We were referred to GOSHENI by friends as the best Safari Tour and I must say our experience has surpassed our expectation!! Everything was perfect from arrival to departure. Our guide Laban was awesome! He was so friendly, well spoken, took the time to explain everything to us from all the different animals, plants, cultural tribes, etc...
He really made the trip for us and was very patient, making sure he took us to the right spots with the right angle for the best photos! Everyday we had hot lunches prepared to us by Laban in beautiful spots (see photos) while we had discussions from different species of birds to the Maasai culture! One of the smartest guides I’ve ever come across and one of the best photographers as well!
We took the mid-luxury option and I have to say all our accommodations were superb! From 5 star hotels to 5 star tents in the middle of nowhere (literally).
I strongly recommend Gosheni Safaris you will get every penny’s worth and more! Ask for Laban he’s the man!!

Just wow!
By far, our favorite vacation that we've ever taken and a perfect honeymoon. We couldn't recommend enough and only wished we had stayed a few extra days!
We took a safari around Manyara, Nbutu, Serenvwti and Ngorogoro. The variety of wildlife (we were able to see all of the Big Five and then some!) and the beauty of the land was unlike what we've ever seen before and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, particularly the Great Migration, where we were able to see tens of thousands of wildebeest charging through the plains! Although my husband and I thoroughly loved the safari, this may not be for couples looking for a relaxed getaway with bumpy roads and early wake up times the everyday norm. However, for couples looking for an adventure, this option simply cannot be beat!
Although there were many safari companies to choose from, we are thrilled we selected Gosheni. Booking was smooth from start to finish, with the team making fantastic recommendations for the schedule and accommodations. Pick up and logistics were seamless and smooth - a truly professional service!
Our guide, Azaria, was fantastic and we couldn't be more grateful to him for being such an integral part of the trip. With over 10 years experience under his belt, he was very knowledgable about so many facets of the experience, from the land and its history, the animals and the vegetation. But beyond that, he had an incredible positive energy throughout the trip and a strong service mindset where every detail was thought out to make our honeymoon enjoyable. From giving us a bouquet of roses for Valentines day to making sure we were well fed and rested to making sure we were able to see all of the Big Five, he truly went the extra mile every single day.
Above all, a five star experience and we whole heartedly recommend Tanzania , Gosheni Safaris and Azaria to any couple looking for an unforgettable honeymoon!

It was great to follow Hassan, our guide and driver of the whole safari trip, who gave us an unforgettable trip. The arrangement by Gosheni was spot on and we didn’t encounter any difficulty during our trip. Hassan delivered his services professionally and he almost knows everything about the country, the trip and the wide life that we met. Highly recommended.

Our safari surpassed all expectations. It was planned to suit our needs, with good communication and service in the run up to the trip. The trip itself was superb in every way from beginning to end. Laban was an outstanding guide: welcoming, punctual, accommodating and supremely knowledgable, with an uncanny ability to seek out and identify animals and birds. We spotted 80 species of bird in 7 days. He went out of his way to keep us comfortable, took care of everything we needed, and navigated some very challenging flooded roads without problems. We saw every animal we hoped to see, many of them far closer than we expected, and even saw a serval in the middle of the day, which we wouldn't have spotted had it not been for Laban's eagle eyes! The vehicle was completely fit for purpose and kept spotless throughout, and the accommodation exceeded our expectations, with friendly, attentive staff everywhere we went. Our hot air balloon experience is something we will never forget! I would highly recommend Gosheni.

I do not hesitate to recommend Wilson of Gosheni Safaris Africa to be your driver guide of safaris in Tanzania. Wilson is helpful, knowledgeable, experienced and has very good driving skills. These are vital when you want to have fun and see the animals in the wilderness of national parks in Tanzania.
We really had a good time in the safari and satisfied with Wilson's performance all through the trip. Well done!

