Gosheni Safaris Africa Reviews 185

My husband and I had a really great Safari with Gosheni Safaris. We didn't expect such a exceptional service! The first minute we met our guide Ombeni we felt confortable. He was kind, empathic, polite, funny, good driver and very professional. The safari was full of surprises we didn't expect, so we felt very lucky to hire this service with Gosheni Safaris. I recommend it 100%. The food, the accommodation, the game drive and confort in the Jeep was just perfect. I can't have any negative comment about it. A big thank you for this great and unforgettable time!

Everything was well organized according to planned, the office crew really nailed our wishes.
From minute one, our guide Ombeni took really good care of us, showing a real passion for his work. I couldn't help but compare Gosheni's quality of service with other safari operators: Gosheni's vehicule is like new, comfortable and pristine, Gosheni's lunches are delicious, different each day and consisting of soup, main course, fresh fruits and coffee... and everything provided with a thrive for excellence.
In a nutshell, go with Gosheni for your safari, you won't be dissapointed!

Ombeni was our guide for 7 days and did a fabulous job! We found him to be very pleasant and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions very enthusiastically. He has an Eagles eye and spotted wildlife while keeping an eye on bumpy roads. All in all an excellent trip!

We did a 7-day safari and highly recommend Gosheni Safaris! Our guide, Ombeni, was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Overall our experience was memorable.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our 3-day safari with Gosheni. From the moment we contacted them, Gladys took care of us and helped us find the best itinerary. She took care of all of the logistics and made us feel at ease. Thank you, Gladys!

Our guide, William, was a true professional. We thoroughly enjoyed spending 3 days with him and learning from him. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the parks and he made our trip memorable. He took care of everything and, because of him, we had 3 unforgettable days. Thank you, William!

Gosheni really exceeded our expectations. Even down to the smallest details - cleaning the car every day, arranging fantastic accommodation, and providing delicious meals - Gosheni went above and beyond. Thank you!!

What an amazing experience Gosheni provided during our three day adventure throughout the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.

The experience: Our experience would not have been possible without our expert guide William. The animals & scenery were inherently amazing, but William’s expertise on the wildlife, his friendliness, and above and beyond service made this a once in a lifetime trip.

Organizing the trip: We worked with Gladys from Gosheni to organize the trip logistics and accommodation at the Acacia Central Camp (highly recommend). Gladys made the organizational aspect of the trip the easiest holiday booking I’ve ever experienced. Everything was flawlessly taken care of from A-Z.

I can’t wait to work with William and Gladys again when I come back to Tanzania for another adventure.

I went with my friends on a three-day safari with Gosheni. This was an once in a lifetime experience. When we arrived at the airport our guide Ombeni was waiting us with breakfast and gave us our safari hats. First day we visited Lake Manyara, second day the crater Ngorogoro and the third day Tarangire National park. All the places were great but Ngorogoro was outstanding! We stayed in three different lodges and in all of them the staff was extremely welcoming. During the trip we had full lunch, including soup, main dish fruit and wine. This is something that is not typical as you could see people from other safaris were having sandwiches. Our guide Ombeni made this experience unforgettable as he was super friendly and gave us a lot of information about
the animals and the area. To summarize I would recommend Gosheni for everyone that is planning to visit Tanzania, friends, couples or families. Everything will be planned for you and you just need to stay in the car and enjoy!

We did a 3 full days safari with Gosheni Safari and it has been the best experience ever.
Jeep was new and very comfortable. They helped us to plan the best safari for us and for our time. Best of all was our guide, Ombeni, who managed to let us see all the animals in the parks we visited and provided us every possible comfort and all we might have wanted... For example providing us the best food for lunch and washing the Jeep every evening while we were resting. This guy is absolutely amazing!

I would recommend this company and this guide for every safari you want to do in Tanzania...they can really make the difference.

We went on a three-day safari with Gosheni with two more friends starting December 13th-16th 2019. We visited the following parks: Lake Manyara (day 1), Ngorongoro (day 2), Tarangire (day 3). We selected this itinerary as we wanted to have 3 full days of safari. We contacted approx. 8 companies regarding proposing an optimal schedule for us. While most other companies also recommended Serengeti, Gosheni stood out insisting that we do the aforementioned parks, as Serengeti was too far away to drive too and basically we would have wasted a day just driving. We are very glad we selected Gosheni and followed their recommended schedule as we came to realise how far the distances are. We got to enjoy an amazing safari experience in the above parks. Ngorongoro was my favourite; an incredible site to see from the viewpoint above the crater and thousands of animals to see in it. There are really no words to describe this experience, you have to see it for yourself.

