4-day safari: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
5/5

Our 4-day safari was the absolute highlight of our trip to Tanzania. The safari was well organised. We had an excellent guide and chef. The guide took us to the best spots so we had a good view. He also explained a lot about the animals and their habits. During the night we stayed at different campsites where you could actually hear the animals in the distance. It was a great experience! The chef prepared delicious food and the service was great. Everything was arranged very quickly and the safari absolutely lived up to our expectations! We certainly recommend Shemeji Safari & Tours!

Shemeji review
We had a wonderful safari with Shemeji. We took the 8 day option including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, hotsprings and visit to the Maasai village. Communication with the company was very prompt and they were keen to arrange the trip to suit our needs.
The safari itself was very well planned and ran like clockwork. Elemens our guide was fantastic, he really knew the habits of the animals and so we weren’t following the crowds but were often in a secluded corner of the park hanging out with the cheetah. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 and pretty much all other animals.
Our chef was also great and the food was lovely. Our safari included a mix of hotel, permanent camps and wilderness camping. This was a really good way to stay close/ in the parks and so make the most of our time. The added days at the end, including a hot spring and maasai visit were a really nice way to finish the safari. The village we visited was more ‘off the tourist trail’ than those at the Serengeti so the people there seemed very keen to meet us.
All in all, the trip was excellent value, very well run and organised to suit us. We would like to thank everyone at Shemeji for a great trip, we are looking forward to coming back!

wonderful 8-day-safari tour
5/5

summary:
-> exceeded all our expectations!
- Well-prepared Safari tour
- good cars and equipment
- excellent guide and chef, who really want to make the best of your trip
- good knowleadge of animals and landscape

We had a really wonderful safari tour with Shemeji. We did a 8-day tour from the end of September to October and visited the following National Parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha NP. On a additional day we went to the beautiful hot springs near Arusha and did a half day hiking tour to some nice waterfalls in the forest (also with shemeji).
The Safari in itself was well-prepared and good-equipped. We were really lucky with our perfect guide Freddy. He has a good sense to find hidden animals and was very good company for us. It was a perfect mix of staying in a "crowded area" to see some highlights very close and driving through remote area and spot cheetah, lion and elefant just on our one. These quiet moments were the best time on safari. Once we could spot a group of 15 elephants (with small children) for over 45 minutes on our one and Freddy did no pressure. In total we have seen so many animals and much closer than expected. Big herds of antelopes, buffalo, zebra, flamingos and also elefant, leopard, giraffe, hippo and many many lions........
We had a good mix of accommodation (tent, tended camp, lodge, hotel) and enjoyed most the camping in Serengeti and on the rim of Ngorongoro crater. Our chef Patrick was great and he cooked always a 3-course dinner for us. The dinner together with our guide Freddy was nice and we had good talks. We had also lovely snacks for lunch every day. We have seen big safari groups and they had just a prefabricated lunch box like on a airplane.
Organizing the tour with the company was easy going. Emma was very helpful and tried to include all our wishes. She is from Europe, but lives in Tanzania, therefore she knows the european demands and standards very well.

We did a 3 day/2 night Safari to Ngorongo Crater and Serengeti desert. It was a perfect tour, great guide, great food. We didn't stop at any shop or village like other tours. Nice other travellers and perfect contact via e-mail.

Fantastic safari experience!!
5/5

We did a 5 day safari organised by Shemeji Safari & Tours and it was really a wonderful experience! We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro; all beautiful parks with different animals and nature. The tour was well organised with good accommodation (especially the luxury tents) and great food. We had a fantastic time with our guide Freddy who is easy going and very punctual and who showed us the big five. It was all so spectacular!! It's an experience we won't forget and which we can only recommend.

3 day safari
5/5

We were in a small group with 6 People including the cook,the guide,and a canadian boy with his father. Freddie the guide was really nice,he could answer all questions about the park and the animals and always checked if we were okay.
During these 3 days we could see lions and elephants only 2 Meters away,that was amazing!
The food is also really good,for the last breakfast we had for examale pancakes, sausages, toast, fruits, ..
I really enjoyed the safari and if it wasn't that expensive I would have stayed for a few days longer.
