Great memories
It was on the net that I discovered the Chalema Tanzania safari agency. After comparing several quotes from other agencies, reading opinions on each other, my husband and I did not regret our choice. Nothing to complain about from a quality-price point of view. Joël is always available via WhatsApp, even when our plane was 8 hours late, he provided us with the information we were expecting for our connection. We chose a tent safari. It seemed more adventurous to us, closer to nature and obviously cheaper than lodges, especially in high season. Our guide was called Ayubu and our cook Bonifast. Ayubu speaks French very well, is a great driver. He was even envied by another group of French tourists because Ayubu is not stingy with explanations. We saw lots of animals. Day 1 we did Tarangire, Day 2 Lake Manyara and a cultural visit to Mto wa Mbu village. The 3rd and 4th day, the Serengeti, the 5th day the Ngorongoro. On the 6th day, Ayubu helped us buy our bus ticket for Tanga and dropped us off at our guesthouse so that we could continue our journey independently. Serengeti public camping isn't great, but Boni has made it a luxury campsite with his fresh homemade bread baked over a wood fire in a pan. Breakfast consisting of pancakes, fresh bread, fresh fruit, omelet. The picnic lunch where even the wine was present with always meat, cooked vegetables, salad, 2 starches and fresh fruit. In the evening, it was the same with soup and dessert. Thanks to the whole team.

Marvellous !!!!
Wonderful stay with CHALEMA TANZANIA SAFARI!!!!! Family of 5 including two children aged 10 and 12.
Joel is really nice. He is fluent in English and French. He responded very easily to our questions and requests.
Big thanks to Keith who was our Ranger during these 6 days of Safari. He has a linx eye to see what others can't see.
the safari was perfectly organized. Security, well-being, excellent quality accommodation selected by Joel himself and full meals prepared in Latin even for our day. (the others envied us our meal when they ate sandwiches)
in two days we saw the big 5 thanks to our guide but I recommend a longer stay because all the landscapes are different and a multitude of animals to discover.
They are also very responsible for the welfare of wild animals so no worries on that side.
they pampered us from start to finish and we are fully satisfied.
we will come back to Tanzania one day for another safari and it will be with them.
a big thank you and Joel and Keith

Excellent team, who took care of us from the preparation to the end
Our family (2 adults, 3 daughters 20/17/10) was absolutely delighted with our trip in Tanzania. Joel helped us to build a "a la carte" journey (safari+zanzibar) and the execution was perfect. On top of that we were very lucky and saw the big 5 (and more) thanks to Shabane (our guide) and really enjoyed relaxing and snorkeling in Zanzibar. Thanks to the whole Chalema team who was reactive, flexible and so nice !

Competent, responsive, serious and safe
Magnificent safari organized by Joël, very attentive to our expectations and easily answering all our questions before the trip. He organized the safari as I wanted it, high end, it's a price but it was great and very comfortable.
The very careful and very respectful driver always tried to please us, sometimes additional explanations would no doubt have pleased us, but he was always attentive and caring. I therefore recommend this company with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed!

Magnifique
What an amazing stay! We took full eyes! We are still on cloud nine. Thanks to Joël for organizing these 8 days of totally flexible safari as we wished. Indisputable value for money. Efficient exchanges by WhatsApp.
The lodges were excellent, the food too.
Parks done: Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Natron.
Special mention for our guide Ayubu, very attentive and who answered all our questions.
We were lucky enough to see the lioness land next to the wheel of our car.
In short, I do not have the words to describe what we experienced. Just a word of advice: go ahead, go for it with your eyes closed!
Thank you Joel and Ayubu
