalisa in Hwange. What a wonderful trip for us and we will never forget our very special time in the incredible county of Zimbabwe - all possible with the help of Chloe and Off2Africa team!

Be Prepared
The best statement I can make is that you really need to be prepared for your adventure. The biggest challenge I found was that I was not expecting the amount of travel time that was going to be required based on the itinerary. Because the infrastructure in Kenya is really not good outside of Nairobi, traveling from one park to the next often took 7 or 8 hours and in one case took 12 hours. Had I been advised of this ahead of time, I might have chosen to book smaller adventures, with a re-charge break in Nairobi, rather than stringing one park to the next next. I booked the budget safari, so I was not expecting a whole lot, and that was pretty much on point. I was OK with that, because that's what I booked. My guide James was fantastic, and really knows how to track animals. Because of him I saw the Big 5. A good guy and deserved every ounce of appreciation. Although I booked a shared tour, I was the only one in the group, so it made for long boring rides. I have no problem recommending this company for Safari, but just be prepared for long days, and early mornings, and consider shorter safari trips to different parks, rather than tying them together.

Amazing days in Tanzania
Traveling to Tanzania in 2015 was our first trip to Afrika. Our guide Didimus from Bushland travel was very caring and through the whole journey we felt more than comfortable in his company and the company of his team.
We spent two weeks in the north eastern part of Tanzania. Besides wonderful gamedrives, Bushland travel organized perfect hiking tours (including an overnight stay in a tent close to a Maasai village) as well as visits at social projects and several local communities.
The accommodations were chosen carefully and were all above our expectations. The car was modern and comfortable. With our driver guide we felt completely safe during the whole safari, even when we had an adventurous feeling driving in the bush.
We had the chance to see and learn a lot about wildlife in Tanzania and about how people live there. Our guide had an answer to all our questions no matter what it was.
We do fully recommend Bushland Travel and hope that we can return soon for another amazing trip with Didimus and his colleagues.
