Amazing Safari Experience!
I highly recommend Gosheni Adventures! From the time we got to the airport, the service that Peter Robert provided us was top notch! Although we arrived about 8 hours apart, Peter personally picked my friend and I from the airport to take us to our hotel in Arusha! He enjoys meeting his clients.
The next day when the Safari was scheduled to begin, my friend woke up with a severe toothache. Peter and our guide, Erasto Nicholas, went out of their way to get her help before beginning the Safari.
Erasto Nicholas, our professional guide, was amazing! We went to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire! His knowledge of the behaviors of the wildlife helped us to see so many animals..…. lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, buffalos, black rhinos, wildebeest migration and much much more! Erasto can spot any animal from miles away! Erasto shared with us the history of Tanzania, background on the wildlife parks, information on the wildlife and personal details about his life and family! Our guide made our experience unforgettable!
You will be extremely happy that you hired Gosheni Adventures!

We had a perfect safari holiday!
It started with the communication over mail with Joao, who was always quick to respond and accurate in giving information. The safari was tailored to my requirements and Joao was very helpful in putting it together to fit my budget and time.
We spent 6 nights and went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Serengeti Mara . Our Safari was wonderful and everything went as planned without a hitch, so thank you for that. All the accommodations recommended and booked were very good and the service everywhere was beyond expectations. Our driver, Ileya, was well informed and had answers to all our questions. He had keen eyes and was a great spotter. I would definitely recommend him as a driver / guide. We got to see all the ‘Big 5’ - and it was all very exciting.
Only a few minor complaints: when we reached Arusha, the office was so small and cramped there was no opportunity to sit down and plan out or discuss details of the trip before setting out.
The Land Cruiser we had was a bit rattly and the interiors were shabby - in need of refurbishment. Considering the number of hours one spends in the car, it becomes an important point to have a comfortable and clean vehicle. My suggestion is to also have a cooler in the car so that water and drinks can be chilled.
But over all everything was just right and I thank It Started in Africa for making it a great holiday!

One of the most well organized trip I have ever been on!
Big Time Safari is a very well run organization with an incredible staff. Martha our tour operator contact person was attentive to our every need from months before our trip and we are still in touch with her now. During the trip she was available at every moment and helped us resolve any issue that would come up. The tour guides were top class, not only in terms of their attentiveness, but also their knowledge. The campsites were also very nice and the food was incredible. I really recommend this tour operator!

Amazing, affordable,friendly,knowledgable team, and easy to work with.
I really was not expecting such wonderful service we received from the time they picked us up from the airport, the drive to the hotel was amazing as the transit driver was very friendly and full of information. It was a sightseeing transfer in itself. We were excited about our safari, we left early morning in a 4x4 truck, the driver guide spoke good English, very friendly and informative. We really enjoyed our safari package, we did not expect it to be so well planned and everyday was an exciting day. Ohh! the wildlife we saw was worth

It was an amazing experience. Andy is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fun.
I had high hopes for my safari experience and Bubezi Safaris did not disappoint. A few friends and I went on safari guided by Andy, and we had an amazing time. Everything needed was provided and more. I would highly recommend Bubezi Safaris to anyone. Andy truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The safari was tailored to our likes and wants. He is extremely knowledgeable and has amazing experiences to share. Bubezi Safaris definitely went above and beyond our expectations. I would use their services again without question.

Professional and safe drivers who spoke good English and had good educational topics about safari
The drivers had good communication skills. we had 9 people in our party and had to take 2 cars from Dar. They had good communicatation on radio during trip. They provided safe driving, and had very good knowledge of the animals to share. I had a youth group and it was very educational for them.

super family safari
As a flight attendant with KLM , I came upon Desirees name, at the "Slipsite", and she had very good reviews written by my colleagues. That is why I decided to contact her; First questions with Desiree were always answered quickly, and to the point, so in no time, we could make our own tailor-made safari. Desiree thought of the smallest details, and we were picked up at every airport by pleasant drivers in good cars. During our safari, our guide Fay was a pleasant and very capable driver/guide, who showed us more than we could have wished for, and always had interesting info available about specific animals and their behaviour. We slept in beautiful tented camps, such as Katikati and Maramboi, at a very pleasant and welcoming B&B near Shira Plateau, Simba lodge, and a stunning Mbalageti lodge with the most beautiful views ever. Fay drove us safely through the savanna and other overwhelmingly beautiful nature parks. as a family of 4 (2 teenagers of 15 & 16 years old) we had a fantastic safari-holiday; a real once-in a lifetime journey. Because the safari was quite tiring (early wake-up, long days in the car over mudroads, dust everywhere) we decided to spend our last 6 days in the beautiful Konokono resort on Zanzibar Island, that Desiree had picked out for us; very friendly and helpful staff, new, spacious villas, and a broad set-up, only 54 guests in such a huge resort; very relaxing and luxurious. for the last day, Desiree had arranged a day room near Arusha airport, so we took an early flight from zanzibar via Dar to Arusha, were there already at 11am, but that way, we would not have to stress if we would make our flight home. We can highly recommend Afroriginal tours, We had a fantastic holiday thanks to Desiree and Fay!
