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!

Gosheni + Moses = Awesome
Absolutely amazing experience with Gosheni and our guide, Moses. He was an unbelievable combination of professional, hard-working and talented. Each morning, he was up at the crack of dawn ready for us whenever we were. He took care of all the little details such as making sure to clean the truck each evening, getting our lunch ready and keeping an eye on the weather. I was blown away at his ability to drive us around for 12 hours a day with consistently high energy and off the charts awareness. Whenever I spotted something on the horizon with my binoculars I found that Moses had already seen the animal and identified it with his eagle-eye vision...all the while keeping most of his attention on the road. It was incredible.
I also have to give a shout out to Peter, who did a great job running the business and communicating with us. We were able to set up a customized tour with him via email that was everything we hoped for. He went above and beyond when, as we were driving to the airport and realized that we had left our camera at our hotel, he found a way to get our camera speedily delivered to us at the airport in time for us to still make our flight.
