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.

Chalema is just the best !!! Thanks for all
Excellent experience with the agency Chalema, Jôel who manages the agency is very responsive to exchanges (Whatsapp) for the preparation of your safari, quotation, program etc... We went on a private safari of 7 days (6 nights) with guide and cook at the campsite. We have done 4 parks of Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and the crater Ngorongoro each park is unique and we liked the diversity of the many landscapes... It was beautiful, we validated the five BIG’s, it was a magical experience. Thanks to the duo of shock that we had, our guide Georges very kind, funny, attentive who will make you a wonderful safari and Bony our cook the best, thank you for the meals, Every day you have dishes as good as each other,you are served like kings everything was perfect. We also thank Chabani for the trip back which was incredibly nice. Thanks for this dream trip. Do not hesitate quality/ price unbeatable and trust the closed eyes of CHALEMA.

Top Tour Operator Tanzania
The safari went really well! A big thank you to our incredible guide, Chabani alias Chabinou, who spoke French perfectly and whose perfect knowledge of the terrain made this experience unforgettable. The food cooked locally has always been excellent: we were never treated to simple snacks, but always to dishes prepared with taste. The little extra of the trip was our two nights spent in the bush camp, in the heart of nature, surrounded by wild animals. Thanks to Chabani, we experienced an extraordinary adventure, which we will never forget!

An unforgettable safari with Chabani!
We had the chance to go on a 4-day safari with Chabani, and the experience was simply exceptional! Chabani is a passionate, dedicated, and incredibly knowledgeable guide. He gave his all to provide us with the best wildlife sightings and unique moments. Thanks to him, we experienced magical and unforgettable moments, surrounded by the beauty of the wild. If you're looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience, we highly recommend Chabani without hesitation! A true 5-star experience!

5D ascension Mont Meru + 9 D Safari
Joël organized a "custom-made" trek and safari for our group.
The preparation was done by telephone and WhatsApp exchange in French with Joël.
The ascent of Mount Meru was done over 5 days in order to make the descent easier.
The safari lasted 9 days spread over 5 different parks from Manyara to Lake Natron with the "Big Fives" there!
Our local guides speak very good French and are very friendly which made our stay very pleasant. Special thanks to Godslove, Léonard and Shabani.

Wonderful experience!
Hello
We did the safari with Joël's team a few days ago and highly recommend it !!
Joël warmly greeted us at the airport and explained the course of our stay very well.
Our very friendly, discreet and perfectly French speaking guide Faraji gave us a wonderful stay!
The small local dishes tasted during picnics and prepared by the employees of the different lodges are delicious. Far from the sandwiches we might expect.
You can entrust your stay to Joël with your eyes closed, you won't be disappointed.
Have a nice stay!

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

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% !!
