Amazing African adventure!
Gosheni provided my son and I with the adventure of a lifetime. As this was my first international trip - I had soooo many questions and concerns. Peter answered them all quickly and was very patient with my questions. He also worked with me to customize the experiences to exactly what I wanted to do. While the company is based in Tanzania, he was able to plan experiences in other parts of the world through other companies. I didn't have to worry about anything! I just got to enjoy the experience! I can't say enough about how amazing this experience was and how incredible the service of Gosheni is...I highly recommend Gosheni! Dream come true! Thank you!

Excellent and attentive service resulted in a phenomenal trip
Climbing Kilimanjaro requires a guide and team that is there for you through all the challenges. Omari and his team did that and went above and beyond. His team guided us through difficult terrains, helped us with the gears, provided assistance with our bags when we needed it most, fed us delious food, checked our heath twice a day to ensure we were trekking safely and most of all anticipated our needs before we had to ask. Their knowledge of the terrain and ability to translate that knowledge to those new to the mountain was critical to our success.
I highly recommend his team/Gosheni to anyone considering summiting Kilimanjaro.
Thank you to the following team members for their support during the journey! The dream team: Guide Omari, Adam, Chef Omari, Ridhiwani, Salimu, Kasimu, Halifan, Juma, Mosses, Malikiadi, Kija, Ally, Ibrahim, Fikiri, Dallas, Samora, Rabiel, Alex and Maulid!

Considerate, kind and a good leader of all
I cannot say enough about how amazing Omary and his team were in guiding us to the top of Kilimanjaro. By the end of the journey we felt bonded to everyone. The team did everything to make sure we were safe, comfortable and well fed! Most of all they embodied Hakuna Matata, a positive attitude!

Excellent safari company with nice perks
Gosheni Safaris are excellent and trustworthy company. Their safari was excellently planned, everything was on time and we received a lot of unforgettable experiences. Also our guide Leben was extremely caring, knowledgeable and fun person who had this almost magical ability to spot all animals and keep all our trip on track. Hot lunches provided by Gosheni are also highlight as they were very tasty and everydau portion of hot soup was a life saver on some days.
Obviously I would highly recommend Gosheni on your safari adventure.

We are coming back and will be booking with Gosheni again!
What was meant to be a family trip for my mum's 70th birthday in 2020 got COVID delayed until 2023, but we finally made it!
We did 8 days / 7 nights covering Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw all of the big 5; lion cubs are CUTE followed very closly by three cheetahs brothers rolling around in the grass just being big cats.
What could have been a dampener on the whole trip, my mum's luggage got lost/delayed by Qatar, got turned around by the team at Gosheni - they got us into Arusha to pick up supplies before heading out in safari, and then kept chased up with the airline and managed to get her luggage delivered into one of the small airports in Central Serengeti a couple of days later - AMAZING service!
Our guide Laban was something else to behold - he is knowledgeable, passionate about the animals, environment and culture. His sharp eves meant we saw everything we had wished for and so much more. He was a pleasure to be around and made the trip even more special. He was so kind to my mum, helping her in and out the 4x4, making sure he used her phone and his binoculars to get her some spetactular photos - a true gentleman. Reading the reviews again after the trip its clear Gosheni knows how to pick their guides perfectly.
We also should mention the accomodation and their staff were all fantastic and the most friendly, welcoming people you could hope to meet. Food was great, and the packed lunches were always good - we were never hungry! Having a pinic lunch under a tree in the middle of the Serengeti with wildebeest just wandering around was a highlight.
Many, many thanks to Peter for all the planning and being so accomidating with the COVID delays, and just as many thanks to Laban for being an truly incredible guide.
We are coming back and will be booking with Gosheni again!

Great customer service and experience.
We had a very smooth experience with William throughout the planning of our trip. He was very patient and attentive clarifying our questions and building the itinerary according to our needs. Our guide tour who is also called William was great and very experienced. He was always willing to go above and beyond to provide an unforgettable experience to our family. This was an amazing trip.

Safari Experience
It was absolutely wonderful booking a Safari tour with Gosheni Safaris Africa. The food, accomodations and hospitality were the best, bar none. Everyone was so friendly and helpful that l literally had to do nothing. Our guide Ombeni was the best. He made us feel at home the first minute we met him and he has a great sense of humor. He knew exactly where to go to see anything worth seeing. We were able to see the big 5 animals in this one tour, which is a hard thing to do. I highly recommend Gosheni Safaris Africa when booking your next safari tour. They are well worth the time and money!

Very experienced, responsive and flexible to clients needs
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this company. We started planning our safari trip earlier in 2022 and reached out to a number of different companies. Gosheni was the best in terms of pricing and what they offered. Peter was a terrific communicator. He was very accommodating and flexible with our itinerary.
From the moment we landed in Tanzania to the moment our safari trip came to an end we had the most seamless experience. I had asked Peter to arrange to have some one pick us up at the airport. Our driver, Jesse, was waiting for us as soon as we exited the terminal and took us to our private airport transport. He made us feel so comfortable and ensured we were comfortably dropped off to our rooms in the hotel.
The safari itself was incredible. Our tour guide, David, was very experienced. He had very good knowledge of wildlife and was a terrific spotter. We got to see all the wildlife we came to see and more! And we learnt alot about wildlife from him. He went above and beyond for us and we cannot thank him enough. For example, we really wanted to see a black rhino (which are limited in numbers) and on the last day he managed to spot one in the distance!
David also made sure that we got to see the wildebeest migration. The day we went to see the crossing there were a number of other groups also waiting to see this but many of them missed out. David expertly practiced patience and he eventually spotted the crossing in the distance! This was the most exciting experience and one I will never forget.
The days were long and involved ALOT of difficult driving, but David carried on always prioritising our comfort and experience. He was a very experienced guide and I am grateful we were allocated someone with his knowledge, experience and patience.
Our accommodation at each location was very beautiful, clean and comfortable. Waking up to the sounds of lions, or to elephants wandering outside our rooms was an experience I will never forget.
The number and diversity of wildlife we got to see during this trip was unbelievable. This truly was a trip of a lifetime and Gosheni made it an unforgettable experience.
The only thing I would add is we did a masaii village tour (which we requested be added to the tour). Personally this was our least favourite part of the tour, and if I do another safari I would not do it again. The experience felt forced, awkward and we felt guilted into spending money. Please note however this is NOT a criticism of the company as this is something we requested be added on.

An Incredible team providing a memorable Safari!
This tour exceeded all our expectations! Booking and paying for the safari was a seemless process thanks to Peter. He was very accomodating and easily added on a day hike up part of Kilimanjaro to the end of our tour.
The Safari itself was incredible! Jaw dropping unbelievable! Our guide William was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He had an impressive understanding of the wildlife and fauna, and was familiar with all the less traveled roads which ensured we saw all of the big animals within the first half of the day! William went out of his way to make sure that we had an unforgettable experience. We went with the luxury package and felt it was money well spent. The accomodation was very comfortable (and the food delicious). William even set us up a picnic lunch under the canopy of the Safari van with real crockery and wine!
An unforgettable experience thanks to an excellent company with wonderful staff. Thank you William and Peter for making our trip to special. Would highly recommend you book your safari with Gosheni tours!
