Awesome
Our entire safari experience would not have been the same without Shafino. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals and his knowledge about everything from the Big Five/ Nine to birds, plants, and local culture was impressive. He had an answer to all of our questions and explained in detail. Every game drive felt like an adventure guided by someone who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. What really stood out though was how easy it was to connect with him. He’s one of the nicest guides you could have. He’s funny, patient, and always went the extra mile to make sure we were seeing what we wanted to see and having a good time. By the end of our trip, he felt less like a guide and more like a friend. If you’re planning a safari trip and want someone who will guaranteed give you an awesome experience, I highly recommend Shafino!

A Truly Fortunate Journey!
Shafino provided excellent service! From the very first day, he clearly explained our daily itinerary and the animals we might encounter. During the safari, communication was highly responsive, and with his help, we witnessed many unforgettable scenes—including a lion cub nursing, lions mating, and wildebeests crossing the river. All these iconic moments were right before our eyes. Shafino himself has a great sense of humor and made the journey incredibly enjoyable. The entire experience was perfectly rounded off.

Amazing Safari tour August 2025
I had a great time on our safari tour. We went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Our guide, Shafino, was amazing. He had an impressive knowledge of all the animals we saw. We saw so many things, so many more than I ever thought we would, because of his skills at spotting and identifying the wildlife. His experience made this trip incredible for us. We saw everything we were hoping to see, and so many more besides.
Safari trip of a lifetime with Shafino
We covered Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti over 5 days. Our guide Shafino was excellent!! From the moment he picked us up from the hotel in Arusha, he showed us a fantastic time - we were able to see all kinds of animals and birds, including the big 9. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the wildlife and shared obscure details about them all. He is an expert driver, and very professional! He went the extra mile in trying to find hard-to-find animals like leopards and rhinos and I’m happy to report that we had multiple sightings of them. He is the master of his domain!
Fantastic week long safari with Shafino
Shafino was a fantastic guide who really cared that we saw as many animals as possible. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and had answers to every question we asked. We ended up seeing 9 lion cubs, 4 leopards including 2 cubs, and so much more. We had a great time on the safari because of him. Would recommend him to anyone.

Trip of a Lifetime
Our 7-day safari in the breathtaking Serengeti was an unforgettable experience, and a significant part of that was due to our incredible guide, Shafino. His professionalism and extensive knowledge truly set him apart. With 25 years in the industry, Shafino's expertise in identifying plants and animals is unparalleled; he is the go-to guide for many other professionals seeking tips on where to find wildlife.
One of the most important aspects of a safari that many don't consider is the off-road driving. The routes through the Serengeti often take you away from the paved paths, and this is where Shafino's skills as a driver really shine. We witnessed several other vehicles struggling in difficult terrains, but thanks to Shafino’s remarkable driving abilities, we never once felt at risk of getting stuck. This level of competence allowed us to spend more time enjoying the sights rather than worrying about getting stranded.
Shafino is not just a great guide; he embodies the complete safari experience. His passion for wildlife and the Serengeti is infectious, making our adventure not just about viewing animals but also about understanding the entire ecosystem. If you're planning a safari, Shafino is undoubtedly the guide you want on your side. Highly recommend!
