I want to thank you for the excellent attention you have given me on the information I requested to be informed about the safari and others.
I especially want to thank Jose who took his time to answer all the doubts to my colleagues and to me about a job for the faculty. We are really grateful. Regards

Safari was one of my top visit list, and Gosheni help me to realise it.
It was a great experience for me. I am not happy with itinerary. we missed wild beast passing over maasai mara. and it cost us extra plane trip.
But I am happy with our guide Moses. he knows every habitat and spot all the animals on the way to north Serengeti.
I am happy with the lodge and tents I stayed. great experience.
I recommend Gosheni Safari to everybody as Peter can solve any inconvenience in a short time.

Got lost looking for the short cut to Northern Serengeti but the experience was one of a kind
Actual vs. Expectation: We were promised that we'll be able to witness the great wildebeest migration from Serengeti to Maasai Mara but it never happened as we got lost looking for "that short cut" or what our driver calls "Wazu" to Northern Serengeti. However, it was a unique experience. We were able to see outlandish landscapes such as semi-barren grazing lands dotted with tree-tall termite hills. We also had a chance to do off-roading on a dry river bed. We were also able to have more interaction with the Maasai people. Best part of our being lost was our overnight stay in a Maasai Boma near the Kenyan border. Through that, we were able experience spontaneous Maasai hospitality first hand (which I prefer versus the relatively commercialized/semi-rehearsed Maasai Boma tour near Ngorongoro). We also had an unplanned reroute around scenic Lake Natron where we saw thousands of pink flamingoes. In my opinion, all these were good comprises for not being able to see the great migration.
Service: John's cooking is really superb. I don't normally like spaghetti but his take was phenomenal that I had a second round. His beef recipe was also A+. On the other hand, despite our mishaps during Day 1, I think our lead driver-guide Mike was able to handle the situation professionally. The rest of the safari crew was also very supportive. They were quick in setting camp and in attending to our every need.
Rating: I could have given a "5" if we were able to follow the original itinerary and was able to witness the great migration. I would say planning, prior research and coordination with authorities especially when taking unconventional safari routes are areas for improvement. Still, service was great and I can only say positive things about the professionalism that we experienced from the safari crew.

An incredible and amazing experience for life!!!!
It was an amazing experience with the animals in the parks. The guides from Kenya Walking were nice and try to give us the best time in the tour. The cost x benefit of the tour was very good and we recommend for everybody that wants to visit Kenya!!!! Thanks Otieno for everything!!!

Amazing Experience!
Climbing Kilimanjaro was tough, beautiful and overwhelmingly exciting! The Kili Serengeti Guides were superbly helpful, accomodating, well mannered and speaks English fluently. They are kindhearted and happy people. I will definitely contact Imma and co. when I go to Tanzania again, even recommends my experience with them to my family and friends.
Great host, all are helpful and encouraging
All in all it was great. Although there are still rooms for improvements but hey this is africa.. as they say it hakuna matata! You don't have to worry everything will run smoothly! Thanks guys! We had so much fun!

very good safari experience would book again with gecko
very good experience with gecko. the communication was very good (and quick). all our questions were answered. Everything was arranged without flaws from being picked up at the airport, to lodges, games drives to support by checking in for the return flight. The guide was good knowledgeable and very good for the kids (7 + 10 years). I would have absolutely no hesitation to recommend gecko and would happily book again myself.

unknown become known
My stay was good and enjoyed the trip very much, some of my observation for improvements are the Hotel food availability ( 1st two nights stay) was a concern as late comers were short of food at the Buffet, the room was good but the bathrooms needs improvement, My special appreciation to the driver(Issac) he was a great help and you should retain such dedicated employees. Overall we enjoyed the tour very much.

A unique adventure which exceeded expectations.
Our guide, Jane Bettenay, has a wealth of experience and no end of amusing stories which she told around the campfire.
Our cook, Pini, had a wide and varied amount of dishes to suit us all. Everyday she delivered tasty, delicious meals and the rest of Jane's staff were efficient and friendly.
All the campsites were great!
