Gosheni far exceeded my expectations!! The Safari Experts indeed!
My son surprised me with a 5-day Safari in Tanzania visiting Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara - & I couldn’t have been happier with the service provided by Gosheni and our Safari guide, William.
William was our biggest advocate for maximizing our time that we had on Safari - as reluctant as we were to wake up early every morning - we were elated to have seen the cheetah, lions, zebra, wildebeest and gazelles early in the morning. Undoubtedly, we accredit seeing the “Big 5” and so many more species of animal, to William and his knowledge of the landscape as well as habits of the animals.
Additionally, we were served hot meals in the bush for an authentic feel, provided a top of the line vehicle for viewing animals and were granted more than necessary opportunities to take as many pictures and selfies as we possibly could.
After all, it’s not only the company you choose that is most important factor - it’s your Safari guide that you’re going to be spending the next ‘x’ amount of days with. William was very communicative, understanding and ready to impart his wisdom at every opportunity. Thank you!
Overall, we were given peace of mind knowing that our accommodations were guaranteed, every safety measure was being taken to protect our well-being, and we received much more in services and William’s cordial hospitality than we paid for - 5+ stars!
P.S.: To all of the anxious travelers (myself included), it’s understandable to be concerned with the dynamic circumstances that we face when booking holiday vacations in this current time, HOWEVER, with Gosheni + William, we did not have to worry about how we were going to secure Covid-19 tests, whether or not we could be accommodated for any whim, and whether or not we would see any animals - the staff at Gosheni are truly the experts that you should rely on!

The Quintessential Safari Experience - The Gosheni staff are Experts you can trust!
Firstly, Gosheni, Pendo and our Safari Guide, William, abide by their fundamental principle of “what Gosheni & their staff promise, is guaranteed - no question”
My mom and I are indebted with such gratitude to specifically, our Safari guide - William! The company and William have superseded our expectations for viewing an abundance of wildlife, gaining knowledge of the local cultural heritage and most of all - how accommodating the company has been with our requests. Additionally, William has, without fail, gone out of his way to show us the “Big 5” and so much more - even spotting the elusive leopard, cheetah and serval cat. Overall, he’s incredibly knowledgeable of the areas inhabited by the variations of animals in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongo Crater and Lake Manyara - we have learned so much more of the language, culture and of Williams’s family ties to the Maasai. Moreover, from accommodating my work crisis to allow me to set up my laptop in their office in Arusha, to scouting locals to find an SD card for my Go Pro, to helping with Covid-19 forms - we have received so much help, leniency and gratitude.
I only wish we could have stayed longer than the 5 days, William has come to be part of the family and has contributed ever so greatly to our lasting impression of Africa - I recommend everyone to book with Gosheni!
In the end, we were guaranteed our specifically requested accommodations, a very comfortable Safari vehicle, delicious hot meals in the bush, and really anything else we happened to ask for throughout our Safari. I encourage those reading this to allow these trusted individuals to provide you peace of mind and an amazing adventure. Happy travels!
Thank you so much William, Peter and Pendo!

Amazing Safari That Exceeded All Expectations!!
Wife, son, and I just completed an amazing two week safari experience out together by Gosheni Safari that started in Kenya and ended in beautiful Tanzania. Everything about the safari was first class, from planning and preparation with Pendo to the safari experience with extremely knowledgeable drivers and guides Carlos in Kenya and Ombeni in Tanzania.
First a word about planning with Gosheni. We were actually scheduled for the safari last year, in June 2020 and made deposit by February, just before the onset of the COVID pandemic. We obviously were unable to travel last year, but Pendo and Gosheni remained in contact with us over the year, Assuring us that once travel was safe again, we would be able to book the dates. And that’s exactly what happened, and once Kenya opened back up, we were able to put together an itinerary in a few weeks time.
Regarding our guides Carlos and Ombeni, their professionalism, knowledge, and constant effort made for an amazing safari. We had our 8 year old son with us and both were responsive to his every question about the Masai Mara, Serengeti, animals, or whatever.
We always felt totally comfortable in their hands and they were totally committed to making our safari experience the time of a lifetime. While we sat in the vehicle, these guides managed to navigate the roads, spot animals from long distances, and stay in communications with other drivers to find sought after animals.
We were able to see the Big 5 and so many more special experiences that we’ll always remember. Like the 5 Brothers Cheetahs and the Buffalo charging down a pride of lion on The Masai Mara; the cheetah momma with her baby cub; numerous leopards, lions, and elephants in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Gosheni selected a variety of great camps thru the stay that enhanced the experience with even more friendly service and delicious food. And also, the safari bush lunches always hit the spot and never left us hungry!
A good friend had referred us to Gosheni based on his great experience, and I’ve already recommended Gosheni, Carlos, and Ombeni to friends who saw our pictures on social media and are now planning their own trips.

