Outstanding service, memorable Safari.

We booked a week-long Safari in March and everything about our experience with Gosheni was outstanding. Peter put together our itinerary and was responsive and helpful in the run up to our trip. Laban was an excellent, attentive, polite and thoroughly knowledgable guide with a positive attitude and a permanent smile. Luckily for us, he had an encyclopaedic knowledge of birds and an uncanny ability to spot wildlife even while navigating the sometimes challenging park roads. With his help, we identified 80 species of birds. The area had had record levels of rain in the run up to our trip so the roads were often flooded and deep with mud but this was no problem for Laban. Our accommodation exceeded all expectations and staff were always friendly, smiling and helpful. I would highly recommend Gosheni and Laban.

Excellent Safari with Gosheni in March 2020

Excellent Safari with Gosheni in March 2020. The company were great to deal with in advance in putting together the right itinerary. We saw everything we hoped to see on this trip and the accommodations were perfectly chosen.

The vehicle was clean and well maintained.

Laban was a fabulous guide and host, from meeting us at the airport with smile, through all our game drives and lunches. Knowledgeable, friendly, well presented, and also a bird expert! Excellent for our trip.

Gosheni Safaris is a perfect Safari company

Gladys, the sales representative planned a formidable itinerary for our family, according to our requests. She took good care of every little detail, small ones as well as the big ones. She came to brief us at the hotels, in order to make sure everything is clear and to go through safety regulations.
Our safari guide, William picked us up from Kilimanjaro airport and his welcoming smile, as well as the nice picnic he organized next to our Jeep was a sign for what’s expected for us ahead.
William turned out to be very professional , patient with a profound understanding of the animals and always happy to handle any request.
The Jeep was brand new and had been washed every night and the food was above our expectations. We especially liked the picnic with the hot lunch.

Booked a safari trip for family of 5 in March 2020.
The pre booking process was very pleasant. Gladis was kind and presented us with a unique itinerary tailored to our needs with lots of useful information answered in a professional manner.
William, our tour guide picked us up from the airport with a new Land Cruiser and welcoming snacks & drinks.
William escorted us for 6 full days. He is very knowledgeable, always available and provides excellent service.
Our schedule included an authentic village tour with a local guide and a special Tanzanian lunch in a banana plantation, a fabulous 5 day safari trip with amazing views of animals in their natural habitat, including lions, cheetahs, buffalos, wild beasts, zebras and many more.
The acacia migration camp was definitely something to write home about: sleeping in spacious tents with private showers, wildlife sounds throughout the night, warm camp in the evening fire and a very hospitable staff at your service at all times, waiting to fill the bucket with hot water for your shower.
In summary I would say it was a memorable experience

The best of the best for the luxury Safari experience in Tanzania

My husband and I enjoyed a 9 day safari around Tanzania with Gosheni Safaris Africa with Laban as our guide, and if I could give a higher review than excellent, I would. From booking to pick up through drop off, the entire experience was higher level class. Laban has an encyclopedic knowledge of birds, animals and flora, including behaviors and habitats, which is my joy. He taught us so much about the wildlife of Tanzania, but also about the culture and people, which is very important to us when traveling. Our lunches, even in the Savannah and in the Migration, included tablecloths and wine and hot meals eaten around a portable table set up, versus boxed lunches, a memorable and very classy and appreciated touch. The tent camps were beautiful and well stocked with great food and lovely and comfortable accommodations.

My husband benefited greatly from Laban’s shared love of wildlife photography, so they were able to share tips and Laban could always find the best spots for angle and light. The photos are amazing as a result. An added benefit was Laban’s years of experience, which showed in finding the animals, knowing the routes, and having great communication and relationships with his colleagues to best share information for the benefit of all of the tourists. In general, Laban was laid back and engaging at once, able to read us immediately and figure out our pace and preferences from the outset. His driving (a vital part of the journey, as many of the roads were difficult to pass), was competent, confident and careful, allowing us to relax knowing we were in great hands.

Overall, Laban and Gosheni Safaris Africa went above and beyond to give us the most incredible experience in Tanzania. I would and will recommend them to everyone. Thank you!

A super great experience!

Overall a great experience and really nothing to complain about. William was the best guide I ever have had! Good accomodation, food, wildlife and nature experience. We were there in the low season in the beginning of May but still a lot of animals. If you ask for William as your guide you will not get disapointed! I’m a professional photographer and he also understand the importance of light.

