Trustworthy, well trained, very cooperative and kind people
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!

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.

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!

Professional, tailor made, value for money
After elaborate research online and communications with several companies, we booked a 5 day safari in Tanzania, visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days) and Ngorongoro with Shemeji. We are a couple in our end twenties and were looking for the full safari experience, but do not need all kinds of luxury; in that sense we wanted to save our money on that front. However: although we felt we booked a rather cheap 5 day safari and were expecting relatively simple accommodation, we staid in great accommodations that really felt like bang for our buck. In that sense I think Shemeji totally overdelivered, which is great.
Our guide Elli was experienced (both in driving and in finding all the things you want to see; flexible (he gave us all the freedom to get up really early and continue for long hours if that was what we wanted); and just a very relaxed guy to travel around with for 5 days.
The accommodations were very nice: it feels like there has been a solid selection of accommodations that are up to Shemeji's standards. The service levels were very high at all the accommodations we staid (Nsya lodge, Eileens Trees, Osupuko tented lodge, Rhino Lodge).
Communications beforehand with Emma were fast, clear and to the point. She was also kind enough to provide us with advise when we asked for some pointers on where to stay in Arusha.
Conclusion: great experience. You might be able to get something like the same experience for less money if you shop around in Arusha, but we are glad that we booked with Shemeji and had 0 hassle and everything we wanted!

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!!
