Best company and Beautiful country
We just finished our group tour of 4persons for 10dayz, and honestly every body was happy during the trip.
The car was clean, drivers are professional and hotel choice was perfect with best views from dinning places. sometimes monkeys would come closer to the restuarant during breakfast time.
Justus delivered all the promises and everyone was amazed of gorilla trekking and lastly we had a grand coctail dinner at hotel in entebbe area before our departure.
The company is reliable and locally owned true Ugandans. You guys just made it "10/10"

Amazing - Fantastic - They give you the Best experience you can get
We are so extremely satisfied!
I can just say - If you like to go on safari, book with Shemeji.
From the beginning they have done everything to make the perfect safari for us. Quick replay and very good service.
They have listen to what we want to experience. They gave us suggestions and they arranged the best safari for us, we could not get any better.
We have been at safari in both Kenya and South Africa before, this safari in Tanzania was really really good.
We are 2 families traveling together, this time 11 adults, and Shemeji managed excellent to arrange safari even if we where a big group like this.
We had 2 big land cruiser jeep, good space for all of us, even to be standing up to see the animals.
My family had Ben as a guide and driver, the other family had Omari. They are both so nice and knowledgeable. I got the feeling that they really did everything to give us the best. They both have humor, a lot of knowledge and We enjoyed every minute together with them.
We give them, 5 stars of 5!!
We have been at safari before, but never seen a leopard, that was a big wish for us.
Ben & Omari did everything to give us that experience, and succeeded! A leopard mom with a baby. But even if they had not succeeded with the leopard, they had got the same rate - 5 stars of 5!
Emma, at Shemeji safari & tours, recommended us to stay at Tortilis camp, we were a bit worry to stay at a camp so close to the animals, but it was all over our expectations! So nice place and all staff there were excellent. Even the food was really good.
When we had left Tortilis, I found out that I had forgot my camera charger and battery at the camp, About 20 - 30 minutes drive I get on it.
I had just confused me with that feeling to be out of my camera the rest of our safari.
But Ben just told me that he will fix it, he tried to find a car coming with it, but didn't find any.
He went back to Tortilis and I got my charger and the battery!
We also stayed at Simba lodge Tarangire and Simba lodge Karatu, it was really nice lodges with a small pool area. Recommend that too.
Everything have been amazing!
Would you like to have a really good safari - Go with Shemeji Safari & Tours!

The perfect option for amazing safari experiences
When I was looking for Safari tour in Kenya by safaribooking.com, I was confused because of too many company and similar information each other. But, I selected East Africa Tours and Safaris(E.A.T.S) because I can easily ask information & requirement and they immediately responded to me by E-mail and What's app. So, I easily arranged my schedule by E.A.T.S.
I think that Safari tour in Masai-mara or other spot is similar because you just take a similar car and similar route and similar accommodation same as other tourist. Most of all, communication to Safari company is important. When my luggage delayed from Bangkok, when I was looking for 1-day tour in Nairobi because of I stayed 1 day more in Nairobi, I could easily do it all by E.A.T.S.
I strongly recommend E.A.T.S to everyone. Have a amazing safari experiences with E.A.T.S.

A remarkable safari, you won't forget.
We went on a four days, three nights Safari with Stanley and Soko Four including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro NP in February 2018.
The safari was very well organised and Stanley is a great guide, who knows very much about the wildlife in Tanzania. We saw a lot of animals, including the big five and were fully satisfied. At the NPs we had a lot time to find and oberserve the animals. If you are on the road with Stanley you will experience how much he likes the nature and the animals. He is a nature lover and cares about the nature and animals and treat them with respect. Besides the great experience on the road, the equipment (4 x 4 vehicle, tents and sleeping bags) were fine and the food very tasty (thanks to Soko Four).
All in one a very good deal and highly recommendable. It did not felt like just another safari to Stanley for us, but like he wants to show us the wildlife of his country with pride, which it really deserves.

