Gosheni Safaris Africa Opiniones 186

My friend and I just finished up a 3 day safari, and it was phenomenal! We were able to get extremely close to animals— close enough to pet giraffes and lions on multiple occasions. We are able to see all Big 5 animals, including the elusive black rhino in the crater. Our guide (Zadock) was able to meet all of our goals and was patient with us as we tried to get the perfect picture. Our vehicle was very comfortable, and was less than a year old. This was our first African safari, and I must say I am worried for any future safaris, as the bar was set so high on this one! Gosheni hit this one out of the park, and will be hard to top.

Goesheni were a breeze to deal with from organising to collection and even making tweaks to our itinerary nothing was a hassle! The food organized each day was absolutely delicious (I am still full!!), the accommodation unique and beautiful and the vehicle super spacious and comfortable made for plenty of chances to just watch and catch those candid moments of animals being animals.

Ombeni, our guide! This man made our experience unforgettable! He was kind, patiently, funny, incredibly knowledgeable about anything from animals, to nature, to culture. He knows each park like the back of his hand and knew just the right spots at the right time for us to really experience what the parks have to offer! Ombenis passion and love for the animals and Tanzania shone through in every conversation we had, this is something that I really appreciated!

If you’re wondering which company and who to pick it’s easy, pick Gosheni and ask for Ombeni!!!!!!

My partner and I spent 4 days on safari around the Northern Circuit. Organizing the safari was really easy and the director, Peter, was happy to customize our itinerary to suit us. We had an entire 6 seater Land cruiser to ourselves so never had to worry about battling for photos and we could spread out and make ourselves comfortable. The accommodation and food were fantastic, but the highlight was obviously seeing an incredible array of animals and landscapes as we made our way across Tarangire, Ngorongoro and The Serengeti.

This was all possible because of our amazing guide Ombeni. He was kind, funny, and always seemed to know where the animals were. In fact, he was so good that all the other guides were constantly stopping or calling over the radio to get tips from him. If you have Ombeni as your guide, then you know you are in good hands.

I couldn't recommend Gosheni more highly.

We had never visited the country before so we really appreciated the professional and fast responses when trying to determine an itinerary as well as their flexibility to create anything you wanted. Our safari driver/guide Ombeni was really top-notch. He has eagle eyes to spot all the animals and we got so close to the animals it was amazing and saw so many including the big 5. He has many years of experience and is very knowledgeable for any questions you have. The vehicle was new and very comfortable. The lodgings were also great with fantastic service. Also there is so much delicious food, we definitely packed on a few pounds. Hot plated food and wine included at lunch is also a great perk.

The safari that Goshen and our guide Ombeni gave us was the best. Ombeni has the best instincts to find the big 5 game animals. His eye sight will blow your mind how he can spot these animals in their natural habitats and of course respects the animals space but gets you close that GoPro could get video. Also Ombeni is super nice, welcoming and has a great spirit.
I highly recommend having Ombeni as your guide, he will make the trip and safari the best!

I would like to share my impressions of our safari trip with Gosheni.
It was my dream and I took the risk of realizing it with two children, one of them is 7 months old!How glad I am that we went and how lucky we were to have guide William with us these days. We just completely trusted him, he was our driver, he was attentive to our wishes and needs, always advised on time, according to the program. He was wonderful with our children. The eldest son ran to him all the time to ask, say, find out something. And he played with our baby as with his own child.
In the parks themselves, William attracted animals in some magical way! How he accelerated to discern them on spores is a big mystery for us! And we were wildly delighted with the hotel Serengeti Acacia, where we spent the night in the savannah.I regretted that we were there only one night! Here you dissolve in nature, you become one whole. The staff accepts you like old friends, the chef prepares fantastically delicious dishes and at the same time there are no shops, markets around, and in general there is nothing but wild animals and trees, you find yourself in an oasis and it is so relaxing and inspiring!
Thank you for giving us so many cool emotions on this trip!

We have a great tour with Gosheni Safaris for 3 nights and 4 days. Excellent service, a lot of information from guide William, brand new car and of course amazing national parks! We have seen plenty of wild animals in their own territory! Lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, wildebeests and more. Really amazing park Serengeti and staying in Serengeti Acacia Luxury Tents in the center of Serengeti was unforgettable experience. I will remember this tour forever!

