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.

Wow! It can't get any better than Gosheni!
My husband, myself and his two sisters thoroughly enjoyed our 8-night 'Migration Safari during Calving' with Gosheni. Our emails were always answered promptly, our safari patiently tailored to our changing requests by Peter and his staff, and payments easy. We were met at the airport by our guide, Gabriel. He had waited hours for our delayed arrival but we soon learned TIA - This Is Africa. However, a late flight was the only glitch and nothing to do with Gosheni. We chose the mid-luxury option as we wanted en suites, but it felt like we were in luxury. The tents and lodges were all very comfortable, and though we were in the middle of the Serengeti, we felt very safe. And spoiled by the attentive service and excellent food and beverages, at each tented lodge or lodge. The highlight of our safari, of course, had to be our guide Gabriel (who looks uncannily like Denzel Washington!). Gabriel was experienced, knowledgable, friendly, funny and a good driver! He seemed to have a sixth sense for spotting wildlife - we saw so much from a lion carrying her cubs to wildebeest calving to a cheetah kill. We saw all of the Big 5 (even the Big 12), and dozens more species, some so close to the Landcruiser our iPhones even took good photos! Gabriel even had us singing ' Jambo...Jambo Bwana...' We were very glad we chose a local company and supported the local economy. So Kudos to Gosheni and especially Gabriel for making our Tanzanian safari so incredible.

Excellent and worth every penny.
Spent two weeks on safari and beach with Gosheni and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a stress free safari. I worked closely with Gosheni on the planning of our safari many months ago and also left some details for them as they have far more experience than I and everything was perfect. We have completed many safaris in the past in Kenya and South Africa, but must say the sightings and experiences we had in Tanzania was the best to date and a wonderful way to celebrate our birthdays. Our guide/driver was professional and informative and very patient with us when we continuously wanted to stay with individual sightings rather than the normal dash off to capture something else kind of safari, probably why we got to witness/capture so many lion kills. Jessica our sales consultant has been excellent from start to finish, even calling me on our drive back to the airport on our final day to ensure everything was ok. If and when we return to Tanzania we will again chose Gosheni to make all our arrangements.

Great safari company! Responsive, organised, knowledgeable, locally owned and well priced.
Gosheni Safaris - Whar a really great safari company!
We have just returned from a fantastic ten-day safari in Tanzania and three-day gorilla safari in Uganda all organised by Gosheni Safaris (and their sister Uganda company). We could not have been more pleased with everything - from the first contact email to the very last day of departure. We began our planning about a year ago and initially went with a non-local company. However we then decided we wanted to travel with a locally owned safari company. Gosheni comes up well on its reviews and so I corresponded with Pendo John where, after many back-and-forth emails we jointly constructed a fantastic itinerary. Pendo is one of the sales managers and I very much enjoyed planning our safari with her. She was prompt in her correspondence, gave us a range of options for accommodation and was very accommodating of our own suggestions. She was also very good on providing advice such as the number of nights we should stay put in one place. Distances in Tanzania are very very long and the roads in the parks are rough and one really needs to rely on the expert advice on how to plan the itinerary. During our safari she contacted me on several occasions to make sure that everything was going alright. Our guide was Enock John and he was fabulous. He has a depth of experience, a wealth of knowledge about the ecology and the animals and much patience with us, his clients who often asked silly questions. I am sure that all the guides are excellent but we feel particularly fortunate to have had Enock. Between Pendo and Enock everything was taken care of. This meant that my husband and I could really enjoy the safari without any worries about forward planning. Pendo organised our three day gorilla tour in Uganda with their sister company (Primate Expeditions). Again everything ran smoothly from getting gorilla permits, the local flights, hotel transfers etc. This is an excellent company with very high-quality staff and extremely reasonable rates. It is also a locally owned Tanzanian company which we think is important. We can recommend Gosheni without any reservations! The safari industry is a very complex market and you can have full confidence of a great safari if you go with Gosheni.

Unforgettable
It was an incredible experience from beginning to end. From the moment we landed we were greeted with such ease. We felt very taken care of. Mount Kili was incredible! I personally got altitude sickness very bad and they went out of their way to accommodate me. We followed Kili with a couple of safaris. They were Amazing and our accommodations were fabulous. I Highly recommend them. The price was very competitive, but they did not skip on quality!

Fullfiling Kilimanjaro Expedition
From our first encounter with Gosheni whilst in SA it was excellent. We were prepared accordingly for the expedition what to expect and how to also get ready. The staff was exceptional and interactive, support all the way up the mountain was extremely excellent. I loved how warm and welcoming they were but most importantly they were very informative and easily encouraged us when the going got tough.......Gosheni Safaris are the best by far
