We just got back from the safari of a lifetime! Gowitness Africa Safaris looked after us better than I could ever imagine and exceeded our expectations. From the moment I got in touch about booking a safari until the moment I landed back home I was looked after by this company. I love to support local businesses as they provide personal care and attention. This was definitely achieved by Gowitness, who took care of everything from the transfer to the airport, flights, 4wd and amazing safari guides, beautiful accomodation and a fabulous safari itinerary. A special thank you to our guides who did an incredible job at finding every animal on our list and more! They had a lot of knowledge and adjusted the route to find the best wildlife.

I went to the incredible Mahale mountains, the whole tour was outstanding from the first contact I made with Gogiraffe safaris, I was treated like a friend not just someone booking a tour, the communication was second to none as was the organisation of the entire trip, if I visit Tanzania again I wouldn’t book with anyone else

Excellent treatment! We booked a 3-night tour to Gombe National Park and Kigoma Town. Chimp trekking is a unique activity and Kigoma Town is very interesting. Everything was made easy for us and Luice and his team replied immediately to all of our queries. We were also suggested alternatives when things took an unexpected turn! I definitely recommend.

Together with my wife and a friend, we contacted GoGiraffe to organize a 10 days trip in western Tanzania. Our goal was to visit Katavi National Park, Mahale and Gombe.While defining the Tour, I greatly appreciated the quick replies of Luice: easy to access and fast in responding to our request. The area we wanted to visit, is the less visited in Tanzania and the Parks are difficult to reach but can guarantee a very low presence of tourists. In the 3 parks visited, we were almost alone all the time!We met Luice at the ferry arrival from Zanzibar and immediately appreciated the capacity to be on time and of have constant communication via wupp which allowed us to feel safe and well followed.We flew to Mpanda where we met the local driver and the guide. We agreed on a medium budget tour, so we slept in the Bandas of the Park. The accommodation was simple but fair, same thing for the food provided at the Bandas restaurant. The Park is fantastic, and we saw all the animals expected with the only exception of the lions. We never met other tourists and really loved the 2 days of safari.From Katavi we moved to Mahale. It is almost impossible to go straight there as the road conditions are extremely poor, but the trip is a great opportunity to observe local life and people. So, we stopped in Kigoma, were we really loved the beautiful Kigoma Hilltop Hotel with its view on the lake, a beautiful swimming pool and a very good restaurant!Early the following day, another long and beautiful drive to reach Mahale including a very picturesque ferry, an amazing experience of local life!! Finally, we arrived to the Park with a final 90 minute ride on a boat on the Tanganika lake watching the superb and uncontaminated nature of the coast. The landscape in Mahale is extraordinary: I felt like I was in Jurassic Park movie! In the Park we were under the supervision of Hussein Mavumila: a great, experienced guide and very nice person. Bandas was ok and the food better than in Katavi. With Hussein, the following day, we started the trek seeking for chimpanzees which we met and observed for all the morning. Amazing!The following day, long trip: back to Kigoma to catch the boat to Gombe. The transfers in this trip were always long and not necessarily comfortable but, to me, those are the best moments in Africa as allowed us to see real life, including the fisherman’s villages with the Tanganika Lake always in our sight. The Gombe National Park was founded by Jane Goodall to preserve and study the Chimps. The Bandas there are very poor so, if you can, reserve at the tent at the camp very close there: little more expensive but by far cleaner and more comfortable! The following morning, another long trek in the forest watching several chimps relaxed and very busy with eating and delousing. Great day! After lunch, we decided to accelerate our trip back to Kigoma so to join the comfort of Kigoma Hilltop Hotel! This decision allowed us, the following day, to be at 8 am at the fishermen arrival from the fishing night and spend a couple of hour admiring the local women selling the sardines. Such a colorful and amazing show!! The morning was completed with the visits of the Kigoma Train Station (a very important piece of history for Tanzania), the Slave Road surrounded by huge mango’s trees, and the very interesting Livingston Museum, built in the place were Dr Livingstone and Mr. Stanley met.Our journey ended with a comfortable night in Dar where we had the opportunity to have a pleasant dinner with Luice, learning a lot of things on Tanzania and future opportunities of other trips!Overall, our experience has been very positive, knowing that this trip is not for everybody but mostly for experienced travelers. Visiting the less touristic part of Tanzania, can create some discomfort but the constant assistant of Luice via wupp helped to solve all the issues and the reward is fantastic: we will keep in our heart the beautiful images of people, nature and landscapes for the rest of our lives!!!

