It was an excellent combination of beauty and adventure!
Overall rating
5/5

Everything was AMAZING! However I was brand new to the outdoor camping experience and was not really prepared. Having to pitch a tent, sleep outdoors knowing wild animals were surrounding me, disgusting outdoor bathrooms, on top of the torrential rain led to some very sleepless/uncomfortable nights for me. If I could afford to stay at a lodge then that would have made for a more comfortable and less scared Tanzanian experience. The breakfast was hit or miss. It was either shortbread biscuits with coffee or tea, which I do not drink (nor was it fulfilling) or delicious crepes (pancakes) with eggs and fruit, which I much preferred. The picnic lunch was not the best, but it was included with my package so I did not have to pay extra for food. The wildlife, scenery, and weather was breathtakingly GORGEOUS! It was so surreal the scenic beauty of the land and being able to see all the animals in their natural habitat. Unfortunately I was with a dull group that lacked personality, meaning they did not engage much in conversations when I tried to carry on one. They unfortunately did not share my same enthusiasm, which was disappointing because I was so excited and they were so...QUIET and reserved (Crickets, crickets). When we ate dinner they kept looking at the other tables, who were laughing and having fun, and I kept thinking, "I wish I was with that group!" Lol. However my guide was GREAT! He let me sit in the front with him and was very engaging and knowledgeable. I loved the transportation being in the safari jeeps and riding along the many different terrains! Overall my Tanzanian experience was an INCREDIBLE adventure that I would love to do again! (Just not in a tent)

Overall rating
4/5

We sow over than 30 different species of animals. Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro were the places that we visited. The environment was amazing and the weather conditions on February were ideal for the safari experience. The location of the camps is inside the savana. During the night you can see also wild animals around the tends. It looks like dangerous but it is just adventurous. There is no risk on that, because there are always guardians around. Fredie, our guide was very good. It is important to know where you have to go and find out where the wild animals are. He was very friendly and help us to have the best experience. Thank you

I did 5days Serengetti tour and it was great experience to see big5 easily including many lion!

But it is not so good to wait a lunch box in hotel in the morning more than 30mins before starting safari everydays.

Mostly It is great tour!

An amazing experience on safari in Tanzania with Bensons Safari
Overall rating
5/5

Our amazing time on safari in Tanzania was filled with incredible breathtaking scenery and wildlife experiences. We learnt so much about the country, the history and life in Tanzania. We saw so many different animals and birds that we just didn't have any idea we would see while there.
It is hard to define highlights as it was all so good, however we loved staying at Kubu Kubu tented accommodation in the Serengeti and Tarangire Safari Lodge tents in the beautiful Tarangire National Park.

Our guide, Peter, was fabulous. We would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a local English speaking guide.

The only thing we might do differently if we did this tour again is to perhaps stay more than one night at a couple of places and do half day tours and enjoy more of the facilities at the accommodation venues. We only got the opportunity to swim at two places due to timing of pool closures in the evenings.

All was wonderful except Shemeji Safari company. The itinerary they advertise is ambigious, they promise 2 days in Serengeti but it is actually 1 day. Beware this when comparing with other companies. It looks cheaper, but in fact it is much more expensive compared to what is offered. When tried to discuss this, instead of understanding and giving an explanation, manager (Emma) started to shout at me. Thanks to Patrick, our guide, who had much better communication abilities than Emma, our holiday is saved.

First-class experience, everything we could have wanted in a safari!
Overall rating
5/5

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. E-Trip made the experience enjoyable with great management and organisation of our 8 day trip. The wildlife and scenery in Tanzania speaks for itself, it is absolutely stunning, we saw everything from herds of elephant, leopard, black rhino (7 in one morning!), cheetahs on a hunt and lions feasting on a zebra. Through all of these, our guide gave us thorough information and made the trip run smoothly. The camps which we stayed were great, Lemala camps provide a luxury camping option whilst still remaining wild at the same time. I would highly recommend E-Trip to anyone looking to safari in Tanzania!

We booked an adventure tour. First week, we climbed Mt Kilimanjaro. A great tour, but you need a good constitution. We saw some people we bet, they will never reach the summit. The second week we've been on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyari. Different Landscapes with different species. You need to do all of it. At least we spent one week on zanzibar. One day in Stone town for history and the last days in Nungwi beach for diving.

Travelled with Tanzania roadside, a professional local company. We had a great guide who showed us the wonders of Tanzania. The weather in February was consistently hot and sunny. Our accommodation was good quality as was the food and service. The itinerary included Zanzibar which is must see.

Amazing honeymoon trip!
Overall rating
5/5

We loved our safari experience, first and foremost we loved our guide Ali, we was so nice and funny and went above and beyond so my husband and I could se everything we wanted to get out of our safari. Second, we loved our home cooked meals every single day! Delicious picnics in the middle of the wildlife. We loved every day, drives are long and understandably the roads are not smooth but that is part of the fun! Suddenly doing and turn and finding an elephant a lion or a giraffe! Thank you for helping us plan this unforgettable trip!

Overall rating

There is nothing more to be said about Serengeti and Ngorogoro wildlife, it's amazing.
Shemeji-Safari did everything to perform a wonderful safari for us.
Everything was perfect, even we booked a low-budget-Safari.
(big thanks for the second matress!)
Our guide (Seleman) had eyes like an eagle and Festo (our cook) prepared delicious meals for us.
We had 4 amazing days!
