5 star value/service at a great price!Thrilling Kilimanjaro hike + 8 day safari + 4 days in Zanzibar
My wife and I did a 2 week honeymoon trip to Tanzania with Gosheni (locally owned and operated). We had such a memorable trip, and wholeheartedly recommend that others book experiences with Gosheni.
First, We worked with Pendo to plan the customized 2 week experience- we wanted to include a short hike of Kilimanjaro, a safari tour of the Serengeti (and other reserves), and a bit of beach time in Zanzibar. Pendo is one the most professional representatives we’ve worked with from any tour company. She put together a great itinerary, accommodating all of our requests for stays and dietary preferences, and ensured our local transfers would be handled smoothly. Despite being on the other side of the world, she was really quick to respond to any questions we had. Once we reached Tanzania , she was great about regularly touching base, and ensuring all of our needs were met. Without us even asking , she inquired and upgraded our hotels at no extra cost for 3 nights. That was above and beyond what we expected!
Next, we hiked to a base camp of Kilimanjaro with Amari and David. They have nearly 20 years of experience between them and did an excellent job of preparing us for the hike, pacing us and showing us various animals and fauna, finding excellent stops for pictures and ensuring we were well hydrated and fed. Shout out to their entire team who transported equipment/luggage/cooking supplies and prepared some amazing food for us over those 2 days.
At this point, we started an 8 day safari tour with Laban. Laban was our driver and guide for all the game drives. He is a wonderful driver, navigating rough terrain with ease. And, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge, is extremely tactful and professional, and he has eagle eyes. With his sharp eyes, and great relationships with other guides, we saw a cheetah hunt a gazelle, lions in mating season, multiple leopards in trees, endangered rhinos, many varieties of birds, and countless other animals. He also took us to good spots to get souvenirs and ensured we had smooth transfers and handled providing of our game drive lunches. He went above and beyond and remembered we needed covid tests to return and ensured we booked those in a timely manner. Those 8 days flew by, and we are deeply grateful for having Laban as our guide and friend in that journey!
Finally, we spent the final few days at a beach resort in Zanzibar. Pendo booked the hotel, and ensured our transfers from the mainland to Zanzibar and back were handled smoothly. From the moment we landed, every single pickup/drop off was on time.
Overall, we are so happy with this experience and wish that others can give Gosheni a try and see what a marvelous company they are! Thank you for making our honeymoon such a memorable experience !

Seven days safari in kenya
the trip has exceeded expectations. The organization has been perfect, from the first moment we have felt very Agustí with our guide, Jonathan Maina, who has made it possible for us to see the Big Five and practically all the mammals and birds that we wanted to see on this trip. Masai Mara is a mythical place that you cannot miss, and Amboseli in a special place, on the slope of Kilimanjaro. We came here to be able to photograph the Gerenuk, and we have succeeded, with Maina everything is possible. You can see photos on my Instagram profile @gzlwildlife

Splendid
A trip to the maasai Mara was the best experience ever. I had a nice time with my family as I enjoyed watching the various animal species and birds. Much thanks to Esther the director of Arboreal Safaris who ensured the trip was a success

The best ones in Tanzania
We had an incredible experience with the company since we arrived to Tanzania. Every aspect of our trip was taken care of, they were waiting for us at the airport, make sure everything was alright at our hotel. Very punctual and attentive to our needs. We felt very safe with them! Our tour guide knew a lot not only about the safaris themselves but also gave us facts about the people, culture, etc. I totally recommend the tour!!

Five star service and facilities with affordable price
We had a 10-day safari with Gosheni in end of Sept. I have to say everything is just perfect and it will be my lifelong memory. When I searched agencies, I compared price and service among many of them and finally Gosheni gave me the most reasonable plan and quotation.
During the safari, we were happy to find out that we did enjoy the best in class service and facilities. All the accommodations were luxury and comfortable with perfect service. The car was very new and in perfect condition (it even had picnic shades and tables and chairs which made our lunch in Ngorogoro is exceptionally comfortable). All lunch are actually proper lunch with table setting,3-course meal and even beer and wines! We were extremely flattered when first time seeing it while most of other visitors were having their sandwiches lunch box.
Our guide William was very experienced and knowledgeable. He always tirelessly drove us all around and spotted the animals which we were impossible to see by ourselves! He was charming, considerate and patient. I can’t imaging anyone could be better! With his help, We have seen almost all animals in our safari and some of them were super rare!
I highly recommend Gosheni to all my friends who would like to enjoy a five-star service and memorable safari with affordable price.
