Spectacular wildlife viewing
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.
Beautiful Landscape and Wildlife
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
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.

The safaris and the landscape are very beautiful but the organisation is most of the time very bad
The safari's in Tanzania are really beautiful. And there is enough wildlife to spot. I had three joined safaris in every safari i met new and interesting people. The gids are well informed. Even through not every gids is a good chauffeur.
My only warning is the organisation. A lot of so told organisations are really just one guy with a computer and a telephone. And the drop you bij friends of them to fill up a car. That's not a big problem but there is no structure and organisation. So you have to ask every day multiple times with car you have to get and where you're going. Sometimes you find yourself getting in three day in three divergent cars and in every car other people.

It was a once in a life time opportunity for me and I was not disappointed!
The wildlife was great, got the opportunity to see all that I was expecting to see. Our guide was terrific, don't think we could have had anyone better, thanks, Gilli! The weather was wonderful. The accommodations were great, food was very good, although accommodating my daughters food restrictions were not as well attended to as I would have hoped. Overall our safari experience was wonderful.

Amazing wildlife experiences, great accommodation and an awesome Serengeti balloon ride.
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!

Amazing experience in an unreal country
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
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! :-)
