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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

After check in internet where will be the best place to do a safari we decided to book it in Tanzania and still we think that we’ve chosen the best place, doesn’t matter if the price is a little bit higher than in Kenia, this deserves it

Better than I could imagine
Overall rating
5/5

We went to the safari with medium expectations. We thought it is important not to think that you WILL witness all the exciting things you see in videos and the companies say you'll probably see. Because you may not be that lucky and get very frustrated, even more when you think how much you paid for it.
That said, I must say our experience was beyond we were expecting. We saw many many different animals, including the big five (thanks to a last minute black rhino at Ngorongoro), a herd of more than 200 elephants crossing our road, leopards on trees, lions calling others and finding them a kilometer away (and then, hummm, having sex, ahahaha), animals eating their victims. We don't have to complain. :-)
The scenery is incredible, the beautiful trees, the infinite flat lands in Serengeti, the amazing views from the rim of Ngorongoro crater, all of it can blow your mind. We had very good to excellent accommodations, some good and some memorable meals.
About the company, all the contact before, during and after the safari were perfect. Good people taking care of your needs, special thanks to Caudence! And, finally, about our guide, Jeff, we don't have how to express how good he was. Funny, smart, experienced, knowledgeable, polyglot, you name it. Thanks for all and wait you to know Brazil, Jeff! :-)
