100% Professional. Perfect organization,very friendly guide ,excelent accomodation,amazing safari.
We started organizing a 3-day safari for two adults and an 8-year-old girl from home. Shengena immediately answered our questions and sent us a detailed itinerary and prices for the 3 days, specifying the accommodation and board during the tour that we followed throughout.Our plane was 6 hours late. We could not notify Shengena of the delay in time, however, the guide was waiting for us at the airport...
The 3 days were wonderful. We visited 3 national parks. The guide was very kind, ,nice person and highly professional. He was flexible and he felt exactly where we needed to rest a little, what kind of animals we needed a little more time for, and how much information we could digest. Wonderful tour,highly recommended Company. Perfect service,at a compatitive price.

Asante Sana Shengena, for making our Dream come true!
After searching through many companies to plan our first Safari, we made a wonderful choice. Shengena made our dream come true, they had very reasonable prices and were flexible with the accomodations. Deus was very quick at replying our emails and answering all our questions. Our guide/driver Goldwin was super friendly and kind, very professional person with a lots of knowledge about the animals and vegetation. He knew where to find all the animals and we were lucky to see the Big 5, also he was really good at driving through the rough and muddy roads. Thanks to Goldwin we had the pleasure to stop by at one of many Masai Villages on our way back from Seregenti, we really enjoyed the time we spent together, we made some memorable moments. The accomadations were incredible, Kontiki campsite was extraordinaire! very clean and food was delicious, the whole staff was Amazing very nice people we had a great time sharing our cultures with eachother at the firepit, the Manager Gabriel was fantastic always attentive with ours needs. We would not hesitate to recommend Shegena to anyone. They are a small company who is truly committed to customer satisfaction. The whole the team was Amazing and Professional, we couldn't be more happy with our choice.
Thank you Shengena!

Very friendly guide, who did everything to spot the animals and told me a lot about them.
Fast response time. Transfer and pick up went smoothly. Guide did the best he could to provide me a good safari with a lot of information regarding the animals. Tented lodge was really nice and clean.

Amazing Safari in Tanzania with Shengena Adventure
Me and my wife Ana we did safari to Tanzania on June 2021. We explored 5 days trip that took us to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Honestly we have been doing safaris in Africa BUT this trip was fantastic ever.
Deus in the office was quick replying all our questions, he is so good guy and he is charming all the time. Thanks Deus my friend.
Can't finish writing this review without mentioning our amazing guide "Godluck" he is so knowledgeable and he knows all things in the bush, he was able to see animals from far distance. We really liked the way he was using radio in the car to communicate with other guides where animals could be seen.
I recommend Shegena Adventure 100%, Asante sana.

Nice tour guide, but very disappointing car
Our guide Stanley is very nice with all the animal knowledge he has and very informative with animals location. We had a nice time because of him.
However, the jeep is really in a bad situation. First time it was tank being cut off, so we spent 1-2 hrs with mechanics repairing the car.
Second time it was the some parts falling apart and the jeep is not moving at all, so we stopped for a repair. Thankfully there was another jeep going by and the guide and group were willing to take us with them and continue the trip for the day, otherwise we would have lost on precious safari day because the jeep was finally fixed at 9pm or so. We thought all jeeps are in bad condition, but when riding with another jeep, we realized how bad condition our jeep was.
Third time, the jeep broke down on our way to airport. Luckily, the jeep broke down in Arusha, so the company quickly had another car come by and pick us up and arrived airport on time. If it hadn't broke down in Arusha, we would have missed the flight.
We were lucky coz each broke down we were not heavily affected because the timing was right. But it could be more serious consequences with those broke downs.
Really need to consider again about the car condition.

Wonderful
Our guide Godwin from Shengena Adventure made our whole safari experience. He was super experienced with the Serengeti Area and made sure we saw the Big Five. We had the best days of our lives thanks to him and the safari. He is unafraid, funny and accurate and we really had the best time with him. He even sings well and make everyone feel at home. I would highly recommend him to anyone doing the safari with this Company, Asante Sana Godwin.