Magnificent
We just finished our 14 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Gosheni Safaris. There are no words to truly describe the incredible experience. We travel all over the world and this was one of the best trips if not the best. In Kenya, our guide was Carlos who did a terrific job showing us around. We saw the 5 brothers Cheetahs, baby elephants, Buffalos chasing lions and so many more animals. In Tanzania, our guide was Obeni, who did an excellent job taking care of us. Both Carlos and Obeni were so patient and kind to our 8 year old son. In Tanzania, Obeni found us a mama Cheetah with her baby cub, numerous leopards, all of the Big Five, and made terrific picnic lunches. Gosheni is an excellent company who truly takes care of their clients. If you want a one in a lifetime experience, book with Gosheni Safaris and ask for Carlos if you are in Kenya and Obeni if you are in Tanzania!

Incredible safari experience!
Me and my friends had an amazing 6 days luxury safari with Gosheni. Hassani was a really great guide and driver who knows everything about animals we saw. I still dont understand how he managed to find for us all of them. We saw leopard, cheetas, lions hunting and many many more. Special thanx to the staff of Acacia camps where we stayed. Great service!
Safari as it should be
We took a 6 day luxury package and it was worth it definitely. The car was comfy and clean every day, with convertible roof and professional guide Hassani spotting animals like a radar. This is really important to have a good spotting guide, like 50% of success. Serengeti was outstanding, saw a lions pack hunting Gnu, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks also beautiful and full of surprises. Must visit.

Amazing and knowledgeable
If you are looking for a company for Safari in Tanzania do not look any further and book Gosheni now!
We did a 7 day safari to include Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, and Lake Manyara, with William as our guide. The entire experience exceeded all of our expectations. From the very beginning, I could tell Gosheni was the best choice in Tanzania. Upon initial contact, Pendo provided easy and fast communication, accompanied with outstanding customer service and professionalism.
And then there’s William. I truly believe he is the best guide the country has to offer. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, funny, and caring. He made sure we saw “The big five”, even if that meant driving 30 minutes in the opposite direction of our camp, just so we could see a Jaguar. With William you learn so much and know that you are well taken care of. William always went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. Asante sana William for the amazing memories!
I could not have asked for anything better. The meals are fantastic and definitely stand out compared to other safari companies. All of the lodges were top notch. Gosheni provided the highest level of service and I can not recommend them highly enough.

Amazing experience with the best guide in the country.
Our trip with Gosheni Safaris was amazing! We spent 7 days seeing Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and it could not have been any better. The best part was our guide William. I promise you he is the best guide in Tanzania. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He is super funny and knows everything and everyone in the area. We saw every single animal we had hoped to see plus many more. The camps we stayed in were awesome. The food was amazing as well as the staff working there. I’ve never seen better hospitality in my life. I had looked at multiple companies while planning this trip and I am so glad I chose Gosheni. I truly believe they are the best company in the country.

ASK FOR FIDELIS!
Our entire interaction with Gosheni Safari was so great! Before I got to Tanzania, I was mainly in contact with Pendo. She was so patient with me when I was constantly changing what I wanted to do for our custom itinerary. Since we only had 3 days, she was very realistic with me about what we could and could not accomplish in that timeframe, which was super helpful to not overwhelm us on the trip. We had the absolute best time on safari with Fidelis. He was fantastic! We only had 3 days between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and his time management was phenomenal. We saw sooo many animals including a leopard! He could spot animals from so far away I was shocked! He would get us so close to the animals I felt like I could reach out and pet them! He has been doing this for so many years and has so much knowledge, he could answer any question we asked. The food was also delicious! To have a white table cloth with a hot meal and wine while everyone else had plain brown bag lunches was a treat. On the way home he even stopped at a couple places so we could look and buy some tanzanite. Overall the safari with Fidelis was more that I could ever have imagined! I would HIGHLY recommend him and Gosheni safaris.
