Memorable Safari with Shadows of Africa
5/5

I just returned from the four day standard Tanzania Express safari with Shadows of Africa and can not say enough good things about the memorable experience. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro and saw countless wildlife; hippos, lions, flamingos, hyenas and even leopards in a tree. Our driver was beyond knowledgeable about each animal and the area. There was no question that could stump him, which just made the experience better. Plus, his keen eyes could spot things in the distance, that we could not see and he spent time to position the jeep in the perfect photo op location. The lodging each night was safe and individually unique. It was so nice to have a hot shower at the end of each day!

A mind blowing experience in a wonderful country
5/5

The safari tour I was on was with Shadows of Africa! I totally loved it - this was my first proper safari experience. Our driver was called Timo and he was a wildlife expert - really nice guy. We got to see lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, elephants, endless list really!! I also loved the food and accomodation. If you get a chance, spend a bit extra and stay in Osupuko - we woke up about 50 metres from elephants and even had hot water in our tents in the Serengeti. An unforgettable experience. Jonny

Friendly and professional
5/5

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.

Shadows of Africa is a highly responsive company with experienced guides. Met our expectations 100%
5/5

In January 2023, my wife and I embarked upon a long-planned trip to Kenya and Tanzania with Shadows of Africa. Alona helped us plan the trip and created an amazing introduction video that sold me on Shadows of Africa. We wanted to travel mid-range and the camps and hotels selected were perfect for our needs. Our guides, Peter, Edwin and Ken were knowledgeable, experienced and were responsible for the amazing game viewings that we had. I have only good things to say about Shadows of Africa - highly recommend!

The best tour operator, ever.
5/5

My husband and I had the most beautiful trip 3 in Tanzania and Zanzibar with Shadows of Africa. Our tour operator, Karen, was able to understand all our needs and accomplished them over any expectations! We have spent two weeks in Tanzania mainland, starting from Mount Kilimangiaro (day hike with our amazing guide Amir and overnight at the beautiful Simba farm lodge), then we move to Arusha and Arusha National park (overnight at the amazing Olerai lodge) where we had the most exciting walking safari. We visited olpopongi masai village and then we have started our safari tour, together with Charles, our amazing safari guide that accompanied us all the way through. He was super professional, available and discrete. He became a unique friend! We have visited Tarangire national park (a quite small park with lots of wild animals), Serengeti national park (wide and amazing) and finally the Ngorongoro crater (unbelievable!!). Charles allowed us to see all the big 5s, gnu migration and so more. We have really enjoyed every moment, living the nature and the culture at 360⁰C. We have finally moved to 1 week relax in Zanzibar where we had the most beautiful spice tour and safari Blue (kwale island) with our expert and friendly guide Mohamed. We spent three days in matemwe (zanzibar queen, beautiful resort) and three days in jambiani (blue moon, excellent hotel with direct and private access to the magnificent sea). We strongly suggest everyone, staring from our family and friends, to visit Tanzania and particularly to rely on Shadows of Africa for the tour organization. Everything was terrific, trekking, safari, accomodations and food. More than we have ever imagined. We will come back in Tanzania with Shadows. For sure.

A+ Mt. Kilimanjaro Guided Hike on Marangu Route
5/5

The entire Shadows of Africa experience was amazing! From easy trip booking with Alex to finishing the Marangu Route trek, our tiem with Shadows of Africa was fantastic. Our guides Amiri and Mkumbo demonstrated their professional guide experience through their vast knowledge of Mt. Kilimanjaro history, the mountain environment, and natural wildlife. They gave us confidence the entire way that we would summit safely and they made the experience very fun and enjoyable. Our group would all highly recommend Shadows of Africa and particularly Amiri and Mkumbo to others wanting to trek Mt. Kilimanjaro! 5 stars!

5/5

Our trip to Africa was an amazing experience, and Shadows of Africa made it happen. We spent 7 days in central and Northern Tanzania, touring through the Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti. We saw hundreds animals daily, with many animals right next to our jeep. We slept in a different lodge or tent camp each night, and we were well taken care of. Gerald Killian was our tour guide for this week, and he was friendly, knowledgeable , accommodating, and was invested in our good experience. After our safari, Shadows of Africa arranged a flight to Zanzibar and we enjoyed Stone Town and an all inclusive resort for a little R and R.
