Our visit to the National parks Tarangire and Serengeti and Conservation area Ngorongoro
5/5

We just came back from our trip to Tanzania part of which was also safari tour organized by Shemeji Safari company. We had a great opportunity to visit beautiful national parks Tarangire and Serengeti as well as conservation area of Ngorongoro where we enjoyed abundance of animal life and unforgettable colours of true Africa. No need to mention that we brought back home plenty of pictures as well as nice memories which we'll share with our friends and family.

All this would not be possible without excellent guide and reliable driver and we had this in Adam, employee of Shemeji S. We would like to thank him for his valuable and professional support during our entire tour. Due to his efforts, attention and care we managed to learn a lot not only of animals and plants we saw in the parks but also about your nice country and your people. Adam was always ready to answer each of our questions and was even having a book with him showing all animal species we could encounter in the parks.

Finally let me mention that our transfers from Kilimanjaro airport to town of Arusha and back were arranged by the driver named Frank who was reliable and did his job according our best expectations.

Outstanding safari experience
5/5

Having never been on a safari I wasn’t sure what to expect. This trip exceeded all my hopes. Communication before the trip was excellent. We were picked up on time but our outstanding driver/guide. Accommodations were comfortable with good food.
The first day we were surrounded by nearly 50 elephants and I told our driver that he would not be able to top that in the remaining 4 days. He just smiled and said, “We will try!” Every day of the trip contained a wide variety of animals and each day had an amazing highlight (elephants, leopard and cheetah, a pool of 40 hippos, Wildebeest as far as you can see, mating lions). Our driver was full of interesting information about the animals we were seeing which added to the experience.

The only minor issue I had was the vehicle. We were in a Nissan truck and it seemed the Toyota Landcruisers were a bit more sturdy and therefore less bouncy.

An unforgettable experience
5/5

Everything went well. The communication was good, the suggested accommodations corresponded to what we intended and glamping is a very interesting economic alternative. Our guide Good Living was fantastic and provided us with a wonderful experience.
Without any doubt, I would re-book with Shemeji Safari Tanzania

3 Days Tanzania safari- a lifetime experience
5/5

The safari tour to Tanzania was booked in advance. We flew to Arusha, where our safari guide waited for us with a name plate. He was unfortunately a bit ill, so he organized, to cheange him. At a gas station, our new guide was waiting for us. It was a very good decision, we loved our new guide. And then started for the first national park. In 3 days we were in 3 national parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and last day Lake Manyara. Each National Park is famous for something else, so we selected it to see everything (elephants, giraffes, lions, monkeys, hippo, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, rhinoceros and countless birds). We spent the nights in the same luxury campsite, the Safari Company's own accommodation. The tents are in a huge wooded garden with small winding paths between them. The staff waited us every day with fresh friut juices, and the food was impeccable. Our guide responded immediately to all of our requests, dealt with just us within 3 days, and answered all of our questions. For anyone who goes to the other end of the world, it's a sin to miss out a safari tour,it was a lifelong, indescribable experience.

Great safari experience
5/5

Shemeji planned a fun, comprehensive itinerary showcasing Tanzania's national parks, tribal cultures, and local economy. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable about the parks and animals and had a keen eye for spotting game in the bush. Our accommodations & dining each day were quite comfortable and we especially enjoyed the ingenuity of the Serengeti bush camps. I would be happy to recommend booking a trip with Shemeji to family and friends that wish to visit Tanzania.

Absolutely simple safe true and joyful cooperation.
5/5

Absolutely simple safe true and joyful cooperation with Shemeji Safari Tanzania operator. Payment seamless secure via bank transfer in Europe. 6-Day Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Lodge - price reasonable, fully corresponding to the services provided. We were a group of 4 adults and 3 girls 17 years old. The whole stay, from the first minute to the last, was exactly, clearly, organized, without a single mistake (difficulties). Despite 6 days of driving in the car, nobody could complain and even bored at all (even teenagers were excidet !!!). Also the food (full board) on all days was excellent, adequate, digestible (even for girls - teenagers :-) ). Bathrooms and toilets in the accommodation and during the day in the center of the bush were without any problems and incredibly clean (even the pampered girls-teenagers were surprised and satisfied :-) ) !!!.
The guide/driver was professionally experienced, responsible, always tried to satisfy us at all times. He was constantly communicating with other colleagues in the safari park and we always got to the right place in time to see the animals close up.
Thanks to him, we could see and meet at very close range (1 to 5 meters): lions (male and female), leopards, cheetahs, jackal, crocodiles, large lizard, many elephants, buffalos, hippos, various large birds, and countless antelopes, zebras and wildebeests. We could even take photos 2 black and 5 white rhinos from a relatively comfortable distance.
Needless to worry about how to survive 5-6 days on safari. Every park is different and always interesting. Time will pass very quickly. There is no need to worry about boredom, dirt, insects, danger. I recommend carrying binoculars and sunglasses (wind and dust when driving with the opern roof). There is (in Europe) very wrong information about tipping. The situation is that everyone can or does not have to give a tip in accommodation and restaurants, nothing is compulsory and nobody requires anything.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to bring cash: dollars or local currency in small value banknotes (min 5-10, -USD / person / day), suitable for souvenir, photos, evening drinks ...).
Wherever we spent some time in the 6 day safari, people were very kind, friendly and willing to help.
Overall, I rate Shemeji Safari Tanzania as a fully professional, hassle-free and secure organization, which I can, with a clear conscience, recommend to anyone (including families with teenagers).
Finally, do not hesitate! Order a safari now! there is nothing to worry about and the experience will be invaluable !!!

Amazing Experience
5/5

We enjoyed every moment of our Safari. Pemba our guide was so knowledgeable about everything from the animals, to the landscape, history of the country, birds etc. There wasn't anything he didn't know.

We saw the big 5 but went with no expectation to. I would recommend this to anyone

It was incredible! They were friendly and very attentive with us.
5/5

Our expectations of the safari tour were overtaken! It was a perfect and very familiar trip. Very well prepared tour. Our guide Michael was always willing to show us all the animals we wanted to see, and he was satisfying us with everything we asked to do. He is really passionate with safaries and animals, and that motivated us even more. And our cook Godson has super good cooking skills and he was delighting us with delicious meals, and also being very friendly with us.
The safari tour was simply perfect. We would even like to repeat!

Out of the world experience!
5/5

The planning was hassle free though over email. Right from pick-up to drop off everything was well arranged and they went the extra mile to see no discomfort is experienced.
Out driver and guide had good knowledge of the park and good sense where game was or can be spotted. He was polite and helpful.
We got to see all animals in a matter of 3 days plus it was great weather (no rains in wet season- so lucky). This kind of destination requires someone like Shemeji to make it all worth it.
