Amazing Safari experience with William
We have had an amazing experience with Gosheni safari. Our guide is William and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our Safari trip. We had had concerns about the limited animals we could see with rain and tall grass, given we went in late November. However, William was a very experienced guide who knew every inch of the Serengeti national park and where to find the animals. We have called him our Santa Claus as our requests to see various animals were all met up. We saw lions and lionesses, in groups or alone, with baby lions and lioness, with preys or in sleep; cheetahs and baby cheetahs, leopard walking by the road or lying on the tree, dozens elephants crossing river, giraffes in family pack, hippo pond, buffalos etc. The hotels and camp sites were also phenomenal with yummy breakfasts and dinners and good services. For lunch, Willam took food boxes and would set up fancy picnics within the park. To our biggest surprise, at the end of our trip, William shared a video of all the joyful moments in our trip. We had no idea that he has been secretly documenting us and felt really warm-hearted and grateful to have him as our guide. We were really over the moon with the whole experience and especially with William and would highly recommend to friends who would like to experience the safari in Tanzania.

Reliable, professional, best staff 100%
We just successfully reach the summit of Africa yesterday with Gosheni safaris and 15 members of an amazing team lead by Omary our main guide to reach the summit. Omary is an highly skilled guide that reached the summit for the 363 times yesterday. We felt that he truely care for our safety, he was knowledgeable about everything related to the mountain and Tanzania, he is also a devoted father of 2 and pretty much the father of most porter and lot of guide with less experience on the mountain. He truely love his job. Sam,our assistant guide on the trip was also an important part of our success with his contagious energy and help at all time. Sam is in fact a licence guide so we felt lucky to have 2 amazing guides with us. Our cook Thom was also great listening to comment about the food and adapting to our sometime modified taste because of altitude gain. We add the chance to have Kassim with us that played a central role in our confort. He was listening to us and provided anything possible to make our summit possible. He event climbed to the summit with us as a third member of the team to reach the top with us. Kassim is 24, the world belong to this amazing men and we are happy he keeps studying at the guiding school. Gosheni was more high end then other agency. For exemple, in all our acclimatisation hike, Kassim for carrying a table with 2 chairs and food and beverage. We felt vip and customer from other agency eating a basic snack on a rock look at us with envy. We had the perfect time reaching the summit but more important then the summit we reached, we add the chance to get in contact with 15 individuals that made this adventure memorable. Big thank to Omary (guide) Sam (guide) Thom (cook) Kassim (porter, waiter, Suisse knife of the trip) Issa (porter and toilet man) Ibrahim (porter) Mosses (porter) Baraka (porter) Salim (porter) Frank (porter) Nickson (porter) Samora (porter) Prosper (porter) Malkiadi (porter) Omary (porter) you guys are amazing and of course thank to Gosheni safaris!

Great safari experience, would repeat without hesitation
Great experience! Starting from the trip planning the communications (managed by William) were very clear and smooth to organize the tour and select itinerary. In the end we opted for a 5 days/4 nights route including the Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara nations parks as well as a visit to the Ngorongoro crater.
The tour itself was excellent and very punctual, here kudos to our guide Wilson who is very experienced and knowledgeable about his job and also went well beyond his duty and gave us a nice summary of country’s history. It was really a pleasure to spend time with him and we managed to see the big 5:) Accommodations were superb: great camps, an amazing farmhouse close to Ngorongoro, meals were also good and picnic lunches well organized.
In summary the experience was highly satisfying. I sincerely recommend Gosheni Safaris and to ask for Wilson as a guide.

Great safari experience with Gosheni
The safari experience was perfect from start to finish.
We booked our trip with Cindy, who is very efficient and responsive in communication. She suggested some very good accommodation for us according to our needs and booked rooms for us shortly after our request - this is super efficient considering the high demands for popular lodges during a peak season.
Our guide, Arazia, was also super professional and provided impeccable guidance during our safari trip. He is very good at spotting animals, and he is earnest about his job. To be honest, we think a continuous 5-6 day safari trip with 6-10 hours of driving each day is very exhausting, but Arazia never complained anything about his job - what he showed us was always big smiles, passion, and cheerfulness during the trip. He even washed his safari jeep every day to provide us with a clean and good-looking vehicle to start every day's trip. We are grateful to have Arazia as our guide.
Overall, we recommend booking with Gosheni, it won't go wrong booking with them.

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.
