It was really nice and it was definetly one of the best experience here! The trip is very organized!
The communication was good. The food was also good and everything was very clear for example that you were picked up and every night one of the guides came to the group and tells something about the next day and what you can expect about it.

Great Safari, well organized, easy to book and great recommendations for the tour
Shemeji Safari & Tours is a great Operator and was a big help of us. We booked a 5 day Safari without beeing to Africa before. They helped us with the planning, answered all questions and gave recommendations what is worth to do and what not. The pick-up and Safari worked very well and we had a great time. The parks were very diverse which made the Safari very exciting. Furthermore, we had different types of accommodation included which were great. Moreover, they gave us great recommendations for our ongoing travel to Zanzibar.

Wow! Elephants so close!
We did a one-day safari trip to Tarangire and it was great. After the swift drive from Arusha we arrived at the park and could start our tour right away. We saw a lot of animals. In the beginning we saw a group of lions on the hunt. Then several zebra, wildebeest, a dik-dik, monkeys, a vulture in a baoboab tree and elands. The most spectacular were two different group of elephant. We were so close that we could hear the sounds they were making! I made some great photos of the group and of the baby elephants. After the lunch we spotted a cheetah that was eating and on the way back a group of giraffe (my favourite animals).
Our guide Ely was fantastic. He drove us around very safely and knew a lot about the animals, the life in Tanzania and was good company. The safari car was comfortable. The booking proces went very smooth. I would definelty recommend Shemeji Safaris and would choose it again the next time I come to Tanzania!
Thanks for the great time!

A nice experience to see the african wild life
I went on a 3 day safari to the Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Our guide was also very good in recognizing the animals , so we really saw every animal that we could possibly see. The food was great and also the sleeping bags kept us warm during the cold night in the Ngorogoro. I also liked the jeep we were driving in, because it was very large en comfortable. Only at the end we had an 2 hour stop because off a problem with the tires of the car, but for the rest I really liked it.

Posted on Oct 18, 2016Hi Eline. I'm so sorry for what happened with the car. The roads in Serengeti are extremely bad at the moment (so many stones), so sometimes it happens that a car gets a flat tyre. If it happens our guides try to fix this as soon as possible.

Dutch rangers on tour
I've have had a great time with the tour guides of Shemeji Safari & Tours. We went with 4 Dutch girls on a 3 day safari in the Serengeti area and Ngorongoro crater. On Friday we left very early in the morning to the Serengeti National Park. On the way Jozef tried to repare the electricity in the car, so we were able to charge our phones and camera's. Unfortunately this did not work out. After passing the registration areas, luckily It did not take that long as we had expected, we entered the park. On the first day we had perfect weather and we have seen lots of animals already. Jozef was very helpfull to find as many animals as possible. After a long but satifsying day we arrived at the camp where our amazing chef started to prepare our dinner. The food was very good and filled our bellies. After a shower, which was possible since a couple of weeks, we were ready to go to sleep. The next morning we woke up early to see the beautiful sunrise. The second day was again a warm and beautiful day. It is such an amazing park with lovely views and animals. In the afternoon we almost saw a lion catching a Gazelle, nevertheless the Gazelle recognized the lion and ran away. At the end of the day we arrived at our second camp in the Ngorongoro crater. A nice place with a view inside the crater. It was pretty cold in this area, so we went bed early and tried to make ourselves warm enough.
The next day we went into the crater. It was still a bit cloudy and chilly, but this created a beautiful sky with some sun coming through. Around noon we left the crater and went back to Arusha.
It was such a great safari. I have been on safari in South Africa and this felt much more like a real safari. I would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari & Tours and hope that I am able to come back to see more from the Serengeti area. Thank you so much for this experience! I will never forget it!

Unforgettable experience!
As a family of 6 (children 17, 16, 13 and 10) we did a 3 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was far beyond our expectations. We were accomplished by a great guide who had an eye for detail and gave us much information about environment and animals. And an excellent cook who managed to surprise us with every meal. We are looking back at a great time and can recommend this great company to everybody!

professionalism, flexibility and kindness
I recommend Shemeji safari & tours for their professionalism, flexibility and kindness. Emma gave me all the information I needed several weeks in advance (emails, skype discussion) and she accepted to form a group, which is very convenient if you travel solo. The guide Ely and the cook Godson are very friendly. A 4 day safari is a good option.

Excellent safari tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Emma provided us with an excellent guide and a good cook. We traveled with two teenagers who were just impressed by this great tour. We highly recommend this safari company who is runned with an ethical perspective and contributes to the promotion of women in the Masai communities.

3 days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Sunset glowing red over a vast horizon-less Serengeti. Three male elephants walking across a volcanic crater. A leopard eating an impala in a tree. 3 eventful and fascinating days on safari in the stunning Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Wildlife: lions, elephants, hippos, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, impala, gazelle, mongooses, ostriches, monkeys, baboons, eagles and a far away rhino. And that’s just mentioning the famous ones….
Staff/Service: The guide was from nearby Kilimanjaro and was very knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and the geography of the Serengeti. An anecdote or two over dinner would have added something but he worked hard to deliver a memorable experience. Our cook produced tasty meals from limited resources.
Vehicle: A customised Toyota Landcruiser fitted with a pop-up roof was comfortable and ideal for viewing wildlife.
Camping: Not exactly luxury, but I would prefer to sleep in a tent in the Serengeti than stay in 5-star hotel!
I had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Shemaji Safari & Tours to any adventurous visitors in beautiful northern Tanzania.
