Excellent Safari!
5/5

We went on the 3-day Comfort Safari to Selous from Zanzibar as part of our honeymoon and can highly recommend Shammah Wonders Safari! The communication before the safari was excellent. We were picked up from our hotel in Stone Town and taken to the airport for our flight straight to the gate of the national park. From here we were met by our guide Elihaki and started our drive straight away. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, and patient when we wanted to watch animals for a long time. Selous itself was a lovely place and we were very lucky to have some amazing sightings including a leopard and wild dogs.

Fabulous experience with young kids of 7 and 5
5/5

The experience was excellent from the quality of the car (amazingly comfortable Land Cruiser ) and most importantly the excellent experience provided by our Guide Elly !!! He has been awesome with us and our 2 kids aged 7 and 5 - he explained the wild life rules, the local traditions, helped us connect with the the Masai and local communities and schools : He went above and beyond to make this safari an unforgettable experience and his experience and determination has allowed us to see some incredible animals and live a unique experience !! Definitely recommended.

Excellent 3 day Safari trip to Nyerere National Park
5/5

We were looking for a safari in Nyerere Park from October 21st to 23rd, and only this company was the only one that reacted quickly and offered a suitable tour. We agreed on a free transfer to and from the airport. After this we had paid for the first part online, and for the second part we paid in cash in dollars to the driver.

We were quietly taken to the airport, where we left our luggage (which we did not take on Safari) with the agent and at 6 a.m. we flew to the mainland.

Upon arrival, we were met and taken to the camp. There we were accommodated in a separate house, the room was spacious. We were well fed, there were breakfasts, lunches and dinners included in the tour. At our free time from excursions, we swam in the pool and sunbathed. But we didn't have an electricity all the time, it was served according to schedule, which means that there was no Internet at that time.

On the first day we had an excursion to the village, where we saw the lifestyle of the locals, and visited a walnut factory. It was interesting and unusual.

In the evening we had a boat Safari, where we sailed along the Rufiji River and we were told about the local nature. We saw a lot of hippos, several crocodiles and many surprising birds. We met the sunset on the one of the islands, it was very romantic!

On the second day, we woke up very early, had a breakfast and went on Safari for the whole day. This time we were lucky and my wife and I were alone in a jeep. We rode around the park all day, so we were a little tired in the evening. Also at 1p.m we had a lunch at the camp, where we ate near a huge baobab. (By the way, there were also several big baobabs on the territory of our camp).

We saw several elephants, a lot of giraffes, zebras and antelopes, several buffaloes. A lot of warts and monkeys. There were a huge number of hippos and crocodiles in the river, they were so many of them and we drove right to shore. Unfortunately, we didn't see the lions that day, they were hiding somewhere far away. And in October there is a dry season, many animals migrated to the other side of the river to less arid places.

I liked everything very much, we came back tired, but happy.

On the third day we had a very interesting walking tour with a bushman in the surrounding area. There he also let me try to smoke an elephant poop, it was unusual, but I didn't feel anything nasty.

After this tour, we had a time to rest and sunbathe and at 3 p.m. we were taken from the camp back to the runway, where we were waiting for our plane. After that, we came back to Zanzibar, where we stopped by to get our luggage and went to the hotel. Everything went pretty clear and well, I can't say anything bad.

In general, I recommend this company!

Great experience - 1 day Selous from Zanzinar
5/5

We took a full-day safari from Zanzibar. It was amazing! The perfect way to spend a day and have a bit of adventure during a relaxing holiday in Zanzibar. The communication with Justine was perfect. We exchanged a lot of emails and even via WhatsApp. He helped us with all preparations. The driver was at our hotel and took us to the airport From there we took 30 min and the Game drive started immediately.

I really recommend this experience. We saw all the animals possible except Leopards and Rinos! The lunch was very tasty and its location was amazing! At the end of the day, we got back to Zanzibar directly to our hotel!

