Reviews
a memorable Safari
We had contacted Joël, who came to our hotel. He explained our 4-day journey to us in perfect French, then we left with our guide Shabani and the cook Boniface for an unforgettable trip. I recommend this team and nights camping for the beauty of the sites and the proximity to nature.

Amazing safari in TANZANIA
Excellent safari experience with Joël and his team.
Safari made in the summer of 2022.
Everything was perfect from the contact via Whatsapp, to our arrival in Kilimanjaro, to the safari with our excellent guide Georges.
Joël and our guide speak French fluently and are very attentive to our wishes.
Safari vehicle in very good condition, accommodation and meals at the top!
We had a wonderful family experience.
The parks of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro are incredible and each have their own particularity.
Georges allowed us to see the Big Five and did not hesitate to travel many kilometers to allow us to see the rhinoceros.
Lunches are not lunch boxes but delicious cooked dishes.
Thank you for giving us such a beautiful experience.
Good luck

Friendly and responsive professional
We went on a one week safari with CHALEMA TANZANIA SAFARIS led by Joël,
Joël is ultra responsive, we asked a lot of questions before booking our safari, he knew how to take the time to talk by phone and by WhatsApp call.
We had a return within 30 minutes maximum, which is very valuable for any travel organization.
In addition to being attractive in terms of budget, Joël is a former driver guide, so he has a perfect command of the route and the organization of a safari.
The trip was just exceptional, we had the chance to see several animals, the private safari was managed by Georges our driver, the dishes offered and the lodges were of high quality.
Georges was able to meet our expectations, he is very patient, super professional and very friendly. We could not have hoped for better as a driver, he managed to find magnificent animals including cheetahs off the beaten track, we were just a few meters away.
What good memories!
I strongly recommend CHALEMA TANZANIE and I recommend that you choose GEORGES as your driver if possible.
We were super satisfied! Thank you Georges and thank you Joel for the surprise at the end of the safari,
It touched us!
See you soon !

Amazone safari
Safari lived up to our expectations!
We contacted Joel from Chalama about 1 month before our departure, quick response from him with a quote in support, in French (he speaks French very well).
We had to pay the entire safari before our departure, there was no problem.
The latter was waiting for us at the airport for our safari where we started with Lake Manyara, then Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and finally Tarangire National Park.
Joel is a passionate person, attentive to his customers, and who spots the slightest animal from hundreds of meters away.
The food is very good and in large quantities!
The accommodations are of high quality and the night in a tent in the heart of the Serengeti is a real plus.
I highly recommend this safari with Chalama and a big thank you to Joel!

An unforgettable experience
We did a 4 day 3 night safari with the CHALEMA agency, and we are fully satisfied.
In France, making contact was easy with very responsive exchanges. In addition, Joël listened to our wishes in order to organize a tailor-made safari.
On site, we were able to take full advantage of the stay since everything was managed by the agency. During our safari, we had Joël as a guide (there are 5 who work in the agency). By his side, we learned a lot throughout our stay. Both on the animals encountered and on the culture of the country. We were impressed by Joël's knowledge and his ability to understand the reactions of each animal. Thanks to this we were able to observe moments of life between the animals while other guides passed by.
Furthermore, I would like to underline an important point. When the majority of agencies serve sandwiches for lunch, we feasted on local dishes in large quantities.
Finally, if we had to do it again, we wouldn't change anything. Everything was perfect, from start to finish and I can only recommend this agency! Thanks again Joël and the whole team!

Listening, competent, we benefited from an excellent organization for an excellent safari
Listening to our needs, the program was perfect, the hotels well chosen and well placed, the catering satisfying and plentiful.
Joel knows his country well, the parks and the wildlife he introduced us to.
Traveling with children, he adapted and we enjoyed this safari with great pleasure, but also the discovery of the village with simplicity and without superfluous folklore.
