5 Days Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro
Overall a good Safari. Everything worked out well, but I would qualify the guide as just OK. Having been on other Safaris I can't overstate the difference that a great guide makes. Separating the rating by item, I would say:
Ease of Dealing with the Company: 5*
Accommodation: 5*
Vehicle: 5*
Guide: 3*

Outstanding!
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.

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

Amazing experience & incredibly accommodating
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.

One of our best experiences so far
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!

Professional, helpful, friendly and bespoken to the client!
Last August me and my husband booked an 8 day private safari of Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Lake Natron and Ngorongoro crater and it exceeded all of our expectations.
With Shemeji we got the professional service we were looking for. The communication with Emma was always friendly, helpful and uncomplicated. Thank you!
We indeed wondered that we did not get the guide we expected. It turned out to be perfekt for us. We were very lucky with our safari guide Edward, a very kind and helpful person with enormous knowledge oft the fauna and flora in the parks. He always tried to satisfy us and makes us feel very comfortable. We travelled just with him and the wonderful cook Pius, no other clients in the car but ourselfs, witch was the best thing for us, because we wanted to take a lot of pictures witch takes time.
To mention our cook Pius, who travelled with us and surprised us every single day with all this delicious food – unbelivable how he performed this magical meal in the middle of nowhere. It was amazing and great at the same time...thank you so much for that Pius...
Edward never brought us in a hurry and was very passioned when we once again needed a lot of time watching all these wonderful animal and spectakular landscapes..he found us the lepards laying on trees and even a python without any binoculars...I even searched it when I was directly in front.
Well, we never planned to see the „Big Five“, because we are just as interested in any african animal, like all the beautiful birds, the anthilopes and even the butterflies. But nevertheless Edward has shown us all the big ones, too. And some moments we even did not know where to look, because there were interesting animals everywhere.
It was a great time and we will honestly never forget it.
Thank you very much Edward for a wonderful and unbelievable journey!

Incredible! Trip of a lifetime. Omari was an incredible guide. Perfect.
Excellent. Omari was the best. He knew where animals were, found them quickly, took great care of us and was very kind. The tour couldn’t have been better. Great accommodations, and I never thought I’d see so many animals! I can’t recommend this tour enough. Tanzania was perfect and in October we found ourselves right in the middle of the wildebeest migration.

WOW! Great Company for an unforgettable Safari!
We had an unforgettable 5 day Safari (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) with Shemeji! The communication was from the beginning very easy and straight forward. Everything turned out as promised and booked. The value for money was Top! Accommodations, car and the guide were great. Our guide was very experienced and had a great knowledge about the parks and the animals. He knew where to go without only following other cars and groups. So we had many magical moments just for us without too many people around and a special vibe for the whole Safari. We also were very flexible in arranging the days (getting up very early) and in the animals we wanted to focus on.
We just can recommend Shemeji at all - no wrong promises, great value for money and very easy going!
