Fantastic experience in Tanzania
We spent 10 days in 4 locations and each camp was wonderful. Our guide was Francis and he was exceptional. It’s clear that he is working his passion. He seemed to know just where the game was and how long to be patient. We saw an amazing wildebeest crossing as well as a close encounter with elephants on our very first day. Francis is also totally focused on the client’s every need. We felt so pampered. And he is totally fun! Camps were much nicer than expected and the food was great. Hot lunches and beer/wine every lunch. I understand why Gosheni gets great reviews.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, sandrasM4718PO! We're thrilled to hear that your 10-day safari was such an incredible experience, and that Francis made it even more special with his passion, expertise, and client-first approach. It’s wonderful that you were able to witness such unforgettable moments, from the wildebeest crossing to close encounters with elephants—what a way to start your adventure! We’re also glad that the camps exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the food, hot lunches, and refreshing drinks during your trip. Your kind words about Gosheni mean the world to us, and we’re so pleased that we could make your journey as memorable and enjoyable as it was. We would love to welcome you back for more amazing experiences in the future. Until then, safe travels, and thank you again for sharing your story!

A very pleasant surprise and perfect Safari
We came to Tanzania at the end of the rainy season in May. The guide who received us was Calvin Kileo. He is a very professional guide. During the ten-day Safari, he took us to find many animals every day. He not only took us to find the Big Five in Africa, but also showed us many birds and reptiles. He has a rich knowledge of animals and a very kind attitude. He takes good care of us in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He is very gentle and has good driving skills and a strong learning ability. I only need to teach him the Chinese names of many animals once and he can learn them. He always responds to our requests and brings us many surprises! Chinese friends can come to him. He is a very good guide. Remi, the chef at the Gosheni Center, is also very professional and cooks very delicious food. The vegetables are very tasty and the soup is also delicious! I like it very much!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with Gosheni Safaris, O6330XRwangl! We are glad you had a wonderful time during your ten-day safari with us! We are especially grateful for your kind words about Calvin. We are delighted that Calvin's professionalism and rich knowledge of animals, along with his kind and attentive attitude, made your safari experience exceptional. It's great to hear that he took good care of you in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and that he impressed you with his gentle demeanor, good driving skills, and quick learning ability. We are glad that he was responsive to your requests and brought you many surprises throughout your journey. We appreciate your recommendation of Calvin to Chinese friends as a very good guide. We will certainly pass along your compliments to him. We are also pleased that Remi provided you with delicious food. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the tasty vegetables and delicious soup! Thank you once again for choosing Gosheni Safaris. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future!

Gosheni is tops
We just completed a terrific week with Edward as our driver-guide. Did the Tanzania northern circuit (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti). Gosheni did a superb job of putting our itinerary together, then bringing it to fruition. With stays at three different lodges, everything went off without a hitch, and we met all our sighting/photo goals and then some. Edward was extremely knowledgeable and a great companion for the week. He was very patient with our countless questions! Thanks to Herman and the team at Gosheni. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Dear Ronald, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with Gosheni Safaris. We are delighted to hear that you had such a terrific week exploring Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti together create one of the most rewarding safari routes in Africa, and we are pleased that the itinerary worked smoothly and allowed you to achieve all your wildlife sightings and photography goals. Careful planning and reliable logistics are very important to us, so it is wonderful to hear that everything ran seamlessly throughout your journey. Your kind words about Edward mean a lot. He is a very experienced guide, and his deep knowledge of wildlife and the parks, along with his patience and positive attitude, are qualities that make him a fantastic companion on safari. We will be very proud to share your compliments with him. We also appreciate your recognition of Herman and the Gosheni team who worked behind the scenes to organize your safari. As a locally owned and operated Tanzanian company, we take great pride in planning safaris carefully and delivering them with our professional guides and well-maintained fleet of Land Cruiser vehicles. Thank you again for choosing Gosheni Safaris and for recommending us. It was our pleasure to host you in Tanzania, and we hope to welcome you back to Africa again in the future.

Wonderful safari through the South of Tanzania
We came to Gosheni Safaris through internet research not knowing they are the Award Winning and Leading Tour Operator of Tanzania in 2021. We were on a 11 days, 10 nights safari through the South of Tanzania guided by the the wonderful Fidelis, an experienced and thoughtful guide for a perfect safari tour. After finishing the safari we can only confirm that Gosheni Safaris, presented by Fidelis and team, were the right choice! The safari was customized to all we wanted to see and organized very well, considering we booked only few days in advance (thanks to Pendo in the Gosheni Office!)! Fidelis introduced us to the wildlife in the South of Tanzania with a lot of background information and a very good eye for the hidden animals in the distance! Even though it was very dry and a difficult situation for most of the animals, he showed us neraly every animal living in Mikumi/Ruaha/Nyere. With his experience and the respectful and peaceful way to treat the wilderness he made our game drives a wonderful tour! The accomodation was well chosen, Fidelis organized cool drinks for us to survive the heat and adapted to the tour daily to our needs and wishes. For the next trip to Tanzania we will not have to make an effort to find the right tour operator, we will simply call Gosheni Safaris, because it was a blast to travel with you. Thanks again to Gosheni and especially to Fidelis! Asante sana!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $4,538 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience take?
+
Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dar es Salaam is not rushed.
Is 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dar es Salaam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dar es Salaam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dar es Salaam?
+
On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dar es Salaam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dar es Salaam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience?
+
Included: Bottled water; Airport pickup and drop-off; All accommodation except on the last day; Driver/guide; and Lunch. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Gratuities; and Flight from Kilimanjaro to Serengeti North. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 8 listed pickup locations in and around Dar es Salaam. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 10 Days Mikumi Ruaha Selous Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
