Beyond expectations for a budget priced tour!
Chose an 8 day (Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboselli) budget tour in a 4x4 jeep. First time on safari so wasn't sure what to expect.
Jocky, specifically our guides, Moses and Francis, exceeded all my expectations. Pre-tour communications were informative and responsive. The deposit was easy to do. Pick up from our hotel was on time, and they had us on our way after a quick stop at their office for balance of payment.
The first lodging, a tented camp, was basic but clean and comfortable. The following accommodations got better with each stop and ended in a very nice resort that was well above what I expected. No shortage of food at any time; sufficient variety and all tasty (except the boxed lunches which could use some variety). The itinerary provided enough variety (i.e. different ecosystems) to avoid being repetitive or boring, as well as providing sufficient rest time (i.e. not all 6:30 am starts). It was also completed smoothly, on time, and to plan aside from incidents outside of their control (i.e. traffic congestion, power outages, flooding in park, etc).
The best thing was our guides who were professional but fun and friendly. They clearly communicated each day's plan, knowledgeably and happily answered questions about animals, cultures, history, etc., got us into prime viewing/picture taking positions, smoothly managed transfers of persons joining or leaving the tour, worked hard to overcome unexpected issues (i.e. traffic), and accommodated additional requests where possible (i.e. purchasing SIM card, ATM stops, arranging for PCR test, etc).
In general, a very positive experience, money well spent, and zero hesitation on recommending Jocky Tours!

Experience of a Lifetime!
My husband and I researched various safari companies and Gosheni came out on top because they had options in different price ranges, services that other companies didn't offer and is locally owned. I am so glad we went with Gosheni! We had a wonderful experience from our first contact through the end of the safari. Staff responded quickly to our questions during the planning process. We ran into a problem with our visa for Tanzania and the company owner, Peter resolved it for us so we didn't have any delays entering Tanzania. We also arranged 3 days in Zanzibar following the safari and Gosheni also took care of those logistics.
Albert was our safari guide over four days and he was excellent. He was friendly, responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the area. We started in the Ngorongoro Crater and made our way through the south, central and northern Serengeti. Albert made sure we got good views of the animals, lots of incredible pictures and ensured all our requests were met. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend planning your safari with Gosheni and Albert as your guide. Top notch service and you can really tell they put the client first.

The best tour organizers in the business!
Lawrence and Raymond from Expect in Africa were such a please to work with and we would HIGHLY recommend using them for your Safari tour in Tanzania! The team went above any beyond when our luggage went missing from the airline upon arrival by spending their entire evening and next morning carting us to different stores to purchase the items we would need on the safari. They also coordinated with the local airline in Swahili which really expedited the return of our luggage.
During the actual Safari, Raymond was so amazing! He knew the answers to all of our many questions and made sure we saw every single thing on our list, including a black rhino and the wildebeest river crossing with a crocodile eating a wildebeest right in front of our eyes! We would chat with other guests at the lodges who were with different tour organizers and none of them had seen the extent of animals and experiences each day that Raymond had shown to us. That really proved to us that Raymond was the best guide we could have ever asked for!
You will not regret booking your trip through Expect in Africa, 10 out 10!

He is great and knowledgeable.
It was a wonderful experience with Right Choice. The hotel and food were great than we expected. The tour guy/drive (his name is Jacob) is very good. We were lucky we saw a lot of animals. The people in Kenya are very nice. Bring more changes for tips. Highly recommended Right Choice for Safaris.
