Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater
5/5

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.

Awesome Safari and Masai experience
5/5

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.

The best Safari company
5/5

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!

fantastic tour - excellent organization and a super guide
5/5

We had a fantastic tour and visited all the famous national parks of the Northern circuit: Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The organization and communication with Shemeji was very good, friendly and uncomplicated. We had a super good guide, named Allan Richard, who was very attentive, everything well organized on the spots, had a good view for animals and even spoke German. Thank you very much! We were and are thrilled. The experiences are unforgettable for us.

Amazing! Everything we were looking for
5/5

Our trip was amazing! It was so easy working with Emma to book the trip. We went for our honeymoon, and they tried hard to make it special for us. Our guide was great and informative, and knew where to take us to see what we wanted to see. We had such a good time. We saw so much and learned so much, and the food was great! We’re recommending Shemeji to everyone we know! :)

Tanzania 5-day Safar - Fantastic!
5/5

I have just finished my 5-day Safari tour in Tanzania. Shemeji did great job to organized the trip including airport pickup from/to JRO and extra nights at Arusha. Last year, I had hard time to book my Safari tour since I am a solo-female-budget traveller. Thanks Shemeji to make my dreams come true. It was a fantastic trip and one I will remember for many years, if not a lifetime.
Omary is extremely knowledgeable and able to find game animals, but more importantly, he loves all animals and is able to share his understanding of the animals and their lives with us. Our chef, Pius worked so hard to cook delicious foods for us every day.
We saw a pride of lions hunting, a very rare black rhino and her baby, hypos, a leopard in a tree a Cheetah under a tree. A elephant family walked right by our car. That was exciting. Camping in Serengeti and Ngorongoro were amazing experience too. I can hear the lion roar from distance. One night, there are 30-40 hyenas walked by my tent.
Highly recommend Shemiji Safari Tour! I will come again with my family.

Amazing Experience with Shemeji Tours in Tanzania
5/5

We had an incredible experience with Shemeji Safari and Tours, and would highly recommend the company. Not only did we end up seeing an unbelievable array of wildlife - hundreds of elephants, huge prides of lions, a family of cheetahs, five black rhinos, leopards, you name it - our guide, Elemis, was extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgable. We instantly felt at ease with him, and he made our trip both comfortable and fun. I would definitely book with this company again.

Superb: If I could give six stars I would!
5/5

Booking a safari with companies 4k miles away always brings with it some risks and worries (you only need to read the various reviews to see the problems that people can encounter) but I must say that in my experience with Shemeji I have encountered nothing but professional and excellent service. My mother, myself and my two children (21 & 24) booked a 6 day private safari of Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it exceeded all of our expectations; in fact, I fail to see how it could have been any better. This was not only due to the flora and fauna but also the painless arranging of the trip (Emma), the excellent accommodation, the superb guide (Freddy - a very knowledgeable and pleasant guy who clearly loves his job and who we very much enjoyed spending the week with) and the very reasonable price. This holiday meant a lot to us and Shemeji didn't let us down. Wholeheartedly recommended with many thanks to Emma and Freddy for providing us with a holiday to truly remember.

We had enjoyed our trip with Shemeji, well organized & high experience company
5/5

This was our first visit to Tanzania, a day at Each of Trangerie, ngorongoro, lake manyara and two days at Serengeti. We had communicated Emma earlier while preparing our trip she was very helpful, replying instantly, smoothly to our mails/questions. Once we had arrived we had a delay in our flight, we contacted Emma and even with a delay we had found our driver waiting for us. Our guide was Allen "the king of the jungle" he was informative he has great knowledge about animals/wild life even trees he is a high experienced guide, presistant to catch every animal out there, speaks german language and we had enjoyed his company. Emma had picked nice hotels for our stay in each park. We highly recommend Shemeji for having a safari.
