3-day Budget safari
4/5

Booked a 3-day Budget Group Safari (in tents) with Shika based on some online reviews. While we experienced a bumpy start with quite a delay – mostly due to other customers not showing up to the trip – once we were rolling, things went totally fine. We ended up having a private safari after all, the drivers were well-informed and showed us some great animal spots, lots of game, the Big Five and colourful birds. Those three parks – Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro – are just unique places. The nights were spent in a simple but clean, friendly and safe Tent Lodge in Mto Wa Mbu, called Fanaka, with good food. Shika is a small, young, African-owned company that competes with big, mostly Establishment-/American-/European owned travel agencies and while honestly not everything went smooth, after all we had a great experience, got a really great value for our money and the guys are nice and try everything to make you feel good.

Amazing 4 day safari!!
5/5

We booked a 4 day safari with shika tours and it was fantastic!
We got a lot of help with the booking and organisation and
everything went fast and easy. Our driver and guide was very
informed about the parks and the nature and could explain us
a lot. We travelled in a group of five together with three tourists
from Japan. On our tour through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and
Serengeti Nationalpark we have seen more animals than we
could ever have imagined!! We can just highly recommend this
safari tour! Thumbs up for shika tours :)

Perfect
5/5

is a local travel agency. Manase treated us very well, we were very lucky to contact him because the prices of the Spanish agencies were quite higher and he organized us an ascent to Kilimanjaro that was perfect and a small three-day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro that was incredible. Gorgeous hotels and wonderful people. A success! If you have a dream to Africa? Then book with Shika Tours and Safaris

We booked our Kilimanjaro Climb and Safari with Shika Tours and Safaris, everything was well arranged from the first approach to the date Of arrival, Manase the owner of the company came to pick us up from the Airport to the Hotel in Moshi, this guy is a such a wonderful man very helpful and supportive as well, he gave us all the information we wanted for Kili Climb and even convinced as to take a safari after the climb.

The Team was so helpful and very knowledgeable about the country and all the activities they offering.

Our mountain guide and Safari guides both ware so amazing and very knowledgeable as well.

We really recommend Shika Tours and Safaris this is the best Company to choose.

THE BEST TRIP WITH SHIKA TOURS AND SAFARIS
5/5

This was one of the best Trip in our life, me and my friends did a 8 days Kili Climb with Shika Tours, Manase (the owner) was so kind and he help us with making this trip to be one of the best, He gave us the best information and lots of options to choose from, he also convinced us to book a 3 days Safari to Tarangire , Lake Manara and Ngorongoro after the climb.

The Team from this company is very knowledgeable and with full experience about Kilimanjaro and also the Safari.
Onesmo our mountain guide together with his team of cook and Porters did an amazing job to make sure that we reached at the Top of Kilimanjaro.

The safari was well organized, our driver guide Mr. Fred was a nice guide and he had lots of information about the park and the animals as well, we were promised to see the big five and for sure we did, Manase has a team of dedicated people who work together to make sure that each client gets 100% of what he/she enquired.

I really appreciate the great job they did and recommend this company

Excellent
5/5

We enjoyed a 2 days safari with Shika. They are well organized starting from the pickup ending by exploring the animals. First day started by a brief description in Zanzibar followed by a Flight to Selous. When arrived to Selous we took our room in the camp. Room was OK. Since we are in the jungle we cannot have more than this confortable room. They we did a village visit and a boat trip Second day was a full day safari for 8 hours. We saw all the animals in the jungle. We had an excellent guide. The food wasn’t so good. A lot of mosquitoes and insects. But again it’s normal for the jungle. The price was a little bit expensive for us but it’s Ok since we have an air transfer. Thank you for this trip

The review below is the personal opinion of HH and not that of SafariBookings.
Terrible, tour cancelled and no money refunded
1/5

I booked a safari with Levi from shika through viator. He proceeded to cancel to the tour and asked me to book directly through himself. 2 weeks from the trip he cancelled the safari claiming that the price he had charged us would not be financially viable for his company. Over the last few months he has made many excuses regarding why a refund has not been provided and eventually not replying to any messages/emails.

Do not book with these guys, there are many other tour groups for safari.
