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.

Best Honeymoon you could get
We are so happy that we decided to go for our honeymoon to safari in Tanzania, and the most important thing that we chose the right tour agency that is Gosheni.! And more thankfully to Gosheni for choosing Laban as our Guide!!! Laban made our honeymoon such a perfect one, adventourous and wonderfull (yes we wonder all the time how great it was). He such a good photograper, he made us few amazing couple photos , he also gave us a surprise cocktail evening in the bush, with a beautiful sunset view.

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.

Gosheni provided us a outstanding Safari experience. Great guide, High Quality Service!
The Guide was very well familiar with 4 different national parks, well connected to local people and very knowledgeable. Overall communication was very good and professional. He provided us a really great service during the 5 day safari. The Car is very well maintained and in very good condition. We had an amazing trip, saw more animals than we expected and can highly recommend this operator for Safari in Tansania.

Unforgettable, Delightful experience. Don't hesitate!
I cannot recommend Gosheni Safaris enough! Right from the start, Pendo was extremely helpful, patient, and willing to go above and beyond. She was always available to cater to our requests, swift in her responses, and in the end created a package that was affordable and perfectly customised to our needs.
And then there was Laban - our tour guide. One of the best and most gentle souls we met during our trip to Tanzania. His positive attitude, superior knowledge, and experience left us in awe - with a much deeper understanding of the local culture, flora, and fauna. Laban was extremely accommodating, a great navigator, and an extremely enjoyable safari companion.
Thank you, Gosheni Safaris, and Peter - you surely have built an amazing team and left us with an experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you're reading this review, don't hesitate - every penny will be well spent and worth it with the Gosheni team.

Amazing Safari
My husband and I did a 10 days Mara River Migration Safari with Gosheni Safaris and we are glad we chose this agency, because everything was perfect. We worked for over a year with Pendo for the itinary as we planned to go on a safari last year, but due to the pandemic we had to postpone this trip. Pendo was really attentive to all my concerns as I had a lot of questions concerning the sanitary situation in Tansania and the safari in general. We were really lucky to have William as a driver. From the beginning we felt that we were in good hands. William is an awesome guide, a really good driver and is never satisfied until we saw the animals we hoped to see. He is really professional and has a lot of humour which we highly appreciated. He is really attentive to his clients' needs. We were also really happy with the choice of lodges. Gosheni Safaris chose a lot of Acacia camps for our accommodation and those camps were amazing.

Excellent experience, very good…
We went to several parks where we saw different species of animals. Our guides ally and one were very polite and helpful people, always taking us to the best places to find the animals. At lunch we had meals and wine, prepared by our guide One… the hotels we stayed were also in agreement. It was a magnificent experience. I recommend the company to those who also want to know the animals...

We just finished the last day of August our safari in northern Tanzania, with Lake Manyara, Serenget
We just finished the last day of August our safari in northern Tanzania, with Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and finally Tararinge, the experience with this agency has been really great: the vehicle was very comfortable, exceptional hotels, within the national parks type camp, with a spectacular charm tents and with all amenities. Our English speaking driver Wilson showed a great professional, many years of experience, he knows everything very well, the roads ... the places where they prepared the picnic had spectacular views, the equipment for the picnic was made of porcelain and glass for the meals, which were very good, we were also accompanied by a Spanish speaking guide Dickson very young but eager to work, which right now is gaining experience to be a great professional guide in the future. Of course we will repeat with this agency and of course we recommend 100 × 100 these services, thank you very much for the professionalism shown in this Safari in your organization and for the professionals working, they have made our experience in Africa, in Tanzania and with the wildlife really unique and unforgettable. Our congratulations for their work.
Special mention for the hotel ACACIA TARANGIRE LUCURY CAMP.... place for unforgettable where all people should go at least once in life. Eva Maria
