Excellent Safari Experience with Gosheni and our guide Dennis
My husband and I just had an unforgettable 8-day trip to Tanzania. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic experience with the tour operator, Gosheni, and the exceptional services provided by our guide, Dennis.
Dennis’s professionalism and courtesy made our safari experience truly remarkable. His expertise in locating wildlife and catering to international tourists was evident throughout the trip. We greatly appreciated his punctuality, as he was always on time to pick us up from our lodge. Dennis went above and beyond by organizing delicious hot lunches for us during the day, taking into consideration the prevailing weather conditions and our physical well-being. His attention to detail and experience in accommodating varying needs were truly commendable.
Regarding our experience with Gosheni, we were very satisfied with their services. Norah, our sales representative, provided multiple itinerary options and patiently answered all our inquiries. Upon arrival in Tanzania, we discovered that the itinerary was well-planned, and we were highly satisfied with the chosen lodges. In fact, two of the lodges surprised us by celebrating our wedding anniversary.
If I had to say, there were also a few areas where improvement could be made. Firstly, the lodge in Arusha on the first day did not match the promised room category in the agency’s itinerary. Secondly, there was some confusion regarding whether lunch was included on our final day, and Norah repeatedly miscommunicated on this matter. Additionally, it would be better if we were notified in advance of the detail arrangements (who will be the guide, when will we be picked up, etc.).
Overall, our trip to Tanzania with Gosheni was truly enjoyable, and thanks to the professionalism and expertise of our guide, Dennis. I would highly recommend Gosheni to fellow travelers seeking a memorable safari experience in Tanzania.

Amazing Trip with Gosheni Safaris
Many thanks to Gosheni Safaris and our outstanding guide Laban. My wife and I visited several Northern parks with Gosheni and it was an amazing trip. Our first park was Tarangire and we saw herds of elephant, lions, cheetah, leopard and a huge variety of eagles. Lake Manyara had tree climbing lions. In Ngorongoro Crater we saw huge herds of zebra, rhino and huge tuskers. Gosheni toured us in a new Landcruiser with plenty of space and provided hot meals in the bush. And our guide Laban was outstanding. He could identify an amazing number of bird species and it was a pleasure spending our week with him.

What more you need from a trekking company to tackle Mt. Kilimanjaro
Omary and his team of porters, support staff and chef went above and beyond to make sure we successfully scaled Kilimanjaro.
They provided assistance and encouragement throughout the entire journey. Hiking this mountain is no joke and Omary's team is hands down focused on achieving your goals.
Special shout-out to Adam, Ridhiwandi, Salimu, Kasimu and Halifan for the laughs, the encouragement, and the patience.
If you choose this team, you won't regret this challenging yet rewarding experience. You'll walk away having creating a new family and lifetime experiences.

Fantastic Trip with Gosheni Safaris
My wife and I had a fantastic ten-day private safari in Tanzania with Gosheni Safaris in July 2024. We worked with Norah in their office to plan a custom safari that included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti National Park and the Northern Serengeti. She was helpful, patient and very responsive.
Our guide on the safari was Arnold, and he was fantastic. He seemed always to know the best routes and the best places to see wildlife, and did his best to accommodate our interests. He was a veritable font of knowledge about wildlife, trees and plants. We saw everything we hoped for and much more -- the so-called big five, the great migration, and wildebeest river crossings, plus large numbers of giraffes, gazelle, zebras and many other animals, and uncountable numbers and species of birds.
The tour vehicle was in great condition and comfortable. Gosheni provided delicious hot lunches daily. The accommodations (hotels on the first and last night, and tented camps the other nights) were delightful. On a whim, we let them know the trip was a celebration of our 40th anniversary. To our surprise, they honored us nearly every night.
The entire Gosheni team provided a well-coordinated and wonderful safari that exceeded our (admittedly high) expectations, at a competitive price.

