Perfect! Definitely coming back
Best destination ever! go for it !
My fiancé and I have visited Tanzania in August. We have been recommended Shalema agency by a friend from our country.
We had a 6 days safari all included with Aruna, our guide and companion during the trip. We have visited the northern part of Tanzania, slept in tents and drove many km to see the big 5. We were so lucky to have Aruna as our guide, as he was patient, welcoming and always ready to go above and beyond for us to get to see our favorite animals which were sometimes hidden far in the savanah.
We felt safe and taken care of along the trip. The agency shared some important information about the clothing to wear, the budget for tips and many other facts about the country. The overall price was absolutely worth it.
A memory for a lifetime.

Best experience with the best operating tour
Me and my wife did the safari together for our honeymoon in July.
We did the tour with Shabani, which was a kind, patient and amazing driver.
We got lucky and had the chance to witness everything we were expecting to see, if not more.
The special lunch we eat are pretty good, and not just sandwiches like most tour.
Shabani speak a very good and fluent French/English.
This tour will remain as one of our best memory.
Thank you Joel & Shabani

Excellent and very exceptional safari
We did a tailor-made 6-day safari: Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti to the Mara River where we witnessed the wildebeest migration.
A fabulous safari, we were with Joël who has an incredible mastery of the different places and a lynx eye. We were able to observe paintings of fabulous animals, we received lots of information about those we didn't know or knew very little about. We were accompanied in a remarkable way by this professional whom I recommend to everyone.
Joël speaks perfect French and accompanies all requests. An outstanding driver on sometimes very damaged tracks.
Delighted tourists

The best safari operator we could have find
From our arrival (and even during the preparation before) to our departure,Praygod and Joël have been the best guides, driver and host possible. They changed a wonderful travel in a awaken dream! Our guide was speaking a good French and was always available for a question or to organize the best place and the best moment to find this animal or this other. The hotels were also wonderful! Thanks, thanks a lot Praygod and Joël!

Chalema Tanzania safaris, serious and responsive
We have just returned from a safari organized by Joël which went perfectly and which delighted us.
He is a trustworthy person who is very responsive and who answered our questions before departure.
We did Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti Park and Ngorongoro Park.
Our driver / guide Chaban allowed us to see many animals in their natural environment by being very close to them. It was a fabulous experience that will leave us with memories forever!
Its driving is safe and that is important given the tracks and roads in Tanzania.
At noon we had meals prepared by the hotels.
The lodges and camps were very good, one with the Tarangire park in view, the other with the sounds of roaring lions in the night..
On the last day, we visited a village and ate a delicious local meal.
I really recommend Chalema Tanzenia Safaris.

Just perfect!
Unforgettable.
I started asking for different quotes from various companies and, beyond the very well adjusted price, I chose Chalema (Joel) because of the customer service. He gave us his advice as a good expert in the area. We had read on the internet to go to Manyara and, with our 5 days of Safari, Joel told us that it was better to go to Tarangire, both for the time and for what we were looking for. It was a wise move to listen to him. He helped us with all the doubts and the management of the safari itself. He also helped us with flights from Arusha to Zanzibar, as well as various Zanzibar contacts in case we had any problems.
Once we arrived, Praygod, our guide, picked us up and we started the trip. We were very lucky because he drives phenomenally, he has experience in safaris and knows the animals very well (he explained the details of all the animals perfectly, such as the way they relate to each other, their curiosities, their food) and above all, his good attitude and positivity. He speaks English and French perfectly, it's a luxury.
On the other hand, we chose camping and not a lodge and it was the best choice because Erick came with us to cook. For us this was a very important part of the experience since we had a certain respect for the food that we could find. This cook is something out of the ordinary, we miss his food very much, the affection, the humility and the values he transmits, without a doubt ask Joel to put Erick as cook for you, it will be the best decision you can make.
They have definitely made my first safari such a spectacular experience that I am looking forward to repeating.
Asante sana Joel, Praygod na Erick :)
