Safari 2014: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro..
5/5


After several days in a busy but certainly lively Arusha we left for a four-day safari. The first stop was Lake Manyara national park, it is a relatively small but very nice park and a good location. The night we stayed in a lodge where our private cook prepared a nice meal. The next day we left for Serengeti national park, a long drive but because of the beautiful nauture it's definitely not a problem at all. The Serengeti was living up to its reputation for sure. In spite of the many tourists who are at the entrance there are plenty of times when you're driving around all alone. The many animals that Africa is known for sometimes run only a few meters from the car, very impressive. The night we spent at a campsite with a nice sunset and background noises of animals. In the morning we saw a beautiful sunrise and we started day three in the Serengeti. After a beautiful game drive through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro conservation area, we arrived at the Ngorongoro Crater, where we had a splendid view of Ngorongoro national park. This park we visited on the fourth day, a very beautiful park with very different surroundings. We had a wonderful safari and we were well taken care of.

Best trip ever!
5/5

The four day safari with Shemeji Safari was one of our best trips ever. We visited three parks: Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was taken care of. Our guides were very enthusiastic and told us a lot about their beautiful country, the history and of course the wildlife. And there is a lot of wildlife! We saw the big five. It was very impressive to see a leopard walking next to our car. But the most spectacular thing was witnessing how a group hyenas attacked and killed a massive buffalo. During our stay we’ve stayed in tents. Camping is a great experience and also will safe you some money. If you have time, stay an extra night in Serengeti! Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!!!
