ONCE in a life time - absolutely faboulus
They promised one in a lifetime experience and we received once in a lifetime experience. Before getting in to deatails we want to Thank our guide Ombeni. Whenever you have the chance to book a tour in english ask for Ombeni.
From the first day he made us feel comfortable and welcome. After fantastic days in Tarangire ans Lake Manyara nationalpark we arrived to Serengeti. We enjoyed the knowledge of Ombeni and his patience while we were observing animals (pole pole = slowly slowly). As well as in the other parks Ombeni had eagle eyes and spotted lions or leopards even several hundred meters away.
Accommodations were fabulous. Starting from interior and especially highlighting the exceptional friendliness and service of every staff member.
During our trip we also met other gosheni guides for e.g. Eno who also speaks german, and all of them were amazing.
Whenever your looking for an reliable, well organised, welcoming and committed tour operator choose gosheni.
Many thanks to Ombeni, Peter and the rest of the team.

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!

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!

A vacation that is made once in a lifetime and that we will always remember !!!
4 Days Explore Tanzania Safari: Serengeti National Park + Ngorongoro Crater + Lake Manyara National Park
Just returned from an unforgettable trip to Tanzania, we still have in our memory the wonderful 4-day private safari experience made in the second week of August.
I highly recommend to anyone who travels to this beautiful country not to miss the parks in the north and to choose Gosheni Safaris.
Before choosing the tour operator, I did a lot of research online and read the reviews of many tourists who were enthusiastic about the experience. I was not surprised, therefore, by the professionalism of this tour operator, which has shown great attention to the customer since the first contact.
After an exchange of emails, Peter offered me a package giving me details on the services, all of a high level: the new jeep, efficient and exclusively for us (group of 4 people), with the use of binoculars, water board and sockets to charge smartphones, overnight stays in extraordinary structures, hot meals, wine and drinks for lunch during the "game drives". An exclusive service!
We were lucky enough to see many animals, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, buffaloes, wildebeest, various species of antelope, hippos, baboons and other types of multicolored monkeys, elephants, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, warthogs, lemurs, wild cats, crocodiles, many species of birds, rodents, not to mention trees and plants and breathtaking views.
In particular, we spent two unforgettable nights at the Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp, right in the middle of the Serengeti, in contact with nature (splendid view especially at sunrise and sunset accompanied by the sounds of the savannah), but equipped with all comforts, from the hot water in the bathrooms, all with shower and tub, to the huge and very comfortable beds and abundant breakfast; not to mention the helpfulness of the staff. We were truly pampered from the welcome until the end of the stay.
The night spent at Ngorongoro Castle was also special. The structure is new, located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and surrounded by greenery. Particular architecture and furnishings, still a little behind in terms of customer services, but with enormous growth potential. Staff always smiling and helpful.
The only flaw, the wi-fi is not present in the rooms, but still available in the common areas.
A particular review for our guide. If you have the chance, ask for Erasto. He was great; he speaks several languages (with us especially in Spanish), very well prepared, he drove the jeep flawlessly (including the thrill of the "African massage") and was always available to accommodate our requests. He also gave us a lot of interesting information about the animals and the local culture. With him we felt privileged.
With Gosheni Safaris, really the top!!!

A dream came true
We are more than happy that we choose Gosheni Safari for our Honeymoon trip, because Ombeni our guide made this trip super special for us. He was extremely caring and super friendly! We had a lot of fun together and enjoyed every second. We saw a lot of animals and even if the animals hide e.g. in a rock Ombeni saw them and show them to us - he has an eagle eye. We even saw a rhino!
For us a dream came true because we saw lions really near by the car and we were able to observe them as long as we wanted to. There was no stress at all.
What is also very special about Gosheni: every day we got hot lunch with delicious wine.
In General I definitely recommend Gosheni especially Ombeni!
