Once in a lifetime experience - Gosheni Safaris made it happen
Gosheni Safaris was an amazing company to have such a unique experience with.
Starting with the booking process, Herman was cery easy to communicate and coordinate with - he helped tailor the trip to our wants and needs.
The itinerary was perfect - would not change a single thing.
Our guide Ombeni was extremely fun, easy, flexible and knowledgeable of every single species we came across, he was passionate and knew how to pace each day. We saw everything you could dream of seeing on an African safari: lions, cheetas, leopards, great migration, rhinos and so more.
The meals for each day were very well prepared and served hot (as opposed to lunch boxes), and breakfasts/dinners were great too, the hotels were clean and spacious and the car was comfortable - perfect for long drives and peeking out of the window and roof to take pictures. They had charging stations in the car and binoculars, soft drinks and water. They even gave us safari hats.
Overall the trip had a really good value for money.
Could not recommend them enough.
Thank you for the amazing time!

Absolutely Unforgettable Experience
Cannot recommend highly enough. I had high expectations based on other reviews and after vetting 20+ companies, but somehow Gosheni managed to beat my expectations anyways. From the start, Herman was extremely communicative and accommodating to help us customize our tour. Our guide Ombeni was absolutely next-level - with 14 years of experience (including driving for National Geographic), his passion, knowledge, and energy made all the difference for unforgettable game drives and seeing things we only could have dreamed of (all big 5 some with babies and kills, multiple cheetahs...). For any safari, the guide is absolutely critical to see the best things (some guides do the bare minimum), and you can't go wrong with Ombeni. Vans are standard but all lunches are hot and fresh (most companies do boxed lunches instead), and even served with a tablecloth and proper cutlery. The accomodation included (Mount Meru Hotel, Acacia Luxury Camps, Ngorogoro Castle) were all fantastic. If you're still looking for a safari company do yourself a favor and book with Gosheni.

Excellent tour operator and the best guide we've ever had.
Everything about the experience was amazing from start to finish. We were fully taken care of from the second we were picked up from the airport all the way until we were dropped back off at the end of the safari. The meals and accomodations were great, and our guide was spectacular. He was able to show us everything we hoped to see and more, and was able to answer every question we had. I cannot recommend Gosheni and our guide Ombeni enough.

7-days Kilimanjaro Hike
Thank you so much to Omar, our main guide and Bennie, our second guide with 14 porters including a chef and waiter for 2 of us. They were very thoughtful and took great care to ensure we summit successfully. The food was excellent, hot soup at every dinner, tent was comfortable. Because the hike was hard, they carried our day packs all days. They checked our health every mornings and nights. The company is very trustworthy. We also booked safari with them. We highly recommend this tour company. Also the personal toilet is a MUST, well worth every penny! Thank you for a wonderful once a lifetime hike.

A highly professional safari tour company
Most safari companies operating in the Serengeti area are very similar but.
Our guide had 14 years experience. He knew everybody and everything. This knowledge added to our overall experience as he (Azza) was able to explain everything we needed to know about the wildlife we were seeing.
To our surprise there is a fridge in your car offering unlimited water, bees and wine.
Azza could not do enough for us. He washed and sterilised his hands before setting out a table cloth and serving lunch. He would then tell us interesting facts about life in Tanzania. The car was cleaned inside inside every night.
After every tour, the Land Cruiser car is taken to an in house garage where twelve mechanics check the vehicle over before it is used again. Safety and reliability are key as we saw two overturned vehicles during our five day trip.
All guides must stay with you until you take off on your flight out of the park.
In summary, a five star company that are very experienced and go the extra mile. Thank you Gosheni.

Great safari experience with Gosheni
The safari experience was perfect from start to finish.
We booked our trip with Cindy, who is very efficient and responsive in communication. She suggested some very good accommodation for us according to our needs and booked rooms for us shortly after our request - this is super efficient considering the high demands for popular lodges during a peak season.
Our guide, Arazia, was also super professional and provided impeccable guidance during our safari trip. He is very good at spotting animals, and he is earnest about his job. To be honest, we think a continuous 5-6 day safari trip with 6-10 hours of driving each day is very exhausting, but Arazia never complained anything about his job - what he showed us was always big smiles, passion, and cheerfulness during the trip. He even washed his safari jeep every day to provide us with a clean and good-looking vehicle to start every day's trip. We are grateful to have Arazia as our guide.
Overall, we recommend booking with Gosheni, it won't go wrong booking with them.

Great safari experience, would repeat without hesitation
Great experience! Starting from the trip planning the communications (managed by William) were very clear and smooth to organize the tour and select itinerary. In the end we opted for a 5 days/4 nights route including the Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara nations parks as well as a visit to the Ngorongoro crater.
The tour itself was excellent and very punctual, here kudos to our guide Wilson who is very experienced and knowledgeable about his job and also went well beyond his duty and gave us a nice summary of country’s history. It was really a pleasure to spend time with him and we managed to see the big 5:) Accommodations were superb: great camps, an amazing farmhouse close to Ngorongoro, meals were also good and picnic lunches well organized.
In summary the experience was highly satisfying. I sincerely recommend Gosheni Safaris and to ask for Wilson as a guide.
