Wonderful
Nice service, prompt replies from the agent. The guide is knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time.
Great Experience with a great guide and excellent lodges
We started our experience with the pick-up by our guide Abdul. After providing us with initial information, we headed towards the first park and were able to get a little more sleep before the actual safari started. Abdul had great communication skills, knowing when to explain things and when to just let us enjoy the environment. We always knew before what to expect of the day and the housing, which made the experience even better. The lodges in the parks were amazing, the staff was always friendly, the food was excellent including the food provided for lunch during the tour. We were lucky to see almost all sort of animals including in huge groups. All in all, an amazing experience with great people during the entire trip.
A Once-in- a-Lifetime Extraordinary Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our private 6-day safari through the Serengeti and Tanzania's incredible conservation parks was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and a touch of magic that made each day unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, our guide greeted us warmly and immediately made us feel safe and welcome. His deep knowledge of wildlife, local culture, and the environment enriched every drive. He seemed to have a sixth sense for finding animals — we saw the Big Five, countless herds of wildebeest during the migration, a graceful leopard on the hunt, and even a pride of lions basking in the sunshine. The Serengeti was beyond words - vast golden plains alive with movement, from zebras, elephants, buffalo, impalas and giraffes to name a few. Hippos was big on my list and our guide knew where all the hippo pools were so I was well and truly blessed. Our luxury lodges and tented camps were exceptional. Every evening we returned to warm hospitality, delicious meals, and breathtaking views of the African sunset across the savannah. The blend of comfort and adventure was perfectly balanced — hot showers and cozy beds after a day of thrilling game drives made all the difference. What truly stood out was the personal touch I received from Neema Thomas, the safari adviser from Shemeji Safari’s who I was in touch with for 18 months, fine tuning this incredible experience and she was extremely responsive throughout the whole journey from my first enquiry to our last safari day. Because of Neema and our guide, every moment felt thoughtfully curated and deeply authentic so coupled with the luxury accommodation and the personal touches, this trip was without a doubt good value for money. If you've ever dreamed of an African safari, do it - and do it privately. The flexibility, the intimacy, and the chance to connect deeply with Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife make it worth every moment. We left with full hearts, thousands of photos, and memories that will last a lifetime. Tanzania is pure magic, and this safari made us fall in love with it completely.

The safari was a great experience. The process went smoothly. The accommodations were always very clean and the staff super friendly and accommodating. The food was also very good. Our driver was great, could speak good English and explained a lot to us. Overall it was a great unforgettable experience.

An average agency
The 8-Day Northern Parks Budget Safari Tent was an average trip. Some aspects could be improved to ensure a better or five-star experience.
The driver was an average driver, but they were not a guide. The information provided was minimal and they showed little initiative. Another thing that could be improved is the tour's organization. Some stops, like the Ngare Sero Waterfalls and the Flamingo Lake walk, could be combined into a single day instead of over several days. Their proximity, the easy walk, and the short duration of the excursions would allow for more time to fully explore Serengeti National Park and observe the animals.
Overall, the trip was nothing special. However, if you are looking for a special experience and a guide who provides at least some information, I recommend evaluating other agencies.
