Trip of a lifetime with the ultimate guide
Words can’t describe this experience, we have traveled all over the world and being on Safari with Bariki was one of the highlights of our lives! He was incredibly experienced, informed, and accommodating. One of the best guides we have had in any place, anywhere. Had amazing instincts about places to go, was an incredible driver and set us up in fantastic locations for great photos. He is also very flexible and accommodating if you need changes or whatever your group soils like to do. Gosheni had great communication and made us feel welcomed and special. They were very easy to work with! If you want a personalized experience for a reasonable price this is the place to use!
Geaux Tigers!
We spent 6 days with James and he was an incredible guide. Good natured, friendly and an absolute expert at animal identification. We saw lions, cheetahs, cape buffalo, elephants, a leopard, a serval cat, a black rhino, pumbas and all varieties of antelope. Thank you James, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Truly Remarkable
The safari with Gosheni was a highlight of my travel life. Bariki is a perfect guide with incredible knowledge of the parks and animals. He also went out of his way to ensure we saw more elusive animals such as distant leopards and engaged in interesting conversation. We saw all of the big 5 multiple times as well as other interesting animals such as cheetahs, servals, crocodiles, and of course wildebeest in the Great Migration. August is a great time to embark on a safari and I absolutely recommend Gosheni. They are accomodating and knowledgeable and I can’t imagine a safari experience being much better than the one I had.

Outstanding; much above and beyond expectations
We traveled with George Matias. For 9 days we were privileged enjoy his knowledge, courtesious interaction with us. We are from Boston, USA. I am a Physician interested in photography, I wrote the following to Omer, our agent in Israel from another World Travel, who connected with you to arrange all the logistic of our Safari in Tanzania:b
In English
George truly deserves the highest praise. He is absolutely exceptional — not only with his deep knowledge and guiding skills, but also with his kindness, patience, and tireless support. He went far beyond his duty in every possible way: helping us, caring for us, and even assisting with photography. He gave us an unforgettable experience and did things for us that no one else would have done. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide.
in sweHilli:
George anastahili sifa za juu kabisa. Yeye ni wa kipekee kweli — sio tu kwa maarifa yake na ujuzi wa kuongoza, bali pia kwa upole, uvumilivu, na msaada wake usiokuwa na kikomo. Alijitahidi zaidi ya wajibu wake kwa kila njia: kutusaidia, kutujali, na hata kutusaidia kwa upigaji picha. Ametupa uzoefu usiosahaulika na kufanya mambo kwa ajili yetu ambayo hakuna mtu mwingine angefanya. Tumebahatika sana kuwa naye kama mwongozi wetu.

Gosheni is professional, well organised with staff that do their utmost to make you feel welcome.
We have just returned from an incredible safari holiday in Tanzania organised by Gosheni Safaris. Thanks so much to Prosper, Nora and the team for making our stay so memorable. Our guide Prosper made our trip which covered Tarangiri, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti very special with his great sense of humour and expert knowledge. Prosper always knew where and when to spot the wildlife. We saw something new each day, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, flamingos...the list goes on, culminating in experiencing thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. The recommended hotels and camps were well located, had all the home comforts, good food and very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend Gosheni.

Trip of a Lifetime!!!
Norah, William, and Malizawa made our trip of a lifetime a huge success. Exceeded our expectations and made all our dreams come true. Attention to every detail and amazing work ethic is what you can expect. We saw the Big 5 and more. Thank you Gosheni!

Professional, breathtaking experience
We just finished a fantastic 8 day safari in Tanzania with Bariki as our guide. We traveled with our family of 6. None of us has been to Africa before, and we didn’t know what to expect. Bariki made the entire experience fun and fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the national parks and was amazing at spotting animals. His expert driving got us as close as possible to the animals and to the wildebeest crossing the Mara River. We liked how we discussed plans each evening to make sure timing and expectations worked for each day. We could not have enjoyed this trip more, we learned so much at dinner about Tanzania through friendly conversations, too. I highly recommend Bariki as a guide to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Arusha.

Our guide, Bariki is excellent! He is the BEST!
Bariki’s knowledge is incredible, he would tell us names of each animal, bird and plant, their lifestyle and their specialities. He is very familiar with the parks and absolutely careful and alert in caring for our well-being. He brought us to see many amazing sightings and by the end of our 10 days with him, we feel that we know the animals and birds very well. He kept his jeep spotless because we spent 10 days in the jeep and our windows were so clean for our picture taking. Because of Bariki, I will give a 5 plus!
However, I will give a 3 to the accommodations. Olkarien Eco Safari Camp was leaking, slippery (unsafe) and no hot water for shower. Acacia Tarangire Luxury camp was old and the taps in the shower was not working. The friendliness of the hotel staff made up the short comings but I mentioned it here, hoping Gosheni will maintain the hotel better. The other hotels like Manyara Secret Lodge, Serengeti River Camp and Lions Paw Camp were fine.
For communications and operations, I will give it a 2. We do not get response and had to send reminders. :-(

Great tour guide, accommodation mismatch
Our driver-tour guide Bariki is above excellence. He is knowledgeable about the habits of animals in the bush, birds as well as plants. As a result, he made our journey a truly memorable experience. Added to that, Bariki's good sense of humour kept us looking forward to each new day.
Gosheni sold us a mid luxury package which had a couple of disappointing hotels- Olkarien Eco Camp and Acacia at Tarangire. Both are part of the Acacia chain, I would steer clear of them. These were not four star but the former was really below three stars. The Olkarien is badly in need of upkeep. However, the staff at both tried their best and we were happy with their efforts. We also stayed at hotels in the Karibu chain, and those were a cut above.
Gosheni needs an operations person, badly. The sales person who sold us the package started ghosting us just before and at the beginning of the trip. That was terrible.
Overall, Gosheni has to try to ensure a more consistent standard, not just good tour guides.
