Amazing experience in an unreal country
Overall rating

Tanzania has been a great experience and Shemeji Safari and Tours were very good to us, specially our driver and cook. The Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro has been one of the best experiences we have ever had. Congrats on an amazing place for adventure!

Amazing wildlife experiences, great accommodation and an awesome Serengeti balloon ride.
Overall rating
5/5

The wildlife and scenery where beyond our expectations. Weather hot, but not uncomfortabley so; accommodation was both superb and varied, making the trip more interesting. Food was both plentiful and of a high standard, with service to match.
Transportation was very good, as was our guide.
Highlight of our trip was an awesome morning balloon ride over the Serengeti, which though it was expensive, was worth every penny. Incredible sights and sounds, and even for someone like me who really doesn’t enjoy heights, was a breeze. If you can afford it and get the chance - do it!

Trip of a Lifetime
Overall rating
5/5

We had the most amazing time (even without our luggage for one of the weeks), safari was out of this world! We saw every animal you could imagine; leopard, cheetah, lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, giraffes and so much more! The trip advisor, driver and chef were really helpful, professional and kind. The people were so friendly and approachable. Zanzibar was beautiful and peaceful and was perfect place to go after our safari. The food in Zanzibar was incredible - fresh fruit and fish! We also drove in Zanzibar which was ideal to get to different areas - we were stopped by the police quite a bit but most of them were friendly and were just doing their job. All in all the trip was amazing and we are now in love with Africa and want to come back to explore more of it.

I had a wonderful safari in Tanzania. Starting in Arusha I went on a guided 5-day camping tour where we saw an incredible amount of animals and different landscapes.

Spectacular wildlife viewing
Overall rating
5/5

An awesome trip with an unbelievable amount of wildlife. We saw at least 200 elephant, 50 or so lion, about 20 cheetah, and a couple of leopards. We did see 3 Rhinos but they were a few hundred yards away. Included in that were countless zebra, wildebeest, impala, gazelle and buffalo, not to mention many hippo. All of our accomodations were very good. We especially liked Ndutu Lodge and Tarangire Lodge. We had lion wake us up each night with their roaring. One night we had a lion and cub right behind our hut making all kinds of noises. Our guide, John, was also excellent and very accomodating. If we go again, which I would like to do, I definitely would like to have John as our guide again. Overall it was the trip of a lifetime and well worth the time and expense.

Amazing experience !!!
Overall rating
5/5

I went on this trip with my friend Olivia and we have been talking about it for years.
We spent 6 days visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.

It was difficult to make a choice but finally we went with Earthlife and it has been a super positive experience. We were picked up at 3 am at the airport by our driver and guide Daniel and he stayed with us for the entire stay, drove us safely to Tarangire where we spotted our first elephants and Cheetahs. We saw more animals in Lake Manyara and enjoyed our 2 night stay in Tented camps with hot showers twice day.
During the entire trip, we had good meals and did feel completely safe.

Our guide Daniel has been a great 'travel companion' as well. He was great in spotting animals, explain us how they hunt or what they eat. He was patient and very kind and we also got to know how locals live and what life is like in general.

I can only say the very best about our experience and Deo has done a great job organizing all of that for us !!

Ultimate destination for wildlife lovers
Overall rating
5/5

We visited TANZANIA in January 2018. The place covered were Lake Manyarra, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti, and Ndutu. We booked through Safaribookings and I must say it was a wise decision. Our operator Earthlife Expedition delivered all which was promised. I routinely conduct a photographer tour in East Africa since 2014, and I must acknowledge that this was my best tour as organiser. Apart from enjoying the wide variety of Wildlife, the smooth flow of the itinerary and great hospitality provided by all camps was just heartening.
I definitely recommend TANZANIA to everyone.
Already, I have booked my safari group to visit TANZANIA in February 2019. And hope to explore its beauty once again.

Perfect 3 days safari
Overall rating
5/5

Me and my husband did 3 days safari at Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater an Lake Manyara NP with Migtation Venture Africa. All three parks are different but very beautiful with loads of animals and birds.
Weather was just perfect, around +27 °C. No need for long sleeves, trousers or boots.
We had very profesional, friendly and patient guide Anderson. After a while he knew where and when to stopp a car to take best pictures of animals.
Accomodation was in a tented camp. It was basic but there was everything we needed.

Amazing African experience
Overall rating
5/5

My first safari experience was indeed a wonder, we have visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro Crater as planned, and National park Tarangire, which was not originally in the plan, but our guide changed it according to update on animal quantity, which we were very grateful for! Tarangire NP was great, even though its area is relatively small, the richness of wildlife was enormous, number of elephants was the highest I have ever seen!!!
We have been staying in tents for the whole time, which was very adventurous, unfortunately there was quite a lot of rain during the nights and in Serengeti park there was quite some water coming through the bottom of our tent. Due to that we did not sleep that much that night, but the morning animal watching compensated it hundred percent, the chance to see the cheetah family on one side of the road and lion family on the other side was just stunning!
We were very grateful for the services of our guide China, who was very helpful and always did everything he could for us to have the best pictures and told us many interesting things about the area and the animals we saw.
We also had our cook to prepare meals for us everyday, which was very nice. Since we have chosen the budget form of safari, this was quite, what we have been expecting. Only thing was that our stomach were obviously not that expecting that and this made some of the meals difficultly digestible. Together with the one wet night in Serengeti made the day really an adventure, which was not super pleasure.
However, as I was saying, the animals and the nature were so stunning, that we were able to go through everything.