We saw a lot of wild animals
Since we booked the 2-day trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, there has been a good follow-up and information from the organizer. Always quick answers to our questions. We could adapt the trip to suit our wishes and needs. We were picked up at our hotel in a slightly older Safari car, which, however, could do what it was supposed to. Our guide was friendly and very accommodating. In the parks we saw many animals and the guide had a good network to get to the places in the parks where the animals were. The overnight stay between the two parks was at a lodge with spacious rooms and good food. An organizer that I can recommend.

10 day Safari Trip
Having read the previous great reviews for Shengena Adventure my boyfriend and I were confident in our selection of this company for our safari in Tanzania. However for the 10 day safari package we chose with this company things did not go to plan. Firstly there seemed to be a miscommunication between the tour operator and our guide from the get go as the very first morning we were left waiting for an hour to be picked up as the tour guide went to the wrong hotel. We left it go as we were excited for our trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and patient when we went on game drives. Then the switch changer for the fuel tanks wouldn’t work just as we began our journey to Serengeti. Having received help from 2 locals we got going. Again we let it go because these things happen. One night before what we were told was our hot air balloon ride the hotel said the hot air balloon company (Serengeti balloon safari- would highly recommend!) had our reservation for Thursday not Wednesday. We got onto our tour operator who said it was on Thursday even though our guide had told us Wednesday. We asked our tour operator to tell the guide as he was staying in the local village and not the hotel that we would be at the hotel in the morning not the hot air balloon field. Unfortunately due to lack of service in the area no one could contact him so they left us waiting for 3 hours the next morning to be collected when someone could finally contact him. Again we tried to stay positive even though the only ones missing out was us. That day we also got a flat tire (again it happens) and then the original issue of the fuel changer acted up again because the guide did not put fuel back in the first tank so that meant he had to manually switch the fuel tanks again. Little did I know my boyfriend had planned a surprise proposal in the middle of the Savannah for that afternoon with champagne. He had asked the tour company what could be organized and was offered to purchase a champagne lunch. He had paid a heavy enough fee for permits to go off road and get out of the jeep and the bottle of champagne. My boyfriend told me later that he had been informed by the guide during the day that he can’t go off road as he’ll get in trouble and my bf explained that’s why he paid for the permits. He was told the permits didn’t exist but agreed to help anyway which was nice of him. My boyfriend later showed me the stunning picture of the white table clothed table with an ice bucket and bottle of champagne that he paid for vs what we got- 2 camping chairs with a metal table and a warm bottle of sparkling 0.0% alcohol grape juice. Now the moment was perfect based on the setting and of course the actual proposal but I felt terrible for my bf having paid the extra money for no reason. He had tried to organize the hot air balloon in the am and then followed by that so we wouldn’t be covered in safari dust for the proposal. But based on how the trip had been going we just had to laugh. It was an actual argument for the tour company to give back the money to my bf for the “champagne lunch” even though we didn’t get champagne and the permits he paid for didn’t exist. The jeep then proceeded to break down so many times I lost count. At one stage bf pushed the jeep with 3 other men as it jeep wouldn’t start without a push. The middle console of the jeep was falling out onto the gear stick. We laughed initially at the “African massage” you got because the jeep was so bumpy but when we got collected by the hot air balloon jeep and rode the same roads we just realised how bad the condition of our jeep was. It was still bumpy but nothing like our jeep. The shocks of our jeep must have been completely gone. We completely understand sometimes things go wrong. But the amount of things that went wrong at no stage did the tour operator offer any financial compensation (besides giving back the money for the failed champagne lunch that they basically paid nothing for) as we were the ones that missed out on basically half a day of game drives. We paid a lot for this trip and we work hard for our money. Now we saw all the animals we wanted to see and all the hotels and staff were great so would definitely recommend for anyone to do a safari. However we saw so many different companies so I personally wouldn’t take the risk and go with this one just in case you have a similiar experience to us. Our guide said he was free lance so I would say given a decent jeep and correct information to go by he would be great. He was so informative about the animals and thankfully was able to get the jeep going each time. Not to mention he did go out of his way to drive out on the Savannah for the proposal.