We just finished a two-week safari in Tanzania using Gosheni Travel. While planning the trip we looked for a local tour company and, after talking with several, found that Peter (owner/manager) of Gosheni Safaris was very responsive to what we were looking for. Our guide, George, was terrific! Ash for him!! He is from the area and spoke English well. He was very experienced, kind, and listened carefully to what we wanted when there were small changes to make along the way. I am amazed at the amount of information George had for us during the trip. We asked so many questions and he had a wealth of knowledge about the animals, local community and history of Tanzania. Our time with the Massai villagers, the Hadza tribe bushmen (a tour highlight), Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro National Park and the Serengeti National Park is unforgettable and one of the most interesting trips we’ve taken. The good places we stayed at were Mount Meru Hotel, The Massai Village, The Ngorongo Farm House, and the Acacia Lodge in Serengeti. Great food, kind people and close to the animals. Avoid Ngorongoro Castle, and although the Acacia Tarangire was very nice, it was way too far into the park on a very bad road, and there must be better alternatives.

My wife and I decided on a whim to do a safari in Africa in early October 2020, and didn't leave ourselves more than a couple of weeks to set everything up. All we knew was that we wanted to do Tanzania and we were recommended Gosheni Safaris by a friend of a friend and decided to go with them.

I got in touch with Peter from Gosheni. From the start, Peter was prompt and helpful in setting it up. Due to Covid, our flights were rescheduled multiple times, but Peter was accommodating - always happy to rework the itinerary. Since we hadn’t done a full-blown safari before, 8 full days of it for our first trip to anywhere in Africa seemed too much. But it went more smoothly than any holiday I can remember.

We were to land early one evening, be met at the airport, start the safari drives the next morning and be dropped back at the airport 8 days later. William was our friend, philosopher, guide, driver and window to Africa - and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

We did Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area, Central and Northern Serengeti and Lake Manyara. William is an excellent driver, a great wildlife spotter, knowledgeable on birds and animals across the entire area, extremely punctual and very patient. We spotted and photographed over 140 different species during our safari.

William was always aware of what we would prefer to do. Within a few hours he had figured out our interests (we are avid photographers and aren’t particularly fussed about when we eat or what we eat), and went out of his way to ensure that we always had what we wanted.

Accommodation and food was excellent throughout. The staff we met at the various lodges were friendly and talkative, and we had fantastic service and food the entire time.

I strongly encourage people to travel to Africa and go on safari. The experience is magical. And go with Gosheni. They went above and beyond expectations to make sure that this bucket-list item would be ticked off in style.

We had a private 8 day Serengeti safari with Gosheni Safaris Africa and guide William - what a spectacular, excellent, and incredible experience. Gosheni had the best prices, itinerary, jeeps and guide - William - who is outstanding.

We toured many areas: Tarangire, Lake Natron, North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. With sharp eye William, we saw the Big 5: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. We saw thousands of wildebeest cross the Mara River, not just once, but twice. Saw hundreds of other animals including a live hurt wildebeest being attacked by a hyena. Thanks to owner, Peter, Gosheni safaris included fabulous accommodations - the finest glamping experience and great food. Besides the amazing game drives, we also toured a Maasai village, went on a hot air balloon ride, toured the Olduvai Museum, and canoed Lake Manyara. We will definitely return to Tanzania and request William of Gosheni Safaris!

We have visited many countries around the world, but this was our first time to Africa. A Tanzania Safari is at the top of the definite must do ultimate experience.

Here's why Gosheni Safaris and Guide William are the perfect choice.

1) Tour Operator is Important.
After researching numerous safari outfits, we found Gosheni had the ideal and flexibly itineraries as well as the best prices.

Owner Peter put together a fabulous 8 day private Safari adventure for us. Locations included: Tarangire National Park, Lake Natron, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. You can select a private or group tour, different levels of accommodations as well as a variety of activities.

2) Guide is Important.
We were very fortunate to have the best guide, William, who was an expert at spotting and knowing about every single animal and bird, as well as details about each area and the history. His driving skills were excellent, navigating very challenging roads safely and skillfully. William is multi-lingual and speaks perfect English. He is also the nicest person and always made sure that we were well taken care of. For example, William has great instincts and we saw two Wildebeest crossings in Northern Serengeti, over 50 giraffes clustered by the road while driving to Central Serengeti, a pool of 20 Hippos in the Seronera River, male and female lions while driving to Ngorongoro Crater... we could go on and on.

