An amazing safari experience
Very well organized tour and excellent tour guide.
We had 2 days Safari with two game drives. Communication from the begging to the actual day was very good and Justin ( person with whom we had started communication) was responsive and supportive. He provided us advises about tour activities and made requested adjustments, all questions were solved. The tour was exactly as agreed, accommodation was lovely with local flavors.
But our tour wouldn’t be so amazing without our guide Elly! He is an excellent guide with deep and comprehensive knowledge about African wild life, person, who really loves nature with a very nice science of humor on top of all. His stories about animals and birds life, habits and rituals, as well as about local people and traditions made our tour unforgettable .
In terms of value for money compared to other tours this was very good.
Overall an amazing experience and I fully recommend.
For travelers: be prepared that in January could be really very hot and sunny, so thin long sleeve clothes are highly recommended.

Really great service, guide and tour at Nyerere/Selous National park!
We did a 4 day trip to Nyerere/Selous National Park which has been an awesome experience!
To let you know from the beginning why we give 4 instead of 5 stars: This is "only" because of the car which made some troubles. But Shammah Wonders guides of this park should use another/ a new one by now! :)
The rest was really great. Starting from planning the trip and communication with Justin: This happened via Mail and WhatsApp. Shammah Wonders was very flexible and we could extend the offered 3 day trip to a 4 day trip with one more day of Game Drive. Also some spontaneous changes on site have been arranged. We flew in from Zanzibar. Pick-Ups and flight worked smoothly. The camp was nice, elephants and warthogs visited us in the camp. Our guide Eric was excellent and fun! We saw the Big 5 (except Rhinos, which don't exist in the park) and there wasn't a question he could not answer about animal and wild life.
Personally, we would skip the programme items village tour and walking safari the next time and focus on game drive and boat safari. But all in all a fantastic trip and incredible experience. Nyerere National Park and Shammah Wonders are recommendable! Asante sana!

An amazing experience!
This was absolutely the highlight of our holiday: our driver there really knows everything about all wildlife, speaks excellent English so we could understand all stories and explanations about all the animals.
Hè knew the perfect places to spot the elephants, impalas, pumbas, lions, zebras, wildebeasts, giraffes, crocodiles, buffalos, hippos, really we saw them all!!! What an experience!
I can highly recommend it! It's absolutely worth the money!

Fabulous experience with young kids of 7 and 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.

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.

A day to remember! Absolutely amazing!
The most amazing trip, definitely one to remember! We were picked up from the hotel and flew from Zanzibar directly into Mikumi National Park. When we arrived, the jeeps were awaiting us and we set off! Our guide was so kind and enthusiastic, answering all questions we had! We saw zebras, lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, antelopes and many more animals, it was incredible and breathtaking. Definitely would recommend and would do it all over again! Such a surreal day. Thank you so much for everything!

A PERFECT DAY
we booked our 1 day trip to Mikumi National Park before we travelled to Zanzibar from the UK. We found Shammah Wonders Safari to be offering exactly what we wanted for a competitive price. We requested a quote and Justin replied immediately. He was friendly and reassuring that he understood our needs and that they would be met. From placing a deposit, the whole service received was personal and professional. Justin is great at communicating so there were never any doubts that our day would be compromised.
We traveled as a family of seven adults. Justin ensured we had our own Safari vehicle. Originally he arranged for 2 separate jeeps and on securing 1 large vehicle he refunded the difference, something a good honest company would do as we would not have been aware of this. Really impressed.
We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar early in the morning and driven to the airport where we caught a plane direct to the Mikumi national park where we were met by our driver. What an amazing day! Antelopes, wildebeests, giraffes, elephants, lions and hippos, beautiful birds, baobab trees. Lunch was a hot delicious buffet. Our driver was knowledgeable and friendly ensuring we experienced a great time. We returned by plane back to Zanzibar and were driven back to our hotel. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shammah Wonder Tours. Justin is so friendly and will ensure your day goes brilliantly.

Surreal day! All animals were seen
We had a great safari, everything from pick up and collection was great. Wow the park was amazing!!!! We saw all the animals that were mentioned in the booking, we wasn’t sure due to time of the year but we were so impressed and will be a day we will not forget.

Wonderful experience
2 days safari in Selous, from Zanzibar, organized by Justin and Shammah Safari.
From the beginning Justin has always been quick to answer all my questions, everything was clear and happened exactly as mentioned. 2 wonderful days in Selous, with Ely then Ludovic, two great rangers, whose kindness and knowledge of the local wildlife were highly appreciated by us, especially my 12 years son, who has the most amazing time.
Thanks again Justin, great job!!

Just perfect
From the moment I first contacted Justin by email to the moment that Patrick dropped us back to the airport the service from Shammah Wonders was 5 star.
Justin’s communication pre trip was superb. He answered all of my queries quickly and put together a perfect 2 day, 1 night safari itinerary for us which allowed us to make the most of the limited time we had to visit Nyerere National Park.
Our guide for the trip was Patrick. He was absolutely fantastic. After an early pick up from our hotel in Dar he drove us out to Selous Camp Africa for a quick breakfast before taking us into the park for a whole day game drive. His knowledge of the park was vast and thanks to him we saw so much. Most of the time it felt as though we had the park to ourselves as we barely saw another vehicle.
The overnight accommodation at Camp Africa was comfortable, the food good and the camp staff excellent.
Day 2 was a 2 hour river trip which gave us a different view of the wildlife and birds followed by a quick lunch before the long drive back to the airport in Dar.
If you are looking to book a safari I would highly recommend Shammah Wonders. The whole experience has been utterly amazing.