Nous avons fait notre premier safari dans le sud de la Tanzanie avec Gogiraffe, à Mikumi, Ruaha et Nyerere — une expérience vraiment inoubliable ! Notre guide, Nazaret, était exceptionnel : plein d’histoires passionnantes sur les animaux et le pays, toujours souriant et rassurant. Nous avons eu la chance de voir le Big 4 — éléphant, lion, léopard et buffle (le rhinocéros n’étant visible que dans le nord) — ce qui a rendu ce premier safari encore plus magique. Vous pouvez faire confiance à Gogiraffe les yeux fermés. Et si vous partez avec Nazaret, foncez sans hésiter !

We had the most incredible experience with Gogiraffe Safaris on our 6-day journey through Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere National Parks. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. Our driver-guide was truly exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about wildlife. He made every game drive exciting and educational, always going the extra mile to find the best sightings while ensuring we were safe and comfortable at all times. The accommodations throughout the safari were excellent, with each lodge offering a unique charm, great food, and warm hospitality. We especially appreciated the thoughtful selection of places that blended comfort with authentic safari vibes. What really stood out was the responsiveness and professionalism of the entire Gogiraffe Safaris team. From planning the trip to handling every detail during our stay, they were always available, proactive, and attentive to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore Tanzania’s stunning wildlife and landscapes. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a seamless and unforgettable safari experience!

This was a private tour planned with us and Go-Giraffe Safaris. We went to Mahale, Tarangire, Ngonrogoro and Serengeti National Parks. In total we travelled to the parks with Go-Giraffe Safaris for two weeks. We had an exceptional two weeks filled with incredible care, expertise from the guides and drivers they provided. The lodges and camps where we stayed were top of the line with excellent facilities and the food was beyond excellent ! All my meals were gluten free prepared. The memories we will have of this journey through Africa was made even more special with Go-giraffe safaris. We thank Restituta, Hussein, Jacob and all the staff who made our stay in Mahale so very special. We thank Lemomo, our guide and driver who took us through Tarangire, Ngonrogoro and Serengeti showing us the parks with his expertise and passion for the animals. We love to hear his stories at dinner and we had fun meeting his mom near his village! All the staff at Go-Giraffe made our trip so very special. Karama Lodge in Arusha was exceptional! Thank you to Luice who kept in touch with my husband throughout the whole trip making sure all was going smoothly.

I can't recommend GoGiraffe Safaris highly enough for an everything-you-could-wish-for African safari experience. From pre-travel communication and aid, to designing a custom safari & Zanzibar trip for our group of 8, luxury accommodations and flexible schedules on each day of our tour, and not least, spending hours (upon hours!) with us each day as we reveled in the natural beauty of the landscape and took our 8000th picture of a zebra :), Luice and his guides Rama and Rajab were consummate professionals while also being friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I am convinced that Luice has the sharpest eyes in all of Serengeti and without him we would have missed much on the "endless plain." My heartfelt thanks to Luice and his crew for a truly amazing experience. Asante sana!

GoGiraffe Safaris were exceptional guides as they toured my wife and me and our friends through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw an amazing number of animals and beautiful scenery. Its exhausting and exhilarating, and our accommodations were a nice respite from the long days in the wilderness. I would highly recommend Luice and GoGiraffe Safaris, as they not only educated us in the history and culture of East Africa, they are able to solve problems. Before the trip we had difficulty with our visas that Luice was personally able to resolve. While we were visiting Stone Town after our safari my wife left her earrings at a Zanzibar resort, Luice was able to make arrangements to retrieve her earrings. Luice and his drivers were great companions
