An experience of a lifetime
We had great communication from the start and they were VERY flexible with us according to our needs!
I have been on safari twice before, but this topped those two experiences combined. We got to see all the big 5’s, 4 cheetahs hunting and taking a prey, leopard fighting with a hyena, eye to eye with a big lion family only 1 meter away. This trip got us present in the moment for 5 days and that was an amazing experience. This was all thanks to our guide Ken. He did all he could to chase those perfect moments and was extremely knowledgeable about both the animales, culture and nature.
We are very satisfied with the trip and think it was great value for the money!
If you consider going, we would highly recommend the ballon tour as well!

Reliable and very helpful
We enjoyed our honeymoon arranged by Tafika Travel Advisor. They put together a package that was both romantic and adventurous in line with our budget. We were very impressed with the transfers from the airport to our accomodation and from our accomodation to various activities, they were very punctual. Overall the trip was awesome and stressfree thanks to the excellent cordination of the team.

Kind .. super ... helpful
After talking with 7 or 8 agencies to do a safari only masai mara 4 days. It is a special thing because They offer 3 days in masai or there is another driving for all three Parks..I don't like this last option cause spend too much time on route .. so I found Janet she convinced to me to pick her to do it .. and it was my best desicion ever .. she always was on us helping us out . Asking what we needed .. she gave us an incredible driver . We have seen the big fives in just one morning ... the 4 brothers of cheetas there are in the park stop by our car to eat a topy.. we were there for a while .. no rush .. all the pacient in the game drive .. one of best days in my life

Wonderful Christmas in Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti
We had our first Safari ever booked with Gosheni, starting from Arusha. We didn’t have that much time so we chose to do a 3-day Safari, going to Ngorongoro Crater (day 1) and Serengeti (day 2 & 3). Gosheni safaris was really helpful and convenient in the process of booking as they helped us planning everything right within our budget and time. Although 3 days is not much, they definitely took it all to make our Safari unforgettable (we even saw the Big Five!). Our guide Wilson was really nice and taught us a lot about the surroundings, the animals and life in Tanzania. He really made us feel like family. Also, the lodges exceeded our expectations and were very comfortable and clean, with good food and nice people. We couldn’t have wished for a better Christmas this year. Thanks Gosheni and Wilson for making this wonderful adventure happen!

Best Hospitality
Thanks for best hosting and give us brilliant experience.
We have arrived Arusha and lost baggage, although we are bit panic, the great driver Mr. T helped us by intermediating between airport officer and us.
As a result, we have successfully received it few days after(we are away from Arusha for Safari).
With regard to safari, it is great experience that Luis safari conductor gives us a lot of opportunity to see something different from South Africa(we live in SA).
All the arrangement for Safari is well planned and organised, special thanks for Tito the best Chef in this company gives us unforgettable meal each time.
We have seen all big five including tiny dot of Rhino far away, in course of our tours which made us so happy, I am sure this is definitely contributed from Luis skill and experience.
In between of Arusha and Camp site, we are hosted by very safe driver Rafa. This safe drive gave us the comport and reliefs.
The accommodation in Arusha which is arranged just before and after Safari is still acceptable, not the best (maybe the best in Arusha…).
One thing if we can request, we would like to have recommendation restaurants list around the hotel for someone want to experience Tanzanian meals.
Again, thanks for your all arrangement. Asante.

Mount Meru and Uhuru Peak 5,896 masl in mid December 2021.
Mount Meru and Uhuru Peak 5,896 masl in mid December 2021.
Because i had a short timeframe i decided to do Mount Meru for acclimatization and then Mount Kilimanjaro via the Umbwe Route.
I chose Aardvark Expeditions because it is a local Trekking and Safari Specialists operator based in Arushavand I was more than happy to use their services. In fact Philemon Joel organized everything in a short timeframe with many special wishes from my side, and they have the Headquarters in Arusha which is shown on the company's website.
As i am from Switzerland, i am used to hike on the Alps and climb the mountains. So Mt Meru for me was just the perfect warm up peak, but more important, it helped a lot to acclimatise to the altitude. So, it is what it is, just study the mountain...for regular hikers it will be a very pleasant peak, for others, make sure you're fit enough for this challenge.
Mount Kilimanjaro via the Umbwe Route is the shortest trail to the peak of the mountain. It is also the hardest. I was more than happy to pick this route because it fitted my fitness level and was a pure adventure for me. I didn't see any climber on this route for the first two days with a very step track through beautiful mother earth. And here, in the middle of nowhere, are the little things that matters, and it is reassuring to have the right and experienced tour operator. Just to have a waterproof tent, hot coffee and a warm meal gives you the power for the next days...
In this environment everything takes time and you will have plenty of it between the activities. So make sure to bring your favorite book or something else you like to do. Also, hiking up is just the first part and do not underestimate the part of killing the meters by walking down.
I had ten days for both peaks, and it was just perfect for me. Next time i will climb Kilimanjaro via Marangu Route, the most comfortable
