100% recomendable!
We booked the 5 day safari (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and it was simply spectacular.
The guide (Elemes) was very correct, the vehicle was in optimal condition and the accommodations, one better than the other.

Perfect communication and experience
We spent 5 days in Arusha, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro (which was amazing) with Ben from Shemeji and it could not have been better. Not only did Ben make sure we saw everything we wanted to see, he was patient, funny, organized, friendly, and made the trip enjoyable. On the other hand, communication with Emma when planning the trip was also perfect. She was helpful, nice, organized, and responded to emails quickly. We tailored many parts of the trip and nothing was a problem for her to adjust, even with last minute changes due to problems with our flights. I will definitely contact Emma and Shemeji next time we’re back in Tanzania.

The best safari in our life thanks to Ben Shegesh, Festo Bedard Mgassa and Shemeji!
This is a review of a private five-day safari organized by Shemeji for two people from 8 to 12 September 2018.
Ben Shegesha - it was an honor for us that Beni was our guide and driver. We will remember until the end of our lives:
• his smile for every moment and every day
• he could point out animals difficult to find even through binoculars
• beautiful pictures that he did to us
• his extensive knowledge of wild animals, national parks
• excellent parking ability to give the best perspective for taking photos
• he knew how to talk to the local police, so that he would not delay the safari
• he is very wise and intelligent man with a great potential for every professional opportunity
• perfect time management
• strong engagement from morning to evening
• there was a camp on the side of the mountain and only one flatter place, and there Beni set up a tent
• very good driver who cares about safety
• we felt all the time that he cares about us
• he helps other guides so he could count on their help
• he can repair the car
• very good english
Festo Bedard Mgassa
• he prepared a lot of tasty and with great variety food at camp conditions
• friendly
• he organized big bags to protect our luggage from dust on safari
Shemeji
• we were two of us, and we had a car for seven people, it did not break even though the roads destroy cars on safari
• they agreed to take us to the Kilimanjaro airport without additional payment
• we had clean sleeping bags and a nice tent
• we were sorry that we did not have the opportunity to meet Emma personally (the owner of Shemeji)
Safari depends on:
• the guide is the most important
• be lucky to meet animals and a guide to see them
• the car should be spacious and well cared for because the failure is a big waste of time
• to have a good cook if you like a good food
• the tour operator must have the best recommendations in the Trip Advisor and Safaribookings, because they are looking for clients through this portals, and are doing their best to get a best opinion there
• tour operator must have a long feedback history on the Trip Advisor and Safaribookings, because if you pay them for safari in advance and they do not organize it, you will lose your money

Amazing trip of a lifetime
In October 2018 we went on a trip of our lifetime. We had decided on an 8 day Safari with Shemeji. It turned out even better than we could have ever dreamed. Our guide and driver Adam picked us up in Arusha and off we went on an unforgettable journey. Lake Manyara, Tarangire Nat'Pk, Ngorongoro Crater, Empakaai Crater, Central Serengeti and Lake Natron. Every bit unforgettable, we saw the Big 5, and Leopards in the trees and Cheetahs on the prowl only a few meters from our 4x4 and lots more and all due to Adam's excellent scouting, patience and never tiring enthusiasm. His knowledge and passion made every second special. We also like to mention that in the evenings when we retired to our cool drinks Adam went off to clean and maintain the car for the next day's adventure. We could not have asked for a better guide, driver and companion.
Shemeji is a great tour operator and we only have positive things to say. They are always quick in response and happy to help. A left behind jumper turns up magically on the last day. And the fact that part of their profit goes toward supporting Masai girls' education is a wonderful gesture. Thank you Adam, thank you Anna and thanks to you all at Shemeji

When I go back to Tanzania again, it will be only Emma from Shemeji and no one else I would trust!
When I first started searching for a dependable tour company in Tanzania for our upcoming trip in November 2018, I found many of these companies are based overseas and the quotes were ridiculously high. Then I found Emma from Shemeji Safari who offered us a very reasonable pricing. I worked with Emma for over 6 months and I found her very reasonable. She is practical but flexible. And above all, she holds high integrity and honesty. I never looked back. In Tanzania, she fixed us up with her dependable driver Edie for the safari tours. During an emergency situation, the help I have received in Tanzania from Emma and Eddie, I will never forget in life. Needless to say, for any of my future trips to Tanzania, it would be Emma and Edie from Shemeji Tours and no one else.

Once in a lifetime experience with Shemeji!
We really enjoyed our safari trip with Shemeji. Booking procedure was easy and with a strong customer focus. So we also added a airport pickup which was even cheaper than our hostels offer. The safari itself was awesome! Guide and cook were really nice guys and made it a very nice experience. Everything was organized very well but still had a very personell touch. Seen so many animals that the fourth day nearly got boring :-) We can absolutly recommend Shemeji!

Fantastic 7-day safari of the northern parks in Tanzania
I can't fault any aspect of Shemeji Safari; from initial enquiry to the tour itself, everything was easy and they made sure we had a great time. With no prior knowledge of the area or what to see, we were guided at every step with the team's expert knowledge. Our driver and chef during the week were fantastic; nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommended!

Perfect 5 days midrange tenteg-lodge safari!
The 5 days tour is perfect to enjoy the great wildlife of Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara , Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater.
We spotted a lot of animals, including more than 30 lions!
All lodges and tents were perfect. Our driver/guide Adam was very professional and kind.
In short: everything was very good organized and we had a great safari!
