One of our best experiences so far
We really loved our time in safari with Shemeji. The communication was very easy with Emma before our trip.
During the safari we saw a lot of animals and we really liked our guide Adam who was very professional, knowledgeable and organized. He was also patient and always managed to get us close to the animals. We booked a group tour and therefore we were 4 people which was perfect; not too many not too little. The campsites are in good condition and our cook Godson made really delicious food. I am quite picky when it comes to food and therefore was happily surprised. On top of being a great cook he is a very kind and caring person. It felt like going home when we were coming back from game drive.
We had a great experience with Shemeji and will definitely book with them again!

The experience of a lifetime. Magical, thrilling, wonderful. The closeness to nature unparalleled
The 3 night 4 day Explorer canoe safari was extremely well organised. We did the safari in the dry season with temperatures of 40 degrees the norm but the guides managed our schedule to cope with the heat and the benefit is that you get the very best game viewing. It is a very special experience to set off in your 2 man Canadian canoes with everything packed aboard for the trip and paddle down the Zambezi. It's an adrenaline rush at times as there is the very real danger from hippos and crocs but the guides are superbly trained and take no risks. By canoe you have access up small tributaries which no one else can get to and to paddle among grazing elephants, buffaloes, zebra and endless amazing bird life is incredible. We had lions jump across the river right in front of us.Each night we pitched camp on a deserted sandy island, safe from lions( although elephants would often join us) then the guides cooked a delicious hot supper which we ate as the sun set and the stars came out. No luxury safari lodge could ever match what we did. Once in Mana Pools park we saw no other people , boats or vehicles, it was just us and the wildlife. So special.
You do need to be fit enough to sit and paddle a canoe for around 7 hours and happy to camp in a simple but comfortable tent. You will get up at dawn and be in bed at dusk and be completely immersed in nature.

Awesome!
The whole tour was outstanding from the time we were picked up at the airport to the time we were dropped off back at the airport. The hotel we stayed at on the first night was very comfortable, the food superb and the staff engaging. We took the minibus to kruger which was comfortable and gave us the chance to see some of the country. Our time in Kruger was excellent, the tours were great and we were able to see lots of animals, some of which were very close. We stayed in a chalet and although there was a problem with the accommodation we were quickly moved and upgraded, the Kruger Tour rangers helped sort out the problem. The meals were very special as everybody on the tour ate together and so that gave you the opportunity to meet lots of people and chat over a glass of wine or two. There was lots of food and there was a good variety. The Kruger Tour rangers were outstanding whether on tour or back in camp. They were extremely knowledgeable, easy to chat too and very helpful. The tour certainly represented outstanding value for money.

Very good logistics and planning. Every detail attended to. Exceptional after-hours service
Gail's attention to detail was excellent. Her scheduling of all our private transfers, pick ups and logistics of travel to the need for early check-ins where necessary was flawless. The minutiae in the itinerary meant that we were well briefed on our schedule and there was nothing left nothing to chance. Her recommendations of the exceptional hotels, the logistics and planning made our holiday enjoyable.

Awesome experience !!!!
Our family with 2 children experienced a wonderful 6days safari experience (including night game and walking safari) with Kanuth Adventures Safaris in Ruaha/Mikumi NP with Kanuth as driver and Hamiz as cook.
Kanuth was very patient during negotiation period, answering the emails immediately and during the trip itself always perfectly prepared, ready to help, having deep knowledge of all fauna and flora around.
When we had problems with accomodation, he reacted smoothly and let change the room immediately.
If you are travelling to Tanzania for safari, I can only recommend Kanuth and his company!!!
If you have more questions ( also in german or russian), pls write me on

Gail Hughes delivers personalised, informed travel service which translates into great experiences
Gail listened to the type of safari experience we wanted and responded with a couple of options. She answered our many questions and was a fountain of information, which enabled us to be prepared and comfortable while on safari. All our transfers and accommodation were of the highest standard. I would recommend Gail Hughes without reservation.

Recommend Shadows of Africa to everyone!
Tanzania safari was amazing and beyond every expectation. Thank Chris who designed the best itinerary we could possibly have. Thank the driver Timo who are very experienced, professional, friendly and fun. During the safari, he knows where to look and always finds great staff ahead than other drivers. I don't know how he did it. He just simply good at it.
After my return, I recommended it to my colleague who wants to go safari in Tanzania. And she has already booked a tour with Shadows of Africa. I'm sure she will love it!

amazing safari
We saw a lot of animals on the safari. The sable was very cool to see. The overlook where we had a homemade lunch was relaxing and provided unobstructed views of the animals.

Amazing South Africa
The Staff at the various hotels were extremely courteous and very professional - always smiling and there was never a request that was turned away. The food was great and the weather at that time of the year was kind to us. The natural beauty of the land complemented by the abundant wildlife, both on land and on the Chobe River, was amazing. Our guides always had a very good sense of humour and there was never ever a dull moment from the early morning safaris to the late night sundowners amongst the natural beauty of the glorious sunsets.