Wow!!! What an experience!!! We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our safari. The food was amazing, the lodging was plush and of course the animals. Knowing that a safari is not a trip to the zoo we knew we might not see everything on our list, we were wrong. What made the experience even better was our guide Ombeni. For a week you eat and spend almost every waking moment with your guide so it's very important to get a good one and I'm convinced we had the best in Tanzania. He was friendly, great with our children and extremely knowledgeable about the ecosystem. You could tell his character by the reaction of every local we encountered who legitimately looked really happy just to see him. Asante Sana!!!

This safari was amazing. Our guide Zadock was an amazing driver and guide and I don’t think it would’ve been the same without him. He searched out all the animals we wanted to see and was incredibly informative. Zadock even got us and other drivers out of sticky situations and I felt safe while being meer feet away from the animals. All in all Gosheni was an amazing company that made our vacation just how we wanted it.

Our tour last for eight days, visiting four National parks. Gosheni provided us the service totally out of expectation.
Before we came, our advisors give us very detailed and personalized plan, answering our concerns, which really helpful. ( btw, Gosheni has much better official website than other brands and that’s why I choose to advice them first)
After we arrived in Tanzania, the staffs took good care of us, enthusiastic and friendly. They will provide drinks and snacks on the road everyday.
Our guide, Ombeni , is the most gentle, knowledgeable and considera guide I have ever met. I was so impressed that he can answer all the questions about animals and Tanzania we said. He has eagle eyes. We got hundreds of good pictures of animals under his guide. He is also very good at making us happy. I remembered one time I got annoyed by my boyfriend, he found me a little bit unhappy and cheer me up by telling the fun facts of animals. He did really good job during this trip in every small things, like cleaning the car, taking good pictures and preparing picnic. It feels like you don’t need to worried about anything.Thank you Ombeni! Our good friend!
In all, Gosheni might be the best safaris group with high cost-value performance, friendly staffs and perfect tour plan.

Wow what an amazing trip with Gosheni safari’s.
Having been on safari a few times before we had a wish list of certain things we would like to see and we weren’t let done.
Our guide Ombeni collected us on the first day and gentle probed with questions to understand what we want to get from our safari, in doing this he was able to adapt the safari to meet our wish list and he didn’t disappoint.
From the outset Ombeni was attentive, caring, interesting, fun, knowledgable and experienced which made the whole safari exceptional. Within a few days we had crowned him “king Ombeni, king of safari’s” .
We had an amazing time watching stampeding wildebeest, fighting hippos and zebra, playful cheetahs and angry elephants to name just a few, what was impressive was that Ombeni was not content with following other jeeps, he seem to have a sense of where the action was and we went off alone where often we were the first on scene, then after a few minutes he would call the other jeeps to share the excitement. You could see he had the respect of the other guides and they sought his advise and experience often.
The whole safari was exceptional, the guide, the vehicle, the tented accommodation and lodges, the lunchtime picnic and of course the wildlife. We saw a huge range in insects, birds, cats, mammals and of course the big 5 close up and from the best viewpoints.
If you want an amazing safari book with Gosheni, if you want it to be extra special ask for Ombeni King of Safari’s.

My husband and I had an 8 day safari and it was our first time in Africa. It was amazing all thanks to Gosheni; Belinda for organizing and responding to all our emails and questions and of course our guide Ombeni! From pick up at the Arusha to checking in at each park and lodge everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything. Ombeni did a great job at informing us about the animals and about day to day life in Tanzania. He has a lot of pride in his work which we really appreciated especially how he keeps the land cruiser always clean so that we can always see the beauty of Tanzania outside the window or every animal passing by. Ombeni has built many relationships with other guides and even folks at the lodges from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro so we always felt welcomed wherever we went. His relationships as well as instincts helped us see all of the big 5 and even get within 10ft of a leopard! Gosheni stands out in the hot lunches and unlimited drinks available. We are so honored and truly appreciate having Ombeni as our guide and for choosing Gosheni for our honeymoon of a lifetime. Asante Sana for the best safari we could ever imagine.
