Wonderfully Organized and Fantastic Sights!
We originally scheduled this trip in June of 202 and then had to wait until now for rebooking. The entire time Shemeji assured us that our deposit was safe for as long as needed. Once we finally got to go, we were afraid that it would not live up to our very high expectations and anticipation over two years, but it surpassed all of that,
The communication before the trip was excellent including a detailed itinerary of who would be picking us up and when for our airport transports, etc. The person cited was not always the person who came, but someone came and it was always clear. One time the plan was early and no one was there yet of course so we waited. At the designated time a man approached me and asked me if I was Ms. Mills and when I said I was he told me to go with the taxi driver who was waiting. Apaarently our scheduled driver was running late or had some problem but he made sure that we were taken care of at the scheduled time.
The accommodations were varied and all very lovely. The service at all of them was wonderful,
We added on a day in Stone Town which I feel is necessary. We were tired after our safari and wanted to move at a little slower pace so the extra time was nice to explore the town, see Prisoner Island, etc. The food there is wonderful. The food in all of the lodges was unexpected good as well. The only thing I did not appreciate is our transportation in Zanzibar from the airport to the hotel was very persistent about booking a tour. As I said we were tired and just wanted to relax a bit and weren't ready to make a decision about that. He pressured us into a tour which we were happy we did afterwards but I would like to have chosen it without that kind of stress.
The resort in Zanzibar was lovely, I was on the comfort tour and it was the accommodations with an ensuite bathroom. I didn't upgrade anything and I found all to be very clean, nice and comfortable.
Joseph was our guide for the five days of the safari and we enjoyed him very much. He picked us up everyday on time and did his best to seek out all of the animals that we wanted to see. He was a safe driver and shared a lot of information with us, made suggestions to stop at a Massai culture center, etc. Thanks Joseph!

Fantastic tour
We were slightly nervous about going with a small company we hadn’t heard of but read the reviews and decided to go for it - and we’re so glad we did!
Organisation was brilliant - having Anna and the office staff to answer our numerous questions so well and promptly was great. We went for 5 day northern safari circuit and it was perfect trip - visited 4 areas , all diffferent and all beautiful especially Ngorogoro. Guide, Deo, was great - found all the animals we wanted to see (excels rhinos but they are few in number) , he was a very assertive Jeep driver and got us where we wanted to go fast! Accomodation was great too - comfort safari tents felt luxurious, beds and bathrooms great. All picks ups and drop offs to airports were well organised and on time too.
Another highlight was Zanzibar extension - extended it by one night and glad we did as Reef and beach hotel fabulous - beautiful location on its own backed by forest full of red colobus monkeys - the only place they still live wild in the world .
Thank you for our once in a life time experience ,

A unique experience
An absolutely authentic experience driving through beautiful national parks while on a safari jeep with a lifted top (watching animals at a close distance, enjoying landscapes, rivers, fresh air). Our guide had an advanced English knowledge and informed us about the animals, country, people and so on. Food and accommodations were excellent. We felt very lucky to meet with new people, learn different cultures and catch the big five!

Amazing experience by a trusted
As the first time in a safari and first time in Africa we looked for someone relialble and able to guide us for all the aspect of the vacation.
Shemeji has been a great choice for a reasonable price. Emma was helpful and patient, helping clarifiy our doubts. Communication was constant and punctual thru many months before the vacation.
Accomodations provided during the stay were nice and in some way above the excpectations.
Our guide Pemba was so attentive with us and a font of knowledge about wildlife and more, he gave us many many hints.
Having a person from the operations team that was possible to contact during all the vacation was a nice and very appreciated feature.
I will recommend to choose Shemeji to my friends that want to go to Tanzania and sure I will chose them again the next time.

Safari for ever with Shemeji Safari Tanzania
We've booked a 7-day Safari Tour with Shemeji Safari in Tansania. That was a really exciting, memorable and well organized trip in every detail. We've visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Manyara National Parks plus Natron See National Park and Kilimanjaro National Park. We've seen a lot: the "big five" as Buffalo, Elefant, Leopard, Lion, and Rhino, and many plus animals as Cheetah, Crocodile, Hyena, Jackel, Mongoose, Baboon, many Antelops, Giraffe and Zebras, not to forget the Wildbeest, Wharthog and Hyppoes, plus nice looking birds. All this exciting animals were presented by our very talanted and devoted guide Khalid, who tirelessly searched the places of animals even in his overtime. We saw mindestens 50 lions, many zebras, giraffes and a part of Big Migration with thousands of zebras and wildebeests moving from Kenya to Serengeti back. The lodges, where we have spent our nights were perfect, the food given excellent and the staff for Lodges very helpful and friendly. Many thanks for this unforgettable journey.

Recently came back from a fantastic safari touring around northern Tanzania. Everything was organised superbly and the accommodation was excellent throughout.
Couldn't recommend this company highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to go with them again.

We booked a safari for our honeymoon. Booking was smooth, and we were super excited to have this experience. When the safari was just amazing. We booked a private tour ( so it was 2 of us and the amazing guide/driver - Isiyah). Our driver was so knowledgeable and experienced, but also a great company. He was really a living encyclopedia and we learned a lot about animals, and ecosystems and fell even more in love with Tanzania. We are definitely recommending this tour for all it's parts - from booking to experience itself.
Very Passionate and knowledgeable, Adam was excellent.
The safari was absolutely perfect, we saw everything we could have hoped to see and more, definitely eclipsed our expectations. Our tour guide Adam was amazing and we loved every second. Serengeti and ngorongoro crater are just incredible.
