Gosheni Safaris was top knotch!
Gosheni Safaris gave us an incredibly memorable experience. Calvin, our guide, paid attention to the little details that made a lot of difference. For example, providing extra charger when ours didn’t work or washing the windows clean for the next day safaris. He was a good communicator ensuring we knew what was on the itinerary and what to expect. We learned much from Calvin as he talked about the animals we saw and about the really cool Hadza and Masai tours. Calvin was a safe driver. It rained one afternoon and he drove through competently giving us a safe comfort in the trip. He cared about us have a fantastic experience, was safe, and was he was great.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari with Gosheni – Absolutely Unforgettable!
We recently returned from a safari with Gosheni Safaris, and I can wholeheartedly say it was one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. From the very beginning, the experience was seamless and personalized.
Our coordinator, Norah, was absolutely phenomenal. I had quite a few specific requests and questions, and she worked closely with me through countless emails to create the perfect itinerary. She was always quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and had fantastic recommendations. Thanks to her efforts, we enjoyed excellent accommodations and a well-thought-out itinerary that fit our preferences perfectly.
Our guide and driver, Calvin, truly made the safari special. He was not only highly knowledgeable about wildlife, but also so thoughtful and accommodating. For example, he brought a stool to help my mom comfortably get in and out of the vehicle—just one of many ways he went above and beyond. Calvin's driving was calm and confident, even in the most challenging terrain, and we always felt safe in his hands.
We enjoy a pole pole (slow-paced) safari experience, taking our time to observe and photograph wildlife, and Calvin respected this style completely. Our family, full of scientists, asked a lot of questions—about animals, ecosystems, plants, local culture—and he answered them all with enthusiasm, insight, and often a touch of humor. He was personable, engaging, and incredibly well-versed in everything from tribal customs to animal behavior. He was the perfect guide for us.
One of the highlights of the trip was celebrating my mom’s 65th birthday with a surprise picnic on safari. Gosheni went above and beyond to make it special—complete with a birthday cake, while watching elephants and baboons in a stunningly serene setting. It was magical.
I chose Gosheni after extensive research, in part because they are TATO-registered (Tanzania Association of Tour Operators), which signaled professionalism, safety, and high standards—and they exceeded all expectations.
From tailored itineraries and exceptional staff to beautiful accommodations and unforgettable game drives, Gosheni delivers a truly attentive, top-tier safari experience. I now understand why they receive such glowing reviews, and I’m thrilled to add ours to the list.
Highly recommend!
Fantastic safari service

Definitely first choice among the safari operators!
Tour guide is the key to safari experience. Our tour guide Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable, reliable, and experienced. We managed to observe a big lion family, a cheetah with cubs, and three leopards very closely within 1.5 days of safari, which is totally above our expectation! Besides, Andrew is very passionate about wildlife, and there is not a single question about wildlife that he could not answer (he is very professional, almost like a biologist!) On top of that, Andrew has a very pleasant personality, and communication between us has always been very smooth. We are very lucky and grateful to have him as our tour guide.
This is the second time that we’ve booked safari tours with Gosheni. They have some Chinese sales reps and response is quick. Price is also fair. More importantly, they always check hotel availability first before recommending to us, which reduces booking uncertainty (some vendors need to arrange payment first before checking). However, I think the quality of their guides is mixed. Andrew is definitely a surprise while our Kenya tour guide is a bit disappointing.

Fantastic time
We were just on a 7 day safari for our honeymoon and had a great time!
Leading up to the trip, Gosheni was the fastest to respond to our enquiries. Norah answered all our questions patiently and swiftly.
Our guide was Andrew. Andrew’s love for animals really showed and he shared so much with us about all the animals that we saw. He has a gift for story telling too. His expertise really shone through when we encountered a leopard and when it shifted positions, all the vehicles zoomed off to chase it down but he confidently remained in the same spot and told us that the leopard would come back - and it did.
He was a fast driver but also a very safe one - we appreciated his priority being safety! For example, he would ask us to close the top at certain points due to areas being prone to tse tse flies or when there was risk of rockfall near a cliff. We also enjoyed the hot food we had on safari.
Everything was smooth sailing and we had a fantastic time.

Wonderful guide that gave us brilliant Safari experience
Our guide Andrew was a spectacular person, who was really easygoing, helpful and passionate about the job.
Thanks to Andrew’s great experience, we were able to spot quite a few rare animals, all of big fives, and even 5 rhinos in one day.
We also learned a lot about Tanzania history from Andrew, as well as East Africa and Massai culture. The Safari experience was outstanding and would definitely recommend our friends to join Andrew’s groups. Last but not least, Andrew was also a good photographer and helped us took quite a few nice photos.

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable guide
Andrew was a friendly, calm, and knowledgeable guide. Besides the information of the sites that he took us to visit, he also introduced lots of different aspects of knowledge that came up during our trip - either something that we encountered, or the topics that we happened to talk about, such as the East African culture, rare animals we saw on the road, or the Massai honey collection and selling process.
All things including our stays and picnics were well arranged by Andrew, and we enjoyed our times with him. Will definitely love to hire Andrew again if we come to Tanzania for our next Safari.
