1 Day safari to Ngorongoro crater
I chose to go on a 1 day safari to Ngorongoro crater in the last minute, through shadows of Africa. My experience with Jake in coordinating the schedule was outstanding. He made every attempt to make the schedule work. The email responses were very prompt.
The safari itself was awesome and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Richard was my guide, he is very experienced, friendly and knew his ways around at the crater!
There was no delay in the arrival/departure times. The lunch was good too and most importantly we were able to see most of the animals!!
I would definitely recommend Shadows of Africa to anyone I know without a doubt!

Beware, you get what you pay for
First and foremost if you are looking for the economy version of a safari then WS Safari may be for you. Also be prepared for older Land Rovers, unexpected changes, and uniformed guides. Moses states the vehicles are well maintained and up to date which is far from the truth. Also Moses cares more about making money then customer satisfaction. He added 2 more people mid trip which made the small Land Rover we were in cramped. We were told to be at breakfast by 6am to get an early start but our guide wasp er an hour late due to picking up more guests. No one told us what was going on. Constantly there was a major lack of communication between clients and the safari company. Our guide who was nice but lacked information about parks and wildlife. He also misidentified several species of birds. More often than not the guests spotted the wildlife and had to ask to stop. On the final day we stopped at a tourist junk store and were told that another car would pick 4 of us up. This wasn't a problem but we were never told of this change. Overall we saw wildlife and if you are trying to do a safari on a budget then go for it. But Beware, you get what you pay for!

Excellent experience, combining professionalism , kindness and choice of areas for safari and lodge
Our experience has been extraordinary. Safaris and tour as a whole had all you can expect from these activities: adventure, comfort, luxury in most of the hotels, kind deal, without any lack of seriousness.
We leave to the Wildebeest technics to decide about the best areas (according to the season ) for visiting, and likewise about the lodges . Their chosen options had been always correct: to visit Ndutu Area when all mammals breed at the same time, and you can drive freely has given us the opportunity of undergo some of the more amazing safaris in our live.
Moreover, the chosen lodges offered luxury, kind personnel attention and perfect locations. We are mainly impressed with the Kitela and the Burunge Tented Camp. Both are among the better hotels we’ve ever known.
As in the continent, our stage in Zanzibar was also pleasant. We enjoyed a lot with the Breeze Hotel facilities and personnel care. Meal, services, pool, cleanliness of rooms …
Thanks to all the staff of Wildebeest Safaris Ltd. Mainly to Hamza, who was our guide for all purposes. We’ll never forget this experience, and we promise to repeat as soon as it may be possible!

Great safari
Great experience with chabo safari! The communication before our trip was good, quick response and very helpfull since we werent sure were to go. We decided to go to Ruaha park and Mikumi (which is on the way to ruaha) since serengeti would be filled with tourists at this time. Our Tour guide Modest picked us up at the aiport and filled our trip with his jokes and big smile. We saw a lot of different animals and Modest had a great eye for spotting them! Would Highly recommend doing your safari with chabo.

Best Vacation Ever!
I cannot say enough good things about Maturaf and Regional Tours and Safaris. We had a group of six people for safari and Zanzibar trip and everything was amazing and easy from the booking of the trip all the way to the end of the trip. We all became friends with our guide, Peter who was absolutely wonderful and found the "Big 5" for us while educating us on the lay of the land. All of the lodging was top notch and in fact every day got better overall. Two thumbs up for Maturaf and our guide Peter. I will be back for another trip next year.