Our guide, Ombeni, was the best guide we could have wished for. Having travelled around the world in Europe (I am from Greece), Asia, Americas, and having been on many guided tours, I can say that Ombeni was the best guide we ever had. He made the experience unforgettable and while I wrote before that we started out as 3 friends, we ended the journey having earned a new friend!

Now, I’m terms of amenities provided, all the lodges well stayed at were amazing. During game drives we had proper lunch and Ombeni would set the table, dishes, bottle of wine and it really felt like having lunch at a great restaurant, only our table was located in the middle of Ngorongoro!

Gosheni vehicles aren’t brand new and Ombeni made sure that the vehicle is clean (inside out) every single day, while other vehicles in the lodges’ parking lots were not taken care of as well. It is a safari, and we do not really care about what the vehicle loons like from the outside, but still I have to mention the high quality offered by Gosheni.

To summarise, I highly recommend a safari with Gosheni; they will work with you guys to organise the schedule that best fits your travel objectives and they will offer an unforgettable and amazing experience. I am very glad we picked Gosheni and very happy in having met Ombeni, a truly amazing person.

Ngorogoro crater and Tarengeri national parks were amazing. At the crater, a lion actually came close enough it hit the vehicle with its tale. Ombeni was an incredible tour guide and went above and beyond for us.

Our experience with Gosheni was the most amazing experience ever! Our guide was so very kind and always willing to answer our questions! Thank you for making this once in a life time opportunity so very special!

Had 6 great days on safari with Goshenisafaris. We had a good informationmeeting with the Goshenisafaris the first day. I like that they are local and down to earth. My impression is that they are professional. Our guide, William, were a Nice guy and become our friend. He was a really good guide and I’m quite satisfied with him. He know the roads in the nationalsparks pretty well and did know where he could find the animals and show us.
We got upgraded the first night, to Acacie Tarangire, without asking. That was really Nice of Goshenisafaris. The first day in Tarangire was awesome, we got to see a lot of animals like elephants, lion, zebra, eagle and a lot more. In serengeti we met Lions laying in the road, really cool. And we got to see a leopard in a tree. At the end of the day we saw a cheetha and his two kids hunting a little antelope. Really cool! We also had a hotairballoon safari, with miracle experience balloon safari. That was awesome, and I recommend everyone to try that. My experience and overall impression og Goshenisafaris is quite good!

We received initinary from Gosheni Safari through our travel agency, which forfilled all our expectations. We had 1 day in Arusha, 1 in Tarangire, 2 in Serengeti, 1 in Negorogoro and 1 in lake Manyara.

Our guide William really knew his safaris and had a lot of information of the different parks. He was able to spot a lot of animals and we even saw the cheetah twice and tree times the leopard. They upgraded us free of charge with one night at their luxury camps inside the Tarangire park, which was super Nice and I highly recommend it!
We had a 3 courses lunch every day with table cloth and everything, compared to the other company’s which had a small lunch box.

We also did the hot air balloon activity which is a bit pricy, but was absolutely worth it! The company was professional and the pilot had over 20 years of experience. The view of the park was awesome and the bush breakfast afterwards was fantastic.

I would highly recommend Gosheni Safaris for your trips in Africa, either booking through your agency or directly through Gosheni. Great guides, good service at the different accommodations and a nice van with your own fridge. We had a fantastic safari experience with Gosheni Safari and the best guiding with William.

For the future you don’t really need a day in Arusha since there isn’t a lot to see, and the first 3 parks would be enough. It all depends on how many animals you want to see and how lucky you are.

A five day safari with Gosheni Safaris just continued the magic of Tanzania ( following climbing Kilimanjaro)
The experience was truly amazing, I could not fault anything!
The vehicles were top spec, the drivers were friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable! Nothing was too much trouble.
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were just .. well, there aren’t words to describe.. go and see for yourself!
I had probably the most amazing 2 week experience of my life in Tanzania!!
I would encourage everyone to visit .. and without doubt would encourage you to use Gosheni Safaris.. absolutely fantastic, faultless experience!!

With lots of different Safari companies to choose from Gosheni Safaris were recommended to CabbieDoKilimanjaro.com by The Tanzanian Tourist Board @Tz_Unforgattable and we were not disappointed . Modern air conditioned vehicles made the journey very pleasant and the drivers were great too , very polit and professional with a wealth of knowledge and knew the answers to all our questions . The vehicles have a pop up roof so you can get fantastic views of the landscape and wildlife while staying safe inside the vehicle . We saw the BIG 5 and lots of times being only yards away from the wildlife including one when a lioness, still panting and out of breath was laying next to a Wilderbeast Kill . We really could not fault our trip with Gosheni Safaris and would thoroughly recommend them . Tanzania is also an excellent choice for an holiday destination , it really is Africa’s Best Kept Secret . We have been on Safari to South Africa and in our opinion the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crator and National Park are better , an ABSOLUTE MUST SEE .

