We visited Tanzania in the month of march 2023 , we spotted every animal be it lions , cheetahs & leopards. Special thanks to Mr. William & Mr. Bariki from gosheni safaris . We were very warmly welcomed , straight went away to spotting animals in ngorongoro conservation area . The kids were super excited has our outdoor picnic lunch along side hippos. The hotels we stayed were very warm and very kid friendly. All our game drives were very adventurous and exciting , spotting animals were our favourite activity , the guides took the mission of showing us and the kids every animal , communicating via radio about the animal position and whisking us away to see and admire the animals . We had the best time off roaring and spotting a cheetah devouring a baby wilder beast in ndutu. Serengeti national park was vast and where we spotted many lions .Zadock was our driver and guide and he was excellent.

Zadock was our driver and guide and he was excellent. Zadock was very knowledgeable about the animals and he showed us ALL of the animals! He kept saying that we were lucky to see all the animals but I believe his experience and hard working attitude was what made this experience unforgettable.

We booked our honeymoon Safari trip with Gosheni ,they took care of everything to make sure you enjoy your trip and Safari. A truly once in lifetime experience. You should definitely try to get Gabriel as your guide because he is the best! He has 16+ years of experience and it shows. He is excellent at spotting all the different animals and knowing everything you’d want to know about them. He’s also just a terrific driver as he has no problem navigating the difficult terrain (we saw multiple other tours’ jeeps broken down). But, most importantly, he has a good sense of humor and kept our entire game driving entertaining. He is extremely friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with! One thing the tour does special compared to others is the lunch. They go above and beyond to create a special fun experience. Everyone else had boxed cold lunches. But Gabriel had the special containers, table cloth, and utensils that allowed him to serve us a multi course meal with glasses of wine to boot. Thank you Gab and Gosheni for this amazing trip!

This was an experience of a lifetime! We booked Gosheni safari tours for our honeymoon based on their great reviews, and were not disappointed. From the beginning, we received excellent service.

Our tour guide, William, was absolutely outstanding. He was kind, knowledgable, patient and had a great sense of intuition for the best sightings.
