An Incredible and Unique Safari Experience
If you're looking for a safari that goes beyond just seeing the animals, look no further than Shammah Wonders Safari! Our 1-day adventure in Nyerere National Park was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to this exceptional company and their incredible team of guides. From the moment we set off, it was clear that Shammah Safari is in a league of its own.
What truly sets them apart is their team of guides, who not only have an encyclopedic knowledge of the wildlife but also possess a rare gift for making the experience both educational and incredibly fun. Our guides—Deodat Kimario, Maarouf, and Elihakim—were a perfect blend of professionalism, humor, and warmth. They didn't just take us on a tour; they invited us into the world of the animals, explaining everything from behavior and habits to fascinating facts that most tourists never hear.
Deodat, in particular, had an almost magical ability to spot wildlife from miles away and provide deep insights into the natural surroundings. Maarouf had us laughing every few minutes with his witty commentary, while Elihakim's calm demeanor and attention to detail made the whole experience feel incredibly personal. Their camaraderie was contagious, and it was clear that they genuinely love what they do.
The knowledge these guides shared about the animals—everything from the smallest birds to the largest predators—was unparalleled. It wasn’t just a simple “there’s an elephant” moment; it was a fully immersive experience, where they explained the dynamics of the animal kingdom, from predator-prey relationships to fascinating cultural aspects of the species we encountered.
Beyond the animals, Shammah Wonders Safari went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, engaged, and entertained the entire time. They provided us with great snacks, took care of all the logistics, and truly created a welcoming atmosphere that made the day feel like we were on a private, tailor-made adventure. They even made sure we had the perfect vantage points for every sighting, so we never missed a moment of the action.
If you want a safari that’s not just about checking animals off a list, but about gaining a deep appreciation for the incredible wildlife and the people who know it best, then Shammah Wonders Safari is the company to choose. The personal touches, the humor, and the profound knowledge of the guides made this an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.
Another great perk? The price! For everything that was included—flights, the safari, snacks, and a day packed with memorable experiences—Shammah Wonders Safari offers unbeatable value. It’s rare to find such a high-quality safari at such a competitive price.
We can't thank the team enough for making this safari so unique and unforgettable. We'd definitely visit again, and we can't recommend Shammah Wonders Safari highly enough to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Tanzania in the best possible way!

Best safari ever !!
What an amazing and unique experience!!! Our tour guide Dale was amazing and the rest of the staff were great people!!! 10/10 would recommend this tour for anyone interested in a safari. They got us as close as possible to the animals. A lot closer than I ever expected. Our guide would go off the path just to get us the best experience and make sure we could get the best pictures possible. They were super friendly and made sure we had the best time. I would 100% go back again and do it all over!!

Perfect
We took a two-day, one-night tour departing from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park. Everything was customizable. Everything was perfect, flight times, safari and accommodation. No time wasted, from the aerodrome the guide was waiting for us to leave for the park which was at the end of the runway. The bush, landscapes, animals/birds were everywhere. Lions, impalas, elephants, giraffes, hippos, and so many others that I don't know the names of. On the river side, crocodiles and lots of super colorful birds. The second day, we also took a two-hour walk in a very large river and a walk with the bushman who explained the wildlife etc.

Exceptional personalised Safari trip from Zanzibar!
Booking with Shammah wonders made our trip an exceptional experience overall! Justine personalised a one night Safari in Nyerere national park and catered to all our needs. He responded instantly to all my questions over WhatsApp and organised the entire trip including flights & overnight stay near the national park.
Our guide, Eli, was an awesome, friendly guy & had so much knowledge about the animals and nature! We learnt so much interesting information. We had an amazing time with Eli and shared lots of laughter throughout the two days! I felt like we became a family and was sad to say goodbye. (However, we will stay in touch with him!)
As apart of the trip we were able to visit a local Masai village and learned about their culture and lifestyle. This was an incredible experience itself. We also done a river Safari which was quite a relaxing way to spend the day.
Overall, the whole experience was amazing and we had nothing to worry about as everything was taken care of. The food was great throughout both days and we were lucky to have met some amazing people along the way.
I do highly recommend booking with Shammah Wonders as Justine will not disappoint you. We hope to return one day in the future!

