3-day Budget safari
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.

Up to the summit of Mt. Meru
We booked our hiking tour the evening before we started. Nevetheless everything was well prepared, the meals and the service was good and the transfer to and from Mt. Meru appeared without problems. Our guide was very friendly and helped us whereever we needed help.
All in all a good organised trip for a fair price.

Overall Good Budget Safari Expierence
We booked our very short budget safari with Shika and they offer a great price / value proposition. We hit a few organizational snags while we there, which were all solved adequately and can only be partly attributed to Shika. We had a whole Land Cruiser to ourselves (awesome) and Sam was a good/safe driver and did a great job with the limited time we had.
Overall we had a good time and were satisfied with booking and the experience.
Tip for other travelers: plan in three full days, we attempted to do it in two (half manyara, full ngorongoro crater, half tarangire) and it was not enough time to fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery.
