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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
Cindy is helpful and patient! The guide William is kindness!
We did 5 days Safari trip. Cindy was very patient and helpful! The guide William is very kindness and we saw the big five with him!
Otherwise the wifi connection is quite bad in the camp in Serengeti.

Amazing Safari company which brought us the most amazing Safari experience ever
We had a 10-Days Safari & Zanzibar tour with Gosheni. Cindy was super nice and patient and always readly to help. Our guide William is the best guide ever!!! He is so friendly and experienced and he brought us to see all these animals that are only seen in the documentaries before. The journy wouldn't be such a joy if it weren't for him. We really enjoied every moment of the entire tour and I would recommend Gesheni, Cindy and William to anyone who came to Tazania without any hesitation!
