A positive experience
We had Theodore as our driver. He planned our trip very well and guided us diligently. He was very patient with us, as well. Also an upbeat person and very good smooth driver.

Great tour guide, accommodation mismatch
Our driver-tour guide Bariki is above excellence. He is knowledgeable about the habits of animals in the bush, birds as well as plants. As a result, he made our journey a truly memorable experience. Added to that, Bariki's good sense of humour kept us looking forward to each new day.
Gosheni sold us a mid luxury package which had a couple of disappointing hotels- Olkarien Eco Camp and Acacia at Tarangire. Both are part of the Acacia chain, I would steer clear of them. These were not four star but the former was really below three stars. The Olkarien is badly in need of upkeep. However, the staff at both tried their best and we were happy with their efforts. We also stayed at hotels in the Karibu chain, and those were a cut above.
Gosheni needs an operations person, badly. The sales person who sold us the package started ghosting us just before and at the beginning of the trip. That was terrible.
Overall, Gosheni has to try to ensure a more consistent standard, not just good tour guides.

Good and professionally booked tour
We were picked up promptly around 5 a.m. from our hotel to visit Mikumi Game Park. Our guide, Mohamed, was with us throughout the entire day until we checked back into the hotel around 10 p.m. Additionally, we took a trip to Nakupenda Sand Island in Zanzibar, where we were also picked up on time at 6 a.m. and taken to the ferry. We had a wonderful time exploring Zanzibar and our driver met us when we returned to Dar es Salaam.

Great experience, comunication can be better
Our safari experience was very good. We saw a lot of animals also thanks to our driver Antony. The company was quite responsive on whatsapp but sometimes we got some schedule change without no one explaining us the reason. In the end the plan was reasonable but some further explanation could be better. Price was the lowest we could find.
