Duration
10-Day
Aberdare National Park, Kenya
The word safari, translated from Swahili meaning journey, is believed to be born in Kenya. Ever since the first railway was built through the remote areas of Kenya in the 1900s, the writer Ernest Hemingway, the hunter Finch Hatton, and President Roosevelt came to Kenya on safari and left spellbound. Kenya is a land where big game roams, and local tribes exist in landscapes of indescribable beauty. As a result, Kenya is often mentioned as a country where visitors have a holiday of a lifetime.

5.0/5My guide is Hassan, who is experienced and knows lots of knowledge. Traveling in Africa has given me the most unforgettable experience of my life. Every corner of this land is full of magic and warmth. The vast and wild scenery takes my breath away — golden sunsets, endless grasslands, and clear skies make me feel close to nature. What touches me most is not only the amazing views but also the kindness of the local people. Their simple and happy lives, bright smiles, and sincere greetings make me feel warm and welcome. I have tasted special local food, listened to wonderful music, and enjoyed the peaceful rhythm of life here.

My friends and I went on a 6-day safari, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Bariki, was exceptional- we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He is incredibly knowledgeable about history, culture, plants, and, of course, animals. He patiently answered all our questions, no matter how silly they were. As someone who loves animals, I learned so much from him, especially about animals behaviours and was amazed by all the fascinating facts I had never heard before. Without explanations, an animal might just seem like it’s standing there—but with Bariki’s insights, every sighting became meaningful and moving. He is also fantastic at spotting animals from a distance and knows exactly how to approach them without disturbing or threatening them. Thanks to him, we saw a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big 5, the ‘Ugly 5,’ and even a rare lesser kudu! One of the highlights was witnessing a cheetah successfully hunt a gazelle, it was so thrilling! Thanks again to Bariki for an unforgettable trip, and to also Herman for helping us plan everything so smoothly. I would highly recommend Gosheni and Bariki to anyone looking for an incredible safari experience, and I would definitely come back!

The safari was insane, we saw 14 cheetahs, 4 leopards and over 40 lions not to mention hundreds of other animals. Our guide Samir was very skilled at tracking animals and positioning us just right to take the best pictures. Samir was also very attentive to all our needs - he even went out of his way to organize a little celebration for us for our wedding anniversary during the trip. The car was very comfortable as well and Samir was a great driver! While plenty of other drivers got stuck in muddy conditions, Samir was only involved in rescuing a few! Overall, it was a great safari experience and we would highly recommend Gosheni and Samir.

This entire trip exceeded all of our expectations. We did a 6-day safari during the February calving season, visiting Ndutu, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro as a group of four. Highly recommended Ndutu during calving season as this is only area can do off-road game drive, which allows you to see animals extremely close. Before booking, I contacted 30 safari operators that I shortlisted and compared everything — accommodations, vehicles (AC was important to us), pricing, and communication. Gosheni stood out immediately for their professionalism and responsiveness. A big thanks to Herman for helping us choose the best travel window to reduce the chance of heavy rain while maximizing our chances of seeing newborn animals. His communication was prompt, and he handled every question and adjustment quickly and professionally while we refined the itinerary. And a huge shout-out to our guide, Bariki — he truly made our dream safari come true. First, his knowledge and professionalism were outstanding. His understanding of the Serengeti ecosystem is incredibly deep. He can spot animals from miles away, knows their territories, and always knew how to track the specific animals we hoped to see. Every sighting came with fascinating explanations of animal behaviour, and he patiently answered every question we had — even random questions about plants we noticed along the road. Second, his driving and problem-solving skills were exceptional. This turned out to be incredibly important on the muddy and flooded roads of Ndutu and the Serengeti. He always knew alternative routes, could quickly adjust plans when conditions changed, and consistently got us to the right place at the right time. Finally, he has a fantastic eye for photography and safari experience. He knew the best angles, positioned the vehicle perfectly for lighting, and helped us capture amazing photos throughout the trip. During our 5 days of game drives (plus 1 transit day), we saw everything we hoped for and more: the Big Five, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, wildebeest, zebras, many birds and antelope — and baby animals almost everywhere thanks to calving season. The highlight of the trip was witnessing a successful cheetah hunt, which was unforgettable. Thanks to Bariki again for spotting and predicting the hunting! I arrived hoping to see specific animals and behaviours, and left with so much knowledge, appreciation, and love for safari. We will definitely be back for another trip.
