It was incredible! They were friendly and very attentive with us.
Our expectations of the safari tour were overtaken! It was a perfect and very familiar trip. Very well prepared tour. Our guide Michael was always willing to show us all the animals we wanted to see, and he was satisfying us with everything we asked to do. He is really passionate with safaries and animals, and that motivated us even more. And our cook Godson has super good cooking skills and he was delighting us with delicious meals, and also being very friendly with us.
The safari tour was simply perfect. We would even like to repeat!

Out of the world experience!
The planning was hassle free though over email. Right from pick-up to drop off everything was well arranged and they went the extra mile to see no discomfort is experienced.
Out driver and guide had good knowledge of the park and good sense where game was or can be spotted. He was polite and helpful.
We got to see all animals in a matter of 3 days plus it was great weather (no rains in wet season- so lucky). This kind of destination requires someone like Shemeji to make it all worth it.

Great operator for our tanzanian experience.
We really enjoyed our safari! Everything was great including the communication with Shemeji.
From the beginning a driver was waiting outside the airport, the camps were clean, the staff very friendly and Edward was a great driver. He knows a lot about the parks so we had the best chance to see the big five.
Thank you for the perfect organisation! I am glad that we booked by Shemeji!

Excellent organization, everything smooth, no problems at all, highly recommended !
We were very happy with Shemeji, communication via email was quick and easy, everything went as planned, our guide/driver was a very nice young guy, he was patient with us and listened to what we aksed him for, he also apparently liked the animals and nature which was cool too.
We had no problems at all during the trips, the accommodation was also perfect, same with the food. Overall experience was just great. Thank you very much Shemeji team !

Fantastic experience
Very knowledgable guide and a good cook! Similar route to what most people do on a 4 day safari in that area. Luxus Camp on day 1 was a nice addition.

Perfect Safari!
We (two couples from Germany) booked the 6-day midrange tented lodge Safari with Shemeji Safari in early November 2019. The route was Tarangire (day 1), Lake Manyara (day 2), Serengeti (day 3-5) and Ngorongoro Crater (day 6) and it couldn’t have been better:
Already through the whole decision and booking process the Shemeji team replied to our emails quickly and answered all our questions comprehensively, which gave us a good feeling right from the start. Along with all the great reviews online this made the decision to book the Safari with Shemeji very easy for us.
During the six days of our trip we had a great time with our guide Andrew, who was very friendly, funny and patient, knows everything about the wildlife and has the eyes of an eagle to spot them. He was able to find any animal from incredibly far away and could answer all our many questions. We felt absolutely safe with Andrew who is a very good and experienced driver. Many other tour companies drove extremely fast and unsafe and we were wondering how they can spot anything like that. Andrew always found the best position to park our car so we had the best view on the animals and got many incredible pictures. Even the two of our group who had done a Safari before said that they never imagined to see so many animals in such a short time and so close.
We saw all the big five, most of them from a very short distance and more than once. Only the leopards were very well hidden in a tree and the rhinos were quite far away. But most animals were so close to the car that we could nearly have touched them: lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, gazelles, hippos, ostriches, hyenas, wildebeests, zebras ... many of them even had babies and we were able to watch lions eat a couple of times.
The accommodations were all very comfortable, clean and beautiful, and the staff was charming everywhere. We had a particularly good time in Asili Camps Serengeti where we were the only guests and the team really welcomed us and cared for us with exceptional warmth.
The breakfasts and dinners were delicious everywhere and even I as a vegetarian could always find a good choice.
The lunch boxes were ok, for our taste they contained a bit too much “dough” (bread, pancakes, cookies...) and too little fruit or vegetables, but when we asked the staff in the hotels they responded to our requests and put in more fresh stuff.
We can only recommend you to book your Safari with Shemeji and Andrew as your Guide - special thanks to him again for this awesome experience!

Amazing experience!
We had a great time during our stay in Tanzania.
They picked us up from the airport and took us to the hotel.
Michael picked us up next day to start the 6 day safari. It was amazing. Michael was our guide in Spanish, explained a lot of interesting things and he has a good eye to find animals.
We only have a little problem with car overheating but the agency arranged another truck to pick us up really quick.
Overall very satisfied with the safari tour :)

Great overall experience, trip of a lifetime.
Throughout the entire planning of this trip Emma at Shemeji was extremely responsive and tried to accommodate us with every request. Whether it was selecting the best options for accommodations, the itinerary of our trip or any extras that we wanted to consider she was responsive, informative and just overall a pleasure to deal with. Our guide himself, Michael, was very knowledgeable, friendly and enjoyable to spend five days with. I have nothing to say about Shemeji and would recommend them to anyone looking at doing a safari in Tanzania.

Amazing safari, well organised!
We had the best time on our 5 days safari tour with Shemeji. We went to Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The communication with Emma and the staff was easy and quick response. Very helpful and able to make last minute changes. Gerald was our driver/guide. He was very knowledgable, drove safely, we had a great time with him. He did his very best to find animals we wanted to see. We saw tons of animals, about 50 lions, big heirs of elephants, zebras, giraffes, hypos, worldebeasts, crocs, flamingos, etc. The accommodations were perfect. Nice big tents and lodge, well located. Food was good too, plenty food and water. The jeep was a little old but worked without problem, no air conditioning but didn't really need it. We had an amazing experience and would most definitively recommend it. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you to everyone at Shemeji, special thank you to Gerald!
