Shemeji fulfilled my dream
This 14-day trip (12 days on safari) was all I expected and more.
From the first contact, I felt that my Shemeji representative understood what I wanted regarding budget, itinerary, lodgings, etc. She answered my gazillion questions in the best delays and gave me clear information. I did not feel pushed to upscale or spend more than my stated budget (which was not the case with other companies I contacted). The evening before the start of my safari, a Shemeji representative came to my lodge to welcome me and give me a briefing for the following days.
During the trip, I stayed at 7 different lodges and they were exactly as described - no bad surprise. All of them had all the amenities advertised; everything was very clean, bottled water was provided for toothbrushing, safes for valuables and mosquito nets were in place, and basic toiletries were provided. The food was good and plentiful. The teams, from the managers to the waiters and security guards, were excellent. They were attentive and cheerful and made you feel extremely welcome. As a 59-year-old female solo traveler, I felt safe in all places at all times. If you needed anything and it was in their power to make it happen, they would. Each lodge had its particular charm, from huge tents to circular Masaai-like rooms. The one in Ikoma has a particular place in my heart because, from my tent patio, I saw giraffes and zebras ambling by pretty close as well as a group of wildebeests running toward the North.
As far as wildlife viewing, it was absolutely fantastic. I had a great guide, Englebert, who not only knew the Serengeti inside out, could answer any question, drove efficiently and safely, had eyes like a hawk, found great places to view every animal but was also very educational on the ecosystems, the different types of wildlife conservation areas throughout Tanzania, and about life in Tanzania in general. He was pivotal in the success of my trip. My other local guides (Mto wa Mbu village, Masaai Boma village, Pololeti Game Reserve, and Ikoma Walking Safari) were also great. I learned a lot about farming, daily life, customs, and the flora through them.
As far as pricing goes, I feel like I received good value for my budget. I hope to be able to go back to Tanzania in a few years and will not hesitate to book again with Shemeji.

Great tour operator and amazing tour. Everything was perfect
Tour to Rwanda and Uganda with Frena was amazing. It was organised perfect. Everything was on time and according to plan. Our guide and driver Dismas was great. When we needed he was very professional, and also he was great companion - very friendly, positive, and full of knowledge. Highly recommend tour with Frena and Dismas. And to compare. After 4 days tour in Uganda we had 4 days Safari in Tanzania. In Tanzania was very bad - they just want to earn a lot of money and not trying at all. So if you thinking about tour and Safari in Africa - go to Uganda - the country is beautiful, people very friendly, and tour company like Frena and guides like Dismas just great and perfect. They try hard to make your tour amazing.

The best tour company for a trip of a lifetime
Wow is all I can say. Thank you so so much to Sunita, Smera and Mr Bhatt who are the most incredible people that made our honeymoon so special. Everything was planned to detail, excellent communication and we will definitely be coming back to Kenya for another safari. Our driver and guide Armstrong was also incredible, he kept us safe throughout our trip and was so knowledgable and accommodating for the week he was with us for. The entire experience and hospitality was incredible. The booking process was smooth and I was kept up to date with everything with no issues at all. I really cannot recommend a better tour company than Kenia Tours if you are looking to go on a safari.

The best. That's it.
We had an absolutely stunning experience, traveling though Kenya and their National Parks with Malika Travel. Firstly, the people at the (small so VERY personal) office helped us find the perfect safari trip for us. Secondly, we got ourselves a driver who appeared to be very very good in his job. Driving us safely through the rough roads of Kenya, showing us all the beautiful spots AND animals and telling us lots of interesting information and facts about it all. Till now, we didnt pay this amount of money for a trip. But also till now, we never had a trip worth the money we paid so much as this one. In our hearts forever. Thank you Malika.

Best Safari experience
Make this tour with Kihindo was undoubtedly a great choice! From the beginning, Winnie provided us with all the information we needed to choose the option that best suited our expectations. We experienced flight delays, lost our luggage, and they were not only always waiting for us but also helped us recover them (calling the airport, etc.). In other words, they went above and beyond their duties, which we greatly appreciated, especially in an unfamiliar country with a different language.
We were taken to Mikumi Park by Michael and Meshack, who were both very helpful.
As for the Safari, it was absolutely incredible. The guides Saloniki and Danfort knew how to identify important details so we could see as many animals as possible (lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, warthog Pumba, etc.).
We really only have thanks to give and highly recommend the experience. Special thanks to Winnie, who was always always available.

Unforgettable safari trip
We passed through the Ngorongoro volcano and stopped at many washroom camps. Then we entered the Serengeti and saw lions not far away. They were very close. 🦁 We walked towards our direction and were almost close to the car. Then! An antelope was approaching, and the lion immediately hid in a prone position, and then quickly pounced. Although it looked like a child's play to me, it was really a matter of life and death for the antelope. However, the lion failed to hunt in the end. It seems that it is not so easy to have a full meal. Then we met three hyenas. I have to say that they are really ugly, ugly and cute. There are many unforgettable animals. A great safari trip

They provide us with professional knowledge, enthusiasm and patience, considerate service.
This 18-day journey was absolutely one of our most memorable travel experiences in our life. Before our trip, our communication with Morning Star Tours & Travel was smooth and simple and they offered us with a good deal so we clicked quickly without considering too much. The route organization of this trip was reasonable, starting from Mount Kenya and Samburu, which is situated in the northern part of Kenya. We then visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli in sequence, which almost covered all iconic attractions in Kenya. Every two national park tours were separated by a one-day lake excursion, and this arrangement made the whole 12-day safari trip less tired from both physical and visual reasons. From our perspective, all tourist attractions that we had been to were definitely worth visiting, although some animals are shared by some of these spots, these places have their own unique variety of animals as well. For example, we saw three different types of giraffes which differ from each other in different places. The balloon trip in Masai Mara was astonishing and this was a unique experience in this trip for sure. Each camp/ lodge/ hotel during this trip had their own special features, including fantastic geological sites, top food and considerate room service. Our tour guide& driver, Peter Rono, was absolutely a top man, with professional skills and extroverted personality. He could always pick us on time, teach us about the specialized knowledge of all animals and find a nice vision for taking pictures. His sharp eyesight and extraordinary communicating ability helped us to see cheetahs, leopards and lions many times during the trip. We had access to gain a deeper understanding about the development of Kenya and local people through communicating with Peter. Unfortunately, Kenya was affected by people’s demonstration at the days when we were in our safari trip. Thanks to Peter’ s sophistication and courage, he dealt with all potential challenges successfully along the way and kept us safe until sending us to the railway station where we finished our safari journey and took the train to Mombasa. During the last few days in Kenya, we tried scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing and chasing dolphins in Mombasa. We enjoyed ourselves in hotels and drew to an end for this excellent journey. We will recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel to our friends if they want to personalize a trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

100% Recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris
We had the MOST INCREDIBLE time on our safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Not only did we see 4 of the big 5, leopards were hard to find, but we also got to go on a cultural walk and visit a coffee plantation. Our guide Leslie was outstanding and told us the history of Tanzania and about the animals. Our private tour was a once in a life time experience and we couldn't have asked for a better safari. Brenda is easy to work with and everything was coordinated seamlessly. I've already recommended them to my colleagues that are traveling to Tanzania soon.
