Incredible safari with top knotch tour guide
Shadrack planned a perfect trip for my friends and me and was very engaged throughout the entirety of the trip. He even picked up one of our friend's passports after it was mistakenly left at a hotel.
Our safari guide, Tony, was knowledgeable, friendly and a big reason why we had such an incredible trip. The sheer amount of wildlife was breathtaking and our accommodations were excellent throughout our journey.
I highly recommend Shadrack, Tony and Gofan Safaris and we will definitely book through them again if we return to Kenya.

A great first time safari experience in Masai Mara and Amboseli
My friend and I were visiting Kenya for the first time, and we chose Gofan Safaris because it was one of the few programs that visited both Masai Mara and Amboseli National Parks on a reasonable schedule and price. The trip exceeded our expectations and we had a great tour of the parks. Despite visiting during an off-peak season, we were fortunately able to see plenty of wildlife, including some rare sights such as a cheetah hunting its prey and a lioness feasting along the road. Although we were not able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro, which we hoped to be the highlight of the trip, the four-day safari was one of the best vacations I had of recent memory.
Also, the staff of Gofan Safaris were very kind and supportive of us. Shad, who planned our trip, kindly visited us early morning in Nairobi so we may begin our trip. Franco, our guide and driver, explained to us the different animals in the parks and explained to us of the culture of Kenya as well. The accomodations were also beyond our expectation with comfortable lodging, great food, and great staff.
I would defintely like to visit Kenya with Gofan Safaris again if I had a chance to do so. It was a great 4 day tour!

I had wonderful Kenyan Safari experience which was very well organised and planned by Gofan Safaris.
I went to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Aberdares in November 2018.This was my second Safari experience with Gofan Safaris. I was very much impressed and happy with services provided by them from very first time when I toured Amboseli national park. I decided the same day that when ever I will plan for next Safari I will plan with Gofan Safaris only. Their planning and organizing for entire tour is very good. Their staff is very cooperative and make sure that your entire tour will become memorable one. They provide you proper guidance throughout the tour. They are always at your support during the tour. I am happy to share this experience and recommend them.

not a very good experience
we went for a 11days trip to kenya and tanzania with family of husband wife and minor kid.we went with masai safari which provided a wonderful trip in kenya.they had sublet the tanzania part to gofan.when we arrived in arusha things were ok but not nice as mr meena from gofan met us and intially refused to provide water in the car which after some pressure and telling that i will call up masai safari to sort out issue mr meena did at last provide it.our driver guide joseph was good and we di enjoy our next 2 days in lake mynara and nogorongoro.the trouble started on the 3rd day when we reached the gates of serengati national park.we were made to wait 5 hours with food and little water as the great mr meena had not paid the park fees.we called hime after 1 and half hours and he continously lied that it will take only 10 mins more.ultimately nearly after 5 hrs without lunch and a small kid we managed to enter.we missed the game drive we were to do and went to reach our camp at about 4.30 to 5pm.NOT A SINGLE APOLOGY OR SORRY FROM GOFAN for this weird behaviour..there are lots of good reliable operators.my suggestion go look somewhere else.

Excellent Experience
Mr. Masinde organized the whole trip and answered all the questions we had before we embarked on the safari. Our driver/ tour guide, Mwanzia, was very knowledgeable about the animals we were to see and was punctual for all activities. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the animals that were there and made sure that our safari was a delight. Our safari included some respite time in Mombasa to an awesome resort on the ocean. I would use this company again for a trip to Africa. Thank you Mr, Masinde and Mwanzia!

What a treat, we were treated like royality throught our Safari.
Onesmus was our driver /guide he did a great job doing both. Saw so many animals that I lost count. If I were to go back I would deal with Shadrack and Gofan Safaris. Great price also.

one of the best
one of the best companies belive them they know what to do and how to do
i love wild game drives
it’s been so much more than what we expected for a safari in Africa, we had a really African adventure sleeping in tents and enough wild game drives, no words to explain but we were so humbled to get an opportunity to travel with Gofan safaris
Awesome
For anyone out there looking forward to an African tour from personal experience you should try Gofan safaris. My wife and our two children of 6 and 10 years old, we all loved our Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari suggested by Gofan.
