Gosheni Safaris and Guide William are Excellent
We had a private 8 day Serengeti safari with Gosheni Safaris Africa and guide William - what a spectacular, excellent, and incredible experience. Gosheni had the best prices, itinerary, jeeps and guide - William - who is outstanding.
We toured many areas: Tarangire, Lake Natron, North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. With sharp eye William, we saw the Big 5: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. We saw thousands of wildebeest cross the Mara River, not just once, but twice. Saw hundreds of other animals including a live hurt wildebeest being attacked by a hyena. Thanks to owner, Peter, Gosheni safaris included fabulous accommodations - the finest glamping experience and great food. Besides the amazing game drives, we also toured a Maasai village, went on a hot air balloon ride, and canoed Lake Manyara. We will definitely return to Tanzania and request William of Gosheni Safaris!

Superb Safari - Adventure of a Lifetime!
We have visited many countries around the world, but this was our first time to Africa. A Tanzania Safari is at the top of the definite must do ultimate experience.
Here's why Gosheni Safaris and Guide William are the perfect choice.
1) Tour Operator is Important.
After researching numerous safari outfits, we found Gosheni had the ideal and flexibly itineraries as well as the best prices.
Owner Peter put together a fabulous 8 day private Safari adventure for us. Locations included: Tarangire National Park, Lake Natron, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. You can select a private or group tour, different levels of accommodations as well as a variety of activities.
2) Guide is Important.
We were very fortunate to have the best guide, William, who was an expert at spotting and knowing about every single animal and bird, as well as details about each area and the history. His driving skills were excellent, navigating very challenging roads safely and skillfully. William is multi-lingual and speaks perfect English. He is also the nicest person and always made sure that we were well taken care of. For example, William has great instincts and we saw two Wildebeest crossings in Northern Serengeti, over 50 giraffes clustered by the road while driving to Central Serengeti, a pool of 20 Hippos in the Seronera River, male and female lions while driving to Ngorongoro Crater... we could go on and on.
3) Vehicle is Important.
Husband and I traveled in a brand new 7-seater Land Cruiser. Gosheni has top of the line Safari vehicles with a pop-up roof, big windows, comfortable double cushioned seats, and wifi (they have USB ports or bring a type G electrical adapter). Jeep was clean every morning when William picked us up.
4) Meals are Important.
Gosheni safaris includes all meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are also able to accommodate any food preferences. We are vegan and had delicious meals. During lunch breaks, we noticed that other tour groups had bag lunches, but Gosheni Safaris provided full course lunches served on dishes, including a tablecloth and cloth napkins, along with unlimited bottled water and soft drinks, even wine is you like. Special touches such as this sets Gosheni apart from all the rest. There are other amenities that we won't mention so that you can be pleasantly surprised.
5) Tip: bring lots of cash for tipping and purchases. US dollars have to be newer crisp bills. Many shops don't have credit cards machines, and even exclusive lodges are cash only as their credit card machines often don't work.
Bring smaller bills for tipping baggage handlers and larger bills for the general tipping jar at the lodge, and of course, at the end of the safari, tip your guide well as he works very hard.
Gosheni is the ultimate choice for the adventure of a lifetime. Be sure to ask for William!!!
Asante sana Peter and William!

Best organization ever for a Safari
The best agency for a Safari... I have done several safaris in few countries and this is by far the best agency in terms of guides (William is the most experienced one for all the parks and has a deep knowledge/love for animals), lodges, new cars with Wifi, organization and they do the extra miles for you for the entire trip (Peter & Richard). Despite the fact that we traveled in the middle of the pandemic, they took all the necessaries precautions for our safety. 100% to be recommended.

We made a memory that will never be tarnished!
This was our first time in Tanzania and even in Africa. So we wanted to go for Safari with the right company and right tour guide as well. After searching a bit, we was sure to do it with Gosheni and our guide should be Ombeni! After 8 days Safari experience, now we know we choose the right company and tour guide.. Ombeni made an unforgettanable memory for us, we saw African big 5 for several times and we had great photos with these wild animals.. As you see, we are crazy people who are travelling during this Covid pandemic! Ombeni and Gosheni made everything very easy for us! He sterilized all the car and reminded us to do the same.. We stayed at very nice camps, all staff and the food were amazing.. If you would like to go for Safari, do it with Gosheni and ask for Ombeni as a tour guide. It is %100 guarantee that you will enjoy a lot and be happy! We came as a client and leaving as friends! Thank you Ombeni!!
