Mike is an exceptional tour operator who is passionate about wildlife and goes above and beyond to e
I recently went on a 3-day safari tour in Tanzania with Shengena Adventure, and I must say it was an incredible experience! Our tour operator, Mike, was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived, he ensured that every aspect of our journey was seamless and enjoyable.
Mike's knowledge of the local wildlife and ecosystems truly enhanced our safari experience. He went above and beyond to spot rare animals and provide us with fascinating insights into their behaviors and habitats. His passion for nature and conservation was truly inspiring.
The accommodations provided by Shengena Adventure were top-notch, offering comfort and luxury amidst the wilderness. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating.
Overall, I can recommend Shengena Adventure and Mike highly enough. They exceeded all of my expectations and made this safari tour a truly unforgettable experience. I cannot wait to plan my next adventure with them!
Danke schön!
Honeymoon of a life time
This was one of the most incredible, surreal experiences I have ever had. My husband and I went for our honeymoon and Mike Hashim at Shengena Adventure made it extra special. We saw all the big 5 and much more. It was truly a lifetime experience and we can’t wait to do it again!!

A dream come true thanks to the passion and dedication of our guide
Although the email communications with the agency were sometimes a bit sloppy and unclear, they ultimately made an extra effort to respond to our questions and expectations. The efforts of a very passionate and dedicated guide made our experience eventually a dream come true.
Ebenezer excelled at his job. This was not only due to his extensive knowledge about every animal or bird we encountered. He was an excellent driver on extreme roads, was punctual and very professional, but above all had very good skills for dealing with different types of people. We felt heard, safe and cared for as he picked up on every possible question or desire and had an answer for it that pleased everyone, without losing his professionalism. You have the feeling that you are with someone who is extremely passionate about his activities. It was as he was not working, but practicing his hobby, passed down from father to son and supplemented with countless courses in different countries. This gave us unforgettable experiences with a long list of wildlife, birds and plants. Thank you Ebenezer. If we return to Africa, you can expect us back.
Dreaming of safari!!!
We had a great and amazing safari exsperience with Shenghena safari adventures. We went on a 3 days safari tour and we visited Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro and Tarangire. The organizer Mike has been efficient and reliable and he has perfectly organized our tour. We stayed a Marera lodge and Kon Tiki Serengeti tended camp; both the accommodations were excellent, but slepping in a tended camp in the midle of Serengeti has been an unforgettable exsperience. From the Moment out Flight arrived our guide Stanley, has been friendly, smilling and Always available . He made our trip an amazing Adventure. Stanley's knowledge of the local wildlife was wery good and we were able to spot a lots of Animals.

Unforgettable
A very nice experience. We contacted Mike, he answered all our questions and we booked with this company with an affordable price. Mr. Muri was our translator-guide and Mr. Makundi was our driver-guide. Both people were professional and friendly. Highly recommended. 😊

The guides from the travel agency are superb!
The travel agency unexpectedly changed our hotel without our consent. However, our guide was exceptional - responsible, experienced, and skilled at spotting wildlife. We encountered numerous animals, making this a truly memorable trip. Despite the hotel change, the overall experience was enhanced by our amazing guide.

Trip of a lifetime turned into big disappointment because of this tour operator.
Our recent 10-day Safari and Zanzibar trip with Shengena Adventures, managed by Mike, was a major disappointment. While we did see the Big Five, several issues severely marred the experience:
Poor Communication:
There were significant communication breakdowns between the tour manager and our guide. On two separate occasions, we were left waiting for hours due to miscommunication, wasting valuable game drive time.
Substandard Vehicle:
The jeep provided was in terrible condition, lacking air conditioning, with frequent breakdowns, and was extremely uncomfortable due to bad suspensions. By the end of the safari, the dashboard was falling apart, making the experience unpleasant.
Mismanaged Transfers:
Our transfer to Zanzibar was poorly planned, leaving us wasting an entire day at a hotel instead of enjoying the beach due to a late flight booking.
Failed Engagement Surprise:
I had arranged a special bush lunch for my engagement, but it was a disaster. What was promised—a beautiful setup with champagne—turned out to be a cheap, poorly executed setup with alcohol-free grape juice. Despite paying extra, the experience was far below expectations, though I eventually received a refund after several complaints. See photo comparison on what was promised and what we received.
Overall, Shengena Adventures failed to deliver the quality experience we paid for. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone, as there are many other options that would likely offer a better experience.
