Excellent ! Perfect team !
Exceptional stay! Do not hesitate !
Chalema is a small, human-sized agency that made our safari unforgettable! They are used to bringing French people so know our expectations.
Joel (agency manager) is very responsive and gives good advice, which greatly facilitated the organization of the stay.
Praygod is an incredible guide who knew how to adapt perfectly to what we were looking for: to take us to quiet places. We were able to spend unforgettable moments alone with the animals.
Éric accompanied us for the cooking. there too we particularly appreciated his kindness and his culinary talent.
Nice team we recommend 100% !!

Safari 3 days February 2023
We left for 5 days with Chalema. Joël organized us 3 days of Safari in Taranguire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro parks. We also visited the village of Mto wa mbu on the last day.
We were accompanied during these few days by our guide Chaban who was attentive to our requests and desires. Chaban shared his many knowledge with us, he always made sure that we found the best point of view for our photos. It was a pleasure to spend this safari with him.
The places of accommodation were chosen with care (large beds, hearty and good meals, welcoming staff).
Joël is very responsive and available when contacted via whatsapp.
Excellent value for money, we will keep an exceptional memory.

By far the best and the most fun tour guides your can get
Chalema provided a tailored tour around the national parks and an amazing trek from the Empakaai crater to the lake Natron with a local Maasai guide. This was truly an amazing experience.
Our guide was very experienced with a great sens of humour. During the trek we were accompanied by a fantastic chef who cooked delicious food.
Chalema were also extremely flexible and were quick to adapt the itinerary when needed.
Joël, the owner was kind, and very professional. He responded very quickly to all of our requests and inquires prior to the tour. Joël and our tour guide speak fluent French which is a plus for French guests.
Thanks Chalema.

Amazing 8 day safari
We did a 8-day safari with CHALEMA in February 2023 and were entirely satisfied with everything: Joël immediately got in touch through whatsapp (also calling us in Switzerland) and listened to our ideas, at one point giving sound advice for improvement so that we ended up with a perfectly fitting itinerary for us that took into consideration the seasonal migration in the south of Serengeti (Ndutu) – this proved to be the ideal place for the most amazing sightings of wildlife! We were picked up at the airport by Praygod, our guide, who - although young (25 yrs) - spotted so many animals and knew exactly how to guide us to the best places. He was a great source of information for our thousand questions about life in Tanzania and a very helpful and friendly young man. We particularly enjoyed the local curries for lunch (instead of the lunch boxes with all the trash they produce) and Praygod even arranged a local Ugali dish for us. Our jeeps battery was quite weak at one point and the agency arranged for a quick replacement, sending one from Arusha to our location in very little time. We can fully recommend Chalema.

Shaban was that man and was awesome
This was an absolutely amazing tour. I have been to Tanzania and to a few of these parks before but coming here a second time was better than the first. Most people I see they travel in groups or with their loved one but I came solo and I couldn’t have felt more safe and taken care of through the entire journey. My guides name was Shaban and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable on everything, he was very patient with me, helped tailor the entire experience specific to me, and was just an overall amazing person. He was also someone I felt very comfortable with and had no problems sitting down and just talking about general life with him. On numerous occasions, I ate multiple meals with him and was able to have conversations with him not related to the tour. In short I’d recommend Shaban to anybody going on this tour.
