Highly recommended!
5/5

I highly recommend Chalema for your safari bookings in Tanzania.

I booked a 9 day trip with Chalema Tanzania Safaris for February and had a great experience. I found them via safaribookings.com. Husna from the Chalema team was the travel advisor I worked with and she was very prompt in responding and providing me with multiple quotes based on my request.

My group was lucky enough to get the whole jeep to ourselves. No sharing the trip with strangers. Our assigned safari guide Harouna was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and ensured we had a great time. We were able to see the big 5 of Africa within our 5 days of game drives. It is true when people say the guide can make or break the trip. Our guide was very accommodating and catered to our request. Each morning, the jeep would come cleaned and ready for the day, which was very appreciated.

All the lodges and jungle camps that we stayed at were excellent. Good breakfast was available everyday and we were provided with packed lunches to eat during the game drives.

Just a few things to ensure you have a great trip :
- Double check the inclusions. Sometimes the included amenities are limited and not very clearly described in the quote. So talk to your travel advisor to ensure you understand the things and services that are included.
- Binoculars are not always available in the safari jeep, so carry your own. These are very helpful to see the animals up close.

Expert guide, great food, and extra comfort
5/5

We were more than satisfied with our safari with Chalema. Communication was prompt, and they were flexible with the schedule.
Our special thanks go to our driver, Barnabas! He has deep knowledge of animals and their habits, and knows exactly where and when to find them. Barnabas is also a highly experienced driver who can handle rough dirt roads while spotting even small animals from a big distance at the same time. He was always willing to stop for a good shot or change position to get a better view. He shared a ton of information on zoology and geology with us, his explanations were truly profound.
Lunch was always a highlight of the day. While other groups had only a simple sandwich and a not-so-fresh apple, we enjoyed delicious meals with meat, chicken, pasta, and vegetables. Barnabas also brought a thermos of hot water for tea and coffee, along with sweets or cookies for dessert.
All in all, the safari was an amazing experience and far more comfortable than we could have expected.

An Unforgettable 9-Day Safari in Tanzania
5/5

We were fortunate to experience a complete and diverse 9-day safari with Chalema Tanzania Safaris. The itinerary was perfectly organized, combining different parks and landscapes:

- Tarangire: our first immersion, with majestic elephants and iconic baobabs.
- Ngorongoro Crater: a magical day in this one-of-a-kind site, teeming with wildlife.
- Serengeti (Central, South, and North, Mara River): several days in the heart of the endless plains, witnessing the Great Migration and observing big cats.
- Lake Natron: stunning volcanic landscapes, waterfall hikes, and encounters with the Maasai people.

Altogether, we explored four major parks and spent full days on safari, striking the perfect balance between wildlife discovery, cultural immersion, and relaxation in comfortable lodges.

Unforgettable experience!
5/5

We organized our 3-day safari with Joël: an incredible and unforgettable experience! We were picked up directly at the airport by Joël and our incredible guide for the trip: Harun. He is extremely knowledgeable about animal behavior, the fauna, and flora of Tanzania's thousands of hectares of parks. He speaks fluent French, and, above all, is extremely kind. He made sure we had a wonderful stay; we searched for all the animals, without being stuck with other tourist vehicles. The 4x4 is very comfortable, spacious, and really well-appointed, allowing us to fully enjoy the activity and rest during the drive to the Serengeti (even if this is difficult when the landscapes are so varied and the journey itself offers a safari and total immersion in the local culture).
We stayed at Embalakai, in magnificent and spacious tents, right in the heart of the savannah and the treasures this environment offers! We were lucky enough to be woken up early in the morning by a hyena and lion fight in the distance. The food served for the three days was excellent! A magical experience, which we recommend to everyone. We 10000% recommend the Chalema agency. Harun is an excellent guide, a big thank you to him! Joël is very professional, he greeted us upon our arrival, also, he made a point of seeing us upon our return before our flight. Many thanks to him for this wonderful trip.

Magnificent trip with Chalema Tanzania
5/5

I just returned from Tanzania, a trip organized beforehand by a local agency with Joël from Chalema Tanzania. The trip was exceptional. We were taken care of upon our arrival at the airport. We spent 5 days on safari and 4 days dedicated to local life, tribes (I sometimes had the impression of being in a RV in an unknown land).
The choice of hotels made by Joël is faultless. The food was also good. The car in impeccable condition. Our guide driver was Chabany. We saw thousands of animals.
I have traveled quite a bit and this trip is in the top 3!
I can only recommend Joël for this wonderful trip, thank you Joël!
We finished in Zanzibar for a few days, same paradise.
