There is something kind but something to be desired
I searched several companies for a four-day safari. I communicated with some of them, and chose Sereneti Wakanda because it had the fastest feedback and the best reviews. The young president tried to help us in every aspect, including hotel reservations other than safari. As everyone knows, safari tours are expensive. The payment is based on a contract with the company to establish a trust relationship. But we had a different tour from the contract from the first day. I had to go to Tarrengirre on the first day of the contract, but they took me manyara lake saying that the lake was better. In fact, I was a little embarrassed because I chose to exclude some of the companies that didn't go to Tarengirle. They said there were more animals in Lake Manyara, but even if it was true, I wanted to go to Tarengyre, so I was sorry about that. The guide(Simba) was not very kind to us who could not speak English. The problem occurred on the third day. Apparently, the contract said that on the third morning we were going to a game drive to watch the sunrise. But our group was divided into two lodgings, so the guide came to pick us up only after the sun had already risen. On the way, I asked why I didn't go to see the sunrise, but the guide said, "Sunrise? The sun is already out.' I was Angry, I emailed boss to complain about this. the guide who spoke to the boss didn't apologize to me but rather got angry. " Instead of telling him, I told the president right away," he said. He also said that it would have been difficult to see the sunrise anyway because of the bad weather today. Even if it was true, it had to be carried out in accordance with the contract. Satisfaction is a matter for me to judge. Personally, I expected the sunrise the most during the safari tour. And if he couldn't drive a sunrise game, he had to explain to me in advance that he didn't do it for some reason before I complain. Before I left the tour, I was told from boss that our group's accommodations were divided into two. When I heard the story, I was worried that the guide could waste a lot of time picking us up from two places. So I asked how far the two accommodations are from each other. The president said they were close. However, the guide said, "It was hard for me to come and go because it was an hour away from two lodgings." What the hell is true? Of course, we watched all of the Big Five. However, it was quite regrettable that I did not go to sunrise or Tarengirre, which I expected. And I am not quite satisfied that I did not follow the contract and did not seek any concessions from me in advance. But our chef Suleimani was quite friendly and kind. The nature of Serengeti was so wonderful and beautiful, but some of them left something to be desired.

A Wonderful and a well planed tour for chimps trekking-
We did a 3 day tour out to Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park with Kaara Adventures, specially to see the gorillas. From Kigali International Airport to Volcanoes National park and from there we enjoyed 130KM driving ride with their tour guide and after that we have some refreshments and get relaxed at a lodge; they provide us. From there we went to explore the Gorilla tracking. During the trip we got the chance to get up close and personal with the Gorilla and spend a full hour watching with photography. This was also amazing among the all activities, as that park was a home for gorillas and some other animals like golden monkey, since there are approximately 5,000 and more gorillas just in Uganda. At the end of tour, they arranged a special trip to the airport. Samuel was great in terms of answering all my questions in a timely manner and making sure everything was as I wanted. He is really such an honest, trustworthy guy.

Our visit to the National parks Tarangire and Serengeti and Conservation area Ngorongoro
We just came back from our trip to Tanzania part of which was also safari tour organized by Shemeji Safari company. We had a great opportunity to visit beautiful national parks Tarangire and Serengeti as well as conservation area of Ngorongoro where we enjoyed abundance of animal life and unforgettable colours of true Africa. No need to mention that we brought back home plenty of pictures as well as nice memories which we'll share with our friends and family.
All this would not be possible without excellent guide and reliable driver and we had this in Adam, employee of Shemeji S. We would like to thank him for his valuable and professional support during our entire tour. Due to his efforts, attention and care we managed to learn a lot not only of animals and plants we saw in the parks but also about your nice country and your people. Adam was always ready to answer each of our questions and was even having a book with him showing all animal species we could encounter in the parks.
Finally let me mention that our transfers from Kilimanjaro airport to town of Arusha and back were arranged by the driver named Frank who was reliable and did his job according our best expectations.

The Safari was well planned
This 14days Safari was to Kenya for Maasai Mara Sopa lodge, Samburu Sarova Shaba, Sarova lion hill and Kilima camp in Amboseli. We enjoyed every bit of this Safari. Jimmy was our guide and very knowledgeable. He was also engaging and social. He made us laugh all the way. He was a good time keeper. I got the whole value of my buck. After the Safari we went to Diani for a relaxation time at Neptune paradise. The white Diani beach is sandy and good . I would encourage everyone to go for this Safari. You gotta see animals and then relax. It’s was a 14days if Africa Safari.
We also visited Westgate Mall where we did shopping and bought some souvenirs.
Bonfire Next year when my friends are visiting Africa, I have recommended Jimmy as their guide

3 Day Short Exciting Tanzania Safari
Thanks to the team at Connect African Safaris, we loved this budget safari. My boyfriend and I had travelled to Tanzania for Mount Kilimanjaro trekking and we wanted to connect the National parks in Northern circuit.. We were picked from our hotel in Arusha by Msago, a very charismatic guy with many stories to tell. We were very grateful to be part of this short adventure and we did not get bored at all. The place we enjoyed the most was at the Ngorongoro crater where the experience was just surreal – so many animals in one space. . We also loved seeing the lions, giraffes and hippos in all the three parks. Overall it was a great trip though a bit short. Thanks to Connect African safaris again for their care and excellent organization skills especially during the ongoing exchange of emails that helped plan our trip to your choices and liking.
