Laura was consistently thorough and kept us well informed through the entire process.
It was so reassuring to know that Laura had every aspect of this trip planned down to the last detail. We could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning was excellent throughout the whole process, just one little mishap in regard to our WhatsApp group being directed to the wrong person so information was not received at one point leading to a bit of confusion. Other than that everything was meticulous. The accommodation and food was absolutely superb. Drives were often long on bumpy dusty roads but to us this only added to the experience of Africa and always gave us plenty to look at along the way. Our driver, Edwin was brilliant and all of us formed a great friendship with him during our time on Safari. We highly recommend him as a driver/guide. We would definitely use Shadows of Africa again for any future trips here.

Exceptional Six-Night Private Safari in Tanzania
We had a six-night private tour, beginning with one night at Ikumbi Lodge, two nights at Tamu Tamu Serengeti Camp, two nights at Africa Safari South Serengeti Ndutu, and the final night at Four Points Arusha.
Overall, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience with cute animals, amazing nature, and kind people. Among everything, two things stood out the most about Shadows of Africa.
First and foremost, our guide, Mr. Edwin, is well-experienced, skilled, and very knowledgeable. He efficiently identified the locations where specific animals would appear, enabling us to witness numerous rare animals and unforgettable moments in the wilderness. He also explained many interesting animal behaviors to us — personally, my favorite was the “zebra-hugging.” Most importantly, Mr. Edwin is a genuinely good person. You can easily see that he is a friend to everyone along the way! By the end of our trip, we had also become good friends. When we visit Tanzania next time, we will surely ask him to be our guide again.
Second, although we had little information about the food quality beforehand, during the trip we learned that the meals we had were far better than those provided by other companies. We even had a fun moment when a client from a different company joined our lunch table to try our food. Indeed, except for the two days when we stayed at Africa Safari South Serengeti Ndutu, where the food was somewhat underwhelming, we enjoyed our meals very much.
Overall, this journey exceeded our expectations in every way. From the breathtaking wildlife encounters to the professionalism and warmth of the team, Shadows of Africa delivered an unforgettable safari experience. We are truly grateful for the memories we created and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.
