Best Experience of Our Trip
We did a two day Safari of Tarangire and Ngorongoro. It was the best option (price and lodging) for our Safari plans. Initially, I was anxious about the Safari but from the moment I communicated with Justine, my anxiety lessened. He never took long to respond and always answered every question I had. He even allowed us to stay at a separate lodge from what was on the itinerary for an extremely minor price adjustment. The lodge was perfect!
YONA was our Safari guide. I put his name in all caps because he stood out that much. There was never a question we asked that he didn’t know the answer to. He was early to pick us up. Very welcoming and explained everything to expect before and during the entire two days. He knew all of the hotspots on the Safari and was almost always the first one on site to provide the best view. We saw a lot of live action with lions and even caught two black rhinos (rare). He was so down to Earth and we really enjoyed eating lunch, dinner and breakfast with him. He even took us by a gift shop to get souvenirs and provided knowledge on various things around the towns we were driving through on our way to and from the Safari. He was so perfect at his job that I wanted to take him with us on our next African adventure. It was so hard saying goodbye to him.
I promise you will not regret going with Shammah Wonders. I hope Yona doesn’t mind me saying this but request Yona!

We had a wonderful 2 day safari with the best guide.
We went for two day safari to Selous with Shammah Wonders Safari, everything was arranged well. At Selous our guide Eli was waiting us and took us to hotel for breakfast.
Eli was the best guide ever, he knew so much about animals and nature that it was unbelievable. We had our six years old girl with us and he also noticed her very nicely.
We saw many animals even it's rainy season. Eli did a huge effort that we were able to see much.
Accommodation was nice and food good. All in all we were really happy with everything and can truly recommend this company and Eli!

Breathtaking experience - 2 Day safari Nyerere
We went on a 2 day safari at the end of January 2023. Communication went very quickly and smoothly. The whole trip we were able to rely on all the operators from the pick up to the exit. We had some luggage we didn’t take to the safari, a safe place was arranged to it. All questions were answered, service was excellent and we had a great time!
At the Nyerere our guide Eli was waiting us at the runway. We started the game drive and got to see many animals even though it was a rainseason during that time - that shows the level of our guide. On top of that we got to learn many insights of the Tanzanian culture, animal behaviour and the nature. Eli was clearly an experienced guide, professional bushman and the level of knowledge he had amazed us.
Second day we had a very chill bushwalk with Eli and a member of the Masai tribe. After that we went to boat safari where we saw the wonders of nature from a river view.
All in all, safari was a great experience and we would definetly recomend this company and our guide to everybody.

Fantastic Safari at Nyerere/Selous National park!
We went on a 3 day Safari on 22, 23 and 24 of December 2022, it was great and well organized from the beginning. Justin from Shammah Wonders Safari provided all the details and support before we booked, great service before, during and after the trip. On Day 1 picked up at our hotel in Zanzibar for an early flight to Selous. At arrival, our guide/driver Ely Hachim was waiting for us. Ely was amazing: he was so kind, flexible, great service and game drives! We saw so many animals (elephants, hippos, buffalo, giraffe, lion, zebra, wildebeast, monkeys, crocodiles etc) and learned a lot from Ely. Especially our 6 year old son loved his stories about the nature (we saw a Baobab tree of 2000 yrs old) and animals. We also really enjoyed the walking safari with Ely and the Masai. The boat safari was interesting and gave us a different view from the river. Also here we spotted hippos and crocodiles. In summary, really great service, guide and tour at Nyerere/Selous National park! Thanks so much Ely and Justin from making our dreams come true! Asanti San!

They are very professional, good communication before and during the trip
We booked a 2-day safari in Nyerere national park. Our guide Salum picked us up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam which was very convenient. The game drive on the first day was amazing, Salum really made an effort to find all the animals. We saw lions, buffalos, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, elephants, pumbas, different kinds of antilopes and monkeys. Salum has a lot of experience and we learned a lot from him about the animals.
The second day we went on a 2 hour river safari by boat. We saw many different kinds of birds, the hippos up close, a baby crocodile and an elephant. We went with another guide on the boat who was also really good.
The camp is super nice with a swimming pool and a beautiful fireplace in the evening. All the meals were great as well, especially the dinner.
We would really recommend Shammah wonders safari. Thanks again for an amazing adventure!

Wonderful Experience… go for it!!!
I’ve always wanted to tick a safari of my bucket list, but didn’t think I would be overly into it. But I was pleasantly surprised this safari was awesome and I loved it. The amount of animals I saw far exceeded my expectations and our guide Tony was great at finding them and giving us interesting information on them. Tony was a really nice man, and his efforts to make sure we got the most out of the experience were much appreciated. Apart from Rhinos ( which weren’t in the parks we went to), we saw everything we could see, and felt like a National Geographic photographer even just using our phones. The additional river boat cruise we had on our 3 day safari to Mikumi and Selous National Park. I highly recommend Shammah Wonder Safari.

Amazing experinece 3 days at Selous
We were looking for an amazing experience for our honeymoon in Tanzania-Zanzibar so looking around the internet we found that Shammah Wonders Safari, had very very good reviews, and without overthinking I contacted Justin. We chose the 3 days safari in Selous with flys from Zanzibar he makes everything so special and private. We stayed in an amazing bungalow in the Camp and lodge just outside the National Park with so much luck to see animals like elephants, buffalo, monkeys, and lovely bush babies while having our meals during our stay at the lodge. It
is very usual that Maasai warrior guards the resorts and help tourist with their stay. The guys at the camp were wonderful and even gave a warrior dance and song performance in the night.
Our driver during the stay and for the Safari was Fidelis who impressed us with his knowledge and humble personality, I don't have enough words to express my gratitude. He knew exactly where to find all the animals and could spot them a mile away, we learned a lot about the animals, and ecosystems from him. I have to also mention our bush guide for our bush walk, Dr Simba, such a guy!!! who was very entertaining but also knowledgeable about plant life and ecosystems. He taught us how to make fire with our hands and we had a wonderful time. We recommend Justin if you want and special experience. We were super excited to have this Safari experience which was just amazing. Thank You, Shammah Wonders, Justine, and Fidelis for making our dreams come true in the nicer way ever imagine.
