3 days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro
5/5

Sunset glowing red over a vast horizon-less Serengeti. Three male elephants walking across a volcanic crater. A leopard eating an impala in a tree. 3 eventful and fascinating days on safari in the stunning Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Wildlife: lions, elephants, hippos, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, impala, gazelle, mongooses, ostriches, monkeys, baboons, eagles and a far away rhino. And that’s just mentioning the famous ones….

Staff/Service: The guide was from nearby Kilimanjaro and was very knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and the geography of the Serengeti. An anecdote or two over dinner would have added something but he worked hard to deliver a memorable experience. Our cook produced tasty meals from limited resources.

Vehicle: A customised Toyota Landcruiser fitted with a pop-up roof was comfortable and ideal for viewing wildlife.

Camping: Not exactly luxury, but I would prefer to sleep in a tent in the Serengeti than stay in 5-star hotel!

I had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Shemaji Safari & Tours to any adventurous visitors in beautiful northern Tanzania.

Wonderful experience!!!!
5/5

I joined a four day safari with Shemeij. The safari was really a life time experience. The first three days we went to Serengeti National Park and the fourth day we visited the Ngorongoro crater. It was very beautiful. We had a very good guide called Elemes. He speaks very good English and took a lot of effort showing us as much as possible. We also went very deep into the park, to parts where very little tourist came. I have seen far more wildlife than I had expected. It was very impressive. I can recommend a safari with Shemeji very much.
I will always remember this fantastic experience!!!

A magical safari experience!
5/5

Since I stayed in Arusha as a volunteer, I decided to go on a safari as well. I did the 4-day-safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I'm so happy that I decided to do this safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours because it was totally worth the money and an absolutely amazing experience! The guide knew a lot of things and has been able to show us the Big Five and also a lot of other amazing animals (for example cheetahs!). The food was delicious and the time schedule was perfect since we have been able to see sunset and sunrise at Serengeti and that was such a magical experience! I loved these four days and I would totally recommend this safari by Shemeji Safari & Tours!

Excellent safari with great guide and lots of wildlife spotting
4/5

We had a great time on our safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. There was plenty of wildlife to be spotted, and our driver and guide Mr. Deo was very energetic. He was very eager to tell us stories and answered all questions we had tirelessly. We spent the night in a camp between the two national parks. The service in the camp was great, however I would probably have preferred staying in the national park or a bit closerby. The price of the safari is steep, but we understood this is the case for most safaris, due to recent increase of park fees. Emma did her best finding another person to join the safari, which she succeeded in, and this helped us getting the price per person down. Thanks for organizing, we had a wonderful time!

Shemeji Safari & Tours made our safari into an unforgettable and exhilarating experience
5/5

Going on a safari has been one of the best journeys I have made so far thanks to Shemeji Safari & Tours. The game driver was always friendly and helpful and knew everything there is to know about mammals, birds and wildlife in general. Furthermore, the food was really good. As I am a vegetarian I thought it would be problematic but the cook took my preferences into account very well. The camp sites were basic but this made our trip all the more exciting. If you would love to go 'into the wild' you surely should go with Shemeji!

Exciting 4 days safari in the 3 Tanzania's best Safari Parks
5/5

We found Shemeji Safari through Safari Bookings when planning our trip to Tanzania. Among the operators we contacted Emma the Shemeji Safari owner and she gave us the best offer for the 4 day package to the 3 main parks of Tarangire, Serengeti and Gonrongoro. The package was well described and explained so we decided to go for it. I am happy to say that the trip met all our expectations. The tour was very well organised the driver Adam and the cook Patrick were excellent the camp sites were basic but clean and secure and the experience of course is unique since the scenery and the diversity the animals and plants is one of the best in the world. The driver Adam was not just driving but was also very well informed about the flora and fauna of the sites and very professional in tracing and showing us everything. I would strongly recommend Emma and the Shemeji Safari & Tours for your safari in Tanzania.

Excellent Safari - Absolutely recommendable!!!
5/5

My safari at Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater with friends was awesome. Apart from seeing the big 5, experiencing the impressive Tanzanian nature and getting an adventurous feeling, it was fun being around with our guides Freddy and Adam. Both are so welcoming and really know the corners to go. Good job! Working as a volunteer in Tanzania I know, how important the support of vulnerable groups is. Shemeji-Safari is giving part of its profit for education and trainings for Maasai women, which made me feel even better during my safari. All in all we had gorgeous days and we definitely would book them again!

It was an amazing, enthusiastic, fun and educational experience
5/5

The best experience that my partner and I could have. From get go we were educated about all things Africa and we were shown different elements of the culture on the way there. Once in the park, we were intelligently told about the animals and the nature at hand. Not only were they punctual but very enthusiastic and funny too. The food was amazing! they even went to the extent to make sure that we were shown everything on time and catered to our every need. overal a good vibe. Will recommend it to everyone.

An affordable quality Safari
5/5

In June 2016 we went on a 2-day Safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We were happy with all the aspects of the trip: a knowledgeble and friendly guide (Adam), perfect gamedrives, and an amazing overnight stay at a tented camp between both park.
