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! :)

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!

Awesome Safari and Masai experience
5/5

Emma, owner of the company, replies quickly to my enquiries and provides detailed info of what we need to prepare for the tour. Adam, the tour guide, was hospitable, knowledgeable and diligent. We did a 8-days tour, which we visited Tangarire, Lake Manyara, Arusha, ngorongoro national parks. Adam gave us all a wonderful time, he had timely taken us to see the Big-five and other wild animals including warthogs, hyenas, impala, cheetahs, etc. Although it's rainy season, Adam had always found the sunshine and alerted us when we approach elephants, giraffes, etc. Our food, prepared by our chef, was wonderful, we had English breakfast and western cuisines at night... awesome experience for people like us who lives in big cities. The visit to the Masai village was a highlight, unlike some other tours we heard, no extra fees/ rip-offs when we visited the village, we did some dancing and the tribe taught us how to throw spears and make fire...

A huge thanks to Emma, Adam, our chef, and those who had arranged the tailor-made tour and made us feel so comfortable throughout. Worth every penny and will definitely recommend them to my friends.

Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater
5/5

We had two amazing days to Tarangire National park and Ngorongoro crater. The booking process was very easy and Emma was very kind to us replying all our doubts by email in a reasonable time. The tour was very well organized and we don't have any complain. Our guide during these days, Adam, was fantastic and very patient. Everybody could feel the passion and intellect in him for his work. Also, we appreciated the great food of the chef and his company during the dinner.
We would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari &Tours.

Off Season Safari Might Be Better
5/5

We didn't realize we were going during wet season (my brother and I did very minimal research). This turned out not to be bad at all! The parks only had a handful of other vehicles, and the conditions weren't too bad. We managed to stay dry for the majority of the safari. The tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, a good eye for spotting animals, and a skilled driver for the rough, wet terrain. Camping in the parks was so much fun as were the stays in the lodges. The chef we had also provided us with great meals throughout the trip. This was an overall dream come true at an affordable price.
