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.

3 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Me and my 2 children wanted to go in Serengeti and Ngorongoro once in Tanzania, without prior organization.
After some emails exchanges, I have met Emma in Arusha. She found me a suitable solution for my budget and wishes.
Our Guide (Elie) was very competent, and has made my children happy. The patrick's dishes and logistic made me happy...
The only thing to improve for Shemeji Safari & Tours is the means of payment.
Globally, it was really a great trip !

Safari Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Last week I went on a safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours. In 4 days we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. In my opinion the perfect amount of days to visit these parcs. We started at Tarangire. It is a 2 hour drive from Arusha. The whole first day we went on game drive in Tarangire. We saw a lot of animals like elephants, zebras and baboons. Our guide knew a lot about the animals. So we learned a lot from him and we were free to ask every question we liked. That night we slept in luxury tents with beds outside Tarangire. A good campsite with hot showers. The next morning we drove to Serengeti. It is a long drive but we saw a lot on the way to Serengeti because you have to pass by Ngorongoro to get there. It is a beautiful drive. That night and the next morning we did game drives in Serengeti. We saw a lot of special animals like lions and cheetahs. The campsite in Serengeti is simple but it is very cool to sleep in the centre of the Serengeti. Everyday the cook made food for us. Every meal was delicious and enough for everyone. On the last day we visited Ngorongoro. It is very cold in this parc so you need a lot of warm clothes but it is worth it. Also this campsite was simple but on a beautiful hill, very cosy and with zebras next to our tents! In short we had an amazing safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours. The driver and cook were very friendly and showed us a beautiful piece of Africa in four days!

Wonderful experience!!!!
I joined a four day safari with Shemeij. The safari was really a life time experience. The first three days we went to Serengeti National Park and the fourth day we visited the Ngorongoro crater. It was very beautiful. We had a very good guide called Elemes. He speaks very good English and took a lot of effort showing us as much as possible. We also went very deep into the park, to parts where very little tourist came. I have seen far more wildlife than I had expected. It was very impressive. I can recommend a safari with Shemeji very much.
I will always remember this fantastic experience!!!

A magical safari experience!
Since I stayed in Arusha as a volunteer, I decided to go on a safari as well. I did the 4-day-safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I'm so happy that I decided to do this safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours because it was totally worth the money and an absolutely amazing experience! The guide knew a lot of things and has been able to show us the Big Five and also a lot of other amazing animals (for example cheetahs!). The food was delicious and the time schedule was perfect since we have been able to see sunset and sunrise at Serengeti and that was such a magical experience! I loved these four days and I would totally recommend this safari by Shemeji Safari & Tours!

Excellent safari with great guide and lots of wildlife spotting
We had a great time on our safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. There was plenty of wildlife to be spotted, and our driver and guide Mr. Deo was very energetic. He was very eager to tell us stories and answered all questions we had tirelessly. We spent the night in a camp between the two national parks. The service in the camp was great, however I would probably have preferred staying in the national park or a bit closerby. The price of the safari is steep, but we understood this is the case for most safaris, due to recent increase of park fees. Emma did her best finding another person to join the safari, which she succeeded in, and this helped us getting the price per person down. Thanks for organizing, we had a wonderful time!

Shemeji Safari & Tours made our safari into an unforgettable and exhilarating experience
Going on a safari has been one of the best journeys I have made so far thanks to Shemeji Safari & Tours. The game driver was always friendly and helpful and knew everything there is to know about mammals, birds and wildlife in general. Furthermore, the food was really good. As I am a vegetarian I thought it would be problematic but the cook took my preferences into account very well. The camp sites were basic but this made our trip all the more exciting. If you would love to go 'into the wild' you surely should go with Shemeji!

Exciting 4 days safari in the 3 Tanzania's best Safari Parks
We found Shemeji Safari through Safari Bookings when planning our trip to Tanzania. Among the operators we contacted Emma the Shemeji Safari owner and she gave us the best offer for the 4 day package to the 3 main parks of Tarangire, Serengeti and Gonrongoro. The package was well described and explained so we decided to go for it. I am happy to say that the trip met all our expectations. The tour was very well organised the driver Adam and the cook Patrick were excellent the camp sites were basic but clean and secure and the experience of course is unique since the scenery and the diversity the animals and plants is one of the best in the world. The driver Adam was not just driving but was also very well informed about the flora and fauna of the sites and very professional in tracing and showing us everything. I would strongly recommend Emma and the Shemeji Safari & Tours for your safari in Tanzania.

Excellent Safari - Absolutely recommendable!!!
My safari at Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater with friends was awesome. Apart from seeing the big 5, experiencing the impressive Tanzanian nature and getting an adventurous feeling, it was fun being around with our guides Freddy and Adam. Both are so welcoming and really know the corners to go. Good job! Working as a volunteer in Tanzania I know, how important the support of vulnerable groups is. Shemeji-Safari is giving part of its profit for education and trainings for Maasai women, which made me feel even better during my safari. All in all we had gorgeous days and we definitely would book them again!
