Best way to see Africa
From the very beginning, this was a great experience... Jake and the company put together a trip that matched our travel times as well as our budget... Once we got there, they took care of us every step of the way... Our guide (Richard) was the best..
If you are thinking about a trip like this.. let these people take care of everything for you.. You will have the best trip of your life...

Family safari
My husband and I waited for some years for our grils to grow up a little bit and to start travelling a little more again. So for our first holiday together with a 6 and 8 year old girls we had a lot of expectations, bit also fears and questions. Nataša from Shadows of Africa really made a difference. She did not just arranged the safari that was ok for children and still very interesting for us, and get us the perfect guide and person Tim, but arranged our whole holiday. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Olpopongi masai village and Zanzibar; Stone town and Kendwa beach. She booked all the right hotels for us and got us plane tickets and all transfers so we had no worries at all. All we had to do was enjoy! And we did, very much. I highly recomend them!

Great customer care
I am expat resident in Arusha and havent been on safari for the time i am in Tanzania,Decided to visit the national parks in the region and booked last minute safari with Shadows of Africa. The customer care and fast response i got was a big surprise knowing how slow can things get here. Went for a 3 days safari and visited Manyara,Tarangire and Ngorongoro. I had an awesome experience,the driver was very kind and knew everything about the wildlife, took very good care for the group and made our safari very comfortable. I would like to recommend this agency and great customer care.

Trip Of A Lifetime!
From beginning to end superb service and lifetime experience. Flavia assisted me all the way, from bargaining to get the best safari deal, endless emails to make sure this trip will be remembered by all 14 of us friends and family, my sound board with ebola concerns, getting all plans in order with all the major airline schedule changes that gave us high blood pressure rescheduling all flights, all scheduled airport pick up as all of us are going on different flights and routes, some of us getting bumped on flights that made her change pick up schedule last minute too close to start of safari games, the game itself for 4 days that gave us memories we can never forget, yummy food prepared for us at all places we stayed even during camping in the middle of nowhere in Serengeti where we had 2 cooks with us serving us fresh meal, to the end of the trip and back to the airport. ILL CALL IT FLAWLESS! All bumps along the road were ironed out like they were nothing! Great drivers/guides, Bashir, Richard and Charles. We got MORE than we bargained for. Exceptional service! Awesome trip! I love Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater! It is so true, Tanzania never disappoints! Will do it again in a heart beat!!! Thank you Shadows of Africa team for a great experience.
Excellent treking on Kilimanjaro
Together with my colleagues, we decided to go trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro.
We chose agency Shadows of Africa for our trip organizer and we made the best choice. From start to finish, everything went great. Also very well organized was our second part of the trip- safari.
Based on our experience, I highly recommend Shadows of Africa to anyone who is thinking about going there.

Unforgettable experience
From my first contact with Stacy, I was impressed by the personal interest and willingness to organize a safari that met our needs. The 6 day safari was unforgettable. Excellent accommodations - the tented camp being a highlight. The people in Tanzania were wonderful. Moodie was an excellent tour guide. Good luck ensured amazing animal viewing but Moodie also knew exactly where to take us. I know there are many safari outfitters but I would highly recommend Shadows of Africa - we became very excited about "our" land cruiser and guide when we saw others - we were the most fortunate.

absolutely amazing!
Recently back from a 2 week trip in Tanzania. I can't say enough good things about my time there. Shadows of Africa planned an absolutely amazing safari and helped put together an awesome side trip to Zanzibar. The entire trip, down to each tiny detail was flawless.
Not only did we see all of the Big 5, but we saw them several times throughout our safari . While having dinner in the Serengeti, we could here lions talking to each other in the distance....truly unbelievable!!!
Our guide was a wealth of knowledge. It was easy to see that he loves his job, and truly has a passion for Africa and its wildlife and culture.
A lot of people say that their african safari was a trip of a lifetime....i can't say that, because it was so amazing, I know I will be going back again. This will not be my one and only time there!
Thank you Shadows of Africa!

Loved it!!
I recently did a Tanzania safari with Shadows of Africa. To say it was amazing doesn't even cover it!! From all the animals we saw (including the Big 5 plus more), to the beautiful landscapes, to the extensive knowledge of our guide, this safari more than blew away my expectations!
We stayed in a different place each night. At each hotel (from budget to luxury) all the food was so tasty and the people were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating.
This is one vacation I will be talking about forever!!!!!
Exceptional
The hospitality on my safari was exceptional and Richard you are so far my favorite guide,I can't wait for a family trip next time around.

Excellent planning and wonderful guide
My husband and I had a terrific experience using Shadows of Africa for our recent safari. Jake, Stacy, and Natasa did a great job putting a lot of effort into creating a safari tailored to us. They were very knowledgeable about hotels, tent camps, plane schedules, etc., and they took care to make sure that we felt safe everywhere we went and that our entire trip ran smoothly.
Our guide, Edwin, was extremely knowledgeable and easy going. We appreciated his attentiveness and easy ability to adapt the plan to how we were feeling each day.
Would highly recommend!
