The best Safari company
Our safari with Shemeji was fantastic! Our guide Ely was the best. I don't know how he did it, but we were always on the spot where the animals were. He also managed to get our car in the best position, so we could have a front row view. He knew a lot about the animals and was able to answer all our questions. We even saw a lion eating a prey at maybe 5 to 10 meters distance! Still felt very safe alll the time.
Our cook was also fantastic. He was so creative with the food. We are both vegetarian and always had a very good meal. It wa funny to see how all the guests get popcorn before dinner and our plate was always the biggest in comparison with the other guests.
The communication with Emma was smooth and she arranged eveything fine. We could even store our big backpags at her home, so we only had to carry a small bag.
I would recommend doing the camping. Especially camping in the Serengeti was very special, because you just sleep in the middle of the park, hearing all the animal sounds at night.
Summed up, it was one of the best experiences we had in our trip and I defenitely recommend going with Shemeji safari!

Awesome Safari and Masai experience
Emma, owner of the company, replies quickly to my enquiries and provides detailed info of what we need to prepare for the tour. Adam, the tour guide, was hospitable, knowledgeable and diligent. We did a 8-days tour, which we visited Tangarire, Lake Manyara, Arusha, ngorongoro national parks. Adam gave us all a wonderful time, he had timely taken us to see the Big-five and other wild animals including warthogs, hyenas, impala, cheetahs, etc. Although it's rainy season, Adam had always found the sunshine and alerted us when we approach elephants, giraffes, etc. Our food, prepared by our chef, was wonderful, we had English breakfast and western cuisines at night... awesome experience for people like us who lives in big cities. The visit to the Masai village was a highlight, unlike some other tours we heard, no extra fees/ rip-offs when we visited the village, we did some dancing and the tribe taught us how to throw spears and make fire...
A huge thanks to Emma, Adam, our chef, and those who had arranged the tailor-made tour and made us feel so comfortable throughout. Worth every penny and will definitely recommend them to my friends.

Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater
We had two amazing days to Tarangire National park and Ngorongoro crater. The booking process was very easy and Emma was very kind to us replying all our doubts by email in a reasonable time. The tour was very well organized and we don't have any complain. Our guide during these days, Adam, was fantastic and very patient. Everybody could feel the passion and intellect in him for his work. Also, we appreciated the great food of the chef and his company during the dinner.
We would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari &Tours.
Off Season Safari Might Be Better
We didn't realize we were going during wet season (my brother and I did very minimal research). This turned out not to be bad at all! The parks only had a handful of other vehicles, and the conditions weren't too bad. We managed to stay dry for the majority of the safari. The tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, a good eye for spotting animals, and a skilled driver for the rough, wet terrain. Camping in the parks was so much fun as were the stays in the lodges. The chef we had also provided us with great meals throughout the trip. This was an overall dream come true at an affordable price.

Great Safari with so many encounter with animals
Communication was really fast and good - All questions got answered very fast
4 Day Safari with the Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was perfekt for us. It was interessting to see the differente landscape. And the best: We have seen all the animals which are possible. :-)
The guide gave us a lot of informations about the animals. He gave us the time to oberve the animals (not only watch, photo and go on...) This was really nice!
The cook was also really good (the food was so tastiness) and helpfull.
We were and are very satisfied and happy with Shemeji-Tour

Super!
We booked our 4-days safari three month before via e-mail. Emma was very helpful and answered to all our questions. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was great, like a movie! We saw thousands of animals and big 5 of course!
Everything was well organized (transfers, program, accommodations).
Our driver and guide Fredy was friendly and cheerful all the time. We enjoyed her companionship.
Accommodations was comfortable especially Tortilis tented camp and decent meals.
We are very happy for this experience.
This is memory forever!
I recommend it to my friends.

Amazing experience!!
My boyfriend and me always wanted to go on a Safari in Tanzania, we have great expectations and the were totally fulfilled. We visit Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti and although 3 of them are different, each has its own beauty. It is a trip that I totally recommend. Thanks to Shemeji we had Fredy as a guide, who was wonderful explaining to us everything, answering all the questions and helping us with everything that he could.
Thanks so much to help us to had such an amazing Safari :)

Fantastic guide and chef for a very reasonable cost
We did a budget safari with Shemeji Tours and from the beginning it was incredibly easy to facilitate. Emma was helpful every step of the way. It was helpful being able to pay with a credit card and she arranged all of our lodging (we later found out that the airport would have been a lot cheaper through her, too). The breakfasts and dinners were incredible, even though we camped the entire week. The camp sites were all fine--bring earplugs for the site at the crater. Our guide, Daan, was a blast and made sure that we saw everything on our checklists--even a Serval and python. The company seems to have a package that can meet anyone's budget and our guide really went above and beyond to accommodate everyone.

The safari of your dreams
You can't overstate how important the guide is in making your safari an enjoyable and memorable experience. Try as we might to stump our guide David, with questions ranging from the gestation period of zebras to the rituals of the Maasai, he had the answers. A guide needs a very wide range of skills: knowledge of animals, navigation, personal skills, how to position the vehicle for optimal viewings, and on and on, and David handled it all with a friendly demeanor and a depth of experience we came to rely on. We had so many amazing animal encounters and were so close that it felt like we were part of their world. The accommodations were all amazing in their own way, especially the tented lodges. We did the 6-day tour, and we'd recommend that length or similar so you have more time to explore and let the whole experience unwind rather than being rushed through it. We would definitely recommend Shemeji to anyone. You can pay a lot more for a safari but you can't get a better one. We had high expectations but they were all exceeded.
