Above all expectations! - This was mt first ever safari experience and let me tell you — it set the bar high. Throughout the 5 days I felt safe and taken care of both by our guide and our very experienced driver. The highlight of our experience with Gosheni Safaris was the attention to detail and the immense knowledge of our driver, Bariki. He knew a lot about everything we asked him, learned through many years of work in the field (literally!). The car was well equipped and clean, the meals were above all expectations — especially compared to meals we saw other companies offer on our trip, to compare. We had our own picnic table and did not have to depend on tables being free on location or not. All in all, I recommend the safari experience with Gosheni, especially with Bariki.

An amazing Safari experience - We had an amazing experience in the Safari, we were lucky enough to see all animals from a very short distance. Gonsheni company was a great choice. They provided us with a clear and organized plan, clean and comfortable car e support all the way. The hotel selection was also great and we only had great moments. Our guide Ombeni was amazing from the start to the last moment. Truly knowledgable about the animals and the Serengeti. I was truly surprised when he spotted a lion and cubs from a very long distance. We were truly lucky to have him as our guide, he enabled unforgettable moments during our Safari!! An amazing experience!

Great service and unforgettable experience. - We started having great memories from our pick up in Arusha Airport until the very end of our tour. Ombeni, our guide and driver, has made our experience even better - great knowledge about the animals, Serengeti and other areas we visited, and the Tanzanian culture. All the hotels and lodges were amazing, with super friendly staff, delicious food and willing to make our stay the best possible. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

Spectacular Safari for Anniversary - We set out on a 5-day northern Tanzania safari with Gosheni Safaris, guided by Mr. Ombeni Uronu as our driver and tour leader. It was an unforgettable journey that surpassed all our expectations for our very first African safari. Each day brought a sense of awe and pure happiness. Ombeni’s deep knowledge of Tanzania’s national parks and his skilled driving ensured we were always positioned at the perfect վայրpoints for incredible, up-close views of magnificent wildlife. The five days spent exploring the parks and unwinding at the lodges and camps were made even more memorable by Ombeni’s relaxed nature and great sense of humor. As we happened to be celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary, the Serengeti camp staff surprised us with a cake and a lively song and dance performance during dinner—and Ombeni happily joined in the celebration! During our adventure, we witnessed the Big Five, the great wildebeest and zebra migration, mating lions, cheetahs, dramatic moments of predation, and countless herds of elephants grazing, strolling, and even dozing. The diversity and abundance of wildlife were so remarkable that without recording it all, I would have struggled to remember everything we experienced.

Truly the best! - We had an incredible five day experience with Gosheni, and in particular with our confident, experienced, and knowledgeable guide Inno. Everyone at Gosheni was friendly and helpful, and catered to all of our needs, both in the planning stages and while we were on the ground In Tanzania. Inno worked incredibly hard to ensure that we saw everything on our bucket lists, and really has a knack for finding those hidden gems that were sometimes a bit off the beaten path, but were the highlights of our trip. Lions mating, a cheetah kill, a leopard consuming an antelope on the branch of a tree. It was important to him that we have a once in a lifetime experience, and he succeeded. The places that we stayed overnight were fantastic, and catered to all of our dietary needs. I highly recommend these guys. They know what they're doing!

Trip of a lifetime - We just returned from a 5-day safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Gosheni Travels, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Leban. From the moment we met him, his passion for the wildlife and landscapes around us was unmistakable. He seemed to know every bird call, every track on the ground, and every story about the flora and fauna we passed. What really made the trip special was his calm, steady presence. No matter how many questions we asked (and we asked a lot), he always answered with patience and enthusiasm—even when we circled back to things he’d already explained. He never made us feel rushed or silly, just genuinely welcomed our curiosity. One of our favorite surprises was the beautiful bush lunches he prepared. Every day, in the middle of the wild, he’d set up what felt like a mini fine-dining experience—it added such a memorable and thoughtful touch to each day. The food throughout the trip was consistently clean, tasty, and had a comforting, homely feel to it, which we truly appreciated after long days out in the bush. On top of that, the coordination from Gosheni was seamless from start to finish—from the initial booking all the way to the airport transfers. Everything felt smooth, organized, and thoughtfully handled, allowing us to just relax and enjoy the adventure. The safari vehicle itself was incredibly comfortable: air-conditioned, WiFi-enabled, and equipped with a well-stocked fridge that kept us refreshed throughout the day. It made long drives between sightings feel easy and enjoyable. By the end of the trip, we’d even picked up a few Swahili words from Leban. But the one we’ll carry with us the most is his attitude: hakuna matata. It really defined the spirit of the whole safari—easygoing, joyful, and full of wonder. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more unforgettable journey. Highly recommend Gosheni Travels, and if you’re lucky enough to get Leban, you’re in for something truly special.

One of the most special experiencia in our lives - We wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our safari is truly, one of the most special experiences of our lives, and so much of that is thanks to the people who were by our side throughout the journey. We would especially like to highlight George. His constant smile, calm presence, kindness, and the way he genuinely cared for us made every day start and end with joy. George didn’t just drive safely and attentively – he worked incredibly hard to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and, beyond that, to help us witness once-in-a-lifetime wildlife moments. We felt that he enjoyed every sighting with us, and that made everything even more meaningful. We also want to express our deepest gratitude to Nickson, our guide. His knowledge, his passion for nature, and the way he explained everything allowed us to connect with Tanzania in a way we never expected. Nickson and George make an amazing team, a perfect duo that complements each other with natural coordination, respect, and enthusiasm. It is clear that they love what they do, and that makes all the difference. Thank you for your organization, your care, and for turning a dream into a reality that was even better than we imagined. We are taking home memories, lessons, and moments we will never forget, along with two names we will always remember: George and Nickson. With heartfelt gratitude
