Awesome
5/5

We did a six days safari tour with Shemeji Safari Tours. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, 3 days Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. We had such a great time with our guide Ben and cook Pius!! At our safari we have seen a lot of different animals, Ben told us that we were very lucky. Ben is very enthousiatic and very experienced. We never felt unsafe! Pius was a very awesome cook, we ate very good meals. He made even a pineapple fritter in the Serengeti. Beside the safari we also arranged some day trips around Arusha and they planned our trip to Zanzibar. Everything was so good! Also the communication with Emma was very fast and good. We would recommand Shemeji Safari Tours to everyone

Outstanding experience that leaves the mark thanks to this great company
5/5

The safari has exceeded our expectations.
Already from the beginning, the company has come to meet every need by creating an ad hoc holiday tailored for us.
They have always been very kind and helpful, and most importantly they had a great, well-prepared guide (Edward) who has always been able to answer any of our questions and made us live the wildlife and flora of these places in an extraordinary way.
Even the chef excellent, difficult to follow the tastes of us European, yet he has succeeded us completely.

Best experience EVER!
5/5

We have had a wonderful safari experience, from the booking process to the actual safari. Emma handled the booking process link a champ with regular and professional communication and our driver Freddy was very friendly, a very good driver and full of knowledge.
Our 6-day safari (shared with 2 other people) was a truly magical experience. Highly recommended!

A trip of a lifetime
5/5

We had an amazing 2 weeks in Tanzania thanks to Shemeji and their staff. From being greeted at the airport upon our arrival by Frank in Mt. Kilimanjaro to getting dropped off 2 weeks later in Zanzibar, we had full confidence in Shemeji.
- Emma was very accommodating during the booking process, we had a hundred questions since this was our first safari trip and she promptly answered every one. She also had no problem adapting the itinerary to our personal needs(including last minute flight changes). After everything was figured out, we couldn't believe how good of a deal the trip was.
- Edward is an incredible driver, and the best tour guide. He knows all the parks like the back of his hand and will find whatever animal you're looking for. He's also very knowledgeable about whatever you see -- birds, mammals, plants, etc. If he doesn't know what you spotted he'll eagerly look it up in a book to learn about it. He's also kind, funny and helpful. Which are all important since you'll be spending a lot of time with this person over the course of your trip.
- Godson is an amazing chef and fed us incredible vegan food every day for 3 meals a day. Having a dietary restriction had us a little concerned about a trip like this. But Godson had no problem with our vegan diet. He made delicious meals every day. Our only "problem" was that there was too much food. We were full at every meal. That was not what we expected from this trip and we loved it. He's also a sweet person and made for great company on the trip as well.
- Our accommodations were all great. From the campgrounds, to hotels and lodges. It was quite a sampling of different areas and types of places to stay in Tanzania.

We wandered Arusha, swam with dolphins in the Indian Ocean, got woken up by hyenas, and saw about 70 lions on safari(along with cheetahs, leopards, elephants and everything else we wanted to see!) while visiting 5 national parks and conservation areas.
Thanks Shemeji!

Amazing 9 Day Trip with Adam and Shemeji
5/5

This Safari went over and above our expectations. Emma did a great job sorting the trip out, from start to finish and was very prompt at returning my emails. Adam our driver and guide was excellent! Very professional, friendly and super accommodating. With 10 years experience and still a great passion for nature and wildlife you couldn't ask for any better. The camps we stayed in along the way were great, the service and food was top notch! We are already trying to decide when we can come back and do more, and we will defiantly be using Shemeji Safari and Tours again.

Amazing 4 day safari
5/5

For us it was once in a lifetime experience, and thanks to shemeji it was everything we expected.
Fisrt of all, the communication via email and whatsapp was great. Always fast replies from emma. The payment can be done via paypal, that was great for us.
Once we arrrived to arusha, the driver was waiting for us to take us to green mountain hotel. The next day, our guide Ben was very punctual to pick us up. We did a 4 day safari, going to tarangire, serengeti and ngorongoro crater. They are all really amazing and Ben was an incredible guide.
100% recommendable.
