Fantastic experience
5/5

Service was impeccable - our tour guide Onesma was friendly, knowledgable and went above and beyond to make sure we got as close to the animals as possible. Felt completely safe and the car was clean and comfortable. We were able to cross everything off our list without feeling tired or bored and had the best experience. Would highly recommend!!

Amazing service, Customer Focused
5/5

This was our first safari in Tanzania, and Shayona Safari did an outstanding job organizing every aspect of our trip. From the accommodations to our dietary requirements, everything was arranged perfectly, and the communication throughout the process was excellent.

I would especially like to thank our guide, Onesmo, for making the experience so memorable. He kept us entertained throughout the journey, and his knowledge of the wildlife and their locations was truly impressive. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, which was a highlight of our trip.

Onesmo is an amazing guide, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did to make our safari such a success. I would highly recommend Shayona Safari to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Shayona Safari Group offers professional, personal care that makes you feel like part of the family.

*An Unforgettable 5-Day Adventure with Shayona Safaris & Karim!*

​Our 5-day safari through Tanzania was nothing short of a dream come true. From the moment we started our journey through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, everything was executed to perfection. If you are looking for a life-changing experience, look no further than Shayona Safari Group.

​ *The Heart of the Trip: Our Guide, Karim*
​The true highlight of our trip was our driver and guide, Karim. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible he is. Karim is easily one of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides we’ve ever met.
*​Expert Spotter* : Thanks to his keen eye and deep understanding of animal behavior, we managed to see the Big 5 and so much more!
​ *True Professional:* He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure every day felt like a new adventure.
​ *Knowledgeable* : He didn't just show us animals; he shared fascinating insights about the ecosystem and wildlife that made the trip truly educational and worthwhile. We couldn't have asked for a better companion on this journey.

​ *The Route:* Nature at its Best
​ *Tarangire* : A stunning start with its massive baobabs and endless elephant herds.
​ *Ngorongoro Crater:* A breathtaking "Garden of Eden" where the density of wildlife was simply mind-blowing.
​ *Serengeti* : The vast plains gave us that classic African safari feel and some of the most dramatic wildlife sightings of the trip.
​ *World-Class Accommodations*
​The lodges selected by Shayona Safaris were exceptional. We stayed at Friends Camp, Zuri Camp, and Sopa Lodge, and each one offered:
​ *Hospitality* : The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail.
​ *Atmosphere* : Every location was peaceful, clean, and perfectly situated to immerse us in nature.
​ *Comfort* : After a long day of adventuring, coming back to such beautiful and well-maintained camps was a luxury.

​ *Final Verdict*
​If you want a seamless, thrilling, and deeply personal safari experience, book with Shayona Safaris and ask for Karim! He turned a great vacation into an unforgettable lifetime memory.

Great experience from start to finish
5/5

Our safari trip was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Ritesh did a fantastic job planning everything — he was always quick to respond, attentive to details, and ensured that all logistics ran smoothly.

A special highlight of our trip was our guide, Minda. He is truly outstanding. Thanks to his experience and deep knowledge, we were able to see all of the Big Five, which was incredible. What really stood out was his ability to go beyond the obvious — there were several moments where he took us to spots other drivers hadn’t reached, and it paid off in unforgettable ways. We got remarkably close to both a leopard and a rhino, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Minda is also incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife. He could recognize animals even from a long distance without using binoculars, which was very impressive. Beyond that, he shared a wealth of zoological facts about each animal we encountered. This made the experience much more meaningful — it wasn’t just about seeing the animals, but truly learning about them, and that knowledge came directly from Minda.

He was extremely punctual and professional throughout the trip. The vehicle was in excellent condition — very new and cleaned every single day, which made a big difference in comfort.

We were a group of 7 people — two families traveling with three children aged 6 to 9 — so having the right guide was especially important for us. Minda was a perfect match: patient, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable for both adults and kids.

I highly recommend Shayona Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized, seamless safari experience. And if you can, ask for Minda — he will make sure every dollar you spend is absolutely worth it.

Very friendly accommodating and thorough
5/5

We were 9 in our group. On arrival we were met by our two drivers and they had welcome bags for us and goodies for the safari. Our drivers were very knowledgeable and tried their best to make us comfortable and make our safari experience a memorable one.
