Very competent, helpful and kind
Wonderful experience started with the organisation of the itinerary by Louis who kindly fulfilled all our requests. Our 4-day Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari was made unforgettable by Ahmed, our guide who, with his preparation and kindness made us discover the secrets of these beautiful territories.

Great 9-day safari in Kenya
All was very well organized by Keron Safaris and Hotels and we found it good value for money. The correspondence with the office is very smooth, prompt and clear and they lived up to their promises, Kenny the Key Man.
We liked the proposed combination of Tsavo - Amboseli - Nakuru - Mara. It's a nice variation of scenery. Mara was a highlight of course for the great variety of wildlife, but the more quiet parks in the east have their charm as well.
We opted for the most basic accommodation offers and we found them all very neat. Especially in Voi Safari lodge in Tsavo is located beautifully and quite luxurious. The Nakuru Sopa lodge in Nakuru and Mara Simba lodge were more basic, but we found them fine and all had very friendly staff.
Our driver/guide, John, was excellent, a pleasant travel companion, a great driver and very knowledgeable on the safaris and everything else Kenya. He really tried to make the most out of all game drives.
In short, we would definitely recommend Keron Safaris and Hotels to anyone wanting to do a similar journey.

Extraordinary professional
We hired his services for transfers to and from airport for a business trip and everything was perfect. Sammie provided a professional, serious and reliable service at all times. We are traveling again in September this year and we are contacting him again without a second thought. 100% recommended!

A trip of a lifetime made possible because of gosheni !
My husband and I booked with Gosheni for our Kili Trek, Safari, and Zanzibar experience - and the attention to detail was unmatched. Booking with Gosheni for our trip was made easy, they sent an initial itinerary, and i curated our schedule and accommodations from there - they were quickly responsive and well informed to help us create exactly what we wanted. I had the pleasure of working with Peter, and i can not thank him enough for all he did for us! Thank you !!! Our kili guides Sam and Swibert - my god … i can’t say enough about them! By the end of the 7 days they were family, such beautiful energy - you can tell they truly love what they do ! They kept our pace to make our trek possible, taught us so much about the mountain, made us laugh, danced with us, and were super determined to make sure we made it to Uhuru Peak (the summit). Our chef on the mountain, Tom - absolute magician that guy is. His meals were the best we had for our trip, and i don’t even know how that’s possible with a make shift kitchen on a mountain. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner - all gourmet! We summited Mount Kilimanjaro all thanks to our guides, chef and porters ! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️As far as our safari guide goes - I am convinced that we had thee number 1 guide in Tanzania - his name is Ombeni! We knew so much about the land, the vegetation, and the animals … beyond that and probably most importantly for anyone who is coming to Tanzania for a Safari, he seemed to know the exact right moments of where to go to give us the experience of a lifetime we were hoping for. I also want to say that i could not really see that he genuinely cared about our happiness, he celebrated with us whenever we saw something we wanted. His childlike is energy made the safari so fun, and allowed us to be free and enjoy things just as little kids in a playground for the first time. Last but not least, his photo skills were awesome ! We’ve got some really sweet shots that will make this experience last a lifetime.
If you’re going to book, i highly suggest booking with gosheni. The company and its staff truly care, you will not just be treated as a number, but as family! Thank you again!

The best in Tanzania!!!
We had a phenomenal experience with Kilimanjaro Economy Safari climbing the Marangu Route (6 days). The guides were highly professional; every day they conducted a medical check to make sure we were all feeling alright, and helped ensure that we were taking care of ourselves properly. They fed us well, and provided all sorts of interesting facts and motivation to help get all of us up the mountain. In our group of 10, all of us made it to the summit! Our guides were also all Tanzanian/locals, which was great. Some other companies use Americans to lead their trips, which seemed unnecessary. The locals knew the mountain better, were fantastic ambassadors for their country, and in general just fun. I would highly recommend Kilimanjaro Economy Safari for anyone looking for climb Kili!! For what it's worth, we purchased the trip through the website The Clymb and were able to get a somewhat substantial discount that way. Might be worth exploring

