Amazing safari!
We spent 4 days in selous. Our guide emanuel is a star. We saw all animals, 20 elephants from 10m, lions on the hunt!! And many more. Hippo camp was great, its not a tent, its a wooden hut with balcony and view over the river! Food was amazing, and loads of it! Car was comfortable. Recommend!

Highly recommended park to visit. was well and truely satisified with the service provided.
All of the above was excellent so much wildlife to see and beautiful scenery. Is one of the most popular parks to visit and to see the big 5 is possible to see due to lots of wildlife and the size of the park. On our safari we saw lots and was delighted with the day considering poor weather conditions on and off. It soon brightened up and the whole experience was rewarding.

Trip of a Lifetime
When my friend and I started planning our Safari, the whole process seemed very daunting. We knew that finding a good trustworthy Safari company was key, however with a million companies operating out of Arusha it can be overwhelming. We had come across a recommended list of good reliable companies on trip advisor, after looking at their websites we narrowed it down to a handful and emailed them with a brief of our requirements. The email response from Safari Infinity was above and beyond what any of the other companies sent, it was clear that Lucia had listened to and understood what we were wanting out of the Safari experience. We instantly got a good feeling from them and decided to book. We went back and forth tweaking the package, our requests were always well received and it never took more than a day to receive an email response from Lucia. In the end I think our email chain was 50+ messages. I have never had such an easy and enjoyable experience working with a tour provider. This attention to detail, and level of customer service set Safari Infinity apart.
I have a hard time articulating the overall Safari experience, it was unbelievable and a trip that I will never forget. Safari Infinity and our driver, Raphiele, took such good care of us from the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro, until we left. We recognized early on that not all drivers are created equal, we were lucky to have one of the best out there. Raphiele was an encyclopaedia of knowledge and had eyes like a hawk. His ability to not just spot, but to read the movement of the animals allowed us to see some unforgettable things.
Throughout the trip we stayed in 3 lodges and one tented camp. All exceeded my expectations. We also stayed 2 nights at the Bay Leaf in Arusha and absolutely loved it. They were all well situated with friendly staff.
I'm sure there are a lot of good Safari companies out there. But for most people, this is a once in a lifetime trip and a major investment, you want the best of the best. Safari Infinity is the best of the best. We loved getting a chance to meet Lucia and Simon at both ends of our trip. We truly had an amazing time! Asante.

Our dream comes true and beyond!
We love Ryan and Thale, we're having a 10 days family tour with them right now. It's been amazing and super lucky. They went out of their way to arrange everything to make sure we're pampered。they even arranged our flight, resort stay and pickup/drop off before tour started. We've two kids 8 & 6 and they adore Ryan & Thale. They're not only super aknowlegable as guides, also a super cook, playmate for our kids. They made our dreams come true. Kids are convinced Ryan can talk to animals and he can make them to show up.
We also got to meet their family and they're all very warm and fun. We've been traveling around the world, South Africa is definitely our highlight. Thank you Ryan and Thale!

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.

13 days, 4,000 Km, wildlife, culture, countless memories...and a new friend!
My friend and I were fortunate to spend 6 weeks in Southern Africa this summer. While we traveled with a small group for the 1st half of the trip, we decided to engage a private guide for our travel in Namibia. We wanted a small, family run outfit, rather than a mega safari operator. I selected 3 from safaribookings.com. Marta, with Wild Wind Safaris responded quickly, and from our initial email interaction, I had a positive feeling.
As we would be spending almost 2 weeks together, it was very important that we be comfortable with one another. She was clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and eager to understand our hopes and expectations for the trip, and to clarify any limitations. I outlined our primary interests, and she promptly developed an excellent itinerary, encompassing all the important places and experiences. Importantly, she was also flexible enough to make some changes as we went along.
She was careful to establish the type of accommodation we preferred, and without exception, all her choices were most satisfactory, some excellent. I should also note that WWS prices were competitive with other quotes, frequently lower.
I’m happy to say we had at least as much enjoyment out of our time with Marta as we’d had with the travel group in the previous 4 African countries….and it was a more personal experience. While she was always professional, it felt more like traveling with a friend than a guide. One of the most enjoyable aspects of her personality was her enthusiasm. She seemed as excited as we were to catch the perfect sighting!
We put in some long days! We traveled 4,000km together, most of the time on gravel roads! Marta wanted to be absolutely certain we got the most we could from our Namibian experience. She never ended the day at 5 pm, rather we had exciting adventures many evenings as well.
I would recommend WWS most highly, without reservation. It is my hope to return to Africa before too long, and I look forward to again traveling with Marta.

Had a wonderful experience using tailor made safaris they helped plan my amazing proposal!
The communications were simply and straight forward and all the trip was planned to perfection. would certainly use the services again. The safari tour itself was excellent considering the weather problems but they still went out of there way to cater for myself and my partner. highly recommended!!!

Wonderful Experience!
Having experienced a tour to South Africa 2 years ago (safari, Victoria Falls, Cape Town), we knew we wanted to return for the "safari only" experience. We also wanted a private tour. From our first email to Selma, we knew we were in good hands. She responded quickly to every question and helped put our minds at rest when it came to wire transferring a fairly large amount of money to a bank in Africa that we knew nothing about! She helped us refine the trip to reflect our exact wants and needs. We chose to travel exclusively in Tanzania, visiting 5 parks. The entire trip went without a hitch, from being picked up at the airport, to being dropped off 14 days later. Our guide, David, was excellent; able to answer any question, great sense of humor, and a spectacular driver! He knows the parks so well, and tried to take to spots where everyone else was not, making for a much more private feeling. We saw every animal possible, including the requested python! He was always on time with a plan in mind for the day, stopping a thousand times for photo taking. The jeep was always clean at the start of the day (no small feat in a very dusty area). Our accommodations ranged from 3+ star to 5 and we were happy with all, with only a few minor issues. I would suggest looking online to see what you will be getting and change any you don't want. We decided on a combination of tents and lodges which was a wonderful experience. The staff at every one of them were incredible. To sum up, Makasa did an excellent job providing us with the safari trip we'd hoped for......quite the trip of a lifetime!