Family safari in Tanzania was fantastic! We spent 8 days in four different parks; Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, and saw a lot of animals thanks to William, our driver, who taught us about the different animals we saw and made the trip a really interesting experience. We learnt a lot! We hade a wonderful week thanks to William, and the nice lodges we stayed at. We started every day with a clean car, and hot lunch was served on proper plates, with table cloth, porcelain and made us feel well taken care of and healthy in our stomachs. We had a new comfortable car, which is important when spending most of your days in the car.

Gosheni really understood our wishes and planned a trip that was perfect for us. Pendo, our sales assistent, answered a lot of question through the planning process and made sure everything was going as planned during the trip.

I would really recommend Gosheni to anyone going to Africa for safari, and would very much plan a trip with them again for me and my family.

amazing experience with excellent driver!
We have seen many animals and had a great week thanks to gosheni!

Gosheni is the Absolute Best - 10 days unforgettable Masai Mara, Serengeti and more!

Simply cannot say enough good things about Gosheni Safaris. But I will try. Let's begin with my communication with the owner, Peter Robert. Highly responsive; made a fantastic custom itinerary for us - Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, Masai village visit, Masai Mara, North and Central Serengeti, a Serengeti Hot Air Balloon ride at sunrise, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire. Top class lodgings in both Tanzania and Kenya. And the guides/drivers were outstanding to say the least.
But what we are ever so thankful for is that without Peter, this trip would not be possible. Peter, out of his own accord, flew all the way to Dar es Salaam commissioner's office only to ensure that we get our Tanzanian visas. Not enough words to thank him.
Now our two guides - Juma in Kenya and Laban in Tanzania. They are the most skilled guides you will ever find always getting us the best spots and lights for photography, making sunset runs to give us the most glorious African sunset experiences. Laban also happens to be an ornithologist - an expert on the birds of Africa! It was unbelievable to spot and photograph over 50 birds in just Serengeti. They made us feel safe, and comfortable at all times.
Now the food. The breakfast and dinner were finger-licking good in all places. But what sets Gosheni Safaris apart is the outstanding buffet lunches it packed every day with so many hot dishes, soups, elaborate meals, ones other Safaris' guests would only enjoy at dinners. The service at the lodges were impeccable. I will miss Maria and hasan's smiles from the Acacia Migration Camp at North Serengeti. Be it their candle light bonfire dinner under the stars in Serengeti or elaborate lunches under Acacia trees or above the Ngorngoro crater, they were all magical.
What we experienced in our 10 days East African safari during the great migration cannot be expressed in words. Be it a pride of lions feasting on a wildebeest in the middle of the night on our way to hot air ballon ride, or a cheetah feasting over its gazelle hunt within seconds of our arrival at the spot, or following a leopard for 30 minutes on its stealthily traced impala hunt, or vultures over a wildebeest remains, it was all magnificent. Countless memories - Following millions of wildebeest in their migration to the north, floating in the air on a hot air balloon above Serengeti while savoring the sunrise, spotting over 50 magnificent African birds, many many many encounters with the Big 5 and spotting three of the small five, spending an entire day in the paradise that is called the Ngorongoro Crater, falling in love with flamingos at Lake Nakuru and Lake Manyara, sunrise over the valley at Lake Nakuru, sunset at Masai Mara, getting to meet Masai people at their villages, driving through countless villages and small towns in Kenya and Tanzania, the little kids waving their hands at us everywhere we went, it's hard to stop. Thank you so very much Peter, Laban, Juma, and Gosheni Safaris. Trip of a lifetime, indeed.

Date of experience: July 2019

Had the perfect safari experience from booking, accommodation and tour itself was just perfect on the most part to Ombeni who was such a nice and knowledgeable human who made it all for us, I believe it wouldn’t have been as good with anyone else.

Thank you both!!!

OMG what a perfect 3 day safari we have just had we was picked up at Arusha and went to Ngorongora then Serengeti to be then dropped off at another camp. First and most importantly I’d like to make a special mention to our tour guide who made the difference for our experience, his name is Ombeni, he was absolutely amazing very knowledgeable, had eagle eyes to spot all animals near and far (how he done it il never know) and he found all the animals we wished to see and knew exactly where they would all be, it was like he could see into the future, even down to the weather!!!

He was so polite, very flexible and nothing was too much to ask.

The company was also very professional and assisted with all my tailored needs as it wasn’t an off the shelf package so i am very thankful and the whole process was so easy for us!

Thank you again Gosheni and Ombeni!!!
