Exceeded Expectations
Last year my wife and I, having visited many wildlife parks Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, decided to focus on Tanzania. We wanted a custom private tour. First step was to find a tour operator. We decided to focus on Tanzanian companies using Google search. There are many, and we eventually settled on Gosheni Safaris Africa. My first adjudication filter was response time to my inquiry and secondly completeness of the quotation. Next was to call the top three; the deciding factor was that Galdys at Gosheni understood my needs the best, was very flexible yet candid enough to discourage certain destinations in my "laundry' list.
The tour itself was amazing thanks largely to our guide Hassan. One way or another he found not only leopards in trees but lions with their cubs. Cheetahs and lions feeding, black rhino and an amazing array of birds both large and small. Another highlight was seeing wildebbest in various stages of giving birth in the great migration. His was forever on his CB radio exchanging information. Gosheni vehicles are equipped not only with an inverter which allowed us to charge electronic devices but also with a Wifi antenna allowing us to go online in the bush: two big pluses. Hassan is a great spotter, an accomplished SUV driver and very knowledgeable about Serengeti's flora and fauna. All in all a wonderful experience thanks to a good team.

A excellent safari
The company attaches great importance to the feelings of the guests, which is very good. It is very convenient for Chinese sales agents to communicate in advance. The lunch box with hot rice and hot dishes is very suitable for Chinese stomachs. Our director William was very good this time. He had good driving skills and took good care of us along the way. Even when we had a picnic outside, we were very ritualized and took pictures, leaving us many wonderful moments.

Unforgettable experience and guide LABAN
Thank you Peter for your compassion and understanding when my sister was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Thank you Pendo for planning our trip twice.
Most of all, thank you LABAN for implementing our safari above and beyond our expectations. Who else would greet his guests at the airport with wine, snacks and a beautiful smile. Each day was better than the last. His energy was boundless, his knowledge extensive and his personality was fantastic. There wasn’t anything we asked that he couldn’t accomplish. Each day the
Jeep was washed and was meticulous. Laban
absolutely loves his job and praises the company he works for....GoSheni. We arrived as guests and we are leaving as family.

Excellent, out of this world experience!
If you want a wonderful and absolute perfect Safari experience, do not look any further.
We used Gosheni for our trip to Arusha, Tarangire and Seregenti last year and could not have been any happier. We put our trust in all their good reviews on Tripadvisor and it definitely paid off.
Before we even booked our trip, we exchanged countless emails with Peter. We were able to craft a completely custom 11 day trip, based on his recommendations, our requests and recommendations from fellow Tripadvisor users. Peter was always very patient, extremely helpful and fast to respond. My wife is also severely allergic to gluten (celiac disease) and we had to make sure that she is well taken care of. He reached out to all the lodges and also provided us their names & contact information, so that we can also discuss our concerns directly with them. All of them did a fantastic job and the lodges they recommended were wonderful. She did not get sick!
Our guide, Hubert, went completely out of his way to ensure we are having the time of our life. He took care of us like we were family. Thanks to him we saw the big 5 and lots of other incredible animals. We took over 6,000 pictures and still have not sorted through them all.
During our stay we also learned that Peter used to be a guide himself, before he started his own company. He still embraces that role today and takes very good care of everyone, incl. his guides - which is not necessarily given in this industry. The vehicles that Gosheni is using are very new, comfortable and well equipped custom safari jeeps with power outlets, a cooler with various drinks, coffee, tea, Wifi etc. We could not have asked for more!
When we had an issue at one of the camps that we booked (based on the camp's Tripadvisor reviews), Peter, Hubert and their office immediately came to our rescue and secured us a fantastic, brand-new lodge nearby. We even got to meet the owner, who owns over a dozen lodges in Tanzania, and got to hear his incredible story.
This trip was an out of this world experience that we will cherish forever. It is definitely worth it. We have recommended Gosheni to several coworkers, friends & family members and would not hesitate to book with them again.
Asante sana, Peter & Hubert! Until we meet again!

Amazing Experience & First Class Service!
I just returned from Gosheni Safaris’ 11 Day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari – it was the trip of a life time. Gosheni Safaris provided a 5 star level of service! From the start, Gosheni Safaris was wonderful to deal with. We worked with Peter, the owner of the company who was always responsive and patient with all our questions. He truly knows his business and put together an excellent itinerary that covered all we wanted to see and recommended lodges that were above and beyond our expectations. Peter was also flexible to include some additional asks – 1) a visit to the Happy Family Children’s Village (orphanage and school) in order for us to bring the clothing and toys we had collected and 2) arranged for us to meet another Gosheni tour group by putting together a Gosheni Tours lunch at the Ngorongoro Crater. Gosheni Safaris provided a few extra touches not found with other tour companies – wine and snacks set up on a table awaiting us when we arrived at the airport in Arusha; daily lunches set up using china and real silverware; WIFI in the jeep.
We had an extraordinary guide, Zadock – he took care of everything. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and birds; a very experienced tour guide and an excellent driver (it was amazing how he knew his way around all the roads – even in the dark!). I referred to Zadock as the “mayor of the Serengeti” – he knew all the other guides driving by us! Zadock is a sensitive and caring person and extremely customer focused. He always wanted to make sure we were happy, found ways to fit in all our asks, would go out of his way for us (and anyone – he even stopped to help another guide with a tire issue; and provided instructions to another guide on how to find their way to a particular lodge) and made sure we had the best views of the animals! Zadock was the foundation for our amazing experience.
I would highly recommend Gosheni Safaris and would book with them again.
