Gave us the experience we wanted
Very well priced and got to see a lot! We explored multiple different parks in northern Tanzania and got to see lots of different animals up close in their natural environments. Our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable.

Fantastic safari.
We went on a 3 day safari. We were picked up at the airport and taken to our hotel for one night and started our safari the following morning. Bariki was a fantastic guide, he’s knowledgeable, punctual and helpful and great company. Our first day was around Tarangire national park which was amazing, we saw so many different animals and birds, had a great packed lunch with an incredible view. On the way back we visited some Masai people and saw how they make fire etc. we got back to our accommodation about 6pm. The accommodation was was mind blowing! What an amazing place, waking up to zebras and wildebeest walking around the tents and seeing hippos munching away while eating supper. Sitting inside the tent listening to zebras munching on grass. The second day was Ngorongoro crater, another mind blowing day, third day was Manyara lake. Every day was incredible. We enjoyed every moment.
I WhatsApp’d a few times to ask some questions about the weather etc and got a fast response which was reassuring.
This was a holiday of a lifetime and everything was perfect. Thank you so much for making that happen.

Perfect organisation and a memorable experience
We have originally booked our Safari in the Northern circuit of Tanzania back in 2020 just before the pandemic burst and our travel plans were being screwed; we liaised with Shemeji who kept our deposit valid for when we would have been able to re-organise our trip, and finally 2022 was good to go. Communication in these difficult months have been good and we got timely responses updating us around the situation in Tanzania. Re-booking has been also easy and smooth and the original plan was retained and we received enough information for pre-departure. Also, they have extremely helpful and kind to buy for us a few bus tickets for the following stop of our journey across Tanzania.
The organisation of the Safari has been flawless and very well set, the vehicle was spacious for the two of us and we travelled comfortably along the bumpy roads of the parks. Our driver and guide has been super professional, kind and flexible to accommodate our needs; he also provided information on wildlife as we spotted them in our game drives.
All accommodation were comfortable, good, clean and very well kept; also services and food in the tented lodges was perfect for us.
All in all I think Shemeji is a reliable and professional company and I would recommend them with no hesitation.

Responsive, kind, caring, knowledgeable and inspiring! They truly want the best for their customers!
If I could give Shemeji travel 100 stars I would! They are the best company out there, have the best camp sites and hotels on their books, the best trucks, and the best staff. Everyone is so kind, thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable. They all contributed to help us have our bream bucket list holiday and made it a million times better. They allowed us to relax and took the stress out of planning. Their hotels are exquisite and well worth every single penny. The guides they use are some of the best and happiest people I've ever met who inspire you to do better every single day. If you are booking a safari use these guys. It was effortless from start to finish!

Absolutely wonderful
Thank you so much for a wonderful week in Tanzania! The reason we chose Shemeji Tours was because of the abundant information they sent us when were researching safaris, as well as their responsiveness. Once we arrived in Tanzania and met our guide, we understood we had made the right decision. The guide made us feel very comfortable, while helping us to understand local customs, and at the same time, giving us space when appropriate. Our guide, Godliving, was an outstanding guide for us, and we highly recommend him! We absolutely LOVED the experience and are telling our friends and family about Shemeji tours and our guide.

Thanks for the unforgetable journey!
We booked the 8 day lodge safari and would defintely do it again. The organisation and communication before and during our trip was very good, all the accomodations were perfect (very cozy) and beautiful situated and the game drives were absolutely amazing. Joseph, our guide and driver, spotted just everything! We were lucky and could see all of the big five.
We very recommend Shemeji Safari and say thank you, it was great!

Extremely receptive and communicative. Delivered as promised and more.
From the booking process with Emma to the drop off by our guide Good Living on our last day, our tour was incredible. Good Living, our safari driver and guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to spend 4 days with. He was informative with safari related information in addition to discussing local culture and history. Accommodations were beautiful, comfortable and beyond anything we expected with a safari. Service at our lodges/camps was outstanding, very customer focus and great food. The rooms were comfortable and located on beautiful properties where you could see and hear wildlife. Our boxed lunches were more than enough and delicious. We highly recommend the 4 day 3 night Northern Circuit where we were able to see the Big Five and much more thanks to Good Living’s experience.

Excellent professional and knowledgeable tour guide!
We went on the family trip of a lifetime with Shemeji Safaris! We can't say enough about our driver and tour guide Adam. He was courteous, professional, capable and his knowledge of animals and the parks was outstanding. He was patient with our family and all our questions. He always answered everything with a so much knowledge and experience. He pointed out animals constantly that we would have missed if we were self-guided. He was constantly scanning the landscape while driving through the parks, using his knowledge and experience to guide us to the areas where we had amazing animals sightings and experiences. At one time, he pointed out a grey heron eating a green mamba snake, definitely a highlight of our trip. He spotted a black rhino from a long distance in the Ngorongoro Crater which we would definitely have missed otherwise with our untrained eyes, he searched and searched the trees of Arusha National Park until he could point out the Black and White Colobus Monkey, found only in this park. At one point, on safari in Lake Manyara National Park, he noticed all the Blue Monkeys chattering very loudly high up in all the trees. The noise was quite loud, but we did not know this was a signal. He stopped the jeep, backed up and explained that there was a predator in the area which was why the monkeys were reacting. A moment later, a leopard popped out of the bush right beside our jeep! What a thrill! We got some excellent pictures of him crossing the road. Thank you Adam for making this such a memorable family experience. We will never forget it!
