Our visit to the National parks Tarangire and Serengeti and Conservation area Ngorongoro
We just came back from our trip to Tanzania part of which was also safari tour organized by Shemeji Safari company. We had a great opportunity to visit beautiful national parks Tarangire and Serengeti as well as conservation area of Ngorongoro where we enjoyed abundance of animal life and unforgettable colours of true Africa. No need to mention that we brought back home plenty of pictures as well as nice memories which we'll share with our friends and family.
All this would not be possible without excellent guide and reliable driver and we had this in Adam, employee of Shemeji S. We would like to thank him for his valuable and professional support during our entire tour. Due to his efforts, attention and care we managed to learn a lot not only of animals and plants we saw in the parks but also about your nice country and your people. Adam was always ready to answer each of our questions and was even having a book with him showing all animal species we could encounter in the parks.
Finally let me mention that our transfers from Kilimanjaro airport to town of Arusha and back were arranged by the driver named Frank who was reliable and did his job according our best expectations.
Honeymoon Safari
Shemeji provided us with the best safari we could have hoped for! We had a lot of unexpected delays and lost baggage, meaning we had to delay the start of our safari and Shemeji was so accommodating. They arranged for us to have a tour of Arusha when we couldn't start the safari on the planned day, and they re-organized our whole itinerary to ensure that we got to see everything we wanted in less days. Our guide, Michael, was amazing. He knew exactly where to go and had so much knowledge to share about all of the different wildlife we saw - we were lucky enough to see the big 5! Our chef, Daniel, made such delicious meals the entire safari, we were so happy every time we sat down for a meal. Michael and Daniel were so friendly and easy to get along with, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Emma was great at communicating with us, and was so organized when it came to rearranging our itinerary. My husband and I would both recommend Shemeji to anyone wanting a perfect safari experience in Tanzania!

The guide and the cook were really nice and at our services. What we saw was gorgeous
The communication before the safari was great and easy. It was very pleasant to prepare this trip.
Then, everything went well and we were very happy in the parks, the guide took the right time to explain the wildlife and to explore the parks. The cook was really good and we did not miss anything. A very good experience!

An amazing experience, with a great guide.
The safari was amazing! We had the time of our lives, everything ran according to plan and it surpassed our own expectations. From the parks to the accommodation. Four unbelievable days.
We did: Tarangire Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Shemeji had a very good plan for the safari and were always very professional in our communication. The places they choose for us to sleep were also exceptional. We also know that it all went so well thanks to the incredible work of our guide, Adam. Not only because he was a master at knowing where the animals were, but also because he was such a pleasure to be with. He answered all our nagging questions with patience, did a great job explaining us the characteristics of the animals, of the parks our even the country.
We recommend Shemeji to everyone who wants to do a safari.

Wonderful safari experience in Tanzania with Shemeji
We had a wonderful safari experience with Shemeji in Tanzania. We booked the 5-day safari (Tarangine, Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro) and everything went really well. Our guide Sele was super laid back, fun, safe driver and had really good knowledge of the animals. He wanted us to have the best experience and was flexible with our wishes. Overall everything went as planned with Shemeji, our emails were replied quickly, the drivers from the airport were on time and we have absolute nothing bad to say about Shemeji as the organizer.
If you're thinking whether 5 days is too much, for me it wasn't but if you're thinking a shorter stay, then either skip Tarangine or Lake Manyara (or both if you want to do only 3 days). Serengeti and Ngorongoro are must as they have the most animals and best views in my opinion. The best & most unique night stay was at Serengeti (Africa Safari Serengeti Central) and I highly recommend in staying in that tent camp. The lunch boxes are not the best (usually they include white bread, chicken, egg, 1 fruit, cookies etc.) but that is a common lunch package for all safari organizers. So have a big breakfast and don't expect too much of the lunch box. Lunch views on the other hand were nice in the national parks!
Overall great experience and highly recommend a safari in tanzania if you've been dreaming about that!

Great camping safari experience
As a family adventure, this was a perfect trip. The whole booking procedure and all the arrangements with first night hotel, transfers and the additional walking safari worked perfectly. Our adult daughters happily stepped up at half past five in the morning ready for morning safaris. We visited 4 national parks in 6 days and camped in public campsites. Ben, our guide knew a lot about the landscape animals and animals behavior. He was also great at finding the animals and also getting along even though it was very flooded in both Serengetti and Ngorongoro which was unusual for the time. Isaak our chef was also very good and attentive and so we got good food throughout the trip, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you like campinglife then this is a perfect way to make a safari trip.

Amazing, unforgettable Safari !
No words can describe what was undoubtedly the most amazing experience. From the helpful guidance we received from Emma & the team who helped us plan our Safari (we only had 3 days to fit in our Safari between visiting our daughter working out in Dar es Salaam) & travelling onto Zanzibar, everything was organised perfectly. Our lovely knowledgable guide Omary was there to greet us at Arusha airport & from thereon worked incredibly hard to ensure we encountered so many gorgeous animals including leopards, lions including tree climbing ones, elephants and black rhinos. The camp we stayed at was beautiful in an equally beautiful setting overlooking Lake Manyara; as were all the staff who looked after us so well and our tented lodge really comfortable and welcoming. Go book & enjoy. A huge Thank you to everyone at Shemeji. Incredible !

Hard to sum up in a sentence but it was everything we hoped our first safari experience would like.
Searching through a sea of safari companies on-line not knowing anything about booking a safari was daunting. Somehow I came across Shemeji and decided to reach out. The response was immediate and we had a good feeling. Doing more research it seemed that we could get everything from Shemeji that we could from other companies and go to all the same places, but they better fit our mid-range budget. Next thing you know we had booked a 5-day safari, nearly 6-months in advance. It would fall in the middle of an around-the-world trip we were taking so we didn't do all the planning we normally would, just crossed our fingers and hope we made a good choice. Next thing you know we are in Tanzania and getting picked up by Adam our guide. We drove, ate, and hung out with him for the next 5-days. He was a true G and made our experience memorable. Giving us great insight into both the nature and humans of Tanzania and Africa. We saw every animal imaginable. Ate amazing food. Every place we stayed was beyond expectations, but our favorite was the camping in the Serengeti. What an unreal experience! The tents were so cool, the water was hot, the people so hospitable, and even the wifi was good, not that you need that but it was a surprise. We capped our last day off by seeing 11 rhino's, the last of the Big 5, thanks to Adam's eagle eyes. The safari ended up being one of our most memorable experiences from our 5-months of traveling. Can't recommend enough.

A great experience with great guides.
Our guide and cook were knowledgable, friendly, and very accommodating. We had high expectations going in, and the experience still managed to beat our expectations. We saw every animal we could think or hope to see (including Cheetahs and a Rhino, and lions beyond count), while accompanied by a fantastic guide. I would certainly book with Shemeji again.

everything was exceptionally great
Booking was straightforward thanks to you always getting back to us very quickly with all the info we needed, it made coordinating booking flights/hotels easy. Our guide, Julius was fantastic, he is is very knowledgable about nature, animals and local culture, and did his very best to make sure we get the most out of the safari. He is also a very safe driver, which was important. Accommodations were great, the places were clean and we received a very warm welcome at every place. All staff were super helpful. We will definitely recommend your company to friends.
