Shika tours have made it possible with very good rates and service
5/5

THANK YOU Manase for your quick replies and helping us to have a wonderful safari that will be a memoir for the rest of our lives. The package deal was the best price for what you get, and I can reccomend them at all times. We stayed in good camps and have learned a lot about African culture. A experience of a life time. Many highlights and we hope to do this again in our life time.

Perfect safari with shika tours
5/5

Thank you levis for this amazing trip to the Mikumi National Park. Even though he was not joining us on the tour our driver Mr. Omari Haule took very good care of us and had a lot to tell us. He was very fluent in English and knew every single thing about the park and its amazing animals. Also the stay in the Mikumi Adventure Lodge was perfectly organized because Levis took great care in organizing the whole trip. I would really recommend Shika tours to everyone.

amazing days with lewis
5/5

My friend and I had 4 amzazing days on safari with lewis. He's so helpful and he shows us so many diffrents parts of Tanzania. The beautiful landcapes of africa, the life in the small village, the religion, the massais and the culture. He look for us every day like a father. He organized everything. So we are so grateful to kwon him, he is a perfect guide.
If you want see more then just the big animals, shika tours is the perfect organisation to book your trip in Tanzania.

Overall Good Budget Safari Expierence
4/5

We booked our very short budget safari with Shika and they offer a great price / value proposition. We hit a few organizational snags while we there, which were all solved adequately and can only be partly attributed to Shika. We had a whole Land Cruiser to ourselves (awesome) and Sam was a good/safe driver and did a great job with the limited time we had.

Overall we had a good time and were satisfied with booking and the experience.

Tip for other travelers: plan in three full days, we attempted to do it in two (half manyara, full ngorongoro crater, half tarangire) and it was not enough time to fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Great Tour!!
5/5

Everything was perfectly planned to the detail. Everyone, from the owner of the company to our driver were so nice and open. Thank you for the best safari ever! We would of course book our next safari with Shika Tours again. Nothing negative here to say.

The review below is the personal opinion of Jana and not that of SafariBookings.
Never again ! Very disappointing service !
1/5

We booked a 7 day safari trip with shika tours. The correspondance prior to our arrival via e mail was very good - always received a quick answer. Upon arrival at the airport, we were picked up by the manager and were brought to a hotel - which differed from our initial iternary (no provided dinner, no pool, no info about the change). First day and night were fine, but things started to get complicated next morning, when the manager told us that we have to change the safari car due to a security issue. First we waited about 1 hour at the lodge. To kill some time, they to us to a tourist shop where we waited another 6 hours without getting any information. When the "new" car arrived we only had time to do a small game drive at a different park. Once again our iternary changed all over. We talked to the manager about the mishappening and he offered us a refund of 200$ for lost half day. It turned out that the "new" car had an engine/ignition problem which bothered us the next 5 days (the didnt start several times or broke down during game drive). On our last day, problems with the car got worse and we had a complete breakdown on the way to the airport.
During all the time the manager told us he understands our situation and worships our money. At the airport we finally met the manager again and guess what, he didnt arrive with the promised refund. Again, he asked us to trust him as he will bring the money to our next hotel on sansibar (never happened!!). After contacting ygain, he told us he will transfer the refund money to our german bank account (never happened!!).
By now, we are back for 10 weeks and he doesnt even answer our e mails anymore.

Great budget safari
5/5

We booked the safari directly with Shika tours and everything was well organized. They offer a great value for money. We had whole Land Cruiser to ourselves and and the best guide (David) and cook (Damian) we could imagine. David did an awesome job during the game drives and he could tell us a lot about the animals. After the game drives we were looking forward for dinner which was always very delicous.

We started with Tarangire national park followed by Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and we would do it again in the same order.

Up to the summit of Mt. Meru
4/5

We booked our hiking tour the evening before we started. Nevetheless everything was well prepared, the meals and the service was good and the transfer to and from Mt. Meru appeared without problems. Our guide was very friendly and helped us whereever we needed help.
All in all a good organised trip for a fair price.
