          Great African safari trip
          We had 14 days safari (4 parks 10 days ) and Zanzibar (4 days) trip in Tanzania. Edward (our driver and guide) was extremely knowledgeable. We visited and stayed in 4 different places and enjoyed every minute of that . He is also punctual , helpful, organised and passionate about animals and parks. He told us lot of stories about tribes. Everything was 10+ . Choose Gosheni and choose Edward. He is the best Asante sane Edward !!!!

          Amazing and unforgettable experience
          Our guide Andrew Steven is very experienced, enthusiastic, and professional. He keeps searching animals all the day, even on the way to our departure flight. His vast knowledge and explanations about animals, history, culture, and climate are very useful and detailed. He makes our journey amazing and unforgettable. We saw so many many animals, even two mating lions.

          Bariki is an Excellent Guide
          Bariki took us on a full-day safari in the Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw black rhinos four times, along with many other animals. He speaks English fluently, has extensive knowledge, and provided detailed explanations of various sights along the way. His driving skills are excellent—smooth and fast. Everything was perfect.

          超级棒的体验,从到的第一天开始向导就非常照顾我们,开车非常稳,我们开始前一直担心safari的路况,多余了哈哈哈。一路上向导给我们介绍了非常多的动物以及他们的习性,还有很多马赛的情况,让我们更了解坦桑这个漂亮的国家,有问必答,i人觉得非常棒👍。向导的工作时长是八小时,有时候为了找动物或者让我们多看一会会延长一点,非常棒的体验,并不会为了赶时间而放弃看动物。总的来讲是一个非常负责且靠谱的旅行社,非洲之行非常完美!

          We had an incredible safari experience in Tanzania, thanks to our amazing guide, George. He is very knowledgeable about wildlife, sharing fascinating insights about the animals, their behaviors, and the ecosystem. His experience as a driver was evident as he navigated the terrain effortlessly, ensuring we were always in the best spots to see the animals up close. Thanks to his keen eye and expertise, we were able to witness an incredible variety of wildlife, including some rare sightings. Highly recommended!

          Exceptional experience with George
          I recently completed an unforgettable safari in Tanzania with our amazing driver guide, George. His exceptional driving skills made navigating the rugged terrain a breeze, and his deep knowledge of animals enriched every moment of our journey. George expertly led us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu, and the iconic Serengeti, where I was thrilled to see lots of big cats roaming in their natural habitat. Adding to the experience was delicious hot lunch break that provided a perfect pause to soak in the stunning surroundings. With his insightful commentary and genuine care for our experience, George made this safari both educational and exhilarating. I would come back to Gosheni again and 100% recommend them to anyone.

          Habibo is the best!
          “We took our safari tour with Habibo. I must mention his amazing patience, empathy, and his desire for us to enjoy the experience as much as possible. Habibo accompanied us for five days, guiding everything in the clearest way possible and explaining to us about the animals, their living conditions, and the different types of species. Habibo is funny, fun, and the best safari guide I could ever imagine. Thank you, Habibo!”

          Amazing Safaris with Laban
          I just returned from an unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania, and I can't heap enough praise on our guide, Laban. His expertise was truly remarkable. From the moment we set out, he could spot the slightest signs of wildlife hidden in the vast savannah, pointing out everything from majestic lions to elusive leopards with ease.

          Amazing Safaris with Laban
          Our guide, Laban, is great. Not only was he a master at wildlife tracking, but he also had an encyclopedic knowledge of the local ecosystem. He patiently answered all our questions about the plants, animals, and the delicate balance of nature in the region, making the entire experience educational as well as thrilling.

