Incredibly organized and flexible
Amazing experience with Shammah visiting Mikumi national park. Our tour guide was informative, timely, organized, and went above and beyond for us to see everything!

Fantastic safari tour with our kids
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.

Exceptional Trip to Ruaha
We went on a 2 night 3 day safari to Ruaha and it was amazing! We had a great game drive where we saw many animals and even found a family of lions that were hidden and difficult to spot at first. We also saw a lion from very close by, about 2 meters! We were able to learn a lot about all the different animals thanks to the good knowledge of our guide. Jackson had everything planned out perfectly so we didn't need to worry about the logistics of the safari. He arranged very beautiful accommodation for us with good food and a beautiful sunrise in the morning. All of this was for a very affordable price, especially as we are still studying. Thanks Jackson for making a party of our safari weekend and teaching us to sing the Swahili songs! We had great fun :)

Excellent!
We arranged our safari to pick us up from Dar es Salaam and take us to the Mikumi National park. Our driver arrived on time and we were joined by another guide. Both of whom were excellent.
Our first journey to the park was long, but this is expected due to the traffic, which can't be helped on the long road.
Once we got in the park we were shocked by how quickly we saw animals, and in great numbers.
We got to see everything we came for in the 3 days we were there, including two prides of Lions, Buffalo, Elephants bathing, giraffes and zebra amongst many others.
Our accomodation was also sorted by Shammah Wonders Safari and was superb (Full board at the Tanswiss Lodge). Looking at their prices alone for full board we got a great deal.
All in all i'd recommend anyone to use Shammah Wonders safari. Thanks again for a great trip!

An amazing Serengeti experience!!
Throughout our entire experience, Justin (the owner of Shammah Wonders) was extremely responsive and helpful. He really cares about what he does and genuinely wants his customers to have the best experience possible. He provided many different options for our itinerary and tailored our safari to be exactly what we wanted it to be. We chose to do a 3 day safari, with the first two days in the Serengeti and the last day at Ngorongoro Crater. Upon flying into Arusha the night before our safari, Justin and our driver, Ben, picked us up from the airport at no additional charge and dropped us off at our hotel. Ben picked us up the next morning to start our safari. There were 4 of us in a private safari car plus our driver. We were very comfortable and had plenty of space. The top of the vehicle could raise up a few feet so you could stand up and have an uninhibited view of the animals. For our first night, we stayed at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp, which Justin had recommended. Everyone was super friendly, the place was clean, and the food was delicious. For the second night, we stayed at Serena Serengeti Lodge (also recommended by Justin), which was absolutely beautiful. The lodges were very comfortable and there was a pool, spa, and restaurant onsite, and a sitting area with a spanning view over the Serengeti where you can watch the sunset while you drink a bottle of wine. Ben was an incredible driver and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We saw the Big 5, plus so many others- giraffes, hippos, hyenas, ostriches, cheetah, monkeys, gazelles, warthogs, wildebeest, etc. This truly was an unforgettable experience, and I couldn’t recommend Shammah Wonders enough!

Safari of a lifetime!!
What an amazing safari! I went on a trip to Tanzania with three of my girlfriends. After planning a few nights on Zanzibar we embarked on a two night three day safari set up personally by Justin. He not only catered the safari to meet all of our request, but made it extremely simple for us to decide what accommodations to choose from while on the safari. Justin and our safari driver and guide Ben picked us up from our flight at the Arusha airport and dropped us off at our hotel. It was very comforting meeting Justin and our guide the night before our early morning departure. The car was extremely spacious and our driver Ben was such a delight. He helped us spot all of the big five animals and more. We stayed in the park both nights, one at a glamping Osernio space and one at the Serena lodge. Both were great ways to see the Serengeti from different perspectives. We loved the whole trip and really enjoyed getting to know Justin and Ben. I would highly recommend this trip!

Magical experience
What an unforgettable experience!! Our safari guide (Erick) was a star from start to finish! Before the tour even began Erick helped to locate our lost luggage that had been put on a different plane to us, then once we were on the safari Erick was so incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and used his vast knowledge to drive us through different animal territories and track the animals we wanted to see. We were incredibly lucky to see a whole host of animals including zebras, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, hippos, lots of giraffes and many more. We even got to see a lion eating a warthog carcass thanks to Erick's quick thinking to draw the lioness over to her prey. The experience of eating lunch in the Bush was wonderful and even the drive to our tented camp at the end of long days was perfect with Erick giving us some time to quietly unwind but also answering any questions we had about the village or any of the animals we had seen.

Perfect organization
It was wonderful! Driver in the morning was on time and was very polite. Also at the airport we were guided well. Erik, the guide did a great job! We saw impalas, wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocks, buffalos, baboons. Eric provided us with a lot of interesting info on the wildlife. Excellent guide. Lunch was delicious. We arrived back to the airport on time. On the other hand, the transfer driver back to hotel got lost on the way and did not find the hotel. But this is a minor thing. Overall it was an wonderful experience. Thank you for the good organization, your communication and service is excellent.

Once in a lifetime safari!
An amazing safari experience!! I found this company through a friend who lived in Tanzania and recommended them to me (we wanted to book with a Tanzania owned company). I went with 3 girl friends for a 2 night 3 day safari in the Serengeti and it was incredible. Justin, the owner, is so nice and was extremely communicative before and during the trip over email and Whatsapp. He created the whole itinerary for us after we told him what we were looking for and with what budget. Justin even picked us up with our guide Ben (who was so nice!) at the airport in Arusha and brought us to our hotel for the night and then picked us up again the next morning to begin our safari journey out to the Serengeti. Justin selected awesome accommodations for us to stay in as well. We spent on night glamping at Osera Tented Camp and one night in this gorgeous hotel with small cabana like huts at the Serena Serengeti Hotel. We also stopped at ngorongoro crater on our way back to Arusha. The car was a spacious land rover with a roof that pops open to get better views of the wildlife. All meals were included in the price too. Our guide Ben was so knowledgeable and helped us see all of the big 5 and so much more. I am confident that Shammah Wonders can create an amazing and unique safari experience for anyone!