3) Vehicle is Important.
Husband and I traveled in a brand new 7-seater Land Cruiser. Gosheni has top of the line Safari vehicles with a pop-up roof, big windows, comfortable double cushioned seats, and wifi (they have USB ports or bring a type G electrical adapter). Jeep was clean every morning when William picked us up.

4) Meals are Important.
Gosheni safaris includes all meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are also able to accommodate any food preferences. We are vegan and had delicious meals. During lunch breaks, we noticed that other tour groups had bag lunches, but Gosheni Safaris provided full course lunches served on dishes, including a tablecloth and cloth napkins, along with unlimited bottled water and soft drinks, even wine is you like. Special touches such as this sets Gosheni apart from all the rest. There are other amenities that we won't mention so that you can be pleasantly surprised.

5) Tip: bring lots of cash for tipping and purchases. US dollars have to be newer crisp bills. Many shops don't have credit cards machines, and even exclusive lodges are cash only as their credit card machines often don't work.
Bring smaller bills for tipping baggage handlers and larger bills for the general tipping jar at the lodge, and of course, at the end of the safari, tip your guide well as he works very hard.

Gosheni is the ultimate choice for the adventure of a lifetime. Be sure to ask for William!!!

Asante sana Peter and William!

Incredible experience ! acommadations were amazing, the food excellent. The safari was above our expectations. Ombeni, was the best guide,very professional, patience and a lot of knowledge. The truck is super comfortable, with wifi, charger..we super recommend the experience, could not have been better! We came in covid situation and everything was amazing!

It was an once in a lifetime stay! Ombeni was a Perfect Guide for us and we will never forget it!!! Although there is a lot of trouble around Corona, we felt very safe and they did an excellent job here! We would rate Ombeni with 6 stars if we could :-D

Excellent safari experience. Guide ia extremeley friendly and knowledgeable, staff is very accommodating, patient, and reliable. Exelent food in the lodge. This was beyond expectations and i highly recommend these guys.

The best agency for a Safari... I have done several safaris in few countries and this is by far the best agency in terms of guide (William the most experienced one for all the parks), lodges, organization and they do the extra miles for you. Despite we traveled this August in the middle of the pandemic, they take all the necessary precaution for our safety.

Incredible experience. We visited in late August 2020 and everything was perfect:

-All the precautions are taken by the Goreshi: everything is sanitised and all the staff wear masks.

-The safari is incredible, the guide is knowledgeable and we were able to see the big 5 multiple times
-For anyone hesitating or worried about visiting during the pandemic, Serengeti and Ngorongoro are probably the safest places on earth right now

It really is the experience of a lifetime and you get to do it in a luxury setup with an amazing team. The food is top notch and the lodges are luxurious to say the least.

This was our first time in Tanzania and even in Africa. So we wanted to go for Safari with the right company and right tour guide as well. After searching a bit, we was sure to do it with Gosheni and our guide should be Ombeni! After 8 days Safari experience, now we know we choose the right company and tour guide.. Ombeni made an unforgettanable memory for us, we saw African big 5 for several times and we had great photos with these wild animals.. As you see, we are crazy people who are travelling during this Covid pandemic! Ombeni and Gosheni made everything very easy for us! He sterilized all the car and reminded us to do the same.. We stayed at very nice camps, all staff and the food were amazing.. If you would like to go for Safari, do it with Gosheni and ask for Ombeni as a tour guide. It is %100 guarantee that you will enjoy a lot and be happy! We came as a client and leaving as friends! Thank you Ombeni!!

The tour exceedes our expectations thanks to Obeni. He helped us for everything and we have seen all animals. He is also so carefull about pandemi. Cleaning the car everytime AMD wear mask even there is no corona issue.

Excellente organisation du safari et excellent guide, passionné, respectueux de la nature et des animaux, en plus d’être attentionné envers nous. Il nous a fait voir tous les animaux et nous a appris sur eux. Les services d’hôtellerie étaient plus que satisfaisants sachant qu’ils prennent place au cœur de la nature sauvage. La cuisine était bonne et généreuse; les lodges propres, élégantes et agréables.

In 6 days safari, Hassan found for us: 2 leopards in 2 different park, 3 cheetahs (guepards), one rhinoceros, 30 lions, 2 migration wildebeest crossing the mara river (for one of them we were all alone, without any other cars) and they were near than 1000 wildebeast(gnus). All this should be enough to convince anybody that Hassan is a very very good guide.
The lodges were also perfect and the food very good. Thanks Hassan and gosheni safari
