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

An unforgettable experience with Gosheni – simply perfect! - We are just about to finish our safari with Gosheni, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first day to the last, everything was flawless, exciting, and organized with impressive attention to detail. We want to make a special mention of George, our driver, a man with an eternal smile who radiates calmness, kindness, and professionalism. George worked incredibly hard to make sure we could see as many animals as possible, and not only that – thanks to his dedication, experience, and amazing eye, we witnessed unforgettable scenes of true wildlife moments. His safe and smooth driving made every kilometer comfortable, and his positive energy made each day brighter. And then there is Nickson, our guide. His knowledge of the environment, the animals, their behaviors, and local culture is simply extraordinary. He knows exactly where to look, what to expect, and how to explain every sighting in a fascinating way. The coordination between Nickson and George is outstanding: they form a perfect team, perfectly synchronized to make sure we experienced the very best of each park. Thanks to them, we lived moments we will carry with us forever. The combination of excellent organization, professionalism, and authentic human warmth made this safari exceed all our expectations. We would repeat it without hesitation and highly recommend Gosheni, especially if you are lucky enough to travel with George and Nickson, two essential pillars of this unforgettable adventure. A journey to remember forever

A magical safari led by Ombeni - A magical safari! Ombeni was an outstanding guide — funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. His skills helped us see the Big Five and understand so much about local wildlife and culture. The Serengeti was majestic, the Ngorongoro Crater unforgettable. Great food and perfect accommodations too!

Toppp - An exceptional journey! Ombeni turned a safari into a life experience. With his keen eye, we spotted all of the Big Five up close. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were spectacular. The hotels were beautiful, the staff friendly, and the meals very good.

Amazing Honeymoon Experience in the Serengeti - My wife and I had an amazing recent honeymoon safari experience with Gosheni. From the planning to the trip itself, they worked to make sure that everything went seamlessly. We had a great array of camps scheduled by Maliwaza and enjoyed every one of them. On the safari side, our guide Samir did everything he could to make it special. From the beginning, as we departed Arusha, he ensured we made it to the parks in a timely fashion and displayed a sense of urgency to ensure we made our scheduled stops and saw what we wanted to see. He was always in touch with other drivers and ensured we were always in the best places at the right time. We had the opportunity to see all of the Big Five and had great vantage points to see them all. Even at lunch time, he always had a camping spot and a great meal ready to go. We can’t recommend Gosheni enough!

Safari trip -Dream experience - I would like to highly recommend this company. We have just returned from the 5 days safari trip with Gosheni. From the very beginning of our e-mail contact, through out the whole trip everything was prepared and conducted not according to our wishes , but rather met our dreams. We had very friendly, polite and skilled guide, who was able to provide the best spots to see for us. During our overnight stays everything was 5 stars. Thank you Gosheni for the time of our dreams come true.

The best trip ever - It was definitely a wonderful safari, the company was well-organized, with a wide choice of accommodations, efficient airport pickup and drop-off, comfortable hotels, and personalized staff. Lions drinking water at night outside the tents was a truly wonderful experience. And at the same time, everything was safely organized. Lunch was taken on the road in canteens, which reduced waste, and there was constant access to water, juices, and cola. Our guide, Richardo, was experienced. This allowed us to observe elephants passing right in front of the car, lions, even cheetahs resting, and a leopard with its prey in a tree. Hundreds of other animals, including antelopes, buffalo, ostriches, hippos, and birds. A reliable company, with impeccable service.
