My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience.
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience. It was our first time that we went to Tanzania and Zanzibar. The accommodations, the food, the great friendliness and service were heartwarming. We have been with Travelbird, everything was perfectly arranged. Worth repeating. Thanks to Eric, our wonderful guide!

After payment you will feel poor but after safari you feel that you are the richest person alive.
Here are the reasons why I have chosen Shemeji Safari:
(1) quick replies
(2) a proper PDF offer with descriptions, pictures and prices
(3) payment can be made to an European bank
We ordered 4-days lodge safari for 2pax.
The tour took us through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro National Park, Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater. If you choose the same trip, you better take your warm clothes with you (I mean winter jacket, seriously)!
Our guide Patrick was very skillful driver. You will experience some African massage. There are a lot of driving on different roads.
Accommodations were incredible. Dinners and breakfasts were delicious. I didn't like our lunch boxes as I saw what others ate for lunch (pasta, huge sandwiches, fresh fruits). I am very picky when it comes to food, so maybe you will not have the same issue during your safari. I still suggest you to buy some snacks for backup.
It is hard to describe all the emotions when you see wild animals in their natural environment. You cannot leave Africa without going to a safari. I recommend to do the safari with a local guide because they will take you to the best locations. They communicate with each other by radio to find most rare animals.

Very friendly
All the members of the staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Felt safe at all times. Even saw leopards on the trees. All in all - lovely experience and can highly recommend them.

Great experience. Best regards to Joseph
Great safari tour with wonderful accommodations, delicious food, helpful staff and great guides/drivers. A superb experience. The only thing I would do differently next time would be to offer ballon / small plane transportation between parks and the lake manyara airport for transfer to Zanzibar. Besides that, an impeccable experience. Highly recommend to others.

Very well organized and friendly operator
We very much enjoyed our trip. The lodges were all very nice, clean, comfortable, very friendly staff and good food - though some sligth deficits were noticed in the maintenance of the residences. Loose tabs etc. what could be easily avoidable with all the staff being around there. But these are tiny cosmetic things. We had different drivers and guides. Unfortunately the one doing the safari was the weakest of all. I would have wished for somebody with better english skills as well as more background information about Tanzania in general to learn a little about the country as well But overall - it was a breathtaking, memorable experience. Thank you!

It was fine, not very luxurious, but an incredible experience
We stayed 3 nights in Zanzibar in the Zanzibar Bay hotel, then 5 nights safari in Tanzania, and eventually 6 nights in Zanzibar (Zanzibar Bay Hotel).
The Zanzibar Bay Hotel is just fine, the food is good and friendly personnel. It is not very luxurious. Construction and painting of the buildings was going on while we stayed there…
The safari was very good. Nice accommodations and a very good driver/guide called Libe. We were lucky and saw the big 5. Bring your water shoes when you visit Lake Natron. You will need them for the walk to the waterfall.
You also need water shoes if you go on the Safari Blue tour in Zanzibar.

An amazing experience
We had an amazing experience. Everything was beautifully organized, from the airport transfer to our hotel stays before and after the Safari. The Safari was excellent and Samy, our guide, was able to share everything he knew about African wildlife and the Massai. It will remain an unforgettable memory. I highly recommend this supplier to everyone!
Many thanks again Samy

Very well organized
We had the combination of Beach and Safari. 3 days beach at Reef and Beach in Zanzibar, flying by plane to Arusha, 4 days safari, flying back to Zanzibar and 3 days Reef and Beach. An ideal combination to relax and see the sun and sea in a tropical paradise, and action during the safari. A wonderful experience, well organized, always a warm welcome in the lodges, very helpful staff, and very reliable. Even with a flight delay the driver was still waiting for us.
Only suggestion: book the morning flight back to Zanzibar. Friends of us had the 10.00 flight with flight link and weer at the beach at 12.30. We had the 16.45 flight with a 2 hour delay and arrived 21.00 at the hotel. So we missed a complete day of the beach part of the trip.
Otherwise a wonderful experience and very well organized. Thank you for your good service

He was very friendly and had a lot of patience with us and did everything we asked him
Everything went well and we had a lot of fun on our Safari. Our Tour operator George was really friendly and he did an amazing job. He really cared about our interests and he answered all our questions and stopped everywhere we asked him or when we saw some animals. The organization at the Lodge for our stay was also very nice and we had everything we needed. We had such a good time and regreted it a little bit that we have booked just 2 days. The next time we will definitely book a bigger Safari for more days. I don't have anything negative to say but I personally was a little bit disappointed that our trip on the 2nd day ended already at 11am. When I booked the 2 day Safari, I thought that we will have 2 full days but unfortunately it wasn't like that. On the first day we arrived at 11am and on the 2nd day we left at 11am. If we look at the time we effectively spend on the safari, it was just 1 full day. I expected that we will have more time for the Safari, especially for the price we payed. That's the reason because my overall rating for the Safari is good and not excellent. But beside of that it was just amazing and we had a really good time.
