Our Story

Founded by a Guide, Run by Locals

Gosheni Safaris began in 2009 when former safari guide and driver Peter Robert set out to build the operator he wished he'd worked for, one that treats travellers like family and its own people fairly.

Today we run 50+ self-owned 4x4 vehicles with a 100% Tanzanian team, so nothing about your safari is outsourced to strangers. Every journey is shaped by over a decade of on-the-ground experience and deep local connections.

Thank you Gosheni and George!

We had an amazing time on our safari tour. We saw every animal you can think of, and everything went very smoothly. We felt safe, comfortable and never had a dull moment. A lot of the credit for this trip goes to our wonderful guide and driver George. George was energetic, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He went above and beyond bringing us hot meals to eat in the middle of national parks, and used his vast network of connections with other safari guides to find us constant animal encounters that we would have not otherwise seen. We got to experience the wild of the Tanzanian wildlife while still being comfortable and well-looked after. I would definitely recommend Gosheni to anyone looking to travel in Tanzania and specifically George!

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari

Our safari in Tanzania was a trip of a lifetime, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Azaria. From the very first moment, Azaria made us feel completely safe, comfortable, and excited for the adventure ahead. His knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture is truly mind-blowing. He has an unbelievable "superpower" for spotting animals that we would have completely missed, including the Big Five and rare bird species. Thanks to his deep understanding of animal behavior, he always positioned the jeep perfectly for the best photos and views, without ever disturbing the wildlife. Beyond being a brilliant guide, Azaria looked after every single detail of our trip, answered all our endless questions with a smile. If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, do yourself a huge favor take the Gosheni Safaris Africa tour and ask for Azaria. Thank you, Azaria, for an unforgettable journey!

An Unforgettable Safari with Michael and Gosheni

Our safari with Gosheni was absolutely incredible. This trip was the perfect way to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and it became one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. Herman put together a fantastic itinerary for us. Starting in Serengeti, continuing to Ngorongoro, and finishing in Tarangire was the perfect route and made the whole journey flow beautifully. The biggest reason our safari was so exceptional, however, was our guide, Michael. Safari can sometimes involve unexpected or challenging situations, but thanks to his experience, knowledge, and professionalism, he handled everything with complete confidence and always made us feel safe. The entire trip was smooth from beginning to end. Michael's knowledge of the wildlife was truly impressive. He explained every animal we encountered in great detail, making each sighting even more special. Beyond that, his kindness, wisdom, and excellent driving skills made him an outstanding guide. I would love to come back to Tanzania one day, and when I do, I will definitely choose Gosheni again, and I sincerely hope to have Michael as my guide once more. He made this experience unforgettable.

Amazing experience

We just finished a 4 day safari tour with George as our guide. We had a wonderful experience. Gosheni took care of every detail and provided a luxury experience. They even brought to Serengeti some items I had left in the hotel in Arusha! We could not have asked for a better guide. George is very experienced and knowledgeable. We learned a lot from him. He knows Serengeti and Ngorongoro very well and took us to great places. He's very friendly and a great sense of humor. He's the best! I highly recommend Gosheni tours, and George for your guide.

Safari with Gosheni and Guıde Walter Wonderful

We chose Gosheni Tours for our safari in the Serengeti, and Walter was our guide on our private tour. We would like to sincerely thank Walter for being such an experienced and wonderful companion throughout our journey. He made our safari a truly unforgettable experience and perfectly captured the spirit of the Serengeti.

An Incredible Safari Experience

We were very pleased with the company we chose for our 2-day jeep safari tour, both with our guide (Walter) and with the office staff member, Marline. With all the information and proper guidance, we had a wonderful safari experience. Our guide Walter, in particular, with his knowledge and experience, gave us the opportunity to observe almost all the wildlife. It would have been even better if the safari vehicles were a bit more comfortable (newer), as it was tiring due to the poor roads.

January is a superb time for an East African safari. The short dry season brings clear skies, and in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area the wildebeest herds gather for calving season. Warm days, lush green scenery and fewer visitors than the peak months.

Why go in January

  • Wildebeest calving in Ndutu
  • Great birding with migratory species
  • Green season photography
