A Dream Come True
After changing our wedding twice because of COVID we finally were able to do it. We were very nervous to do our Honeymoon right after the wedding because of COVID restrictions, but Shikwaru made everything possible.
They were SUPER communicative before we booked (we exchanged like 20 emails prior to our arrival). We had 8 amazing days with them, since minute one everything was arranged. They picked us up at the airport, they sent us the itinerary on advance, they gave us recommendations of what to wear for the excursions, how much money to pay for tips for the locals, they have all the knowledge of the country, the people, the culture, the animals and the hotel selection was amazing.
We did hiking, safari, exploring, elephant experience, and surprise private dinners. All the details of the trip made us feel so special.
My favorite memory of my honeymoon that will last forever was in a lodge that Shikwaru chose for us, my husband and I looking at the stars from our glamping bathtub listening to Hippos, an incredible experience.
I want all my trips to be with Shikwaru!!! I wish they were all over the world! I would book my honeymoon with them 100 times more! And they speak Spanish for me, being a Mexican with an American husband made everything super easy!

Amazing experience!!!
We had an amazing experience in Tanzania thanks to Colours Africa Team. This trip was well beyond our expectations and is one of the most beautiful trip I've made so far!
Colours Africa helped us to plan our trip according to our expectations and wishes. They answered all our questions very quickly and perfectly organized our 7 days of travel according to our requests. We did 1 day hike kilimanjaro, 1 day Materuni village, watefalls and hotsprings and 5 days of safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. They picked us up from the airport and took care of us perfectly.
All our guides were young, friendly and very dynamic. They have a lot of knowledge and answered all our questions about fauna, flora, animals, landscapes and Tanzania. The cook prepared very good and varied dishes every day.
Thanks again to Francis, Emmanuel, Nasri, Lucas, Nathanael and Colours Africa Team! I can't recommend them highly enough!!

Wow! What an incredible experience
Alex and Kathi arranged a wonderful trip for our group of 6 U.S. travelers.
It was rescheduled at least 3 times due to Covid restrictions, but they continued to work with us to come up with an amazing adventure.
Each of the properties that they reserved for us was first class and each was a unique property.
The drivers/guides were knowledgeable and added greatly to the experience.
Kathi was always available to promptly resolve any issues that arose.
We visited South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Rwanda.
We would not hesitate to refer African Welcome for your trip to Africa.

Very accommodating and knowledgable
We had a lovely time in our 3 day safari with Africa Flash McTours and Travel. Starting with a really easy and accommodating way of communication before the travels with Peter, to a really perfect trip in Masai Mara with our guide Edward!! We had so much fun, saw so many animals and learned so much about Kenyan wildlife. We stayed at Basecamp Masai Mara which was also a really nice location, good food and good vibes. Would book again with Flash McTours and Travel!

Unforgettable experience
We could not have chosen a better company to partner with for our Safari experience. The accomodations were perfect, food was amazing and our guide Ombeni was the best part of the trip: knowledgable, fun and overall lovely.
Thank you Gosheni for the best Tanzania Safari experience we could ever ask for!

Great service and prices
100% recommended. The booking process was smooth and the help to choose the best activities for us was truly appreciated. The safari itself is unforgettable and highly recommended. Ombeni is a great guide who has made this experience even better. I would easily recommend Gosheni safaris and if you get Ombeni as a guide you'll be lucky! Great value-money relation.

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 !
