Great Tour with Wonderful Driver/Tour Guide
First off, the communication between Shemeji Safari was smooth and fast. Emma helped a lot when we were having questions about the tour as well as booking it. The driver/tour guide we had was Andrew, and he was amazing! He had great eyes for the animals during our safari and very knowledgeable about both the animals and the Massai culture. The car was clean, tidy and sturdy. They provided plenty of water, and the lunchboxes were filling too. To conclude, everything was wonderful. 10/10 recommend.

Perfect introduction to Tanzania.
Shemeji provided us with prompt and professional services right from my initial contact. Emma met and catered for all of our needs and planned a safari to suit.
Our driver David, was punctual and knowledgeable. Although some days required a lot driving between destinations David provided us with an insight to the local culture and lifestyle. The accommodation provided for us was excellent, all food was good and all had fantastic views. Properties can be viewed on Shemejis 5 day luxury safari brochure.

The BEST experience of our lives
Shemeji organised the perfect Safari for me and my wife, we went on a 5 day Safari: Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. First all the booking, payments, doubts, communication, you know, all that prior-to-travel process, was fantastic. Emma was very helpful, she was always answering very fast, we wanted to have different quotes and she did all for us, and we think we paid a really good price for what we got. The payment was particularly easy because of their Dutch bank account.
Then once we arrived, everything happened as Emma told us before hand, they picked us up at the airport, the accommodation was ready, everyone was nice and helpful, always with a big smile and happy to answer all your questions. then the safari, ADAM was really good guide, a lot of experience and a great spotter! He knew which animals he was seeing no matter how far they were, you can ask him anything, he will answer. Adam is a great guide. The car was comfortable and clean all the time, we never lacked of food nor water. Definitely Adam helped us make this trip unforgettable.
We stayed in Kirurumo Manyara, Serena Serengeti and Serena Ngorongoro. Shemeji sorted all the bookings and we did not have any problems, they were waiting for us. If you are planning to go near Manyara, Kirurumo tented lodge is a FANTASTIC place, our favourite hotel from the three.
If you are planning to go to Tanzania, I have no doubt that Shemeji is the best option. We saw all big 5, plus many more, including baby animals. Thanks again Shemeji! totally recommended.

Excellent service all the way
Shemeji Safari did a fantastic job arranging a safari for me and my family.
Rigth from the beginning the communications on email was outstanding. I ordered a quote on a safari (3 day trip) and they understood my needs right away. They suggested alternatives and it was easy to talk details and get the planning finalized.
We were picked up in Kilimanjaro Airport as planned and on time. We had a night in Arusha before going on safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All the way we stayed at nice hotels (Serena Lodges), and they were even better than I had imagined. The view over Ngorongoro from over room was spectacular and so was staying in the middle of Serengeti in our own big bungalow.
Our safari driver, Edward, was very professional, considerate and nice to be around. We travelled with our 4 year old and he was very good at driving slowly giving her time to see everything. His knowledge about the wildlife was impressing and he could answer all our questions about aminals ets. We saw all the interesting animals on our trip - a lot of lions - and even rhinos from a distance in Ngorongoro.
All in all we feel that we have gotten a superb product and service from Shemeji - and for a really reasonable price. We feel we got excellent value for our money.
If you are looking for a place to buy your safari in Tanzania - don't hesitate to use Shemeji. They have my warmest recommendations.

Amazing safari! Great quality and good price
We just got back from our 5 days safari with Shemeji and I'd like to say that it was AMAZING! Since looking for the options according to our budget, Emma was always very helpful and efficient in her response and information. As well because their prices are more reasonable than others. When we arrived the driver was already waiting for us at Kilimanjaro airport and he was on time for our ride back to the airport as well. Our guide during the safari was Adam, he was great! Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He always responded to our many questions about wildlife, the parks, etc and had a great eye to spot the animals! We saw the big 5 with him! He would also go out of the way for us to snap a picture or if we wanted to stay longer looking at the wildlife. Thanks Adam!!
The car seemed almost new and very comfortable inside (we saw other company's car and they looked older and not that comfy xD). The food always was delicious at the lodges and the take away lunch. Thanks for everything Shemeji! You made our safari the most amazing experience for us and we will definitely get in touch again in a few years when we go back! :D

