Incredibly organized, detailed, and an unforgettable time.
The safari with Shengena Adventure was an unforgettable time! As we were booking, Kelvin was extremely helpful and responsive to my many questions. My wife and I came for our honeymoon and they said they would put a Just Married sign on the back of the car and have local beers in the jeeps fridge- which they did and we got to enjoy during the safari. Then during the safari, Makundi was our guide, and he was incredible. He was always on time to pick us up, knew all the roads within the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and stopped whenever we needed him to for pictures of animals. He also helped coordinate lunch every day through our lodge and some additional activities we had planned. Makundi was easy to talk to, knew a lot about the animals, had photo ideas for us, and we felt completely safe with him as our driver for 4 days. I would 100% recommend Shengena and Makundi for a safari!

Profecional and caring
Our driver was in high level guide and driver. Car was very suitable for that safary. But not the first one, driver cange the car. The drive was safe. Drivers communicated with eachother and adviced to find rare animals. So we saw a lot.

Experienced and relentless safari guide
Spent 4 days with the safari guide, first day went to Masai village and then coffee roasting villager. Three safari days- first in Ngorongoro crater and two days Serengeti. Saw all possible animals and birds, roads are shaky so be prepared.

A beautiful adventure
Me and my family booked one week trip with Shengena adventures in Nyerere and Mikuni National Parks in the south of Tanzania.
The plan, the car and the accomodations were just perfect.
Our guide Michael was flawless: nice, reliable, punctual, careful, very attentive to our needs and opinions. He drove perfectly for so many kilometers without any problem and was very generous to offer us any kind of explanation: history of the country, animals behaviors, nature functioning and fun facts.
Without him our trip wouldn’t be the same.
So we really recommend him and Shengena adventures to plan a beautiful travel in this amazing country.

A wonderful trip except for being asked to buy gifts for the agency
We chose a three-day safari trip from Arusha, venturing deep into the Serengeti Plains and exploring Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide was particularly experienced and attentive, making our trip even more enjoyable. Overall, the arrangements were great.
There was just one thing, our travel agent Kelvin kept asking us to give him gifts, and I'm not sure if it's a custom in their country or not.
Anyway, we brought a headphone from China for him. In China,we don't usually ask someone that we don't know well to do something for one's sake . I found this request for gifts a bit strange.
I think asking for gifts from clients makes us feel a bit bad, and I think the travel agency should strengthen its training for its employees.

Nice tour guide, but very disappointing car
Our guide Stanley is very nice with all the animal knowledge he has and very informative with animals location. We had a nice time because of him.
However, the jeep is really in a bad situation. First time it was tank being cut off, so we spent 1-2 hrs with mechanics repairing the car.
Second time it was the some parts falling apart and the jeep is not moving at all, so we stopped for a repair. Thankfully there was another jeep going by and the guide and group were willing to take us with them and continue the trip for the day, otherwise we would have lost on precious safari day because the jeep was finally fixed at 9pm or so. We thought all jeeps are in bad condition, but when riding with another jeep, we realized how bad condition our jeep was.
Third time, the jeep broke down on our way to airport. Luckily, the jeep broke down in Arusha, so the company quickly had another car come by and pick us up and arrived airport on time. If it hadn't broke down in Arusha, we would have missed the flight.
We were lucky coz each broke down we were not heavily affected because the timing was right. But it could be more serious consequences with those broke downs.
Really need to consider again about the car condition.

Good operating company
I had a wonderful trip and was lucky enough to see the 'Big 5' (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo). My guide Stanley was very knowledgeable of the animals and the landscape and was a friendly and helpful host. When I had a stomach issue, he made sure I saw a doctor that was able to prescribe medication that fixed my symptoms. We rode around in an 8-seat Toyota Land Cruiser, which is the standard. The lodging we stayed at had private bathrooms, which was nice, and all meals were provided. Communication with the operating company was easy, I used email and phone calls.
