Best experience!!!
October 2025
We had a wonderful trip with Shafino, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! This was truly an incredible adventure, far beyond anything we ever imagined.
In just two days, we were lucky enough to see the Big Nine: lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, and even crocodiles. It still feels unbelievable that we saw four cheetahs, including a mother with her baby, four prides of lions, and five rhinos. The elephants walked so close to our car that it felt like we could almost reach out and touch them. Every moment was pure magic.
Shafino is a true professional. He has an extraordinary ability to track animals, and he always knew exactly where to go for the most breathtaking views and unforgettable encounters. His passion and knowledge made the whole experience even more special!!
If you are looking for the best guide, look no further! Shafino is absolutely the right choice. He turned our safari into a once-in-a-lifetime memory, and we are so grateful for every single moment!!

What an amazing day!
Wow! Shafino wildlife Safaris were amazing. Our guides were brilliant, telling us stories and details along the way about baobab trees, zebras, wilderbeast, termites, lions and much more. Giving us insights into the lives of the animals. The service that they provided was exceptional making our day and planning smooth, providing delicious hot lunch and going above and beyond to make our experience memorable! The guides knew all of the best spots allowing us to be less than 2 metres away from sleeping lions, amongst the middle of a herd of elephants and obtain close sighting of hyenas playing in the water. I could not have asked for a better experience. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to have a stand out safari!

Shafino wildlife safaris is driven by kindness and knowledge and is creating amazing memories
I had a really amazing one-day safari with Shafino.
The day started with Shafino picking us up directly from our hostel, and from that moment everything felt easy and well organised.
Shafino made the whole experience special from start to finish. He knows the park like the back of his hand and has a deep knowledge of both animals and plants, which he shared in a calm and engaging way. His experience and passion really showed and made the day feel very personal.
We saw a lot of wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and buffalo, and we always had time to stop and enjoy each sighting. Lunch was fantastic, with great food, good wine and very good coffee from a French press. The car was well stocked with cold water, sodas and beers, which made the day very comfortable.
Overall, it was a warm and memorable experience and great value for money. I would highly recommend Shafino Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for a genuine and well-organised safari in Tanzania.

Shafino Wildlife Safaris has one mission: to provide an authentic, unforgettable, and personalized s
I went on safari to Tarangire with Shafino Wildlife Safaris together with five friends, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We started the day early so we would be ahead of the other tour companies. Shafino is incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. He genuinely took the time to get to know us, and even in the jeep he shared interesting facts while engaging and interacting with us. He took care of a delicious lunch with a wide selection of drinks, all enjoyed while overlooking the stunning views of Tarangire.
From the moment we entered the park, it was clear that Shafino is an expert in his field. His knowledge of wildlife, nature, and animal behavior is incredible and he took us to the most special parts of the park that most others don’t get to see, where it genuinely felt like we were part of nature rather than just visitors. We saw so many animals, and he’s amazing at spotting them from a distance. He took his time, often stopping to explain the environment and share interesting facts. Whenever we had a question, he didn’t just give a short answer but really explained it to us. I can see how passionate he is about his job which is why I learned so much from him and felt super safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Overall, I would highly recommend Shafino Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania. 🦒✨
Highly recommend
I just finished a month long trip through East Africa and went on many safaris. Shafino was the most knowledgeable and experienced guide I had. Spotting animals nobody would see and sharing with us a depth of knowledge. But it doesn’t stop there - Shafino is also a great host - provided my group a full lunch (with drinks) and really took care of us. He worked hard to give us a personalized great experience and we saw more animals than we thought possible.
