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!

Gosheni was very knowledgeable,organized and extremely easy to work with.
Right from the beginning of our hunt for an operator we found Gosheni very responsive. Communications were timely, effective and correct. From the time we arrived at the Airport in Arusha we were warmly greeted by Gosheni staff, transferred to our hotel and then met with Pendo John who went over all details of our six day safari. The next morning we flew to Kogatendi on a very clean Cessna Caravan, met our outstanding guides Ombeni and Zachariah, loaded our bags and the adventure was on!
The two vehicles were cleaned each morning, the fridge was stocked daily and the vehicles were in fabulous shape.
We saw two crossings of Wildebeest on the Mara river, saw all of the big five plus many more that the guides always found and explained all details of their habitat.
Our family of 10 could not have been happier with our Safari experience with Gosheni! Thank you for a magnificent trip.

An experience of a lifetime
We chosed Gosheni Safaris after we heard excellent peedback from our friends. We wanted to have the same tour guide - Enock. We had highly expectations. Well performance meet expectations. During the prepשration and arrangements before, Pendo was very kind to all our questions. During the trip Enock was attentive, has extensive knowledge, answer very patiently to all the questions (and there were so many....) responds to all requests (include to find our youngest child's shoe which was forgotten in one of the lodges). He changed some of the original plan' to our request and was very plesant. Lodges were wonderful (especially Endoro lodge) and the combination of all this makes an unforgettable time to our family. Thanks Goshenis, hope to see you again when our youngest will have Bar - Mitzva !

Trip of a Lifetime
We were traveling in early December 2017 for 7 days with Gosheni Safaris and would like to share our experiences here.
The first surprise was that within a few hours we received an answer to our travel request from Peter, the owner. The many following detailed questions were answered promptly, detailed and friendly.
The offer was so good that we booked the trip and made a 30% down payment. The balance was then paid in cash at the beginning of the safari.
Our tour took us over the Tarangire NP in the Serengeti and then to the Ngorongoro crater. Finally, we visited Lake Manyara NP.
The journey began with pickup by our guide Laban at Kilimanjaro airport.
Laban is a very friendly and very competent guide. He guided us safely and sovereign through the week. So we were e.g. totally thrilled that we could get into a freshly washed vehicle every morning. Laban cleaned the vehicle - an new Landcruiser (!) - inside and out after each day's journey. We have not seen this at any other safari company. You can imagine how these vehicles look like after a week without care ...
The selected accommodations (Palace Hotel Arusha, Maramboi Tented Lodge, Serengeti Acacia Camp, Ngorongoro Farm House) were absolutely outstanding. In particular, the Serengeti Acacia Camp - you hear the lions and hyenas roaring at night. A unique experience.
To the animal observations one can only say: The absolute madness !!
To detail everything in detail would lead too far. Unforgettable moments are guaranteed.
So we were lucky enough to meet the big migration and see hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras.
A pleasant and competent guide is pretty much the most important thing on a safari. Because with him you finally spend the whole day - if he is not motivated then you see only half of the animals. Without a trained eye, it is impossible to see a leopard 50 meters away on a tree. Our guide Laban was an absolute hit!
Gosheni Safaris attaches great importance to satisfied customers - we can only recommend this company. We definitely did not expect such a high standard.

An amazing 7-day Safari in Tanzania
We chose Gosheni for our safari and could not be happier. Pendo helped us create an itinerary to suit our tastes and was very responsive when we asked for a few adjustments. Our driver and guide Zadock was great too, accommodating every request and helping us find and identify many different animals and birds. The jeep was comfortable and clean, with cold water, soft drinks and tea/coffee available whenever we wanted it. We couldn't be happier with our experience - it really felt like Gosheni wanted to give us the best possible week, and we'll never forget it.

An amazing company with amazing people
It was a long and arduous process to choose a safari company for my Kili climb and Migration Safari. I ended up with Gosheni and they turned out to be one of the best companies and experiences I have ever had since I embarked 6 years ago on traveling the world. Peter Robert was amazing to work with and meticulously put together an itinerary and team that far exceeded my expectations. The Kilimanjaro climb team was amazing, from the porters, to the chef to the guides. They helped me get to 17000 ft. before I succumbed to severe altitude sickness, damn you living at sea level!!! The team genuinely cared and it showed in everything they did for me. On the safari portion, the driver, vehicle and service were all 5 stars. Every day of the safari the driver setup a table in the Serengeti that offered, sodas, coffee, tea, wine, etc. None of the other vehicles did this, and the ones that tried did not compare. With so much completion you must do extras to standout and Gosheni did, I felt so spoiled the entire trip and although our driver was nervous about me seeing the crossing he delivered 2x. One crossing lasted almost 45 minutes, the other drivers were going nuts saying how awesome it was, and if they were excited you know it was not an average crossing. I will not soon forget my experience in this amazing country and Gosheni made everything so worry-free and easy. Save yourself the $$$ and give Peter Robert a chance, you will not be disappointed. His companies motto is not advertising nonsense it is so true, expect the unexpected
Excellent
Went on a Ngorongoro/Serengeti safari with Gosheni. Reasonable price and excellent experience

Best Safari at best price
We are a group of friends. We have talked with many of the Safari Tours from Arusha. We chose Gosheni Adventures since they understand our needs and offered the best possible price. We did 5 days safari 1 night in Tarangire 2 nights in Serengeti and 1 night in Ngorongoro. Our choice was to stay in Luxury lodges and tented camps. And Gosheni Adventures provided us best value for money. They were very helpful during the organization process and also during the safari.
On the other side, our guide Samir was a perfect guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. He made our trip much better! We have completed big five and had a very good time. We felt like he was a part of our group! Thank you Samir!
What can you expect more from a safari?
- Best price
- Professional Guide
- Helpful management team
- Good hotels
- Comfortable Car
We found all at Gosheni Adventures.
Thanks a lot again! We will see each other again!