Great experience!
We booked a 10 day safari for 5 people, and traveled to Seronera, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. We just returned and had a wonderful trip with Sunny Safaris. Our guide, Raphael, was amazing! He seemed to have a knack for finding animals that no other drivers had seen. We had hoped to see a few lions and maybe a cheetah - we ended up seeing almost 40 lions and at least 3 cheetahs up close. Raphael was very informative, friendly, and easy to talk to. He listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly.
Our cook, Chalice, was also great! He came up with some really amazing food, even when we camped at the special camp in Ndutu with no running water and no electricity. He was very attentive to what we liked and didn't like, and always made sure we had plenty of great food to eat (his samosas and soups were the best!).
Booking the trip was also very easy - we corresponded via email with Masha, who was always quick to answer any questions, and helped set up a personalized itinerary for us.
We had a great experience with Sunny Safaris, and would recommend this company to anyone looking to book a safari. Ask for Raphael (driver/guide) and Chalice (cook)!

Amazing, well organized, fantastic safari!
Our experience with World Air and Travel was seamless from the start. Elias was responsive, information and extremely helpful. John, our guide and driver was amazing. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and an incredible resource for us. The accommodations were varied but generally outstanding. We used WATT on the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. We did the northern circuit and Zanzibar but I'm sure they just as efficient and experienced in other areas. Would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about a safari to Tanzania.
12 days photographic trip to Kruger National Park
The wildlife in the park at times was a bit sparse, which could have been because of the drought when i was there but we always found something around the next corner, but mostly plenty of animals around.The first few hours every morning was the most productive.The accommodation was clean and tidy. At Oilfants it worth getting a bungalow with a view of the river. You could get what you needed from the shops (milk, bread, meat, sweats). The restaurants where fine, not a lot of options but the steaks where the most consistent over 4 camps and was cooked perfectly.I would highly recommend a self drive trip to the Kruger Park, and staying 2 to 3 nights in each camp so you can get the most from each area.The weather was around 26 to 36c most days with one night off rain. To get the best from a trip to Kruger you need to put the time in and keep looking and at times just stop and just wait.

An awesome lifetime experience.
We traveled to South Africa on the Queen Mary 2 (from Southampton) and upon arrival in Cape Town we were treated to an absolutely splendid view from the sea of Table Mountain and the city. We spent several days on Cape Town and were thoroughly impressed with the city and its surroundings (but not the water shortage......). We took a day tour to Stellenbosch (booked online with “WineFlies”) and were impressed with the quality of the guide and - of course - the wine. We drove up the east coast, staying in Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth. From PE we did a self-drive tour of the Addo elephant reserve. It was outstanding. We then headed further north, staying in Umtata, Umhlaga, and Richards Bay/Empangeni (an important family location). All hotels were excellent, and reasonably priced. stayed near Newcastle at a first rate recently-built hotel - Vulintaba - which is surrounded by mountains and next to a brand new golf course. Worth the detour.
Our final destination was Joburg. We had fortunately booked a hotel in Rosebank, because that is where the hop-on hop-off leaves from (well worth it for those, like us, new to Joburg). The highlight in Joburg was the Apartheid Museum. Very well done, and very moving. It should be visited by anyone going to Joburg.
Our final four days were on the safari that we had booked online with Jewel of Africa, having first browsed your very useful website. Because we had driven nearly 4,000kms since our arrival in Cape Town, it was important to book a safari that included flights from Joburg to Hoedsprit, and not more driving. Jewel of Africa delivered in spades. Staff were helpful throughout the booking process (including difficulties paying in Rand through Visa). They were especially helpful when, on the day of our departure on safari, the airline we were booked on (CEMair) ran into “operational difficulties” (they had safety issues.....). We stayed at Phelwana lodge in a brand new “tent”next to a dam with hippos. At 5pm on the first day we were toured around the property and saw many animals. The first full day was spent at Kruger NP. Our guide (from Tally-Ho) was excellent, very well informed, and extremely helpful. The second day we toured Manyuleti, a private reserve with open fences to Kruger. Lots of off-road driving - which brought us within feet of prides of lions, leopards, elephants etc. Really amazing! Our booking was all-inclusive, and the food and wine at Phelwana were extremely good. Jewel of Africa did an outstanding job. I recommend them highly.
Bottom line? South Africa and its people, scenery, accommodations and food are superb!
