Excellent Tour company.
Our journey first began in March 2023, where we found shadows of Africa(SOA) on SafariBooking. As a family of six, coming from Los Angeles we needed certain assurances such as organization and clarity. Working with Tash she did exactly that and more. The itinerary was thorough with maps, descriptions, and the cost analysis. She was able to build in some rest days to accommodate for our 4 kids so they can be refreshed on the safari.
When we took our safari June 2024, the pick up was smooth. The next day, we went out the Meturuni waterfalls / coffee tour. This is a must to do. Check out the photos. The water comes directly from Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Sylvester was well knowledgeable when doing the short hike to the waterfalls. He knew a lot of ppl in the village that helped made the experience more memorable. We ate bananas, avocados, passions fruit and more. The 2nd part which is the coffee tour was excellent too. He showed us how coffee is grown, processed, and made.
As we begun our journey to Arusha, we stopped at a place to eat called Kaliwa which so happen to be a lodge too. It was one of the two best vegetarian meals we had our entire safari trip. Also you had a chance to see Kilimanjaro.
We had the privilege to have Lucas as our guide. He was great with our little kids (pole, pole) on the safari. He made sure all of our dietary and exploratory needs were met. Although we had an excellent itinerary, he made sure we were not restricted by it. I see why people called going on safari, called it an once in a lifetime experience. We ate an hot meal in the middle of the Serengeti with wildebeest and zebras. The food was freshly prepared the morning of each safari trip that added to the loveliness of our trip. I give Lucas an 10/10. We saws the black rhino, Dek Dek, flamingos, hippos, elephants, of course Lions and many more. It was also fluently English, Spanish, German, and off course Swahili.
Tash recommended we do a cultural tour on our last day. I wish we did the tour over two days. We visited banana farm, rice farm, painting, word carving, local market, and then ate the second best vegetarian food on our trip from a local cook. It was a terrific option.
Lastly, Ben was our contact in Tanzania. We were able to quickly troubleshoot any situation. We appreciate his constant assurance and checking in with us daily.
Here are a few points I think you should think about. Bring more cash for tipping. Although it is voluntary, you will see the ppl that cater to you really deserves the tip and it goes directly to their pockets. Second we wish we brought more cash for souvenirs. I made a mistake thinking they will have a card machine in the middle of nowhere(Safari) when purchasing local honey or local crafts. It doesn’t exist. Also you can bargin more if you have cash especially shilling. As the cliché, says expect the unexpected!

This was certainly not our last visit to this wonderful part of Africa, Jambo !
First of all, a big compliment to the whole team at Shadows of Africa: The preparation and planning of the trip together with Jessica was individual and personal, the briefing and on-site support by Ben and especially Hosana and the team at the Olerai Lodge was exemplary and the tour with our guide Moody was a real experience because he brought us closer to the Serengeti, the country and the people. The selected accommodations (with special features such as the bucket shower in the Nyikani Camp) delighted us and the lunchtimes in the wilderness also contributed greatly to the positive experience. We saw Arusha and the Tarangire National Park, roamed large parts of the Serengeti National Park and drove through the Ngorongoro Crater. We had calculated the final time on Kilimanjaro a little tight. But all in all, we got an unforgettable impression on the compact 12-day trip. Karibou!

Friendly and professional
Extraordinary travel and safari in Tanzania. The perfect agency for organizing and carrying out an African adventure. The very first contact with the office and the friendly employee Marion made it clear that they are true professionals. The 6-day safari with guide Alex exceeded all expectations. Perfect accommodation, good food, lots of animals (even all the big 5), lots of information about the country and the people. In short, superb. Thx Shadows of Africa.

Beginning to end: Amazing Trip. 11 day's Masai Mara & Serengeti: And in late July we added Equator. Just 2 of us, my husband and I.
Alona: Did all the travel plans day by day. Any questions I had answered very quickly, and some advice. I don't think I have booked anything without her help.

Let me tell you they go out of their way to help you. ( we thank you for all the help)
