What a great safari we had!
We did a 7 day safari with our two daughters of 8 and 10 years old. What a good trip we had! Everything well organised and excellent communication in advance. The trip itself we had a very experienced guide that showed us so much, including the Big Five and a river crossing of the wildabeasts over the Mara river. Our cook made excellent food for us, and seemed not to be bothered by the often limited facilities at the campsites! Car was not new but fully functional (including charge station for camera batteries) and perfectly fit for the job in this often heavy terrain!

Awesome safari, with afterwards an ok stay at Zanzibar
We went for a 6 day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Aferwards, we stayed at Zanzibar for about 6 nights.
We had an awesome safari with Shemeji! Our guide Harun and cook Isaack were both excellent at their jobs. Harun drove perfectly, told us a lot about the parks we went too and the animals we saw, put us (the customer) as his first priority (he stopped everywhere we wanted), has a very good sence of humor, is excellent English speaking (also very important!). Just. Awesome. Isaack was able to cook anything, breakfasts where good, lunches always nice and the evening dinner delicious. And the hamburger on the last day with some fries, yum. He was also a very cool guy, had a very good sence of humor, also excellent English speaking and always helpful. The parks were very beautiful, the animals so awesome and Harun and Isaack very cool guys. We wouldn't miss this trip for the world and thank them once more for the amazing safari!
However, the Green Mountain Hotel (overnight stay at Arusha) was ok. Don't expect luxury, just basics. Our time at Zanzibar was also very nice. Beautiful white beaches and a very blue sea. Mbuyuni Beach Village had lots of places to hangout and the lunch / dinner menu was always different. However, don't expect luxury here also, but just the basics. Some things could be much better, like the bed, sheets and some other things. The personnel however was always friendly, helpful and fun. Unfortunately, the same music is played every night and the food isn't always that good.
So, overall we had a good experience with Shemeji. The safari was awesome, our stay at the hotels ok. I would recommend Shemeji (and especially Harun and Isaack) to anyone! However, maybe choose your own hotels when you need some more luxury. Otherwise, these ones are just fine. Shemeji, thanks once more!

Posted on Aug 3, 2017Dear Sander,
Thank you for your review and I'm happy to hear you had a great safari experience. You are very right that it's possible to overnight in more luxery accommodations, it all depends on the budget. Everything is possible! :-)
Kind regards,
Shemeji Safari & Tours

Excellent, relaxed and with expertise
Our guide at Shemeji was very friendly, gave us everything we needed: seeing the wonders of the safari parks, including the big 5 and many more! His relaxed character, excellent driving skills and expert knowledge of where to look for rare animals gave us a great experience. With his help, and that of the chef, who prepared nutritious meals every day, we got something we will never forget.
At Shemeji you get value for money, personal service by truly kind people from this local organisation - that makes sure also others that aren't so lucky profit from what you pay them for their work.

We had enjoyed our trip with Shemeji, well organized & high experience company
This was our first visit to Tanzania, a day at Each of Trangerie, ngorongoro, lake manyara and two days at Serengeti. We had communicated Emma earlier while preparing our trip she was very helpful, replying instantly, smoothly to our mails/questions. Once we had arrived we had a delay in our flight, we contacted Emma and even with a delay we had found our driver waiting for us. Our guide was Allen "the king of the jungle" he was informative he has great knowledge about animals/wild life even trees he is a high experienced guide, presistant to catch every animal out there, speaks german language and we had enjoyed his company. Emma had picked nice hotels for our stay in each park. We highly recommend Shemeji for having a safari.

Superb: If I could give six stars I would!
Booking a safari with companies 4k miles away always brings with it some risks and worries (you only need to read the various reviews to see the problems that people can encounter) but I must say that in my experience with Shemeji I have encountered nothing but professional and excellent service. My mother, myself and my two children (21 & 24) booked a 6 day private safari of Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it exceeded all of our expectations; in fact, I fail to see how it could have been any better. This was not only due to the flora and fauna but also the painless arranging of the trip (Emma), the excellent accommodation, the superb guide (Freddy - a very knowledgeable and pleasant guy who clearly loves his job and who we very much enjoyed spending the week with) and the very reasonable price. This holiday meant a lot to us and Shemeji didn't let us down. Wholeheartedly recommended with many thanks to Emma and Freddy for providing us with a holiday to truly remember.

Amazing Experience with Shemeji Tours in Tanzania
We had an incredible experience with Shemeji Safari and Tours, and would highly recommend the company. Not only did we end up seeing an unbelievable array of wildlife - hundreds of elephants, huge prides of lions, a family of cheetahs, five black rhinos, leopards, you name it - our guide, Elemis, was extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgable. We instantly felt at ease with him, and he made our trip both comfortable and fun. I would definitely book with this company again.

Tanzania 5-day Safar - Fantastic!
I have just finished my 5-day Safari tour in Tanzania. Shemeji did great job to organized the trip including airport pickup from/to JRO and extra nights at Arusha. Last year, I had hard time to book my Safari tour since I am a solo-female-budget traveller. Thanks Shemeji to make my dreams come true. It was a fantastic trip and one I will remember for many years, if not a lifetime.
Omary is extremely knowledgeable and able to find game animals, but more importantly, he loves all animals and is able to share his understanding of the animals and their lives with us. Our chef, Pius worked so hard to cook delicious foods for us every day.
We saw a pride of lions hunting, a very rare black rhino and her baby, hypos, a leopard in a tree a Cheetah under a tree. A elephant family walked right by our car. That was exciting. Camping in Serengeti and Ngorongoro were amazing experience too. I can hear the lion roar from distance. One night, there are 30-40 hyenas walked by my tent.
Highly recommend Shemiji Safari Tour! I will come again with my family.
Amazing! Everything we were looking for
Our trip was amazing! It was so easy working with Emma to book the trip. We went for our honeymoon, and they tried hard to make it special for us. Our guide was great and informative, and knew where to take us to see what we wanted to see. We had such a good time. We saw so much and learned so much, and the food was great! We’re recommending Shemeji to everyone we know! :)

Lifetime experience! Just great with nothing to complain about!
We were completely happy with everything. From the communication before the tour, the guide, car and food to of course the safari itself. Thanks to guide not giving up on the leopard, we saw all the big 5! This is a complete recommendation!
