Our first ever safari…. When can we go back!!
We have nothing to compare it to as it was our first. But we had an amazing time and experience. Emma at Shemeji was quick and took time to respond to our numerous silly questions, and the reply’s were always prompt. Largely gave us a tailored experience to our needs. The price we thought was fair and good value, it was in our budget, others didn’t seem to incorporate as much as our experience did, yet cost much more.
The choice of lodges the company uses are outstanding. Some the lodge itself made the experience, but I know 2 of the lodges we stayed at, were not only amazing, but the staff at the lodges really made that part of the experience stand out, in as much of our memories as the animals. Meeting the local people, being shown their hospitality and service they provided, and the warmth and friendship they showed us, gave a lasting memory.
Now the safari itself. I never think on topics like this its good for people to compare experiences, however, if I must, yes we saw the big 5! I think we just about saw everything. I cant think of an animal we didn’t see. Some were incredibly close, some quite far. Its wildlife, you cant plan it. As a young couple we loved our 5 day safari, in fact if anything we should of done 6 days so we would have had longer in Serengeti. I loved this holiday. I highly recommend firstly a safari, and secondly using Shemeji. The only down side we have, is now having to pick the best photos out of thousands of great photos to post on FB!

Wonderful 7 day Safari
We had a wonderful 7 day safari private tour with Shemeji Safari. Everything exceeded our expectations. We were on a budget, but luxury-on-a budget is what we got. Our guide Edward was excellent, he suited our easy going style and made us feel like family. The food and accommodation was exceptional and we loved the hut and tented accommodation. All the arrangements appeared seamless to us, but we know that this is because of all the hard work that goes on from the start so a special thanks to Emma.

Just perfect :)
A friend and myself did a 5 day safari including tarangire, lake manyara, serengeti and the ngorongoro crater.
What to say...it was just perfect :)
I cannot recommend this company enough.
From the first step to the safari itself, it all went great.
Special thanks to Emma for all the assistence prior to the safari, to Edward for the excellent and funny guiding and to Godson for the best food along the way.
Thumps up!!

Amazing 4 day safari
For us it was once in a lifetime experience, and thanks to shemeji it was everything we expected.
Fisrt of all, the communication via email and whatsapp was great. Always fast replies from emma. The payment can be done via paypal, that was great for us.
Once we arrrived to arusha, the driver was waiting for us to take us to green mountain hotel. The next day, our guide Ben was very punctual to pick us up. We did a 4 day safari, going to tarangire, serengeti and ngorongoro crater. They are all really amazing and Ben was an incredible guide.
100% recommendable.

Amazing 9 Day Trip with Adam and Shemeji
This Safari went over and above our expectations. Emma did a great job sorting the trip out, from start to finish and was very prompt at returning my emails. Adam our driver and guide was excellent! Very professional, friendly and super accommodating. With 10 years experience and still a great passion for nature and wildlife you couldn't ask for any better. The camps we stayed in along the way were great, the service and food was top notch! We are already trying to decide when we can come back and do more, and we will defiantly be using Shemeji Safari and Tours again.
Perfect organization, very nice and qualified guiding crew.
From the first steps of planning up to the last transport to the hotel at the end,everything was perfectly organized by Emma and her crew. With Omari we had a very qualified and friendly guide and driver and Pius was Mr.Delicious cook. Thank you all for this wonderful experience we will never forget!

A trip of a lifetime
We had an amazing 2 weeks in Tanzania thanks to Shemeji and their staff. From being greeted at the airport upon our arrival by Frank in Mt. Kilimanjaro to getting dropped off 2 weeks later in Zanzibar, we had full confidence in Shemeji.
- Emma was very accommodating during the booking process, we had a hundred questions since this was our first safari trip and she promptly answered every one. She also had no problem adapting the itinerary to our personal needs(including last minute flight changes). After everything was figured out, we couldn't believe how good of a deal the trip was.
- Edward is an incredible driver, and the best tour guide. He knows all the parks like the back of his hand and will find whatever animal you're looking for. He's also very knowledgeable about whatever you see -- birds, mammals, plants, etc. If he doesn't know what you spotted he'll eagerly look it up in a book to learn about it. He's also kind, funny and helpful. Which are all important since you'll be spending a lot of time with this person over the course of your trip.
- Godson is an amazing chef and fed us incredible vegan food every day for 3 meals a day. Having a dietary restriction had us a little concerned about a trip like this. But Godson had no problem with our vegan diet. He made delicious meals every day. Our only "problem" was that there was too much food. We were full at every meal. That was not what we expected from this trip and we loved it. He's also a sweet person and made for great company on the trip as well.
- Our accommodations were all great. From the campgrounds, to hotels and lodges. It was quite a sampling of different areas and types of places to stay in Tanzania.
We wandered Arusha, swam with dolphins in the Indian Ocean, got woken up by hyenas, and saw about 70 lions on safari(along with cheetahs, leopards, elephants and everything else we wanted to see!) while visiting 5 national parks and conservation areas.
Thanks Shemeji!

Best experience EVER!
We have had a wonderful safari experience, from the booking process to the actual safari. Emma handled the booking process link a champ with regular and professional communication and our driver Freddy was very friendly, a very good driver and full of knowledge.
Our 6-day safari (shared with 2 other people) was a truly magical experience. Highly recommended!
