A Once-in- a-Lifetime Extraordinary Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our private 6-day safari through the Serengeti and Tanzania's incredible conservation parks was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and a touch of magic that made each day unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, our guide greeted us warmly and immediately made us feel safe and welcome. His deep knowledge of wildlife, local culture, and the environment enriched every drive. He seemed to have a sixth sense for finding animals — we saw the Big Five, countless herds of wildebeest during the migration, a graceful leopard on the hunt, and even a pride of lions basking in the sunshine. The Serengeti was beyond words - vast golden plains alive with movement, from zebras, elephants, buffalo, impalas and giraffes to name a few. Hippos was big on my list and our guide knew where all the hippo pools were so I was well and truly blessed. Our luxury lodges and tented camps were exceptional. Every evening we returned to warm hospitality, delicious meals, and breathtaking views of the African sunset across the savannah. The blend of comfort and adventure was perfectly balanced — hot showers and cozy beds after a day of thrilling game drives made all the difference. What truly stood out was the personal touch I received from Neema Thomas, the safari adviser from Shemeji Safari’s who I was in touch with for 18 months, fine tuning this incredible experience and she was extremely responsive throughout the whole journey from my first enquiry to our last safari day. Because of Neema and our guide, every moment felt thoughtfully curated and deeply authentic so coupled with the luxury accommodation and the personal touches, this trip was without a doubt good value for money. If you've ever dreamed of an African safari, do it - and do it privately. The flexibility, the intimacy, and the chance to connect deeply with Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife make it worth every moment. We left with full hearts, thousands of photos, and memories that will last a lifetime. Tanzania is pure magic, and this safari made us fall in love with it completely.

⸻ Unforgettable Safari Experience with Shemeji and Our Incredible Guide Hamis Barie
From start to finish, our safari in Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable. We booked through Shemeji Safari, and Neema Thomas ensured that every detail was flawlessly organized — making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
But what truly made our trip exceptional was our guide and driver, Hamis Barie. Simply put, this experience would not have been possible without him. He wasn’t just our guide — he was our tracker, storyteller, teacher, and constant companion throughout the journey.
From the first day at Tarangire National Park, Hamis was already setting the tone — sharing his knowledge about the animals, spotting wildlife from impossible distances, and making sure we were always in the right place at the right time.
During our two days in the Serengeti, we witnessed lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras (countless!), and so much more. Thanks to Hamis’ sharp instincts and deep experience, we had front-row seats to nature at its most raw and beautiful.
On our final day at the Ngorongoro Crater, Hamis went above and beyond to make one of our biggest dreams come true — seeing a rhino. He proactively contacted rangers, coordinated with other guides, and tirelessly scanned the landscape until we finally spotted one. That moment — seeing such a rare and majestic animal — was only possible because of his determination and skill.
Every single day, Hamis impressed us. He was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and completely passionate about what he does. His ability to read the land, understand animal behavior, and ensure we had the best possible view made all the difference.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Shemeji Safari enough — and if you’re lucky enough to have Hamis Barie as your guide, you’re guaranteed the trip of a lifetime.

Wow! Amazing adventure and incredible staff!
My husband booked this Safari as a surprise for my 60th birthday. He worked with Neema to plan all the details and I couldn’t be happier with everything! The glamping was so much fun - we had hippos, wildebeest, zebras, monkeys and baboons all around our tents at night, and the food was really good (can chicken really taste like that?). The safaris were even better than I ever could have imagined- we saw all of the big 5 and hundreds of birds and the Great Migration. Our guide, John, was skilled at spotting the animals, Navigating the traffic, knowing exactly where to go, and providing so much information. The staff was so terrific and friendly- they surprised even my husband by singing, dancing and giving a cake on my day❤️ I got teary when we had to leave them and this beautiful country. We will be back - and when we do - it will be with these wonderful people.

Unforgettable Tanzania experience with Shemeji Safari
We got back from our Tanzania-Zanzibar round trip about a week ago, and the many beautiful memories remain, which is largely thanks to Shemeji Safari / Paradise Wilderness, with whom we carried out this trip. A year ago, we contacted Shemeji Safari and started planning our individual trip together with them – we took some modules from their program one-to-one, others were flexibly adapted and added. We would particularly like to thank Tomas Vyvial, who took excellent care of us before and during the trip! We always had a competent contact person who was available per email and WhatsApp throughout our journey, and when we had a minor issue (which happened only once or twice), he was immediately on hand and offered a solution so that we were able to continue without any problems.
If anyone is planning a trip to Tanzania/Zanzibar, we can highly recommend the team at Shemeji Safari/Paradise Wilderness, and if you work with Tomas, you will be in the best of hands. We have already recommended him to friends and colleagues, and who knows, he may well hear from one or the other... 😊.

Very customer focussed and driven to give you the best possible experience!
We got Shemeji Safari recommended via a friend and they didn’t let us down. The accommodations were great and created a real (luxury) safari experience and having a jeep and driver for your family alone really helped to be able to tailor every gamedrive to a personalised journey. This really made this safari an unique experience for my wife and our two kids and we highly recommend this organization when you’re looking for someone to the best out of your holidays in Tanzania.
