One of the best tours we ever had
5/5

We went over dozens of tours of Kenya and Tanzania looking for a 10- to 14-day safari covering all major attractions of the regions. The Image Travel itinerary was one of the best for us. We did communicate with three or four other companies gathering details about the tour, but selected Image Travel. Among other things, they were the best in providing additional information about the tour. Accommodations and food were excellent (some exceeded expectations). We did have one stressful day when our jeep had a major breakdown in the middle of nowhere. The problem was eventually solved, arrangements for a replacement vehicle were made, and we got a really outstanding driver-guide for the rest of the tour. Out of three African safaris we had, this one was by far the best.

Well knowing, nice guide and staff.
5/5

Went on a 3 days camping safari with SED. Really good guide with high knowledge. Had alot of experience, good to find simbas, rhinos etc. Many other cars came buy to ask for directions for intresting animals. Even helped me with my phone when it was out of function. Good chef aswell which listens to requests. Got alot of food. Easy to communicate with on email to arrange the trip with a very nice staff.

Can highly recommend.

Tanzanians were very friendly and happy to have cisitors. At nonpoint did I feel unsafe. A safari trip to Serengeti is a must - we spent 2.5 days there and saw so many animals including many cubs and nearly a couple of lion or cheetah hunts. It was amazing! We had a local tour company Suricata that was excellent. We stayed in very nice but locally owned lodging which was amazing - good food, very clean, and staff that were so friendly and helpful. Forest Hill Hotel outside of Arusha was wonderful and peaceful. I don’t think there is anything compelling within Arusha. We also spent teo days at the end of the trip in Zanzibar at the Tembo Hotel which is a beautiful old historic building and perfectly situated for strolling around and beaching. The diversity of people and cultures in Zanzibar was fabulous. Tanzania is relatively stable, safe and very friendly and an amazing experience.

Luxury safaris here are famous for being some of the most exclusive and private in the world.

5/5

This vast wetland attracts much game due to its lush vegetation and permanent water supplies – luxury safaris here are famous for being some of the most exclusive and private in the world, and the game viewing never disappoints. Due to the flat nature of the Delta the sunrises and sunsets are particularly colourful, which makes for excellent photographic opportunities when you do find your herd of zebra.

Terrific Trip!
5/5

We did a 5 day family trip during X-mas. Gosheni Adventures over-delivered! Peter was the most responsive tour operator I've ever worked with, answering my calls and emails consistently within minutes, and extremely flexible and accommodating.

Despite us giving Peter very little time to work with, Gosheni managed to fit everything we wanted in, give us a great deal of exposure to animals, culture and even fantastic lodging. Great value for money and time.

I would certainly use Gosheni again!

5/5

We travelled to Tanzania in May23 and booked our safari through Roadside Expeditions Tanzania. The email communications from Paul were excellent and we couldn't fault the service we received. Our guide Justin was amazing and a good ambassador for Tanzania. Advising us of the culture and wildlife on safari. Tanzania is a stunning country with a wealth of beautiful scenery and many varied wildlife. We went to Tarangire Park where we saw elephants, giraffes, lions and the wonderful baobab trees. We also visited the Serengeti where we saw the big 5 safari and many more wonderful animals. Also Ngorogoro crater which was incredible too. There are nit enough superlatives to describe our Tanzania experience. All the hotels we stayed in were comfortable, people welcoming and friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to return to this wonderful country Tanzania.

Safe trip with Kenya expresso
4/5

Me and my husband had a very pleasent trip in Kenya in September. Paul was very helpful to manage our trip. He answered to all our question in a short time. Kenya is beautifull. We had a very nice guide, our "big baboon" Lucky! He did all to make us feel safe and he always try to satisfay our request. Just a regret...we could not to see the leopard, but we saw lions, cheetah and a lot of beautifull and savage animals! We will never forget Lucky! All the Hotels was perfectly inserted to the african nature and very comfortables. Thank you for all!

Slow life vibes in amazingly beautiful nature with rich wildlife
Overall rating
5/5

During our 2 weeks holiday we went for 5 days private safari and rest of the time we spent at Zanzibar. It was just wonderful experience. We booked safari with local operator Gosheni which was very reliable, knowledgable and professional from the first email exhange until the end of the trip. We started at Tarangire NP where we had quite private feeling due low number of other cars which we met. We saw lot of wildlife, mainly elephants, zebras, antilopes, wild pigs, girrafes etc. We spent night directly in the park at amazing lodge. We opted also for night safari which was nice mainly due to beautiful sky full of stars. When it comes to animals there were not many but still it has its spirit. Next day we moved to Serengeti what was 6 h drive but there is always something interesting to see so journey was not boring at all. And Serengeti itself is WOW. Endless land, animals wherever one looks. We felt like in the movie. Driving with open roof, admiring mother nature while listening to our guide who provided us with information about country itself, tribes and their culture and of course aboute animals. After two nights there we visited Ngorongoro crater which was already more crowded, also because of its size. It was indeed beautiful, however after Serengeti it didnt have such wow effect for us. Still, we could see few spieces which we didnt in Serengeti, such as hyenas, flamingos and black rhinos. After night spent at the rim of crater we moved to Lake Manyara which is smallest from all 4 parks and with less wildlife. But we had best seeing of leopard there. Safari trip ended with visit of Masai village. It was very interesting to listen to their life style and traditions and we definitely do not regret the experience. Though, the fact is that for viligers the focus is on selling their products. Nevermind, we enjoyed. After safari we moved to Zanzibar. Island has beautiful white beaches, is very green, service at resorts was at high level and people very friendly. We enjoyed marine life while diving, spice farm and walk in the rain forest. We had rented car as we prefer to be on our own. Driving was safe as there is low speed limit at island and not heavy trafic (except Stone town), however roads are not in good condition so one needs to be careful. Roads going to resorts are not paved so even short distance may take quite long. And get ready for plenty of police checkpoints. Drive by all rules, otherwise police officer may not think twice to fine you (without receipt of course :) ) All in all we enjoyed Tanzania incredibly and can only recommend it to nature and beach lovers. One needs to be ready that prices for tourists are really high and at Zanzibar there are many local guides approching foreigners with their service offer what can be bothering. But... thats just the way how they try to do their best to earn money for living. In general people are very friendly and helpful. And country is simply beautiful and has a lot to offer.
