Tanzania Safari Review: A Masterclass in Wildlife Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall Rating: 5/5
The Guiding Makes All the Difference Our guide, Albert from Gosheni, was the cornerstone of this incredible trip. His tracking skills were phenomenal – he could spot a leopard's tail from hundreds of meters away. More than that, he was a fantastic storyteller, sharing insights into animal behavior and Maasai culture that transformed simple game viewing into a deep educational experience.
The Landscapes: Beyond Imagination
· Serengeti: The sheer scale is humbling. We witnessed the Great Migration, a raw and powerful natural phenomenon.
· Ngorongoro Crater: Descending into the crater feels like entering a lost world. The concentration of wildlife in such a unique geological setting is unbelievable.
· Tarangire National Park: A hidden gem! The ancient baobab trees and massive elephant herds created a uniquely magical atmosphere.
What Surprised Us (The Good Kind!)
1. Flawless Logistics: Every transfer, park entry, and accommodation check-in was seamless. We never had to worry about a thing.
2. Unexpected Luxury: The lodges and tented camps were far more comfortable and luxurious than we anticipated, with amazing food and stunning views.
3. The Sounds: Nothing prepares you for the symphony of the bush at night – from the distant roar of a lion to the whoop of hyenas.

Beyond Expectations: A Truly Magical Safari in Tanzania
If you're looking for a review that tells you this safari was "good," then look elsewhere. Our adventure with Gosheni was nothing short of magical, exceeding every hope we had.
This trip was a celebration for our anniversary, and from the very beginning, the team made us feel special. Our guide, Albert, was an absolute gem. His ability to track animals was uncanny, but it was his deep respect for the environment that truly set her apart. He didn't just show us animals; he told us their stories, explaining behaviors and ecosystems in a way that made the savanna come alive.

An Unforgettable Journey
My recent safari in Tanzania was, without exaggeration, the trip of a lifetime. From the vast, endless plains of the Serengeti to the breathtaking crater of Ngorongoro, every moment was filled with awe and wonder.
We booked a 7-day safari and they exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Albert，was incredibly knowledgeable. He had a sharp eye for spotting wildlife that we would have easily missed, from a leopard perfectly camouflaged in a tree to a family of elephants quietly emerging from the bush. His passion for the animals and their conservation was truly inspiring.

Honeymoon ruined by KOFI
We rented a Toyota HZJ78 from KOFI Travel for our honeymoon trip to Tanzania in August. While the vehicle looked good at first glance and we paid it full price, it was a death trap that completely ruined our trip. The damages I'm listing are just a small fraction of the dozens of failures we experienced.
On day one, the starter battery failed, leaving us stranded. The roof rack broke from vibrations, and we almost lost our rooftop tents. The starter motor broke, too. The power steering failed not once, but twice. The rear right wheel was bent, causing severe vibrations that eventually led to a massive oil leak from the axle. The engine was in such bad shape that we had to add a liter of oil every 300km. The final straw was when a brake line exploded, and we nearly crashed.
During one of the many days we spent in a workshop, a Toyota expert pointed out that this was originally a left-hand drive vehicle that had been poorly converted to a right-hand drive. The conversion was shoddily done and clearly not by a specialist. To make matters worse, the conversion was done using the chassis number of an HZJ76 model. I can't even imagine what would have happened if one of these failures had led to a serious accident.
This was not just a series of small issues; it was a cascade of catastrophic failures. This vehicle was not fit for purpose and should never have been rented out. We were lucky to get out of this trip alive

Great safari experience
We did a 4/5 day safari and an 4 day in Zanzibar with Ribris. Our safari tour was exceptional in every way, well organised by Hinal from Ribris. A big thank you to Hinal for ensuring we had a good time and ensured that each location catered for our dietary requirements. Our guide Rashidi was very knowledgeable and attentive, and the entire experience felt amazing. He ensured that we saw the maximum of wildlife and some amazing encounters in Serengeti of wildlife and the big cats and great migration. The hotels in Stone town & Beach were very nice and we had enjoyable and relaxing time on the beautiful beach at Zanzibar. We felt safe, informed, and constantly in awe of our surroundings. I would highly recommend Ribris to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in nature.

An incredible safari experience!
We had a fantastic time in the Masai Mara and want to give a special shout-out to our driver, Jimmy. He was always courteous, and dealt with any small issues that arose immediately and without a fuss. He shared his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and nature with us, and we felt safe and comfortable with him the entire time.
Regarding the accommodations, our first tented camp was okay. The second one, a hotel, was absolutely amazing and we loved our stay there.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 and the wildlife sightings were simply unforgettable. For future tours, we have one small suggestion: visiting the Maasai village on the evening of arrival. This would save guests the rather high park fees for one extra day in the Masai Mara National Park.
All in all, this was a wonderful and highly recommendable experience that we will never forget.

Great organization, excellent service, and very professional staff – everything was top
A wonderful experience, thanks to the excellent organization by Kiwoito. Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful of the animals, and explained their behavior and natural habitat in a fascinating way. He was always on the lookout for wildlife, helping us spot animals hidden in the bush. He showed us a truly magnificent country. Thank you to Kiwoito Africa for this fantastic trip and for being so attentive to our needs. Special thanks to Evaline for her helpful advice before our arrival, regarding travel documents and medical recommendations. If I ever return to Tanzania, I will definitely contact you again. I highly recommend Kiwoito Africa!

Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time, the whole crew was very helpful and attentive. Both Goodluck and Charles were excellent guides and clearly had a lot of experience in Kilimanjaro. Charles was very knowledgeable about the nature in the area and shared a lot of insights along the way. We were very comfortable in the tent, it was huge, and the food during the whole trip was amazing, we didn’t know we could eat so well up in the mountains. Goodluck did a great job assembling the team.
Overall, we had an unforgettable time and everything went perfectly.
