Marvellous
In January we visited South Africa for the first time, on the occasion of my 70th birthday. We were recommended to start with Safari, so we started our adventure in Johannesburg, with 5 days 4 nights in Kruger park. We arrived at the lodge at 7 pm, started with dinner, then went to bed after a long journey, which started in the south of France by car to Barcelona, and flight. On arrival it was hot 38° and high humidity, but it felt lovely. The clock rang at 4 in the morning, quick shower coffee, and off on our first Safari. It was a fantastic experience to experience all the wild animals at arm's length. After about 3 hours of safari back to the lodge for a lovely breakfast, bathed in the crystal clear water in the pool, rested a bit and then went on the afternoon Safari. We were lucky to experience 4 out of 5 big five, unfortunately we did not see rhino. One day we went on an excursion to Swaziland, a fairly long drive of about 4 hours, but so well worth the trip, beautiful nature, wonderful people, we stopped at an artist's village, with lots of African art, fabrics in all colors and patterns, on to an authentic village, where you learned how people lived for generations, we got to experience traditional singing and dancing. our days in Kruger park are days I deeply value, the people were so wonderful and warm-hearted, we only experienced kindness wherever we were. The staff at the lodge were fantastic and accommodating, our tour guide did everything to ensure that we got the full value. We then continued our trip to Cape Town, we stayed with good friends for 5 nights in Stellenbosch, on a wine farm, it was fantastic to experience the old center of Stellenbosch with beautiful buildings. One day in Franschhoek we rode the wine train and buses between the most amazing vineyards, we walked back the main street, to see the beautiful houses, all the nice shops and have lunch. our last three nights we stayed in the Waterfront with good friends, there we visited Table Mountain and Robben Island. I am so happy with my trip to South Africa, so we have started looking at a new trip there in January 2026

really professional and helpful
I chose Shammah Wonders because I read many positive reviews and I can also confirm my excellent experience with them. I was able to appreciate their availability even before booking, with an exchange of messages on WhatsApp that were very useful for planning my vacation in Zanzibar. With Shammah I organized a 2-day safari at Nyerere National Park, an excellent guide and, even with a bit of luck, we were able to admire all types of animals present in the park (elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, etc.). Only the crocodiles were long in coming. The accommodation for the night in the lodge was of good quality (certainly don't expect luxury), even with a small evening performance by the Masai. The visit to a typical Masai village was also interesting. In short, the overall is undoubtedly positive and I would recommend Shammah Wonders for Safaris and various excursions in Zanzibar and in Tanzania in general.

Caleb is the best, he knows the trail like back of his hand
Our tour guide Caleb is the best, he went way out his way to get everyone the best view. Guy knows his stuff for sure, really enjoyed everything during the trip. Only complain is the masai village visit, feels like a scam. But that's just me, keep your guards up when you're there

Very good, professional, excellent, I'm super satisfied.
Thank you very much for the arrangement of the travel agency. The meals and accommodation exceeded my expectations, and I am very satisfied. Especially the tour guide driver Johnny Jackson, Johnny took care of our emotions and feelings, took us to see the super beautiful scenery, sunrise and sunset, and took us to find the animals we wanted to see and meet our requirements. Thank you very much, Johnny. I will never forget the journey these days. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with the Best Guide!
Absolutely incredible experience! We just returned from a three-day safari with John as our guide and driver, and we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure. From start to finish, John made sure every detail was tailored to what we wanted, creating a truly customized experience that exceeded all expectations.
His deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture brought every moment to life. Whether it was tracking elusive big cats, spotting rare birds, or finding the perfect sundowner spot, John’s expertise and instincts were unmatched. He always seemed to know exactly where to be at the right time, making each game drive exciting and full of surprises.
Beyond his skills as a guide, John was a fantastic travel companion—warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his patience in answering our endless questions made the experience even more enriching.
Everything was seamless, from early morning starts to long drives. The way he handled the vehicle over some challenging terrain was impressive, ensuring we were always comfortable and safe.
This safari was a dream come true, and John played a huge role in making it so special. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable journey!

Awesome safari experience
With friends, we visited the main National Parks around Arusha during five days. First day was Tarangire, then two days in Serengeti, followed by Ngorongoro crater, and ending at lake Manyara. All inclusive. Pick-up from and to airport, nights in arusha before and after the trip, camping accomodations and meals in between.
The food prepared by Tito and his team was awesome and varied. From breakfast to diner all was excellent, I now need to learn how to replicate at home.
The camping accomodations were in outmost conditions, very clean for how remote this places where. Tents were spacious and all equipment provided (mattresses, duvet, and pillows), also the support team in charge of loading and installing everything were the kindest people ever, as well as very helpful.
Our guide, Golden, gave his outmost to show us everything we could during our stay. He also answered all the questions we had about, the animals, the people, the languages, the geology, the history, and the culture of Tanzania.
Game drives were an awesome experience and we saw almost all the animals that there was to see (damn cunning leopards that don't want to be seen).
I'd recommend a thousand times going with Suricata and will go again with them if I have the opportunity.