Wonderful personalized safari exceeding all expectations. We had a trip of a lifetime!
We had a fabulous experience going on safaris in Kilimanjaro (Enduiment Reserve), Masai village, Moshi town, Selous National Park, swimming with horses in Zanzibar. Mr. Justine was able to arrange a very personalized tour, as we were pressed for time, but wanted to experience it all! He was very supportive even though we had to make frequent changes based on our requirements. While we didn’t have any luck sighting elephants in Selous, he personally made sure that we experience this in Enduiment. From coordinating the flights, to arranging very professional chauffeurs, even suggesting the best hotels as per our requirement. Mr. Justine made sure that my wife and I had a memorable trip. He even went out of the way to arrange a special dinner for my wife and I - when we requested to have a specific local dish on our last day of our trip. We definitely recommend Mr. Justine and Shammah Wonders if you need a personalized, tailored experience.

An experience of a lifetime
We highly reccomend Shammah Wonders. They offer high professionality and reliabilty in all parts of their communication and service delivery. It is an all over high quality product, some of the best safari guides in the area, with background as local bushmen, fluent english speaking, funny and very service minded. We had a Land Rover with comfortable seats, and a cooler with fresh water bottles included in the car. Lunch camp with lovely beef- and chicken dishes. If you want to bring some cold beer, this can only be bought at Selous air strip prior to entering the park. We were collected and returned to out hotel by a very serviceminded driver in a comfortable Toyota SUV with air condition. All summed up; Two big thumbs up!

Excellent and put you at ease
I got in contact by chance with Shammah Wonders after getting several overpriced quotes from TUI and Viator for a One day safari to and from Zanzibar.
Justine provided me with a very comfortable quote and forwarded on previous tour photos. Nothing was trouble for Justine and he responded to any questions within minutes.

2 day Safari from Zanzibar
Communication was good all the way up to the safari through WhatsApp. We were picked up from our hotel then flew from Zanzibar. Our bags were looked after for the two days we were away. We took a small Cessna which was exciting in itself and landed on a dirt runway where Eli our guide for the next two days was waiting. Eli took time to get to know what we wanted from the experience and although he made no promises, he delivered both days, Lions, Elephants Hyenas, Buffalo, Giraffes, Hippos, Crocodiles. Eli was great throughout, full of knowledge and tracked far and wide to find what we wanted to see, he adjusted the days to fit around us.
We also did the sunset cruise on the river where you can see plenty of crocodiles and hippos then a beautiful sunset.
The accommodation was great, food was good, far better than I expected so remote and staff were wonderful. All in all an excellent experience that I would recommend!

Amazing experience, 100% service oriented
The service provided by the people from Shammah Wonders is out of this world. I've been to many hotels and restaurants in Western countries, including 5 star superior hotels and Michelin star restaurants, and let me tell you that Shammah Wonders' service level is definitely up there with the best of the best for a fraction of the price.
We had a private safari, which actually was private from the beginning until the end. I double checked with Justine whether this was actually a private safari, because I received similar offers from other companies where it was a shared safari. Shammah Wonders had by far the best offer I received. I don't know how they do it, but somehow they have the best price, the best guides, the best hotel and a fully private safari. I'm not complaining. :-)
Our Safari guide Eli and the trainee Tiko were very knowledgeable about the animals and the park. They made sure we had a good combination of chasing through the park towards something that was spotted by other guides (e.g. lions hunting a giraffe), and being by ourselves in wide open spaces full of animals. The bush walk led by Simba was an unforgettable experience as well.
Some noteworthy highlights:
- We even joined Eli after hours to the local bar, where we danced with the local people
- My girlfriend was sick during the airplane ride back (not at all the fault of Shammah Wonders of course), and the Shammah Wonders taxi driver patiently waited for almost 90 minutes before we drove off to the hotel
- We got a free upgrade to an amazing room in a nearby camp
Don't even bother comparing this to other safari companies, you've found the best one. ;-)