        We came to Tanzania at the end of the rainy season in May. The guide who received us was Calvin Kileo. He is a very professional guide. During the ten-day Safari, he took us to find many animals every day. He not only took us to find the Big Five in Africa, but also showed us many birds and reptiles. He has a rich knowledge of animals and a very kind attitude. He takes good care of us in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He is very gentle and has good driving skills and a strong learning ability. I only need to teach him the Chinese names of many animals once and he can learn them. He always responds to our requests and brings us many surprises! Chinese friends can come to him. He is a very good guide. Remi, the chef at the Gosheni Center, is also very professional and cooks very delicious food. The vegetables are very tasty and the soup is also delicious! I like it very much!

        We just completed a terrific week with Edward as our driver-guide. Did the Tanzania northern circuit (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti). Gosheni did a superb job of putting our itinerary together, then bringing it to fruition. With stays at three different lodges, everything went off without a hitch, and we met all our sighting/photo goals and then some. Edward was extremely knowledgeable and a great companion for the week. He was very patient with our countless questions! Thanks to Herman and the team at Gosheni. Highly recommended.

        We came to Gosheni Safaris through internet research not knowing they are the Award Winning and Leading Tour Operator of Tanzania in 2021. We were on a 11 days, 10 nights safari through the South of Tanzania guided by the the wonderful Fidelis, an experienced and thoughtful guide for a perfect safari tour. After finishing the safari we can only confirm that Gosheni Safaris, presented by Fidelis and team, were the right choice! The safari was customized to all we wanted to see and organized very well, considering we booked only few days in advance (thanks to Pendo in the Gosheni Office!)! Fidelis introduced us to the wildlife in the South of Tanzania with a lot of background information and a very good eye for the hidden animals in the distance! Even though it was very dry and a difficult situation for most of the animals, he showed us neraly every animal living in Mikumi/Ruaha/Nyere. With his experience and the respectful and peaceful way to treat the wilderness he made our game drives a wonderful tour! The accomodation was well chosen, Fidelis organized cool drinks for us to survive the heat and adapted to the tour daily to our needs and wishes.
        For the next trip to Tanzania we will not have to make an effort to find the right tour operator, we will simply call Gosheni Safaris, because it was a blast to travel with you. Thanks again to Gosheni and especially to Fidelis! Asante sana!

        I had a fantastic trip with Gosheni Safaris ( it was a shorter 6 day safari to Mikumi and Ruaha national Parks only, in my case). It was a highlight of my 3 months in Tanzania, and a very last minute decision as well. I had already visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro beforehand, and was thinking of seeing more of the country before I leave.

        Everything from the start to the end worked perfectly. Pendo from reservations handled my inquiry quickly and very efficiently, so we managed to have everything organised in less than a week! I am especially grateful for timely communications and updates, and exemplary customer service. Everything was well organised, with excellent choice of accommodation and daily activities in the both parks.

        I have been very lucky to have Gabriel as my guide - his professionalism, dedication to his work, local knowledge and a true passion for nature and conservation is impressive. Plus phenomenal knowledge of wildlife ( especially birds as it is what I was very interested in) and exceptional observation skills, on my own I would not have seen a tenth of what we saw. He is very friendly and a great company to have during the trip.

        Generally, I will highly recommend to visit both Ruaha and Mikumi. Although not as well known as Serengeti and Ngorongoro, both places are spectacular and give you an experience of true wilderness and pristine nature. It is definitely worth going a bit off beaten track to see them.

        I will be booking another trip with Gosheni Safaris soon, to see more remote and less visited places in Tanzania. If you are looking for a reliable and very professional operator to give you the best of Tanzania no matter what your adventure is, look no further than Gosheni Safaris.

        We spent 10 days in 4 locations and each camp was wonderful. Our guide was Francis and he was exceptional. It’s clear that he is working his passion. He seemed to know just where the game was and how long to be patient. We saw an amazing wildebeest crossing as well as a close encounter with elephants on our very first day. Francis is also totally focused on the client’s every need. We felt so pampered. And he is totally fun! Camps were much nicer than expected and the food was great. Hot lunches and beer/wine every lunch. I understand why Gosheni gets great reviews.
