He was so genuine, so fun, and so knowledgeable.
Going on a Tanzanian Safari has always been a bucket list trip I always wanted to try, but I didn’t think it could be this good.
Gosheni Safaris went well beyond our expectations. From gladly helping us when we had troubles with flights and being so polite and friendly, we will never safari with another company now.
Our tour guide Ombeni only helped to improve our experience. He was so genuine, so nice, so accommodating, we enjoyed every second of with him. This doesn’t even include the breathtaking wildlife he showed us with the interesting facts about Tanzania. We saw unbelievable wildlife in the safari, had countless, and played a ton of card games with Ombeni. Truly a one of a kind experience and guide.

5 day safari exceeded my expectations
I had an excellent time and the trip exceeded my expectations. Although it was November (off Season, small rain season), the weather was fantastic and we didn’t have any rain throughout the trip. The first night we stayed in a hostel close to Arusha airport. The room was ok, the food amazing and there even was a small pool. In the evening we sat by the fire and we had a chance to get to know the other people who would join the tour (6 in one car). We departed early the next morning and met our guide and chef for the first time. Habib our guide as well as our chef Bida both were absolutely amazing, authentic and passionate about what they do. Habib was super experienced, has shown a lot of effort in pleasing all guests‘ expectations and was able to show us all one should see on a safari…he was super kind and I felt very well looked after throughout the whole trip. He also let the decision up to us when we would like to get started in the mornings. Bida‘s Food was excellent and the portions were huge. Other groups we met at the camps for breakfast/lunch/dinner even were jealous of the food our group was served (e.g. pancakes and freshly baked cake at 5am in the morning). Both were able to answer all questions and I learned a lot about their culture. The campsites are ok, but don’t expect too much - panorama campsite was my favourite, as you slept in little huts and they also organized some entertainment in the evening. Some people complained about the Camp Sites but one should not forget that this is a budget camping trip! Tents were good but the Bathrooms/toilets often were in a bad state (toilets did not flush, showers sometimes did not work), but considering you are in the middle of a national park, I also did not expect too much, so for me this was part of the experience and ok….the last night we spent at the hostel in Arusha again. While transfer from the airport at the beginning of the trip was included, transfer at the end was not included anymore. Although the hostel is very close to the airport (max. 20min Drive), the transfer costs were rather high (20usd, and „only“ 25usd to Kilimanjaro airport, which is almost a 90min drive). So this somehow left a bad last impression which they should consider to change…all in all I can say I definitely would book this trip again!

Customer oriented, reliable and trustworthy.
Picked up at the airport and paraded securely through a wide variety of wild life parks with multiple viewings of the big five supported by panoramic scenic views of East Africa and safely dropped of at departures.
What more can one ask for but safety, security, value and convenience; a trip of a life time - not to be missed!

Great guide, great tour
I saw 4 of the so called Big 5 within the first hour after entering Mikumi National Park. The Bastian Lodge was really nice as well with great food options. On the way back we stopped at several places to eat fruits or BBQ from the Massai, which was excellent a well.

Reliable
As it is not very common for Brazilians to travel to Tanzania, we were a little apprehensive about hiring the tour via whatsapp. What made us calmer was that Isaya was always very attentive and transparent, in addition to allowing us to pay in full only on arrival. He picked us up from the ferry as arranged. The trip to the Lodge, in the Selous region, is in the same car as the safari. A little tiring because the road is mostly dirt and the car does not have air conditioning. The Lodge was as expected, simple but very clean and with friendly staff and good meals, simple too, but tasty. On the first day we went on a boat safari on the Rufiji River and saw many Hippos and crocodiles, the guide for this day is very good and explains everything about the river and the animals. At the end of the day, we can still admire the sunset on the safe banks of the river. On the second day we did the Game Drive, where we could see many animals, Giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, guinus, impalas, wild boars, monkeys, more hippos and crocodiles, in short, many animals. On the third and last day we took a walk through part of the park with a local guide who teaches us a lot about local biology and traditions. On this day we returned to Dar as salan, on the same way as we were going, where we said goodbye to Isaya and again took the Ferry to Zanzibar. We only have raves about Isaya. He is a young boy, just 21 years old, but a born entrepreneur. Extremely responsible and always concerned with the well-being of customers. This tour is one of the cheapest you can do in Tanzania compared to Safaris, so don't expect anything luxurious. Transport, accommodation, food and drinks are all proportional to the amount we pay, but the care and affection of Isaya and all the other guides and staff are certainly far above what we expected. I would definitely hire again so we recommend.

Gundua is a reliable operator, flexible with your trip and cares that you get the best experience
After asking several operators, we finally decided do our Tanzania trip with Gundua. Reason? They were always responding emails fast, adjusting our trip with our suggestions and money limits. Our trip was not an easy one to organize as we were doing 15 days with lots of activities but the selection they made was perfect to get best experience. Our Spanish driver and guide, Saidi, was also very polite, always looking for animals and with lot of experience. If we would repeat our trip (who knows :)) we would choose them again with no doubt.
