Frances is the BEST
We had Frances as our driver and he was the absolute best!!!! We feel extremely lucky to have had him as our guide. Within the first 3 days of our 9 day safari we saw the big 5. He also managed to have us watch the wildebeest crossing the Mara river after no sightings for 4 days. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and took our comfort and safety seriously. I’m not sure there is a better guide out there. Clearly well liked by all hotel staffs and others drivers. He is 10 stars. He navigated us to every animal we wanted to see, every scenario we could dream up and more. He left nothing unturned.
Response from the operator: Your excitement shines through every word, and we are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your nine–day safari. It is wonderful to know that Frances made such an extraordinary impact on your journey. His ability to combine deep knowledge, keen wildlife instincts, and genuine kindness is exactly what makes him such a valued member of our team. Seeing the Big Five within the first three days is already remarkable, and witnessing the Mara River crossing after several days without activity is a moment you will surely remember forever. We are glad Frances guided you through those experiences with such care and confidence. Thank you for sharing how safe, comfortable, and well looked after you felt throughout the trip. Your comments about his warm interactions with lodge teams and fellow drivers mean a great deal to us as well. We truly appreciate your ten–star praise. It is an honor to have been part of such a memorable adventure, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for even more incredible moments. Warm regards, The Gosheni Safaris Team

Fantastic Wildebeest Safari Experience w Gosheni
We traveled from Tarangerie to Serengeti to Ngorongoro for a 9 day safari. Given this was our first time we didn't know what to expect. George, our guide, was amazing at maximizing our experience through the trip. We were able to see all the animals we wanted to see including the Wildebeest river migration. His passion for animals and hospitality were visible from the start. Overall a wonderful trip from start to finish.
Response from the operator: It is exciting to hear how your first safari unfolded across Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. George will be so pleased to know that his passion for wildlife and thoughtful guiding helped you make the most of every day. Witnessing the wildebeest river migration on a first trip is something truly special, and we are glad he positioned you perfectly for such unforgettable moments. Your description of the journey from start to finish means a great deal to our team. We are thrilled your nine day adventure delivered everything you hoped for and more. Warm regards The Gosheni Safaris Team

Memorable safari holiday
We had a really lovely time during our safari tour going from Tarangire, Ngorongoro to Serengire. Our guide Calvin Laban was professional and accommodating, going the extra mile to adjust the schedule and amenities for us. He was really great with the details and would do things like get us wet wipes or Coke Zero even when we mentioned it casually. Even though it was the start of the wet season, our guide was great at spotting animals and ensuring that we saw cool sights of various cats and wildebeest migrations.
Response from the operator: Hi Che0ngtail! Thank you for sharing your memorable safari experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time exploring Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Calvin Laban will be thrilled to know how much you appreciated his professionalism and attentiveness. Going the extra mile to ensure every detail is taken care of is what we strive for, and it’s heartwarming to hear how he made your journey extra special with thoughtful touches like wet wipes and your favorite drinks. It’s also fantastic that, despite the start of the wet season, Calvin’s expertise ensured you didn’t miss out on incredible wildlife sightings, including the wildebeest migrations and various big cats. Thank you for choosing Gosheni Safaris to be a part of your adventure. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable safari in the future. Until then, wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with happiness and adventure!

One of a kind safari experience
We had an amazing safari tour going through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Even though it was the start of the wet season, we saw many animals thanks to our guides who were experienced, with a good eye. There were lots of lions, buffalo, herds of zebra and wildebeest. We even caught the chasing and a killing by a trio of cheetah. Our guide, Calvin was very knowledgeable, very engaging and accommodating. He went an extra effort to cater to our requests and we had a lot of fun.
Response from the operator: Hi Z1684HOleej! Thank you for sharing your incredible experience with us! We’re so glad to hear that your safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was one for the books, despite it being the start of the wet season. It’s amazing that you were able to witness so many incredible wildlife moments, including the cheetahs in action. Calvin is indeed a remarkable guide, and we’re delighted to know that his knowledge, attentiveness, and flexibility helped make your journey even more special. Going the extra mile to ensure your requests were met is something we take pride in, and it’s wonderful to hear that it added to your fun and enjoyment. We’re so grateful for your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable safari experience in the future. Wishing you a joyful holiday season!

Once in a lifetime experience with Gosheni
My wife and I have just finished a 9 day safari with Gosheni, beginning in Nairobi and ending in Arusha, seeing everything (Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire) along the way! From my initial inquiries Gosheni were so helpful, informative and caring (thanks Norah!). Our guide Fidelis was incredible. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, warm and fun. We saw all the animals because of Fidelis’ experience and expertise, and he took care of everything for us. If you’re thinking about booking a safari in Kenya or Tanzania, end the search now: go with Gosheni.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your amazing 9-day safari experience with us! We are thrilled that you and your wife enjoyed such a memorable journey through Kenya and Tanzania. It’s wonderful to hear that you were able to see so many incredible destinations—from Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara to the Ngorongoro Crater and beyond! A special thank you for recognizing Norah and Fidelis! We’re so proud to have them on our team. Fidelis’ knowledge, warmth, and ability to create unforgettable experiences are qualities we deeply value, and we’re delighted that he helped you see all the incredible wildlife along the way. We appreciate your heartfelt recommendation and are so glad you chose Gosheni for your safari adventure. It was our pleasure to be part of your journey, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future for more adventures. Have a good day ahead, I5958PNwilliamm!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $5,799 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure?
+
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 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure?
+
Around 5 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 Nairobi 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 Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure 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 Nairobi 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 Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. 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 Nairobi?
+
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 Nairobi?
+
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 9-Day Wonders of Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Cross-Border Adventure?
