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!

Outstanding experience that leaves the mark thanks to this great company
The safari has exceeded our expectations.
Already from the beginning, the company has come to meet every need by creating an ad hoc holiday tailored for us.
They have always been very kind and helpful, and most importantly they had a great, well-prepared guide (Edward) who has always been able to answer any of our questions and made us live the wildlife and flora of these places in an extraordinary way.
Even the chef excellent, difficult to follow the tastes of us European, yet he has succeeded us completely.

Awesome
We did a six days safari tour with Shemeji Safari Tours. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, 3 days Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. We had such a great time with our guide Ben and cook Pius!! At our safari we have seen a lot of different animals, Ben told us that we were very lucky. Ben is very enthousiatic and very experienced. We never felt unsafe! Pius was a very awesome cook, we ate very good meals. He made even a pineapple fritter in the Serengeti. Beside the safari we also arranged some day trips around Arusha and they planned our trip to Zanzibar. Everything was so good! Also the communication with Emma was very fast and good. We would recommand Shemeji Safari Tours to everyone

Engagement Safari dream
We did a 5 day safari one week ago with Shemeji Safari & Tours and it was just fantastic, we left with memories and stars in our eyes that will stay with us for the rest of our life. Big thank you to Emma who organised our trip, she was very helpful, quick to respond to any of our queries and help me organised for my big day. Elemes, our guide, was fantastic, he did deliver high class speedy safari (others were following us to see the animals). And even though his favourite letmotiv "Nothing is promised!", we left with more than we bargained for. So once again big thank you for the service provided, time spent and memories given.

Highly recommended
I can wholeheartedly recommend Shemeji. We had a great experience with them from the first email contact, through to booking, arrival and the Safari itself. All very professionally handled. We loved the trip: 6 day Safari for me and my husband, shared with two other people in a car. Our driver and guide Freddy was friendly, professional and helpful at all times, and also a very good driver.

Great safari experience, good value for money
We chose to do our safari with Shimeji after comparing programs and costs from several operators and we were very happy with our choice. We had a fabulous time and the whole experience was amazing. We were travelling with three kids (5, 3 and 1) and the guides (Moses and Adam) were patient and did everything possible to make sure the little ones had a good time. Communication prior to the teip was very good. Emma, from the office, was very responsive and opened to fine tune the trip to accomodate our needs and interests. Payment was also smooth and easy, by transfer to Shimeji's Dutch account ineuros (we are based in France).
An exciting and very professional safari
Our safari was great. We enjoyed it a lot and had a really great time with our guide and our cook. We really appreciated their work. They were very friendly, very helpfull and very professional. The guide always knew where to look for the animals and the food war very good. We were very satisfied with our trip. We travelled with two children and they had a great time, too.

Fantastic organisation and staff
Our Safari was super organized according to our wishes and the schedule was each time willingly adapted to new ideas. Emma was of great assistance in getting this trip organized, gave very helpful advices, ideas and recommendations and worked out a fantastic trip for me and my 8 year old son. The safari was very diverse as we visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron and also had the opportunity to do a bit of hiking in Arusha and Lake Natron. This safari met all our expectations and became a very special experience to both of us. The whole safari was very well organized, the jeep was well maintained and drove us 7 days through the wilderness without any breakdowns, the tents and camping gear were all just fine as well as the campsites we stayed on. A special compliment and thank you goes to José our driver and guide and Pius our cook. Both were very professional, knowledgeable, eager to make this safari a very special trip for both of us and both were always helpful and enthusiastic. Pius attended in an outstanding manner to some diet needs, even though he was not asked to do so. José is a very experienced driver and guide, gave us lots of information about animals, plants the national parks as well as about Tanzania in general and it’s cultures. We learned a lot about his country through many talks we had in the evenings. Thanks to him we got the chance to see many animals we may have missed.
Shemeji Safari & Tours also assisted us in the organization of our ongoing trip to Zanzibar, where also everything was well organized and the schedule worked out perfectly.
I would strongly recommend Emma and the Shemeji Safari & Tours if you plan to organize a trip to Tanzania.
