Experience of my life
Our whole journey from the first day to the last is a fairy tale, opening new and new pages every day. We just fell in love with Africa. We highly appreciated the comfort provided by the company. We understand that Shimeji Safari Tanzania has done everything possible for us to take away a piece of Africa in our heart. We will recommend Shimeji Safari Tanzania to all friends. and we would love to come back one day again. Our driver, friend, translator from/ to Swahili, defender Kosmas will always be in our memories.

From start to end a great experience
Booking with Shemeji Safari was made very easy and the contact with people was throughout very friendly.
On the safari itself, we were well looked after and the lodges were all very nice and in stunning locations. It was my first safari and if I went again, I would use them again.

He was absolutely exceptional and felt like family.
It was an awe-inspiring, life-altering journey. This is something everyone should experience at least once, and it doesn't have to break the bank. From the exhilarating game drives to the cozy tents we stayed in, every aspect was flawless. We felt entirely secure throughout, and our guide was always available for assistance. Witnessing the Big Five was truly transformative. We saw Lions, Zebras, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos, buffalos, just to name a few.

Excellent Safari Experience
We booked nine days of Safari with Shemeji. The tour via Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara, NCA and Serengeti was well thought out and we enjoyed the diverse sceneries that each park has to offer. Our guide, Sillo, has been amazing in tracking animals, particularly lions in Ndutu, and generally, he has demonstrated superb knowledge about the flora and fauna in every NP that we visited.
Particularly the areas, that were considered off season, because the migration was elsewhere, such as Ndutu and Pololeti, were breathtaking. They were teeming with life nonetheless and thanks to the lack of crowds we had them almost only for ourselves.
The Africa Safari hotels offer great service and food. Sometimes the chefs even cooked additional vegetarian food specifically for us to make sure that we get enough proteins. An absolute highlight for us was the Africa Safari South Serengeti Ndutu hotel where we could even spot wildlife right outside of our tent.
One stain on our trip was our car that broke down multiple times. Was that annoying? Yes, but it did not overshadow an otherwise flawless trip.
Thank you!

Shemeji fulfilled my dream
This 14-day trip (12 days on safari) was all I expected and more.
From the first contact, I felt that my Shemeji representative understood what I wanted regarding budget, itinerary, lodgings, etc. She answered my gazillion questions in the best delays and gave me clear information. I did not feel pushed to upscale or spend more than my stated budget (which was not the case with other companies I contacted). The evening before the start of my safari, a Shemeji representative came to my lodge to welcome me and give me a briefing for the following days.
During the trip, I stayed at 7 different lodges and they were exactly as described - no bad surprise. All of them had all the amenities advertised; everything was very clean, bottled water was provided for toothbrushing, safes for valuables and mosquito nets were in place, and basic toiletries were provided. The food was good and plentiful. The teams, from the managers to the waiters and security guards, were excellent. They were attentive and cheerful and made you feel extremely welcome. As a 59-year-old female solo traveler, I felt safe in all places at all times. If you needed anything and it was in their power to make it happen, they would. Each lodge had its particular charm, from huge tents to circular Masaai-like rooms. The one in Ikoma has a particular place in my heart because, from my tent patio, I saw giraffes and zebras ambling by pretty close as well as a group of wildebeests running toward the North.
As far as wildlife viewing, it was absolutely fantastic. I had a great guide, Englebert, who not only knew the Serengeti inside out, could answer any question, drove efficiently and safely, had eyes like a hawk, found great places to view every animal but was also very educational on the ecosystems, the different types of wildlife conservation areas throughout Tanzania, and about life in Tanzania in general. He was pivotal in the success of my trip. My other local guides (Mto wa Mbu village, Masaai Boma village, Pololeti Game Reserve, and Ikoma Walking Safari) were also great. I learned a lot about farming, daily life, customs, and the flora through them.
As far as pricing goes, I feel like I received good value for my budget. I hope to be able to go back to Tanzania in a few years and will not hesitate to book again with Shemeji.
