Great safari company! Responsive, organised, knowledgeable, locally owned and well priced.
Gosheni Safaris - Whar a really great safari company!
We have just returned from a fantastic ten-day safari in Tanzania and three-day gorilla safari in Uganda all organised by Gosheni Safaris (and their sister Uganda company). We could not have been more pleased with everything - from the first contact email to the very last day of departure. We began our planning about a year ago and initially went with a non-local company. However we then decided we wanted to travel with a locally owned safari company. Gosheni comes up well on its reviews and so I corresponded with Pendo John where, after many back-and-forth emails we jointly constructed a fantastic itinerary. Pendo is one of the sales managers and I very much enjoyed planning our safari with her. She was prompt in her correspondence, gave us a range of options for accommodation and was very accommodating of our own suggestions. She was also very good on providing advice such as the number of nights we should stay put in one place. Distances in Tanzania are very very long and the roads in the parks are rough and one really needs to rely on the expert advice on how to plan the itinerary. During our safari she contacted me on several occasions to make sure that everything was going alright. Our guide was Enock John and he was fabulous. He has a depth of experience, a wealth of knowledge about the ecology and the animals and much patience with us, his clients who often asked silly questions. I am sure that all the guides are excellent but we feel particularly fortunate to have had Enock. Between Pendo and Enock everything was taken care of. This meant that my husband and I could really enjoy the safari without any worries about forward planning. Pendo organised our three day gorilla tour in Uganda with their sister company (Primate Expeditions). Again everything ran smoothly from getting gorilla permits, the local flights, hotel transfers etc. This is an excellent company with very high-quality staff and extremely reasonable rates. It is also a locally owned Tanzanian company which we think is important. We can recommend Gosheni without any reservations! The safari industry is a very complex market and you can have full confidence of a great safari if you go with Gosheni.

Great experience and the tour! You'll get your money's worth
We did a 5 day tour with Jocky Tours and it was an exceptional experience. There are so many tour companies out there with different programs and prices, but after all, it all comes down to whether you'll have the good guides and Jocky Tours had just that. Our guide was Evans and he knows his stuff and he is professional, friendly, and fun!
I highly recommend Jocky Tours!

Majestic Beauty- Mt Kenya
We had a great local company Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions arrange this trip and were are so happy we had everything so well organized from the permits, camping gear an food .We Thoroughly enjoyed this trip up to the end .
As we climbed Mt Kenya it was so fascinating to see the variation in flora and fauna as you ascend to the top. The Tropical sun rise and sun set, plus the snow capped peaks can only be described as Nature at its best .It’s the kind of scenery that can be very difficult to explain in words-Go see it yourself! .There were even animals though some so different from ones we had earlier seen on a previous trip to the Great Masai Mara .There were Black and White Colobus monkeys, elephants, buffalos an some much smaller very interesting animals. Very exciting and unforgettable .This is defiantly one of the most beautiful Mountains and trips we have seen and been to so far.
We thank Daniel of Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions for arranging this trip for us ,the t 3 porters, guide and cook for making this one of the most memorable trip we have had and much more importantly being very friendly .

Super
I did 5 days of safari in Kenya, Masai Mara, Lake naivasha e lake Nakuru few days ago. It was the best experience in my life, everything was great. I want also to thank Vincent for understanding and patience towards me after my arrival a bit difficult. I lost the flight from addis for overbooking when i arrived in nairobi my bag was not there. Vincent did everything to make me feel comfortable and to make my safari great according to my needs, from the request to stay in a single room and from the request to arrive at the airport 1 hour earlier than expected. The safari was super thanks to the kenya but expecially thanks to the organization of Vincent and his agency, Trip Advispr Africa Safari.

Exceeded expectations, amazing people and tour!
Yes, all the comments are true! But you have to be there with John and Corinna to really understand what this experience is all about! They are very happy, genuine and professional people who are focusing on some truly unique experiences. It is nothing like those mass tourism safaris, here you feel like spending time with friends, you feel welcome and comfortable all times. They went above and beyond to make my birthday the most memorable ever and I would like to send you one more thank you from both of us! Moreover, Fisi camp is great and a quality of safari is five stars !
If you have a chance, book a private safari or take a few friends with Namayiana and best experiences are guaranteed !
Hope to see you both soon!

Flawless execution - a 10 out of 10!!
Tanzania Travel & Safari were just excellent!
The booking process was flawless, its like they knew what we wanted, this has always been quite the hustle with other companies needless to say this was not my first rodeo. From the moment Elemus (our guide who happened to be the owner) picked us up, he immediately gained my confidence and put my mind at ease. Everything was super organized and Elemus was very knowledgeable about everything with detailed explanations to the smallest of curiosities. In the evening we had an amazing dinner at camp prepared by "Hamza" the chef and got treated to insights on Tanzanian culture and guide lingo - "Sharubu" means lion by the way ;). The best game viewing I have had, we were very lucky this time around. I have been on safari 3 times and never once saw a leopard and this time in the Serengeti, I got to see one drag its prey up a tree and rest. I would highly recommend these guys, nothing beats experience....Elemus, it was glorious.
Thankyou

Best experience with best people
I had a safari tour with my friends for 3 days. And it was a great experience in my life!
I visited 3 places each day and ,fortunately, we can see all BIG 5 animals with Zumbe Safaris.
Drivers were the best driver in my life. They teached lots of tanzania culture, especially Massai culture, and they were very professional in finding wild animals.
Foods were also very nice. Our meals are prepared with very nice meat, fresh fruits and very fresh salad. Of course, it was verrrry delicious.
Campsite was also good. Tent, beds and shower booth all made well and it has nice place to campfire (bush TV).
If you are planning to travel to Tanzania, I really recommend "Zumbe Safaris".
