Best experience!!!
October 2025
We had a wonderful trip with Shafino, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! This was truly an incredible adventure, far beyond anything we ever imagined.
In just two days, we were lucky enough to see the Big Nine: lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, and even crocodiles. It still feels unbelievable that we saw four cheetahs, including a mother with her baby, four prides of lions, and five rhinos. The elephants walked so close to our car that it felt like we could almost reach out and touch them. Every moment was pure magic.
Shafino is a true professional. He has an extraordinary ability to track animals, and he always knew exactly where to go for the most breathtaking views and unforgettable encounters. His passion and knowledge made the whole experience even more special!!
If you are looking for the best guide, look no further! Shafino is absolutely the right choice. He turned our safari into a once-in-a-lifetime memory, and we are so grateful for every single moment!!

The best guide in Tanzania!!!
We had an unforgettable safari tour in Tanzania, visiting several wildlife reserves and the Serengeti National Park. Our tour was a complete success thanks to our experienced driver-guide, Shafino. I want to express my sincere gratitude to him for the excellent results! He is a true professional. He knows the animals, their characteristics and habits, and is able to spot even the rarest savannah inhabitants, showing them the best angles for observation and photography. He also
explains a lot about the animals, the history of his country, and its local people.
Everything was organized at the highest level—from the trip itself to our comfort. You feel completely confident with him and know you're in good hands. He has 26 years of experience as a safari guide! He is a top-notch professional!
If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, I can confidently say: Shafino is the person with whom you'll get the most out of your experiences and emotions.

The most knowledgeable guide imaginable
Sharing is great! He is very knowledgeable about all the fauna and flora in Northern Tanzania and we have yet to ask him about something that he couldn’t answer. He also knows a good amount about the geology and soil!
Thanks to Shafino we got up close with almost all of the big 9! We were able to get within a few meters of all the key animals in northern Tanzania , no binoculars required. We have so far had 3 Cheetah encounters (8 cheetahs total) 2 leopards male and female (including one in the grass) and multiple male and female lion encounters!
Shafino knows Northern Tanzania’s wildlife like the back of his hand and I have no doubt that he is the most knowledgeable guide in all of Tanzania.
BEST GUIDE IN AFRICA
Shafino was the absolute BEST! You will not want anyone else to show you the amazing wildlife Tanzania has to offer. He is knowledgeable and fun to be around. Our trip was a success because Shafino was so attentive and made sure we saw the animals we wanted.
His skill and knowledge of the national parks meant he knew where to find animals on all our game drives. We would definitely book again with him.
Wonderful Safari experience with Shafino
We came as a family of 4 to Tanzania for the wildlife Safari. Shafino wildlife Safari has done an amazing job, given us a lifetime of memory. Shafino who is our tour guide, he is very reliable , very punctual and always happy to answer all questions. He has extensive knowledge about the wildlife , birds and plants in the national park. We learned so much about the animals from this tour. We saw so many animals from zebras, giraffes, elephants cheetah lions, hippos buffaloes hyenas and leopards , ostriches, secretary birds, eagles, and various species. and so on. The service, the food and accommodations are worth every dollar we spend. Highly recommend to go with Shafino Wildlife Safari if you decide to come to Tanzania.
