Reviews
Perfect organization!
We did 12 days of safari with guide/driver and cook, camping, in a private 4x4 for our couple. We were delighted with the team who accompanied us (Chabani and Erick) who took great care of us (the meals were exceptional!). The organization of Chalema Safaris was well established. We saw a lot of animals, beautiful landscapes and the cultural stops were very interesting (Maasai villages, banana plantations, Tanzanite and even craft shops). The only downside will be the dilapidated sanitary facilities in the camps, the price of which is disproportionate in relation to the non-existent services (lack of water, lack of lighting, doors that never close, nothing to put or hang anything on, etc.) . Fortunately, the discomfort was offset by the presence of wild animals even in the campsites since they are not fenced.

Very serious agency
We went to Tanzania in February to climb Kilimanjaro and enjoy safaris. Chalema perfectly organized our trip. The french speaking guides were nice and attentive, the travel conditions were very good, the food was very good too and the hotels in which we slept were comfortable.
Moreover, Joël, the agency’s director, was very flexible and did everything to allow us to spend a very good time.

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
