They planned a very tailored and thoughtful experience for my group. They even drove us around JB!
Shikwaru made our experience in Africa a top 1 and unforgettable trip! Federica, one of the co-owners made us feel like home since day one. She picked up us in the JNB airport and drove us around the city - it was amazing to get to know Joburg from the eyes of a local. She clearly knew where and how long to take us to each place, which made the entire experience in Joburg very smooth and anjoyable. She took us herself to the Safari lodge where she had made our accommodation arrangements. At this point we did not have to move a finger in the planning, as she did everything for us! She had already asked us a bunch of questions to understand our budget and our vision for the trip and could have not booked a better lodge than Tambuti Lodge! The people, the service and the hotel itself were absolutely spectacular. It was my group's first Safari experience and it was definitely a great way to start! Federica would reach back every day to see how satisfied our group was, and she ensured everything was meeting our expectations. Our next stop after the safari was Capetown, and Shikwaru took charge of all our planning in the city as well. They booked our flights, our tours around the wine areas (Franschoek and Stellenbosch, which included the tasting reservations) and around the area of Cape of Good Hope. The experience was very personalized throughout and left us wanting to go back to South Africa! Wouldn't doubt using Shikwaru again in our future travels!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Tania Daniels
It is a unique and beautiful place. Such a great concentration of animals and the size of the crater is really deceiving.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Tania Daniels
I don’t think March was the right time to go. We didn’t see many animals or flamingo but it was a beautiful place.

Amazing animals and beautiful scenery
I was unsure about travelling in March after research on the internet but it was fantastic. There were so many animals to watch and enjoy because it wasn’t as hot and not so many tourists made the experience even better. The people are so friendly and our tour guide Saleh from Lion King Adventure was the best. We learnt a few Swahili words which the locals loved teaching us. We just love fitting in with local life and culture when we travel and for some that can be difficult but if you do, Tanzania is a wonderful country to visit and you won’t be disappointed.

After some research se choose Kiliholidays tours to do our safári. We had support during all trip and even before ( we had some questions regarding the payment, and we had all explenations by e-mail). Our guide in Dar és Salem, Isan was super disponible, kind and interested to show us as much as animals as possible. He definly make the difference in our Safari.

Amazing experience in Tanzania Safari + Zanzibar relaxing time with Shemeji Safari Tanzania
We had a 5 days safari (4 nights) departing from Arusha and arriving to Moshi (Weru Weru River Lodge). We stood there one night in order to see Kilimanjaro mountain and then we flew to Zanzibar spending 2 days in a resort, and the last day in a tour in Stone Town (the home of Freddie Mercury).
All the organization was arranged by Shemeji, first with Anna and then with Emma. Everything was almost perfect. Emma took care of everything, planning, transfers, flight from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, hotels, resorts and camping. Everything worked perfectly; Anna and Emma were 100% very professional. If you follow the pre departure instructions sent by Emma, for sure you will enjoy your trip.
Related with the safari, it was super. The guide, Adam, and the cooker, Isaac, were great. We could see almost all the animals thanks the great experience of Adam, and all the food prepared by Isaac was also great. My wife and I were very thankful to meet and spend 5 days with great people like Adam or Isaac.
Also related with the safari, we decided to go to camping. We were in 3 different camping and I have to say they are ok for the kind of camping we decided to do. So, if you prefer camping instead of lodge you don’t have to worry.
In Zanzibar we went to a resort in the south east of the island. At this season there were no sand in the beach, so if you are planning to go before Jun you should request a resort on the north of the island. That was the only thing that was not perfect.
Also in Zanzibar we had a guided tour in Stone town. It was a very nice tour, and if you want to know more about the Stone town history, I would recommend you doing a guided tour.
Thank you for Shemeji and his team to allow us to have this incredible experience. Anna, Emma, Adam and Isaac, hope to see you again one day… and for sure I will recommend Shemeji to my friends and colleagues.

Meddi was a fantastic tour guide and the tour was smooth without any issues.
Meddi was very accommodating during our weekend safari. He picked us out from our hostel. He and his brother drove us to our staying accommodation and stopped along the way for food. He was very accommodating with our payment method. During our safari, he was very knowledgeable about the compound and pointed out many animals. We also were able to go hiking and visited a waterfall during our stay. There were no hidden cost. He got us home safely. We were able to visit the orphanage that some of the proceeds will go to, which was fantastic. Meddi is a wonderful person with a big heart. Would recommend the tour to anybody visiting Uganda. God Bless
