One of our best experiences so far
5/5

We really loved our time in safari with Shemeji. The communication was very easy with Emma before our trip.
During the safari we saw a lot of animals and we really liked our guide Adam who was very professional, knowledgeable and organized. He was also patient and always managed to get us close to the animals. We booked a group tour and therefore we were 4 people which was perfect; not too many not too little. The campsites are in good condition and our cook Godson made really delicious food. I am quite picky when it comes to food and therefore was happily surprised. On top of being a great cook he is a very kind and caring person. It felt like going home when we were coming back from game drive.
We had a great experience with Shemeji and will definitely book with them again!

Amazing experience & incredibly accommodating
5/5

Had a great experience with Emma organizing and booking the safari. She offered advice and suggestions during the process that were incredibly useful.

Emma also helped me out while I was away and my girlfriend was there (I had a passport issue and had to rebook). Once I explained the situation Emma was great at communicating what our options were and helped me out with a separate airport pickup and transportation to meet my girlfriend after the first day of safari. Really put my mind at ease knowing everything was handled while I was fixing up my passport and travelling later on. Her flight from Far was also delayed 5+ hours and they really came through to make it easy and as stress free as possible.

The safari itself was amazing. We got to see the big 5 and so many more awesome animals. Our guide Adam was great really knowledgeable and good at spotting game. Also good with turning the car off as we took pictures which helps a lot when zoomed in. He was also just a great guy really easy to spend 5 days in car with him lol

Also because of my rebooking and my girlfriend's late flight they also helped us book pour transportation to lushoto while we were on safari. The bus tickets were waiting for us at our hotel in Arusha.

Can't say enough good things. Everything was exceptional.

Absolutely amazing and beyond our expectations. Our guide Benny was so skillful and a great guy.
5/5

The service was five star in all the lodges we stayed in. Communication was excellent. The safari was beyond our expectations. We saw so many animals it was mind blowing. Even our guide Ben was pleased and said we saw some rare animals. Saw and photographed all big 5 including the elusive black rhino on our last day. Ben was so informative not just on the safari but on Tanzania in general. We couldn’t believe that he was driving and spotting animals that we had trouble seeing even when he pointed them out. First day in tarangire park, 52 elephants walked by our truck in a line all sizes. We were brought to tears it was so beautiful. Many giraffes, zebras and other animals. Serengeti was where we saw lions, leopards and cheetahs. Lots of gazelles and wilder beasts. It was the trip of a life time and we will never forget it. I whole heartedly recommend shemeji safaris and Benny for a guide.

Outstanding!
5/5

Choosing a safari company as a first-time experience can be daunting, especially if on a budget. Shemeji was recommended by a friend of a friend in Arusha and we’ve just returned from a stunning 7-day safari. Emma proposed a great itinerary and was also flexible to accommodate some requests we had. What really makes Shemeji stand out was the tour itself. Our guide, Fred, was wonderful. Not only was he very knowledgeable of the four parks we visited and their wildlife, but very personable and fun to be around. Each night while we ate dinner prepared by our excellent cook, Bruce, Fred would go over the following day’s activities with us. The pace and variety of the tour was perfect.

Trustworthy, well trained, very cooperative and kind people
5/5

Their service was wonderful! The major reason that I chose this company was that their response was unbelievably quick and tried every possible way to arrange all tours that we wanted in limited time! They were very cooperative, trustworthy and wcould enjoy our first time experience in Africa! We really appreciate it! We contacted many other companies but trust me, this company is the best!!! All the tours were also incredible! They were on time to come pick us up, we were never forced to wait for another guests, we were the only ones and had a lot of privacy so we could use time to ourselves as much as possible. When it comes to emergency, they were willing to help us. They called manager to double confirm that everything was okay. We could see how well each agent were trained! We were impressed! We were so amazed by their service as well as tour itself. We would def. recommend this company to especially people who have never been to Africa for safari tour. They will do everything for you and make sure you enjoy every moment from before to after the tour! Perfect! We thank you so much for making our experience in Tanzania memorable! Thank you Emma, Froukje, Adam, Frank and other agents who helped us to enjoy tours!

3-day private safari (Serengeti&Ngorongoro)
5/5

We got sound advice from Emma at Shemeji, and the tour included everything we wanted. Her response was always prompt. Our guide, Elemes spotted many animals, even they were far away. We were able to see all big five! There are a lot of tour operators, but we were very glad to choose Shemeji.

Everything was taken care of including airport transfers and hotel accommodation before and after our safari

The accommodation during the safari was great with lovely friendly staff who made our stay very enjoyable
If you’re thinking of going on safari just do it! And you won’t be disappointed if you choose Shemeje