Above and beyond imagination with our guide Bariki
The trip was spontaneously arranged ard a month ago but turned out to be one of my best traveling experiences. Our guide Bariki has made this trip above and beyond excellence.
1. Bariki was incredibly knowledgeable and educated in all areas from animal wildlife, geography, plantation, geography to Tanzanian cultures & tribes. We shot him hundreds of questions along the game drives, and there’s barely one he cannot answer with a concrete, detailed and solid answer. With Bariki, our walking book, I was absorbing so much knowledge along the journey. That was not sth the same as reading from the internet, Bariki has made a lot of the differences.
2. Nature is out of our control, we spotted 4 out of the big 5. Yet for every animal we saw, we got the perfect if not best spot to witness. Bariki has done magic to his driving stick & engine ( u can’t imagine the adrenaline lol), we were the first JEEP to watch the wildebeest migration, lion hunting and so much more.
3. A friendly, welcoming, caring and very humorous guide like Bariki has upgraded the whole safari experience, and turned every meal into laughers. The trust and confidence built early on has quickly made us friends :) There are a lot of interesting animals stories, geography formation and cultural discussion in the car and on the meal tables I will never forget.
I can’t thank Bariki enough for this experience and am forever grateful. He is beyond 10/10! If u will go with Gosheni, make sure u reserve Bariki! Thanks GOSHENI & Peter! HAKUNA MATATA!

Friendly
I traveled with Rotary from the USA. With that being said; one should note that when with Rotary we do not spend much on ourselves and I didn’t expect fancy trappings on the trip. I could say the value for money was good. Our tour guide Bridget as a lovely young woman who did all she could to make our trip a great one. We had van trouble but those things happen. The tour company should have switched out the car from the beginning. Our accommodations were all good with the exception of the hotel in Entebbe, which we had to stay in twice during our trip. That place was poorly run and no one should go there with a tour company. The other hotels were very nice. The Highlites of the trip was the Gorilla park! The hospitality was overall very lovely. The terrific drivers of the vans became our new friends. Africa was brilliant and I’m going back!

Amazing safari with great staff and a lovely group!
We went for a 3d/2n group safari with Meijo safaris and at first we thought that because it's a budget safari it would not be as good as the more expensive safaris. But on the contrary we had a really great time and it lacked nothing!
The owner Daudi cares so much about his customers, we had a briefing a day before the safari and he was even at our hotel after the safari to hear about our experience if there is anything they could improve on. Such a great service!
The driver Goodluck (Goodie) picked us up at the agreed time and we drove to pick up the others in the group. I can really recommend going for a group safari as it's so much more fun meeting new people than going on a private safari. Goodie was an amazing driver, so friendly and easy to talk to, he has 20 years of experience and really made the best out of every day. We saw so many animals and got to see all of the big 5 which is quite rare as especially the Rhino is not that common to see.
The cook Kelvin who joined the trip made really good food every day and is also a super friendly guy.
As for the amenities, they were basic, a shared bathroom with showers/toilets and a kitchen in all the camps. We stayed in tents we built ourselves which was a great outdoor adventure experience! A bonus was that the camps were open so having zebras, baboons etc in the camps or passing by the camps was not uncommon which was so lovely!
Overall an amazing experience and we can highly recommend Meijo safaris, you will not regret choosing this company!

Competent staff, reliable agency, the big five passed, crossing Mara river failed
Five days safari: Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru, six person in total as agreed. Very well organized budget safari trip. Good communication with agency staff. Quick response for any question. Nice and helpful personnel (Mary was very competent). Accommodation on acceptable level (common budget conditions). Food good enough but not luxury. However generally I had to pay for every drinks for lunch and dinner or use water which was provided by safari agency ( 1 liter per day). Tea and instant coffee was provided for free for breakfast. Car was a little bit old and neglected without air condition but it was not a problem. Guide was pretty efficient and could find animals which we wanted to see. Visit in Masai village was not so exciting for me. In Hell Gate park we payed 25 $ extra for local guide but better option is to go inside by car ( 13 $ fees only; guide is not needed at all). The biggest inconvenient: long journeys between safari parks and Nairobi. Recommendation: good camera and binoculars (a mobile phone is not enough), own wine if somebody needs. If I go for safari second time more I would book my trip in this agency.
