5 wonderful days in the Serengeti
We stayed in a luxury tented camp in the north of the Serengeti closed to the Kogatende airstrip. During our stay we were lucky to see the great migration of wilderbeest crossing the Mara river three times. Crocodiles killing wilderbeest in the river were spectacular!
Besides, hunting cheetas and hunting lions; what an adventure. But key to us was the number of 5 days we spent in one camp where we had ample time to experience wildlife and nature without rushing too much from oned place to the next one. So we appreciated many elefants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, even two rhinos!!!, antilopes, gazelles, baboons and many many more animals!
The Serengeti is unique and so much more adventure compared to other national parks. We hope it will be protected forever. Hence, we as tourists and guests in Tansania should be prepared to pay our share for this.
Our Tansanian guides and people helping us were so friendly and helpfull throughout our entire stay!
Great thanks to the people of Tansania for hosting us and sharing this world wonder with us!

Unforgettable Semeji
We found Shemeji safari through booking safari.The communication with Emma via email was good and fast. She organized for us 5day safari (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Our guide Edward was very safe, frendly and patient; chef Godson had been cooking great meals, he also cooked for us the african traditional food-ugali! We were very lucky for the weather, it was every time sunny, and we were able to see very beatifull landscapes.. Our guide Edward was able to make us see animals from short distances, expecially 5 Big of Africa, we made a lot of great photos . We aren't disappointed to have chosen Shemeji safari, it's a very serious and faithful company . We recommend SHEMEJI SAFARI!

Uncredible journey!!!
Dear Loth, we are now back from our 12 day-safari with your company and we are still enthusiastic about the experience! Brison and Osman were a harmoniously and very efficient team, so patiently and they both have a big knowledge about Tanzania and its nature and wildlife. They are calm in every situation and made us feeling safe and protected. Osman spoilt us every day with go od and plentiful food and when we needed something else it was never a problem for him.
Observing other guides on the campgrounds we could value the big experience that Brison has on safaris as he was tireless and the most important thing for him was always our safety and comfortable stay. Every day he cleaned the car and the windows, he controlled the engine and the wheels and in case of problems he managed them all.
We felt as in a family, they are respectful and we enjoyed very much every day.
We also enjoyed the contact with you before coming to Tanzania, all your informations were helpful and we were so happy that you managed the appointment to share a morning in Loamo school in Arusha - a beautiful experience we will never forget!
So, thank you so much for everything, we came to Tanzania as strangers but we leave as friends! Asanthe sana to Ilmaasai.

Excellent tailor-made safari with a very kind and professional guide! High standard and top quaity.
Since the booking phase I dealt with very kind people who suggested me the best safari according to my requests.
Our expectations have been satisfied because the lodge and basecamp were absolutely outstanding and the guide pampered us and made us experience a real private and unique safari.

Extremely Profesional with outstanding service
What a great Company! They are professional in every way with great communication. I will admit I was a bit concerned that they were not a USA based operator but with the communication with Maurice the director all my worries faded quickly. Maurice explained everything clearly and simply. Everything was simple and seamless from deposits to end! Our Driver/guide Muli Jones was a great ambassador as well as a Great guide and very experienced and very personable he is a great asset to the company. We were able to see and photograph the big 5 with the eagle eyes of Muli being essential! his knowledge of the names of all animals and birds is amazing!! This was such a nice trip im still amazed! the accommodations were all very good Moderate lodges and tent camps with very good dinning choices and amenities. To all Us travelers I would recommend using Africa Safari Classics without thinking twice! Absolutely no problems with booking or on our trip.

Fantastic planning, wonderful accommodations, amazing experience.
The representative met us at the airport in Windhoek as planned and did a wonderful job of helping us get our rental car and telling us what we needed to know. He gave us a fantastic package of useful information. Villa Violet hotel was lovely. Little Kulala Lodge was exceptional. The staff was warm, accommodating and knowledgeable and our activities were fantastic. I loved experiencing the skybed. I very much appreciated the gluten free food since I have Celiac disease. The landscape in that part of Namibia is spare, haunting and spectacular. We loved seeing different parts of it and especially loved the locations of the sundowners. Our guide, Goodly, was wonderful.

Memorable moments in Africa
We contacted African travel tour agency with open request to organize Kilimanjaro climb and Safari tour. Our main contact for the trip was Abraham. Comunication with Abraham was open,fast, timely and concrete. He gave us few possibilities and suggestions out of which we selected the most suitable. Upon arrival we were once again presented with 11 days agenda and at that point we met our guide for Kili climb. For the Kili climb agency works with group of very experienced and professional guides, chef and ports, led by Erastus- most senior and experienced guide (12 years of experience). Erastus and his crew were very supportive during the climb and provided everything we needed (excellent food, constant support, organised aproach and most important positive and cheerful atmosphere).During the Safari part of the trip we shared a car with 4 more people which was fantastic. It was wonderful with beautiful nature, animals and again good atmosphere. Drivers Hussein and Golden showed good knowledge of national parks and provided interesting facts. The food was excellent and same as on Kili one cannot stay hungry :) During the stay in Arusha we were accomodated in beautiful Nyumbani lodge where we got opportunity to relax and also get interesting information about Tanzania from the host Andrew. During the whole 11 days trip everything went smoothly and we were taken care of in terms of food, transport, accomodation and information on the next steps. Overall we would recommend African travel tour. Thank you for everything! We will never forget this trip.

Snowcap Delivered as promised
Snowcap was exactly as I expected. A mid-priced private tour for my adult daughter and I to the top of Africa. My reason for using Snowcap was because they allowed us to do the Rongai route in 5 days instead of the 6 day minimum. Snowcap is a tour company but they do not have their own dedicated staff of guides and porters. They outsource from a pool of approved and licensed porters, cooks, guides etc. Our group of 2 climbers required(?) a staggering staff of 10. This later proved to be a good thing because 3 of them needed to be evacuated due to altitude sickness from base camp (Kibo) before the (successful) summit attempt. The guide (Makashi) was very professional and capable. Snowcap ran the tour as promised with a few exceptions. We wanted to stay at Snowcap’s lodge in Rongai in order to get an early start to the climb, however on departure morning, we did not have our permit which needed to be procured from the park gate at the other side of the mountain......5 hours drive by public transport from Rongai. This reduced our ‘already’ tight schedule. This avoidable delay and poor discipline of the team to stay together as a team while in the trail (resulting in a lost porter) were the low points of the tour. The high point (quite literally) being the successful summit. Thanks Snowcap!
