Excellent, relaxed and with expertise
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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!

fantastic tour - excellent organization and a super guide
5/5

We had a fantastic tour and visited all the famous national parks of the Northern circuit: Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The organization and communication with Shemeji was very good, friendly and uncomplicated. We had a super good guide, named Allan Richard, who was very attentive, everything well organized on the spots, had a good view for animals and even spoke German. Thank you very much! We were and are thrilled. The experiences are unforgettable for us.

The best Safari company
5/5

Our safari with Shemeji was fantastic! Our guide Ely was the best. I don't know how he did it, but we were always on the spot where the animals were. He also managed to get our car in the best position, so we could have a front row view. He knew a lot about the animals and was able to answer all our questions. We even saw a lion eating a prey at maybe 5 to 10 meters distance! Still felt very safe alll the time.
Our cook was also fantastic. He was so creative with the food. We are both vegetarian and always had a very good meal. It wa funny to see how all the guests get popcorn before dinner and our plate was always the biggest in comparison with the other guests.
The communication with Emma was smooth and she arranged eveything fine. We could even store our big backpags at her home, so we only had to carry a small bag.
I would recommend doing the camping. Especially camping in the Serengeti was very special, because you just sleep in the middle of the park, hearing all the animal sounds at night.
Summed up, it was one of the best experiences we had in our trip and I defenitely recommend going with Shemeji safari!
