Wonderful safari tour through the South of Tanzania
We came to Gosheni Safaris through internet research not knowing they are the Award Winning and Leading Tour Operator of Tanzania in 2021. We were on a 11 days, 10 nights safari through the South of Tanzania guided by the the wonderful Fidelis, an experienced and thoughtful guide for a perfect safari tour. After finishing the safari we can only confirm that Gosheni Safaris, presented by Fidelis and team, were the right choice! The safari was customized to all we wanted to see and organized very well, considering we booked only few days in advance (thanks to Pendo in the Gosheni Office!)! Fidelis introduced us to the wildlife in the South of Tanzania with a lot of background information and a very good eye for the hidden animals in the distance! Even though it was very dry and a difficult situation for most of the animals, he showed us neraly every animal living in Mikumi/Ruaha/Nyere. With his experience and the respectful and peaceful way to treat the wilderness he made our game drives a wonderful tour! The accomodation was well chosen, Fidelis organized cool drinks for us to survive the heat and adapted to the tour daily to our needs and wishes.
For the next trip to Tanzania we will not have to make an effort to find the right tour operator, we will simply call Gosheni Safaris, because it was a blast to travel with you. Thanks again to Gosheni and especially to Fidelis! Asante sana!

Excellent service!
We book it with very professional help from Cindy, the transaction, planning of the trip etc. went nothing but smooth. William was assigned to us as our guide, who is very helpful and friendly, thanks to his rich knowledge and experience, we were led to many wonders in Serengeti.

William was kind, caring, fun and incredibly knowledgeable.
After many hours of research my husband and I chose Gosheni Safaris to help us plan our trip of a lifetime to Tanzania. They are a locally owned Tanzania safari company. Peter the owner helped us plan the perfect itinerary for our 7 day safari experience! We were greeted at the airport after an extremely long flight from Canada with refreshments and snacks! Our AMAZING guide was William. William was kind, caring, fun and extremely knowledgeable about all of the different species and areas we visited. Plus he has been a guide for many years so he has great safari stories!! He worked extremely hard to ensure our safari experience was one to remember! We were extremely lucky to view all of the many animals on our safaris including 4 incredible leopard sightings. I would highly recommend William as a guide and Gosheni Safaris for a once in a lifetime safari experience!! We cannot wait to return to Tanzania!!!❤️

It was ine if the greatest adventures I have had
We came to Tanzania as a family of five. The main goal of the trip was to learn more about the local animals, so we had a 8 day personalised safari organised by Pendo suitable just for our needs.
During the trip, we have visited several nationational parks, seen lives of different tribes.
Special thank you to our driver-guide Ombeni, who has helped to make this trip trully unforgetable - he has great eye for locations, as well as for the best spots for wild life photography. Due to his knowledge of a local environment and guidance we come back home with full memory cards of great pictures. Ombeni helped us see su much more animals from much closier than I have ever expected.
Would definitely recommend both - agency and guide Ombeni for everyone!

A great trip
Ombeni was a amazing guide! He was knowledgeable in all the animals we saw and always seem to know where the next sighting was going to be and by the end of our trip we got our fill of animals. Pendo was our booking agent and she did a great job of customizing our trip and addressed any questions we had before and during the adventure. I would highly recommend Gosheni as a tour company, they made the vacation that much special.

An extraordinary experience
We had an amazing 5 days of family safari (4 adults and 3 children aged 7, 9 and 111)!
The organization was great! The accommodations were fantastic: beautiful and super comfortable! And delicious meals!
A huge THANK YOU to our guide Ombeni who made this experience unforgettable! A warm, caring, attentive guide, perfect with children. He gave us lots of explanations about Masai animals, vegetation, culture and history… and some basic knowledge of Swahili! We had the chance to meet leopards and cheetahs up close ... all the big 5 !!! What wonderful memories!
We loved our safari made it an unforgettable experience for the 7 of us!
A big thank you to Pendo for the organization and again a huge thank you to Ombeni, the best guide of the world according to our children!
I recommend 1000%

Outstanding Safari
Our family experience with Gosheni was simply fantastic. Having experienced several safaris over the last years with different compagnies, we can definitely say that Gosheni are outstanding and deserve their top ranking on tripadvisor. Everything was perfect. The organisational part handled by Pendo was very clear and professional. She provided us with very flexible cancellation conditions which gave us the confidence for going ahead with the reservation, which was crucial for us seen the pandemic situation. Now comes our driver, Ombeni, who simply made our family experience the best it could have been. He was fantastic with the kids aged 6, 8 and 11 and played around with them, but also talked about the wildlife with passion which witnesses his true loving of his job and the nature of his country. We miss him already.
Thanks to him we saw the big 5 with the unexpected moment of seeing two leopards struggling to get out of a heard of elephants, and 2 cheetahs climbing onto a car right in front of us !!
We wish Gosheni a long prosperous future and hope to come back soon.

Honeymooner luxury safari
Gosheni
For our honeymoon, we chose Gosheni for a week safari in Tanzania. For contact, questions and contract we were in talk with Pendo which answered every question straight away, created a custom safari trip for our budget and was really easy and cool to talk with. Big up for Pendo for making this that easy.
When it comes to the actual safari, we had as our driver, Laban, and truly he was exceptional. He was more than welcoming, easy to talk with, always on time and really knowledgable about all parks and routes. With his expertise we saw more than most people: lions, multiple cheetahs, leopard and even a rhino ! Every lunch we had, he prepared a romantic table and we felt like we were at the restaurant. I can truly recommend Laban as your guide, you will not be disappointed.
Overall, amazing experience at Gosheni, from booking to the actual safaris, don’t hesitate and go with them!

Give yourself the gift of Gosheni
From start to finish I had the most amazing experience with Gosheni safaris. Belinda was very patient with all my many inquiries into safari options and after much research I decided they were the best value I had found and took the plunge booking a 8 day 7 night tour for myself and 3 friends. All the camps we stayed at were gorgeous, comfortable and the staff were incredibly attentive. The best part of it all though, was our guide William. His knowledge of animals, their behaviours, his excellent off road driving skills and his keen eyes are undoubtedly the reason we saw so much on our trip. I had high expectations of the safari but they were still exceeded. We saw lots of giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, leopards, baboons, eagles, and even a rhino, everything we were hoping for and more. William spotted it all, including many animals we never knew existed like the genet cat. He was so knowledgeable he answered all of our questions about them easily and was very friendly, good humoured and easy to get along with. Highlights include seeing some lions chase off hyenas who were trying to steal their kill and the great migration river crossing in the north of the Serengeti and of course a very rare rhino sighting. I should also mention the food, we felt completely spoiled typically eating hot 3 course meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’m so happy we chose Gosheni safaris. I cannot recommend them enough.
