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.

Excellent, relaxed and with expertise
5/5

Our guide at Shemeji was very friendly, gave us everything we needed: seeing the wonders of the safari parks, including the big 5 and many more! His relaxed character, excellent driving skills and expert knowledge of where to look for rare animals gave us a great experience. With his help, and that of the chef, who prepared nutritious meals every day, we got something we will never forget.
At Shemeji you get value for money, personal service by truly kind people from this local organisation - that makes sure also others that aren't so lucky profit from what you pay them for their work.

What a great safari we had!
5/5

We did a 7 day safari with our two daughters of 8 and 10 years old. What a good trip we had! Everything well organised and excellent communication in advance. The trip itself we had a very experienced guide that showed us so much, including the Big Five and a river crossing of the wildabeasts over the Mara river. Our cook made excellent food for us, and seemed not to be bothered by the often limited facilities at the campsites! Car was not new but fully functional (including charge station for camera batteries) and perfectly fit for the job in this often heavy terrain!

Fantastic organisation and staff
5/5

Our Safari was super organized according to our wishes and the schedule was each time willingly adapted to new ideas. Emma was of great assistance in getting this trip organized, gave very helpful advices, ideas and recommendations and worked out a fantastic trip for me and my 8 year old son. The safari was very diverse as we visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron and also had the opportunity to do a bit of hiking in Arusha and Lake Natron. This safari met all our expectations and became a very special experience to both of us. The whole safari was very well organized, the jeep was well maintained and drove us 7 days through the wilderness without any breakdowns, the tents and camping gear were all just fine as well as the campsites we stayed on. A special compliment and thank you goes to José our driver and guide and Pius our cook. Both were very professional, knowledgeable, eager to make this safari a very special trip for both of us and both were always helpful and enthusiastic. Pius attended in an outstanding manner to some diet needs, even though he was not asked to do so. José is a very experienced driver and guide, gave us lots of information about animals, plants the national parks as well as about Tanzania in general and it’s cultures. We learned a lot about his country through many talks we had in the evenings. Thanks to him we got the chance to see many animals we may have missed.
Shemeji Safari & Tours also assisted us in the organization of our ongoing trip to Zanzibar, where also everything was well organized and the schedule worked out perfectly.
I would strongly recommend Emma and the Shemeji Safari & Tours if you plan to organize a trip to Tanzania.