This is a lifetime experience which I recommend to everyone that travels to Zanzibar!

Great Safari with a great guide.
5/5

We booked a 5 days safari with Shammah Wonders safari. (Mikumi np, Udzungwa Mountains and Nyerere np and boat safari). The communication with Justine before the safari was verry well. Our guide was Selum and we had a great time during the safari. We saw a lot of different animals like Elephants, Lions, Buffalo's, Hippo's, Crocodiles, different types of Antilopes and more. The guide Selum was verry helpful and knows a lot of the animals and wildlife, when te tourists are happy he is also happy. The accommodation we stayed was camp Bastian Mikumi and Africa safari Selous. The food in both camps was verry tasteful. In camp Africa safari Selous we heard a lot of noise in the middle of the night and something was walking around our bungalow. When we went out of our bed and checked wat it was we saw 2 Elephants!!

I would everyone recommend this safari.
Selum thanks for the great safari

Very good travel agency, with quality services and good prices
5/5

I find my trip throw the Internet and find this agency. I got in contact with Justin very quickly and he was very responsive to all my questions.
We did 3 days, a village tour with a local guide who was very interesting, than a boat tour with lovely guides and captain, full game drive in Nyerere National park and a walking bush tour. We felt looked after from start to finish. The Africa safari camp acommodation was really nice, authentic and the staff very friendly and informative. The sunset and the boat tour was beautiful, we were taken to really nice spots.
Our game driver the next day Fidelis took us to see a lot of animals and also got up very close to them. He took routes that no other cars were at and wanted us to have the best experience. Our guide and his colleague even built a "bridge" so that our car could pass in a place normally inaccessible and we could admire the lions from very close (2 to 3 m.). We also saw the elephant from very very close ! It was just magical, he gave us this tour with so much passion and desire to show us everything.
The next day the walking bush tour was lead by a very special man. Simba is a very special person. He knows his subject perfectly. He is in symbiosis with nature and respects it enormously. He makes us know his little secrets and bewitches us. The bush walk was very exciting and we laughed a lot.
And finally if you have the chance to fly with Auric Air, then your safari will end in beauty in a small plane with 12 seats and a dream landscape.
I would definately recommend Shammah wonder safari

PS : don't forget to take some cash with you, because the drinks at the lodge are paid in cash. We didn't have any and fortunately they accept all known currencies.

It was an unforgettable experience!
5/5

It was very well organised from start to finish. We were picked up at 4am from our resort in Zanzibar and taken to the airport. After checking in and boarding we arrived at Nyerere National park at 07.30 to start the safari. Our guide was waiting for us and asked us which animals we would like to see. Lucky for us, we saw them all - elephants, lions, hippos, giraffes, crocs, monkeys, zebra, water buffalo (dead and alive!) and more!
We stopped for lunch at around midday and started to make our way back to the airport around 14.30. We were back in Zanzibar around 16.00.
As the 1 day Nyerere National Park trip starts very early, I would ask Shammah Wonders to think about providing a quick coffee/tea and some pastries in the morning when guests arrive at the park. This would be highly appreciated because it was long morning to not have eaten since 3.30am (when we woke up and got ready). Other than that, the trip was super and our safari guide Fide was brilliant!

Amazing safari experience
5/5

Everything was perfect. The flight itself is an experience, as you will land in the middle of the safari.
We did the boat safari and saw lots of hippos, the full day safari with Erik and walking safari with Simba. It was a delight. The safari with Erik is by far the best, he speaks excellent english and offers you a day you'll never forget. He knows the place very well and he managed to show us all that's worth seeing in the park. It was a very intimate experience, the park is not crowdy at all and we saw lions, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, all in all everything.
Also, Simba, at the walking safari, will show you lots of natural wonders. He is someone you don't meet everyday. Worth meeting him.
We stayed at Kinga lodge and it was fantastic. Super clean and the staff was exceptional.
