Reviews
Amazing experience with Shayona Safaris & Tours
We had an amazing safari experience with Shayona Safaris and Tours while travelling with friends. From the beginning, everything was well organised and clearly communicated.
Our guide, Ndaki, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go out of his way to make sure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the wildlife and the areas we visited made the safari even more enjoyable.
The itinerary was explained clearly before the trip, and we really appreciated being given different options so we could choose an itinerary that suited us best. Throughout the whole experience, communication was smooth and the support from the team was very good.
Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend Shayona Safaris and Tours to anyone looking for a well-organised, enjoyable and memorable safari experience. A big thank you to Ndaki and the whole team!

Understood our needs and we saw all the game to hearts content
From first contact there was continuous communication . Ritesh understood our brief - to see the great migration and big cats + more and he designed the itenary as such so we maximised our chances ! We saw everything we ever dreamt of. The choice of accommodation of camps and lodges ticked all the boxes and the guide Onesmo was pure gem ! Experienced, caring , full of knowledge and personality ! Super Safari. Thanks so much…. Sante sana

Trip of a lifetime, with a guide who went above and beyond
We've just come back from a 5-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari with Shayona Safaris, followed by two days exploring Arusha and Moshi, and it was everything we hoped for and more. From the first contact with Ritesh, communication was constant and easy, right through booking, the trip itself and afterwards.
The itinerary was really well thought through, right down to the snacks. We added the hot air balloon ride as an extra, and it was one of the most special parts of the trip.
Our driver-guide, Onesmo, made the experience. He got us to quite literally every animal we hoped to see: the migration, the Big 5, the "ugly 5" and the endless Serengeti plains. He's a highly skilled guide and a great educator, and he was thoughtful, polite and made us laugh all week.
He also went well beyond the safari itself. He spent time with us in both towns helping us find places that aren't on Google Maps. He was endlessly patient, and it meant a huge amount to see those places.
The team were flexible and supportive throughout. They accommodated us when we added onto another booking, and they were quick to help when our flight was cancelled.
We honestly struggled to find anything negative to say. Would recommend without hesitation.

Exceptional service all round!
Exceptional service!!!
Our trip took us from Dar to mwanza, then safari in Serengeti and ngorongoro crater finishing our holiday in Zanzibar
All we had to do was land in dar es salaam. Shayona took care of everything else for us, all the transfers, hotel bookings, internal flights, safari trip and optional excursions.
Our safari driver Revo was amazing and very knowledgeable!
He knew the every place we needed to go to catch the animals. We were lucky enough to see a lion kill and touched off the "big five".
Shayona gave us an amazing, hassle free experience of Tanzania and can't thank them enough for an experience of a lifetime!

He made sure we spotted the big 5 animals in Serengeti!! The best 8 days in Tanzania! We recommend Shayona 💯 to anyone who wants to visit here! They organised our trip really well with the best hotels in Tanzania and Zanzibar.

An Unforgettable Serengeti Safari Experience with Shayona Safaris and Tours! We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our Serengeti safari with Shayona Safaris and Tours. Our driver and guide Mdeme was fantastic incredibly experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Thanks to his expertise we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and so much more wildlife along the way. We travelled through different parts of beautiful Tanzania, following the Great Migration and exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, taking in some truly wonderful sights. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Mdeme made sure we had the best possible opportunities to see wildlife and really made our safari special.
We cannot recommend Shayona Safaris and Tours highly enough. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you, Mdeme and the whole Shayona Safaris team