Gosheni -- providing an unforgettable safari experience
Gosheni made our bucket list trip dreams come true, providing a safari adventure that surpassed all of our expectations!! Their professionalism and attention to detail, clear coordination and communication, extremely knowledgable and hospitable guide, and willingness to personalize our safari was unlike any we’ve experienced before.
Everything started with communicating with Herman to plan and personalize our trip. He did a spectacular job at ensuring we’d experience the best of Tanzania while not feeling rushed. Herman even met with us our first day in-country to ensure we were refreshed on every detail of our upcoming adventure.
Our guide, Laban, became a fantastic friend by the end of the trip. He provided unparalleled service, knowledge, and was extremely welcoming, warm, and friendly from the moment we met. He truly made our experience unforgettable and a ton of fun. Laban was adept at finding animals and because of him, we were able to see everything we dreamt of and more. It was immediately clear to us why Laban has earned so many impressive accolades. Laban was very generous and excited to provide us with unique and personalized experiences throughout our adventure. Lastly, he taught us a lot about the language and wonderful culture of Tanzania, demonstrating his passion for sharing knowledge and helping to immerse us in the experience.
Gosheni as a tour operator also sticks out from the rest. Their 4x4 vehicles are in impeccable condition, extremely clean, comfortable, and reliable. You’ll enjoy the air conditioning for long drives, which most safari vehicles lack—and their specially-designed windows and pop-up roofs offer unrestricted visibility. Something else that stuck out about Gosheni is that our guide set up a full picnic lunch with a tablecloth, plates, and a hot multi-course meal, while almost every other safari group we saw had a paper box lunch. We felt incredibly lucky and this was truly a huge step above all other tour operators.

Awesome Safari
Thanks to Peter for putting together a memorable safari. We contacted several companies and only Gosheni Adventures was responsive and made an effort to keep within our budget. Accommodation was top notch and our days were filled with up close experiences with the Big Five plus many more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to our family or friends. We will be back to repeat the experience.

Terrific Trip!!!
Thanks to Gosheni Adventures my three weeks vacations in Tanzania with my husband and friends were just AMAZING! Peter from Gosheni and my husband planned a nice schedule that included climbing Mount Meru, Mount Kilimanjaro and go to Safaris in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Very intense three weeks with lots of fun and activities and Gosheni provided excellent guides, drivers and cooks. For various reasons, including boots that did not fit correctly, I decided that I should not go to Mt. Kili after my husband and friends finished Mt. Meru. And, I need to thank Richard, our guide in Mount Meru for his patient and knowledge dealing with my issues climbing the mountain. Even though it was an unexpected change in our schedule, Peter was able to put together a trip to Zanzibar for me and my husband while our other friends went to Kilimanjaro. We had a great time in Zanzibar, the beaches were great, transparent water, pure white sand and amazingly clean. Food, people and the hotel were more than we expected. Peter did a wonderful job! Samir was our driver for the Safaris he was tireless driving us around the parks to show us the most beautiful scenes in the wild. As our friend Jane said it was an experience of a lifetime. In addition, our cook Anton always provided us with delicious meals. Under my request, he also cooked local food like Ugali, yummy! So, if you are planning to explore Tanzania with all its beauty and wildlife Gosheni Adventures is the way to go!
Great safari tour company !
I must say the efficiency, enthusiasm and willingness of this tour operator is highly commendable. I just sent an enquiry to them (and i sent it on a weekend as well) enquiring about a 5 day safari to Tanzania (Nothern curcuit) not expecting to hear from them for days, but voila !!! not only did I get a response within hours, I also got a complete itinery as well. They also responded very promptly to my queries and alterations of the itinery and were eager to willing to tailor make it to our choosing. They are extremely polite in their correspondence and their prices are also competitive. Unfortunately due to unavoidable circumstances we werent able to go on the said safari with this company but I really cant recommend them enough for their promptness, efficiency in dealing with our tour proposal. I wish them the best of luck and hope to hire them for my next safari to Africa !! :))
