Fantastic safari tour with our kids
5/5

Although I was a bit reluctant about booking a safari tour online, I am more than happy that I asked Shammah Wonders for a quote. Right after asking for some information, the communication with Justine was fluent through WhatsApp and email. He answered all of our questions promptly and gave good input for the rest of our trip. I compared with several other companies and the price offer was really good. After checking some references, we booked 5 days Mikumi/Udzungwa/Nyerere and it was fantastic! Justine and our guide Matata arrived early and from that moment, me and my family (kids 7&10) felt very comfortable with the guide. During our trip flexibility was needed, since the rain came early and in huge volume. This made our tour even more remarkable and still the wildlife and the landscape kept impressing us. Our guide was very experienced and answered any question, about the tour, the flora and fauna, life in Tanzania, everything! Also Justine was still available to answer questions about the tour.
Was everything fantastic? Almost! The boat trip and bushwalk in Nyerere/Selous was not meeting our expectations. But this was due the weather and our interpretation. And maybe we are spoilt after staying in Chobe, Botswana, a few years ago.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or doubts! For Dutch readers, I can provide you a link to our Polarsteps diary.

great experience
5/5

Due to the good reviews and also the fair price, my husband and I decided to go on a one-day safari to Nyerere National Park with Shammah Wonders Safari. We opted for the private tour and it was perfect. Immediately after booking, I was contacted via WhatsApp and then kept up to date. We really liked that. We flew from Zanzibar directly to the park by plane. We were met there by our tour guide Elly and we immediately liked him very much. Elly did everything he could to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible and always drove very close to the animals so that we could admire them in peace. He also told us lots of interesting facts about the animals. You can tell that he really loves his job. We had a really great day with Elly and have fond memories of this safari. We can therefore only recommend the tour. We also recommend booking the private version, as you get a lot out of it and the safari is also customised and you stay with your favourite animals for a long time.

We had a great and perfectly organized 5-day tour including 2 parks, a hike and boat tour. Our guide Sixmond contributed significantly to the experience with great knowledge on flora, fauna as well as culture and answered our million questions patiently. Thank you so much for driving us safely and making our journey unforgettable!

Best safari experience - our dreams came true
5/5

Our experience with Shammah Wonders Safari was much better than expected. We had a 5 day tour with the best guide, Moses, who made us feel safe at all times. Everything was planned from the beginning to the end of our tour, and we couldn’t have asked for more. We had some amazing wildlife experiences and Moses knew everything about the animals, the nature and the African culture, and he told us a lot of stories during our trip. We were upgraded to a luxury lodge during our stay without any additional fees, and Justin who is head of the company, really did an effort to make our trip the best - he even helped us getting all the way to Zanzibar after the safari with both arranging ferry and transfer. Thanks again for the best safari tour. We will highly recommend Shammah Wonders Safari!

Amazing Safari Tour
5/5

We spent a wonderful day on safari in Nyerere National Park. We have not met yet such a great tour operator as Shammah Wonders Safari. Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end of our safari tour. Justine is an amazing tour planner and organizer, always ready to help and advise on whatsapp. Not only a perfect safari, but he also organized a tailor-made tour of Stone Town before our departure from Zanzibar. We could not have chosen a better tour operator. Elihakim was our perfect safari guide. He gave us a lot of information, he was pleasant, funny and during the whole tour we felt that he loves his job. Even though it was only a one-day safari, we saw many animals and it was a real experience for us. We can highly recommend choosing Shammah Wonders for your safari in Tanzania.

A perfect safari experience
5/5

We took the 5-Day Mikumi, Udzungwa and Selous Game, Walking & Boat safari. The booking process was easy, and that included a minor change to the itinerary and a flight at the end to Zanzibar, really helpful from the initial enquiry.

Both Patrick (covering Mikumi and Udzungwa) and Elly (covering Selous) we're superb and really added to our enjoyment of our Safari. Their passion and knowledge (and humour), and their eye for spotting the animals was incredible, we just don't know how they saw some if them whilst also doing the driving! They both took us to some great viewing spots, and none ever felt busy with other tours.

Accommodation and food was good throughout.

We said it would be a once in a lifetime experience, however, we enjoyed it so much, we do plan to book with Shammah Wonders again.

A huge thank you from the both of us.

Exceptional
5/5

Truly an exceptional experience.
Justin was attentive and really flexible for a 2-day safari with an overnight stay.
We changed the second day to another day of safari, which posed no problem for me.
The general organization is very good, we even added a day visit to Stone Town.
The only downside is that the airline was not very strict with the schedules. 2 hours late on the way out and an hour early for the return without any explanation. This was reported to Justin.
The Élihakim guide is simply wonderful: availability, passion, humanity and professionalism.
the accommodation (Nyerere tent camp) was great.
An experience at Nyéréré that we want to repeat with the same guide

Amazing 2 day safari in Nyerere with Zanzibar fly in
5/5

Just writing a few lines to say how brilliant our 2-day safari was with Shammah Wonders Safari for our family of 5. It's quite a minefield when you are trying to pick a company to choose and you obviously want it to be successful. We wanted a two day safari experience and return flights from Zanzibar. Briefly, we asked for an overnight stay in Nyerere, 1 full day safari, boat safari, and village visit. Justine arranged everything and it all ran like clockwork. He was always available on WhatsApp to answer any questions.
He provided spreadsheet of itinerary, e.g hotel pickup time 4am , driver name, phone number, flight time 6am , game drive start time 7am etc , etc. As said before here Eli as an amazing person and safari guide. His knowledge is second to none, very personable and will amuse you with his stories. Every step of the way, there is someone to look after you, e.g, game drive, hotel taxi, at airport, village tour, boat trip. We saw lots of hippo, giraffe, zebra, but seeing mum, dad and baby elephant was a highlight. Thanks to Eli for his perseverance and keen eye for that one and thanks to Justine for arranging.

5/5

It was a wonderful adventure! everything was organized at the highest level! The service and team exceeded my expectations in every way from the first call to the agency until the moment I returned to the hotel. Eli is an excellent driver and guide. He shares his knowledge about animals with heart and humor. The campground I stayed at was excellent! The driver who took me and brought me to the airport was very attentive to me at every stage. I am happy to recommend this team!

Perfect!
5/5

We loved the 3 days safari beside that we don’t saw lions (simba) like they say :). Besides that it was a magic and an unforgettable experience. The sound of the birds, the nature and all the animals in her pure natural environment such a beautiful moment. We appreciated the comprehension, the attention and the communication with Justin. We loved our safari guide Elihakim, he told us so many interesting things about the animals. We had so much knowledge about them and the nature.
