Great trip that fulfilled our expections
Goba Tours Hospitality Solutions were from the very start easy to communicate with. They understood what we were looking for and organised a perfect trip for us to Iringa, Ruaha National Park and Bagamoyo. With an excellent safari driver and a committed guide we experienced a fantastic safari in one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. We saw so all the different animals you hope to see on a safarin, including lepard, a puffadder and cheetas. Goba tours arrangement with lodging in self contained bungalows where they organised meals for us was perfect!
They also showed us an amazing place outside Iringa, Ismalia where there is a stone age site and beautiful canyon.
Goba Tours helped us booking a peaceful and very good hotel in Bagamoyo for a true retreat beside the Indian Ocean at the Bagamoyo Country Club.
Goba Tours were there for us throughout our stay for advice and assistance. A personal, professional company that we are happy to recommend!

Great Safari for two days in Selous Park
We did the safari in a group of four people in selous park. It was very well organized with a good accommodation. Our guide samweli was very kind and has also a lot of experience.
Thanks to Goba Tours for the amazing time!

We felt treated like friends and that we were always welcome to ask if we had aditional needs
It was excellent how Mgoba tours designed a trip maching our interests, family situation and budget. Communication before the trip by email was easy and very reliable. We were picked up by the airport and during the whole trip Martin Mgoba was in touch with us via mobile phone.
All arrangements we had agreed on like drivers for trips in and around Dar es Salaam, a city guide and hotel bookings were well arranged and the peopel involved were very friendly and helpfulll. All worked out very well. The hotel "Wistas" in Dar es Salaam was a great spot to start with. We enjoyed especially the opportunity to stay in a private house and not in a hotel during our safari to Mikumi. i It made us feel home again in Tanzania. The only weak point was the family room at "Funky Squid's in Bagamoyo. The room was extremly basic and AC did not work properly. But the hotel made up with a great beach area and excellent food. Samuel, the driver was with us during our tour to Bagamoyo, Mikumi and back to Dar es Salaam. He was doing a very competent job, was always friendly and easy to talk to. The car was always clean and he was very patient when we needed more stops or had special needs since we were travelling with an infant. We always felt very safe driving with him.
Mgoba tours was a big help to arrange our vacation and I recommend it to other people planning a trip through Tanzania

Excellent trip in fantastic nature
We booked a 6-day-trip from Dar es Salaam to Selous, Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountains. The communication was easy and the tour guide always tried to match our interests: The tour was organized individually for our needs and we always felt safe and well guided. The accomodation which Martin Mgoba chose for us was always clean and fulfilled our expectations. The food was very good. The safaris and the hiking tour were amazing as we saw a lot of animals and natural highlights.
Martin Mgoba and his driver helped us with other problems at any time, too, such as organizing a local sim card or picking up a friend from the airport spontanously.
We had a wonderful time and our expectations were exceeded.
perfect accompaniment and organisation for a tanzania journey
We visited Tanzania in order to learn more about the country, the people, their situation in education and health and about the national parks and the animals. Due to friends in tanzania we had contact points in Dar Es Salaam and in Mtwara. Beside these contacts we need a support for all the other activities. Goba Tours organized to our group of 7 members
- sightseeing in Dar Es Salaam with a private guide. we saw the market, the fishmarket, we went with the public buses, we had a look to the poorer and the better places of the city and vistes a local an historic museum
- Safari in Mbega Camp - we used the bus from Mtwara to the Station Kibiti - and threre the service of Martin Mgoba started. The picked us there and transferred us to the camp. The camp was built with better tents incl. a bathroom. The service was full board and it was cooked fresh for us. The camp is situated beside the Selous -Park. From the camp we started the safari-tour. Martin Mgoba was the guide and Samwuel was the driver. This team supervised us in a excellent way. We saw all the animals there. Lions, Crocodiles, Hippos, Antelopes, Zebras, ...............
Our guides gave answers to all of our questions. We felt us very save and happy. Very positive is that the camp is small and the park isn't run over.
- After the impressing days in Selous Goba Tours organized the next trip back to Dar es Salaam, there a hotel, the ferry to Zanzibar and in Zanzibar the shuttle to the hotel.
Martin Mgoba and his team are competent, reliable, extreme friendly and very helpful. When we will go to back to Tanzania, we will book Goba Tours again.

Nice safaris, nice hotels, nice culture
We‘ve booked a one-week-trip with Goba Tours.
When we arrived in Dar es Salaam, they fetched us from the airport and brought us to our camp at the Selous Nationalpark. The safari was fantastic and although we had a lot of rain, Martin always tried his best to show us all the animals there. And we really liked the food and the accomodation in our camp, especially the view we had from our tent.
After 3 days there we went to Bagamoyo. Martin chose a nice hotel for us. He showed us around in the city and took us to historical places. We especially enjoyed when he visited a public restaurant with us.
All in all, we had an adventurous trip and an amazing time in Tanzania!

Didn't get what we paid for!
The communication with Martin was hard, I had to repeat what I wanted several times. His first offer for a package was more expensive than the individual things combined.
After several emails we agreed to a price.
But we did not get what we paid for.
As an example we paid for 1st class seats on the train but we got the second cheapest tickets.
He never mentioned it and kept the difference in price even after we told him that we want it back.
The camp was very very basic with no electricity except for half an hour after dinner. Which is not enough to charge your phone. No warm water. Lunch and dinner were extremely cheap. Breakfast was good.
The car we used for the game drives was old and broken in several places (one window, again no electricity, mirrors, armrest of one seat was missing and a sharp metal remained on which I cut myself).
When we complained to Martin we were ignored.
I cannot recommend this company at all!

Friendly people showing us amazing places
Martin was with us from day one, organising everything from transportation and hospitality to activities. We were in really good hands and felt well looked after at all times. He showed us amazing places that were far from crowded tourist spots and was a great help overcoming the language barrier to the locals.

We always felt very welcome and taken care of in Africa
Before our trip to Africa I was very excited but very nervous as well. The first time leaving Europe and then to a country as far away as Tanzania. But all my potential worries about the trip were unnecessary. Our guides took care of everything we needed. We felt always safe, welcome and the atmosphere provided by the service was great and friendly. Communication was always very kind and quick no matter what the communication was needed for or how big the group was. The trip in general as well as the service provides were definitely worth the money as really everything was taken care of so that we could enjoy our journey the best way possible. I will always remember Tanzania as an exciting adventure and in the best way possible thanks to Martin and his work :)
