Perfect Safari with an Awesome Guide
No words can fully describe my appreciation for what an amazing time we had. We booked our tour through Soul of Tanzania (same company as Gosheni Safari), and Sandy helped us plan the most perfect adventure. She built it for what where we wanted to go and for what we hoped to see, and it was perfect. It was easy to book and everything was so organized. Our guide, Hassani, was absolutely amazing. He was funny, very knowledgeable, and had a keen eye for spotting wildlife. I really appreciated how responsible he was and how he didn’t want to disturb the wildlife. He was so patient every time we wanted to stop and take a picture of the buffalo or wildebeest, even though we’d seen so many of them already. We saw so much wildlife! I can’t even pick what my favorite experience was. We flew into Kilimanjaro, and had a day each in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater, and five days in Serengeti (2 central, 3 north). We saw a Thompson’s gazelle give birth, watched a huge Mara river crossing of Wildebeest (what we came for), spotted 2 rhinos, saw all Big 5 and all Ugly 5, and my list could go on and on. Truly could not have asked for a better experience. I am so grateful for the experience that Gosheni Tours provided, and Hassani helped us fulfill our dreams of a perfect Safari. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would highly recommend this company and would boon with them again.

Perfect safari!!!
We researched companies for weeks and went with Soul of Tanzania/Goshini based on reviews. Thank goodness we did, because we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our guide Hassani was the best guide! He was so friendly, teaching us some Swahili and answering endless questions. He showed us so many beautiful places in Tanzania, and made our stay so comfortable and stress free. He helped us see everything we wanted. We watched a few wildebeest crossings, one was enormous and honestly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. We saw SIX leopards, lots of lions, an amazing vulture feeding, and even watched a Thompson's gazzelle give birth. This experience exceeded my expectations so much, I can only hope I have the ability and opportunity to return to east Africa one day. Tanzania has left a footprint on my heart, and if I am able to return I will absolutely use Goshini/Soul of Tanzania again! And we'll ask for Hassani :)
BEST TOUR COMPANY, HANDS DOWN!
We completed a customized 8 day safari starting with the Northern Serengeti down to Tarangire National Park. IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!
From planning to execution, Gosheni Safari's quality and service was impeccable. Apart from the incredible photos and stories to tell for decades, I'm grateful for the countless laughs and conversations over lunches and dinner that really taught me how to take everything 'pole pole' and the real meaning of TIA (THIS IS AFRICA). Africa, I'm in love and to be honest, a lot of the credit goes to Gosheni Safaris for being an incredible host, specifically GABRIEL and PENDO who exceeded our expectations. We will surely be back again and recommend this tour company to all our family and friends. Choosing a local company with incredible standards makes a lot of difference on the quality of experience. Thank you Gosheni!! :) <3

Perfect experience
If you're hesitating which company choose for your safari hesitate no more. Not only, the offer I got from Gosheni was, the most interesting one, the contact and response time short, but they were fully flexible when our flight got cancelled and we had to move our trip one year forward. All in all the most important is the guide and we got a great one. Ombeni knows everything about Tanzania, Serengeti and the wild life and has a great way of sharing his knowledge. He will do everything for your trip to be comfortable and interesting and run to every place where rare species appeared. We managed to see a lot and enjoyed a lot. Gosheni provides delicious food and accommodation in beautiful and well managed Acacia Camp. The whole experience is wonderful. Highly recommended!

9 days Safari Bush to Beach
We booked for a 9 day Bush to Beach safari. Thanks to Pendo who was my contact and organized our trip. It was perfect.
We spent 4 days with our driver guide William. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. William is a very good guide. He knows every animal we've seen. He found for us the big five and many others. He is very professional and friendly.
We slept in a camp in the national park. It was a wonderful experience to wake up surrounded by zebras and gazelles.
Then we fly to Zanzibar. We spent the first day with a guide. We visited Stone Town (slave market, church, local market). Then we went to a spice farm. It was really interesting and fun to guess the plants and taste the fruits.
We spend the last 2 days in a nice hostel with pool and beach. Paradise.
Thanks again to Pendo, William and the whole team. We will never forget this trip.

Very professional guide and such a fun adventure!
We went to ngorogoro for a safari and to stay in the Castle Lodge. The entire experience was amazing and our guide, Wilson, was very professional and knowledgeable and made sure that we were taken care of and had a fun time. The castle was incredibly beautiful and the safari was so cool! Would definitely recommend.

In this age of pandemics I highly recommend Gosheni Safaris.
My wife and I researched several African safari operators and found Gosheni to be the best deal for high-end accommodations with custom private tours at a reasonable price. We booked for September of 2020 but that trip was cancelled when CV19 shut down all air travel to Africa.
Peter Gosheni suggested that we rebook for September of 2020 and offered the exact same trip at a 10% discount.
Unfortunately, due to our ages (we are in our 70's) and the CV19 variants were were advised by our physicians not to make the trip. Peter was very understanding and just wired back our deposit.
Not all tour operators would be that generous, as we found with other other legs of our planned African adventure. I trust Peter absolutely and we will rebook with Gosheni Safaris when this pandemic gets under control.

William Augustino David is a great Safari guide and driver
William Augustino David planned, organized, and guided us and our grandchildren on a wonderful 9-day safari in Tanzania in July 2021. The planning included an itinerary, lodges, and flights from North Serengeti to Zanzibar.
William met us at Kilimanjaro Airport and transferred us to our lodge in Arusha.
We started the safari the next morning in Tarangire and continued to Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Karatu, Ngorongoro Crater, and Central and Northern Serengeti.
The trip was made in a safari vehicle (a jeep with a roof that could rise so that we could stand and watch the animals safely and comfortably). William showed us the Big 5 (elephant, rhino, African buffalo, lion, and leopard) and many other animals that he managed to identify from far away. He also explained about trees, plants, and boulders that we saw.
We saw herds of thousands of wildebeest (gnu) pass next to our safari vehicle after they crossed the Mara River, while crocodiles lurked for them.
We visited the Hadzabe (hunters and gatherers), Datoga and Maasai tribes, and the Olduvai Museum, one of the most important paleo-anthropological sites in the world.
We walked from Karatu to the elephant caves and descended to a nearby waterfall using the new steps.
The lodges, our daily lunches in nature, the encounter with animals in their natural environment, all conducted by William, were unforgettable experiences to all of us.
We are happy to recommend William as an experienced safari guide and driver.