We spent 6 amazing days with Hassani

We spent 6 amazing days with Hassani. Our kids and us really enjoyed the trip and learned o lot about the country, national parks and of'course animals. Due to Hassani's knowledge of the area we saw complete "big five" and many other animals. Nothing was a problem and Hassani was always ready to fulfill our wishes. I can only recommend.

5 days Tanzania safari with Laban Gervas

We had an amazing 5 days with Laban our safari guide visiting Karatu, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. It was one of the best epic moments that we shared with him, also showing us around Tanzania. He gave us knowledgeable information about anything we didn't know. His knowledge of wildlife was high and we really appreciate him for taking good care of us.

We loved his soup and meals too... I recommend Gosheni Safaris 100%.

Thank you for this review and the inspiration that goes with it. Your safari journey started long before you set foot on our beautiful continent of Africa. As a local tour operator, our guests' sanctification is one of our top priorities. So we always do take care of each tour we create for our guests.

We thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. We're more than proud of Ombeni and everyone who made your unforgettable safari holiday possible.

Ombeni indeed has a great sense of humor which makes the trip all the more fun. Just like our other guides, he is knowledgeable when it comes to the wildlife and parks. He additionally has learned from experience which helps him improve as a guide. You won't miss out on anything with him guiding you through your holiday.

The lodges and camps we partner up with for our guests' accommodation all have high standards. This is because we want to ensure that our guests are able to enjoy a restful stay and are able to relax when they aren't out and about.

We wish you many more Africa safari expeditions in future. And also hope that we will be the ones you get in touch with when you're ready for another adventure in Africa

Amazing vacation!!

Leading up to my safari in Africa I was concerned that everything would go well. Because I had never used “Gosheni safaris Africa” I chose the Safari based on Gosheni’s good rating and reviews on TripAdvisor!
Then I was concerned again because Gosheni‘s safaris was hoping to get full payment before I came to Africa. So based on the rating and the reviews I went ahead and paid in full before my arrival date by two weeks!
All my concerns were unwarranted!!! It ended up being one of the most amazing vacations I’ve ever taken. Gosheni safaris was so professional, organized and always on time.
Not only that, they knew the safari business backwards and front!
If you’re thinking of taking an African safari vacation I would recommend that you book it through Gosheni safaris!

Thank you very much for trusting Gosheni Safaris Africa for your safari holiday. We truly understand the apprehension you felt specially since it was your first trip. And we're definitely glad that you felt that it was unwarranted and that you were able to enjoy the trip fully.

A great trip starts with planning and we're here to make things easier for you. We always keep our guests as our top priority from planning to taking you on game drives and even to driving you to the airport. Your satisfaction is ours.

A safari truly is a great holiday experience. We're glad you took the chance to experience it and allowed us to be a part of your journey. Nowhere else in the world can you experience the same moments you did but only during an African safari.

Thank you for your feedback and kind words! I'll be sharing this with the whole team as I'm sure they'll be pleased to hear about it. I hope you have many more opportunities to go on a safari adventure in the future. And we hope to have many more opportunities to assist you in doing so.

Dear 邱翔翔

Jambo from Gosheni Safaris Africa!

Thank you very much for trusting Gosheni Safaris Africa for your Tanzania Safari holiday a trip. We know how stressful it can get to plan out a whole trip so we're very glad we were able to help you out on this.

During safaris it is inevitable for guests to spend a lot of time inside the car. Whether its because you are traversing to your next destination or because on your morning game drive, you'll find yourself inside a four wheeled vehicle. And that's why we try to make your ride as comfortable as much as possible. That would mean providing our guests with modern comforts such as WiFi and a cold drink to cool off a sunny day.

We're proud of Ombeni as a guide. He definitely knows how to treat guests and ensure that they don't miss out on precious moments. Having an eagle eye is truly great for capturing rare moments on the go. We'll definitely share your sentiments with Ombeni, I know he'll be pleased to hear about it.

There's much to do during a safari. Most people just think about going on game drives but it's also possible to enjoy picnics as you did. Where else in the world can you experience enjoying a meal in the midst of nature's might?

Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words. They're very encouraging indeed. The whole team will be happy to hear about it. We wish you many more travels in the future. And if you'll have the chance to return once more, we hop you'll get in touch with us once more to help you achieve that dream safari.
