Great safari
We enjoyed our safari trip into Serengeti, Ngornogoro and Terengeri parks. I did not go to the north part of Serengeti/Maasi Mara, but I heard it will be amazing to watch the migration. I think I will try to make it as far north in the Serengeti park in next trips

Exceeded expectations!! Amazing experience with an incredible guide!
Everything about our trip was incredible; from the start of planning with Deo to the very moment we departed. Deo was great at suggesting places to go and which activities to enjoy at each location. Our safari was heavily centered around spending as much time as possible out in the bush and to experience a taste of a variety of ecosystems and landscapes. We visited Arusha Nat'l Park, Lake Manyara Nat'l Park, Serenti Central and North, Ngonrongoro Crater Nat'l Park, and Tarangire Nat'l Park. Each one offered a new experience and a new understanding of the animals behaviours in each park. We spent an average of 10 hours out in the bush each day, the days were long but so worth it! Daniel, our guide, had a vast knowledge of each park, the animals, birds, and natural behaviours. Being very interested in African conservation, ecology, and culture, the conversations flowed easily with Daniel and the long days felt like mere hours. He was an incredible, not only guide, but human. He is a very intelligent, compassionate, logical, and geniunely kind person and he made our trip all the more incredible. We loved every day spent with Daniel!
We saw the big 5 which everyone hopes to see. But we also saw a lot of amazing smaller species, such as Dik Diks, monitor lizards, pythons, antelopes, cheetah, mongoose, jackals and many many more! An incredible experience with incredible photo opportunities. Daniel would always find the best positions for the jeep so that I could Gert the perfect shot. Again Daniel was amazing!
Each accomodation we stayed at offered something new and unique. We stayed at mid range lodges and they were the perfect combination of rustic african while offering modern comforts, i.e. toilets and showers.
We ended our trip in Zanzibar where we didn't do any expeditions because we were so tired from our amazing safari. We spent 4 days laying around the pool enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks.
Earthlife Expeditions and all their amazing staff helped to make our trip to Tanzania a cherished memory that will last a lifetime! We will definitely be coming back!

Awesome safari!
The experience in Tanzania was fantastic!
Everything was amazing, my guide was young but very professional! There were some problems with our car, but he have been processed in a short time, so that our trip is not affected. And the food was good, even we have half vegetarian in our group , the chef also made a lot of delicious food!

Great Booking Company and Incredible Gorillas
Justus at Gorilla Bookings was great to work with. He was very responsive (I don't think he sleeps!) and he created a perfect trip. Four of us celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversaries in Uganda to see the Mountain Gorillas. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will never forget this amazing experience. Our local guide Ben was great and the lodges were beautiful. The jungle trekking was harder than we thought, but worth every ache and pain. You must visit the Mountain Gorillas and use Gorilla Bookings to arrange the trip-they are the BEST!

Great company and incredible gorilla trekking
Justus at Gorilla Bookings was great to work with. He was incredibly responsive to questions (I don't think he sleeps!) and created an amazing trip for us to visit the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. Spending time with the Gorillas was an amazing life experience, one we will never forget. Four of us traveled to Uganda for our 30th Anniversaries to see the Gorillas and the trip was perfect. Ben our local guide was great. The trekking was more difficult than we thought, but it was absolutely worth every ache and pain. I highly recommend this trip and definitely book with Gorilla Bookings-they are the BEST!

Amazing, stress-free and well-coordinated trip!
I can't praise this company enough - I would highly recommend Safari With Us to everyone!! My 4 friends and I had an incredible experience in Botswana and Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls). Andre was communicative and responsive via email and the entire trip was well-coordinated. You can leave it to them and they will take care of you. We loved Tanya, our driver/guide in Botswana - he made our trip so memorable and personal. Our 7-day trip was, in my opinion, about middle-tier prices. We stayed at a wide range (outdoor non-AC tents to hotels to nice lodges) and I thought the quality of our hotels/meals/safaris were solid and went beyond my expectations. A typical day would consist of driving for several hours (we had to cover a lot of ground) and 1 activity (e.g. safari, river boat cruise, interactive dinner). We felt the activities and accommodations were well-varied and balanced. Overall, it was such a stress-free and fun trip! In addition, I left some clothes in Zimbabwe and Tabo/Tanya/Andre coordinated over the course of several months to send them back to me in the United States!
If you are thinking about taking a safari trip, I would highly recommend taking it with them!

Great Guide & Safari who worked with our family well.
Our trip was booked by an agent and Somak handled the Kenyan part of the tour for us. Our driver David, was excellent and friendly. His knowledge of the Maasai Mara was excellent and he took the time to work out any birds we saw that he was unsure of the names of.
Made our Kenya Safari a real pleasure for our family.

A great and successful tour, anytime again.
We had 3 great days in Mikumi. Our guide took care of everything and was very attentive. The lodge we stayed in was great. Would do the Safari again at any time.

Amazing experience - couldn’t fault it
We, a group of six Irish girls based in Abu Dhabi went on a five day safari with Shemeji this June/July. We contacted the company and Emma, one of the owners began to plan our trip. Emma answered all our questions and queries with a prompt and friendly reply. She tailored a package to suit our group and ensured we had everything planned that we wished to do and see.
Bene was our guide for the safari. He was a complete professional and such a friendly lovely man. He knew the answers to all our ridiculous questions and made sure we got the most out of our safari experience.
All of the accommodation we stayed in was superb, with each place offering a more friendly welcome than the last.
We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five by day four. Along with this we saw over thirty other animals species. The landscapes and terrains of the four parks we visited were varied and enthralling.
I will have no hesitation in recommending Shemeji’s safaris to any and all of my friends.
