Avis sur Chalema Tanzania Safaris

Beautiful safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Natron

We took Chalema Tanzania Safaris & Keith as a guide for our Christmas holidays safari. It was very well organized, Joel took time to tailer-made our safari and was very reactive. We loved the beautiful colors of Lake Natron, the Maasai culture at the Giraffe Eco Lodge, and the waterfall trail. Our nights at Tanzania Bush Camp in Serengeti we’re amazing, straight in the bush, we saw 20 lions passing by after our dinner!! It’s a must go, with so many animals + the great migration of wildebeest. Our guide, Keith, was very professional, patient & resilient. He drove us around for 5 days, sometimes 10 hours in a row. We saw the Big Five thanks to him and countless cats! We were almost bored of seeing lions at the end of our safari…! I would warmly recommend Chalema Tanzania Safaris & our French speaking guide Keith whom help us live this extraordinary African experience!

Fabulous

I took my parents in law and my wife to a safari and after several recommendations, we decided to go ahead with Joel/Chalema. He is very punctual and always in a good mood. he has an excellent knowledge of wildlife and shares it with great passion. He speaks French very well and my parents-in-law could speak to him directly which made my stay easier! Really a great man

Friendly and responsive professional

We went on a one week safari with CHALEMA TANZANIA SAFARIS led by Joël, Joël is ultra responsive, we asked a lot of questions before booking our safari, he knew how to take the time to talk by phone and by WhatsApp call. We had a return within 30 minutes maximum, which is very valuable for any travel organization. In addition to being attractive in terms of budget, Joël is a former driver guide, so he has a perfect command of the route and the organization of a safari. The trip was just exceptional, we had the chance to see several animals, the private safari was managed by Georges our driver, the dishes offered and the lodges were of high quality. Georges was able to meet our expectations, he is very patient, super professional and very friendly. We could not have hoped for better as a driver, he managed to find magnificent animals including cheetahs off the beaten track, we were just a few meters away. What good memories! I strongly recommend CHALEMA TANZANIE and I recommend that you choose GEORGES as your driver if possible. We were super satisfied! Thank you Georges and thank you Joel for the surprise at the end of the safari, It touched us! See you soon ! Mickael DM (automatic translation from French)

Joel the perfect guide !

Magnificent safari carried out with Joel at the beginning of July 2021. Tarangire and Serengeti parks as well as the conservation area and the Ngorongoro crater hold no secrets for him. He has a perfect command of the local flora and fauna and, which is a superb asset, speaks perfect French and is extremely friendly. We immediately felt confident with him, from our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport until our last day punctuated by the visit of downtown Arusha. Impeccable organization, completely privatized safari for the couple or the family at more than reasonable prices. Also thought of our cook Boni who is an integral part of the expedition and who prepares magnificent dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all in a good mood. We will do again and recommend without hesitation a safari with Joel! (automatic translation from French)

Magnifique

What an amazing stay! We took full eyes! We are still on cloud nine. Thanks to Joël for organizing these 8 days of totally flexible safari as we wished. Indisputable value for money. Efficient exchanges by WhatsApp. The lodges were excellent, the food too. Parks done: Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Natron. Special mention for our guide Ayubu, very attentive and who answered all our questions. We were lucky enough to see the lioness land next to the wheel of our car. In short, I do not have the words to describe what we experienced. Just a word of advice: go ahead, go for it with your eyes closed! Thank you Joel and Ayubu

Celine

The best safari operator we could have find

From our arrival (and even during the preparation before) to our departure,Praygod and Joël have been the best guides, driver and host possible. They changed a wonderful travel in a awaken dream! Our guide was speaking a good French and was always available for a question or to organize the best place and the best moment to find this animal or this other. The hotels were also wonderful! Thanks, thanks a lot Praygod and Joël!

Excellent and very exceptional safari

We did a tailor-made 6-day safari: Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti to the Mara River where we witnessed the wildebeest migration. A fabulous safari, we were with Joël who has an incredible mastery of the different places and a lynx eye. We were able to observe paintings of fabulous animals, we received lots of information about those we didn't know or knew very little about. We were accompanied in a remarkable way by this professional whom I recommend to everyone. Joël speaks perfect French and accompanies all requests. An outstanding driver on sometimes very damaged tracks. Delighted tourists (automatic translation from French)

Excellent team, who took care of us from the preparation to the end

Our family (2 adults, 3 daughters 20/17/10) was absolutely delighted with our trip in Tanzania. Joel helped us to build a "a la carte" journey (safari+zanzibar) and the execution was perfect. On top of that we were very lucky and saw the big 5 (and more) thanks to Shabane (our guide) and really enjoyed relaxing and snorkeling in Zanzibar. Thanks to the whole Chalema team who was reactive, flexible and so nice !

An Unforgettable 9-Day Safari in Tanzania

We were fortunate to experience a complete and diverse 9-day safari with Chalema Tanzania Safaris. The itinerary was perfectly organized, combining different parks and landscapes: - Tarangire: our first immersion, with majestic elephants and iconic baobabs. - Ngorongoro Crater: a magical day in this one-of-a-kind site, teeming with wildlife. - Serengeti (Central, South, and North, Mara River): several days in the heart of the endless plains, witnessing the Great Migration and observing big cats. - Lake Natron: stunning volcanic landscapes, waterfall hikes, and encounters with the Maasai people. Altogether, we explored four major parks and spent full days on safari, striking the perfect balance between wildlife discovery, cultural immersion, and relaxation in comfortable lodges.

An unforgettable safari with Chabani!

We had the chance to go on a 4-day safari with Chabani, and the experience was simply exceptional! Chabani is a passionate, dedicated, and incredibly knowledgeable guide. He gave his all to provide us with the best wildlife sightings and unique moments. Thanks to him, we experienced magical and unforgettable moments, surrounded by the beauty of the wild. If you're looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience, we highly recommend Chabani without hesitation! A true 5-star experience!

Mélissandre

Top Tour Operator Tanzania

The safari went really well! A big thank you to our incredible guide, Chabani alias Chabinou, who spoke French perfectly and whose perfect knowledge of the terrain made this experience unforgettable. The food cooked locally has always been excellent: we were never treated to simple snacks, but always to dishes prepared with taste. The little extra of the trip was our two nights spent in the bush camp, in the heart of nature, surrounded by wild animals. Thanks to Chabani, we experienced an extraordinary adventure, which we will never forget!

Unforgettable safari with Chalema Tanzania Safaris

Super 8-day safari organized by Joël, a very professional, very responsive and attentive person, via WHATSAPP; nothing to complain about the choice of lodges and camps, picnics with tablecloths and stemmed glasses... Our driver Chabani was able to show us many animals in their environments and we really appreciated his kindness. Agency to consult without fail! (automatic translation from French)

Perfect! Definitely coming back

Best destination ever! go for it ! My fiancé and I have visited Tanzania in August. We have been recommended Shalema agency by a friend from our country. We had a 6 days safari all included with Aruna, our guide and companion during the trip. We have visited the northern part of Tanzania, slept in tents and drove many km to see the big 5. We were so lucky to have Aruna as our guide, as he was patient, welcoming and always ready to go above and beyond for us to get to see our favorite animals which were sometimes hidden far in the savanah. We felt safe and taken care of along the trip. The agency shared some important information about the clothing to wear, the budget for tips and many other facts about the country. The overall price was absolutely worth it. A memory for a lifetime.

Don’t hesitate to chose Chalema!! Thanks again to Joël (director and organizer) as well as our driver-guide Ludovic for this authentic experience.
