Safari as it should be
5/5

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.

Incredible safari experience!
5/5

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!

Magnificent
5/5

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!

Amazing Safari That Exceeded All Expectations!!
5/5

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.

The Quintessential Safari Experience - The Gosheni staff are Experts you can trust!
5/5


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!

Gosheni far exceeded my expectations!! The Safari Experts indeed!
5/5


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!

Safari for m’y honeymoon
5/5

Gosheni & William, our guide, made our honeymoon safari perfect.

Getting the itinerary and the accommodation right is one thing, but Gosheni makes sure all the little details are perfect and William could find a needle in a hay stack or, in this context, mating lions in the Serengeti.

With William you will learn a LOT on the Masaï, Tanzania in general and all the animals of the savanna.

I recommend asking for a walking safari in the Serengeti, spending a night in the Acacionera Serengeti luxury camp and staying the rest of the time at the Serena hotels in the Ngorongoro & the Serengeti.

Honeymoon safari
5/5

Our honeymoon safari has been better than we could have hoped thanks to William, our guide, and Gosheni safari in general.

William went out of his way to make us see all the animals from the leopard to the caracole as well as all the others. William is fun, knowledgeable, interesting, professional, discreet and effective.

We strongly recommend :
- William :)
- doing a walking safari in the Serengeti for 2-4 hours
- spending a night in the Acacionera Serengeti luxury tents
- staying at the Serena hotel in Ngorongoro & Serengeti
