This is a most helpful, supportive, knowledgeable and professional tour operator you can imagine.
We have booked an individually planned safari trip through northern Tanzania with a beach add-on on Zanzibar. This has been a lifetime experience and we cannot stop thinking of our wonderful experiences during this privately guided tour. A major advantage is that Paradise and Wilderness (P&W) owns the hotels, lodges and camps it offers, a modern fleet of specialized safari cars, and employs their own selected guides, which all allows for the highest standards during the whole trip. Wildlife observation and game drives were the major components of the vacation in our case. We started in Arusha from a conveniently located cosy place in a quiet part of central Arusha (hotel Africa Safari Arusha). Africa Safari Lake Manyara is a lovely tented camp at the shores of the lake and allows easy exploration of the National Parks in the surroundings (Tarangire, Manyara). Continuing via Ngorongoro crater, we crossed the Serengeti and found another nice camp on its western central edge just outside the parks gate (but in the ecosystem) called Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma. Here, we experienced sleeping in the bush but in very nice high quality tents. The camp had so nice staff and very delicious food and full day service, we just loved it. This is also true for the brand-new Africa Safari Massai Boma, the newest addition to P&Ws portfolio of accommodations. Here, you sleep in a traditional round hut with all the amenities you can imagine, you also get pampered and served unbelievably good food. It also offers very authentic guided trips by the local Massai people who are really keen on teaching you what nature has to offer. The Massai tribe is also prominent in another stunning place, Lake Natron. This is such a fascinating place, a magic landscape and scenery, nice options of hiking trips, bird watching etc. – all of this very easy to do from another perfect accommodation – Africa Safari Lake Natron. This is a perfectly run new glamping camp with the most beautiful view of the lake and the mountains and the holy volcano of the Massai people. It cannot be recommended highly enough. Back in Arusha, we did game drives in the Arusha Park and walked around Lake Duluti. Another highlight was a tour to an authentic village where we were offered a very nice insights into daily subsistence life. We learned how to grow and produce coffee, sugar and all sorts of other agricultural products. If you want something real and not the usual tourist stuff, book a tour with Moivaro Cultural Tourism through P&W.
The whole safari trip was so enjoyable because of the guidance and company of the knowledgeable and most motivated guide David. He made sure we could do the maximum of wildlife observations but also helped us diving deeper into the countries rhythm and realities. We learned so much in the 2 weeks.
P&W has several hotels on Zanzibar, we stayed in a recommendable mid-range option Reef & Beach resort in Jambiani in a relaxed corner on the SE of the island.
All in all we can sum up and confidently say, if you do a safari in Tanzania, do it with P&W!

After payment you will feel poor but after safari you feel that you are the richest person alive.
Here are the reasons why I have chosen Shemeji Safari:
(1) quick replies
(2) a proper PDF offer with descriptions, pictures and prices
(3) payment can be made to an European bank
We ordered 4-days lodge safari for 2pax.
The tour took us through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro National Park, Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater. If you choose the same trip, you better take your warm clothes with you (I mean winter jacket, seriously)!
Our guide Patrick was very skillful driver. You will experience some African massage. There are a lot of driving on different roads.
Accommodations were incredible. Dinners and breakfasts were delicious. I didn't like our lunch boxes as I saw what others ate for lunch (pasta, huge sandwiches, fresh fruits). I am very picky when it comes to food, so maybe you will not have the same issue during your safari. I still suggest you to buy some snacks for backup.
It is hard to describe all the emotions when you see wild animals in their natural environment. You cannot leave Africa without going to a safari. I recommend to do the safari with a local guide because they will take you to the best locations. They communicate with each other by radio to find most rare animals.

Amazing Safari!
This was our first safari experience so we were a little bit worried about what to expect. During the bookings process, the communication was very good and Emma helped us with all our questions. Upon arrival our driver Frank made us feel at home right away. Our 5-day safari was above your expectations. We saw so much wildlife. Guide Julius really had an eye for spotting the animals. It was an amazing safari and we hope to come back!

Wonderful Safar & Zanzibar holiday
We started our adventure with a safari to the northern parks. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Pemba really was the best. He gave us lots of information about the parks and the wildlife. He had many stories to tell about his long experience as guide. We stayed a few nights at African Glamping in the tented lodges. The view was amazing and the service really good. We stayed another 2 nights in Serengeti Central which was an experience I will never forget. Waking up with the sounds of nature and animals so close to our tent. At the end of the safari we took a flight to Zanzibar where we stayed a few nights at Reef & Beach resort. It was the perfect combination of a safari and relaxing at the beach. Asante sana Paradise!

Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our safari tour in August 2025 offered perfect value for money. The guides were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and always friendly and attentive. The accommodations were very comfortable, and every host went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. The food was consistently excellent and more than sufficient. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone and honestly have no suggestions for improvement.

AMAZING
The trip was an incredible experience. Seeing animals up close that you usually only see in the zoo was unique. Our guide pointed out and explained so much to us. The accommodations were also an experience. Thank you for this unique trip.

Our holiday was beautiful and perfectly organized.
From beginning until the end, everything was perfectly organized. The tour operator did a fantastic job, taking care of every detail and communication was easy and clear. Everyday was well planned and our tour guide always made sure, that the plan was ok for us. The lodges we stayed at were really luxurious, food was delicious (we didn‘t have any health problems) and staff was friendly.
All in all, we had a fantastic experience and we will definitely come back :)

Fantastic Safari with an extraordinary wildlife experience
We highly recommend our driver, Emanual. His exceptional courtesy and friendliness, as well as his in-depth knowledge of the wildlife in the Serengeti, made our safari an unforgettable experience. He could spot animals from a great distance and safely bring us close enough to take numerous beautiful souvenir photos. In addition, the vehicle was cleaned every day, and we always had plenty of food and drinks on board. This is particularly noteworthy given that, due to the rainy season and the fact that Emmanuel helped pull another vehicle out of the mud twice, the vehicle was completely caked in mud. We were impressed by this exceptional service. Furthermore, we noticed that Emmanuel was highly regarded by all the other drivers and was also seen as a leader due to his wise foresight. In our view, he is an extremely responsible and prudent guide and driver with an enormous knowledge of wildlife and nature. We were impressed by his careful handling of the vehicle and its passengers. We felt safe and well taken care of at all times.