Amazing
We knew it was low and rain season, but we took the chance and went anyway, and it ended up with a great/lucky weather. Leaving weather aside, the safari was great!! We had an amazing time everywhere we went, great hospitality on the camps and Serena Lodge with an amazing view. Adam was a great guide, we learned a lot from him, and he had lot of patience when we wanted to stop and see something... in resume an amazing experience! Emma (the owner) very nice person, making everything to make our honeymoon experience the best ever. Thaks a lot Shemeji for an awesome Safari!
The trip of a lifetime!
Together with my partner we just got back from a safari with Shemeji in Tanzania.
It was our first, but definitely not last, safari adventure and it couldn't be better! All credit goes to Shemeji.
All communication before departure was well handled and everything was clearly explained to us.
We were picked up from Arusha by Edward, the best driver/animal spotter and Godson who makes the best pancakes ever! This guys looked after us, made sure we were happy and thanx to them our first safari was unforgettable.
Our trip was a 5 days camping safari. Sleeping in a tent was actually more fun than I thought, especially listing to the lions and hyenas. The washing facilities at campsites were basic, but honestly it didn't bother me at all. It was all part of our wild adventur.
We travelled through 4 national parks:
Tarangire, a mixture of landscape and lots of different animals, including leopard!
Manyara, we actually saw a lion on a tree! Ngorongoro, this place is magical at dawn! and to spot a rhino was amazing!!!
But if I had to choose my favourite it would have to be Serengeti! Those plains are out of this world. A place where your eyes can travel as far as the horizon without any interruption, just vast open plains. In our overconstructed world it really felt special. Add to that the wildlife, huge male lions lying right next to the road not being bothered by your presence, it's simply priceless.
Edward made sure to tick all animals on our spotting wishlist, the big 5, including a leopard on a tree devouring a zebra. Plus some extra, a cheetah with cubs, just born baby Impala still struggling on his feet some really cute owls, the list goes on...
When Shemeji asked me if our safari was as we've expected I said no, it was way better!
Going on a safari in Africa, especially for the first time, you might be a bit nervous, you want to make sure that the company you go with is reliable and that you will be in safe hands. We definitely got all that with Shemeji and much more in fact, we got a trip of our lifetime! At least until our next safari ;-)
Thank you Shemeji!

Amazing experience in Tanzania Safari + Zanzibar relaxing time with Shemeji Safari Tanzania
We had a 5 days safari (4 nights) departing from Arusha and arriving to Moshi (Weru Weru River Lodge). We stood there one night in order to see Kilimanjaro mountain and then we flew to Zanzibar spending 2 days in a resort, and the last day in a tour in Stone Town (the home of Freddie Mercury).
All the organization was arranged by Shemeji, first with Anna and then with Emma. Everything was almost perfect. Emma took care of everything, planning, transfers, flight from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, hotels, resorts and camping. Everything worked perfectly; Anna and Emma were 100% very professional. If you follow the pre departure instructions sent by Emma, for sure you will enjoy your trip.
Related with the safari, it was super. The guide, Adam, and the cooker, Isaac, were great. We could see almost all the animals thanks the great experience of Adam, and all the food prepared by Isaac was also great. My wife and I were very thankful to meet and spend 5 days with great people like Adam or Isaac.
Also related with the safari, we decided to go to camping. We were in 3 different camping and I have to say they are ok for the kind of camping we decided to do. So, if you prefer camping instead of lodge you don’t have to worry.
In Zanzibar we went to a resort in the south east of the island. At this season there were no sand in the beach, so if you are planning to go before Jun you should request a resort on the north of the island. That was the only thing that was not perfect.
Also in Zanzibar we had a guided tour in Stone town. It was a very nice tour, and if you want to know more about the Stone town history, I would recommend you doing a guided tour.
Thank you for Shemeji and his team to allow us to have this incredible experience. Anna, Emma, Adam and Isaac, hope to see you again one day… and for sure I will recommend Shemeji to my friends and colleagues.
