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.
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!

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!

Awesome experience with Bariki!
Gosheni was easy to work with. They got back to us quickly with questions and with helpful answers. The camps we stayed at were wonderful and our guide (Bariki) was the best. So knowledgeable, funny and personable. We saw so many wonderful sites and amazing animals. I would highly recommend this tour group! I loved this Safari!
Bariki our Rafiki- best guide ever, awesome safari
Gosheni was a great outfit, and I can say enough about our Guide Bariki.
We had 6 in our group and were had the experience of a lifetime. We could see the difference between our guide and company vs other groups. We were very happy to have a great vehicle, great support and an awesome guide who was so knowledgeable and genuinely excited about Safari. It’s important to get a guide who really understands animal behavior.

He is the best of best.
The best guide ever, Ombeni! He is extremely dedicated and reliable, with eyes as sharp as an eagle. He has an excellent knack for seizing the right moments, leading us to witness many amazing scenes—such as a cheetah hunting and the lion king passing right by us. Besides, he is also very helpful: he helped others fix their cars and even carried a turtle across the road to safety. Highly recommend Ombeni!

Ombeni，Best of the best！
An Unparalleled Journey, All Thanks to Our Angel-like Guide!
If I had to describe our guide, Ombeni, in one sentence: he was far more than a guide—he was the guardian, teacher, and friend of our African adventure.
Our safari in Tanzania was truly magnificent because of him. His eyes seemed to hold a living encyclopedia of wildlife. He could spot a hidden cheetah from the slightest movement in the distant grass, and would patiently take time to explain the wonders of a single acacia tree. His knowledge was astounding.
But what moved us even more than his expertise was his heart. He constantly wore the warmest smile and was always attentive to our needs. He showed deep respect for this land and all its creatures—always keeping a safe distance, never disturbing the animals, and sharing stories that helped us understand the importance of protecting this wilderness.
His professionalism, kindness, and passion truly embodied the spirit and warmth of the African people. Thanks to him, we didn’t just see magnificent sunsets and vast herds of wildebeest—we felt the soul of Africa.
It’s no exaggeration to say he is the best guide we’ve ever had. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, do not miss the chance to travel with Ombeni—it will be the best decision of your journey.
Thank you, Ombeni! You’ve etched Africa forever in our hearts.

A truly memorable trip — saw the Big Five and experienced the unique Maasai culture.
I booked my safari with Gosheni after a friend’s recommendation last year, and now I’m the one recommending them to everyone planning to visit Africa! It was truly an unforgettable journey where I witnessed Africa’s Big Five and learned about the fascinating Maasai culture.
Our guide and driver, Albert, was absolutely amazing — deeply knowledgeable about wildlife and incredibly sharp-eyed. He could spot animals long before anyone else, even those hiding behind rocks or resting under trees. Thanks to him, we saw all of the Big Five, including a rare black rhino with impressive horns — definitely the highlight of the trip!
Daily expenses in Africa were quite reasonable. Our camp offered delicious buffet breakfasts and dinners, and even prepared packed lunches for our game drives. If you have any food allergies or preferences, the camp staff are happy to accommodate.
Souvenirs were also affordable — handmade beaded coasters cost around $1, while beautifully carved wooden plates ranged from $30 to $80.
It was a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and culture — I’ll cherish this trip forever.

Wildlife, Warmth, and Wonder – Our Safari with George
We had the absolute pleasure of spending 8 days on safari in Tanzania with George as our guide, and we truly could not have asked for anyone better. From the moment we met him, we felt completely safe, well taken care of, and in expert hands. Just trust George, you’ll be in for the experience of a lifetime.
He was incredibly knowledgeable, answering every single one of our (many!) questions with clarity, patience, and genuine passion for the wildlife and landscapes around us. He was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable, happy with the lodges, and getting the most out of every game drive. It honestly felt like we were traveling with family, that’s how much warmth and care he brings to the experience.
And when it comes to sightings… wow. On just one single day, we saw a pride of around 30 lionesses and cubs, a cheetah with two cubs, three male lions walking on the trail, and a leopard up in a tree with its prey hanging beside it. That was just one day, so you can only imagine the kind of unforgettable wildlife encounters we had over the full 8 days!
George was also a joy to talk to during our drives, always sharing insights, stories, and keeping the energy positive and exciting. Every evening, he’d give us a detailed summary of the next day’s plan and make sure we were fully satisfied with how things were going.
We will truly miss him and are so grateful to have had him as our guide. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, go with George. You won’t regret it.
