Overall good communication and professional guide.
We five had a good experience with our guide Caleb in 7 days' safari! Caleb knows a lot about animals and everything. He also try to find the big cats and good photo spots for us. Highly recommended.

Easily the best experience of my life
Apologies as this will be a long review, as I tend to write a lot. The 11 day safari with Shadows of Africa easily was the best trip of my life. First, let me start with Karen. Karen treats you like she's been your friend for a long time that just happens to be a safari specialist as she's extremely personable and clearly wants you to have the best possible experience. Despite being 10 hours ahead of me, she responded to any and all questions I have within minutes and I question if she ever takes a break. Throughout the whole process, she has been amazing...Karen, if you read this, I can't thank you enough. My other notable tour specialist was Frank that handled everything in Tanzania. Frank...Frank is on top of everything, literally calling me the second we got to the Tanzanian border, giving us suggestions on how to tip, what to do, and literally was on top of everything in Tanzania. Also, Frank is extremely genuine as well, following up daily regarding how things are going, what we love(d), and is again is just on top of everything.
Secondly, the guides. Our first guide was George who clearly has a ton of experience in Masa Mara and Kenya, and was on top of where to go and was on top of where all the animals were. George is very nice guy and on day 2 of safari I was elated on the experience he gave us and also can't say enough great things about that man. Our second guide, Charles Joseph, is younger, super enthusiastic, and is obviously very proud of his country and loves sharing whatever he can about Tanzania as well as anything related to plants and animals. Also, after traveling with him for a week I'm seriously impressed on how he can remember where everything is throughout such a massive area without a map, as I need GPS to go across town. We did have a transfer, Nickson, great young kid who is also enthusiastic about his town and country; hope his pig farming business goes well. Lastly, our last guide, Martin, friggin pro at everything Amboseli, suggesting good photo shots of Kilimanjaro, animals, and again, extremely knowledgeable about the region.
Lastly, a far as the accommodations and food, everything was top notch. We did do the 11 day tour and the nights in Masa Mara and Northern Sarengheti were in raised tents, but the staff more than made up for it as, how often in your life do you see lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, etc...
My only one real suggestion is if you do plan on doing the 11 day tour, if you're looking for gifts, wait to go to the large shop in Arusha as they by far have the best prices for souvenirs, as the local shops outside Masa Mara are kind of a rip.
To finish, we loved our safari and if/when I come back to Africa, I will be sure to contact Shadows of Africa as they went above and beyond.

Unforgettable trip with Six & Seven Tours
My teenage daughter and I traveled with Six & Seven Tours as part of a group of 18 on a week long trip, and it was truly unforgettable! The trip took us on safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and a Masai village. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, flexible, and fun— so many laughs and good times! All the guides had such a positive attitude and were enthusiastic which really enriched the experience! We learned interesting things about the animals, cultures, and even some Kiswahili. Accommodations were comfortable, food was excellent, and everything ran smoothly. If you are looking for fun, adventure and professionalism don't hesitate to book with Six & Seven tours.

Excellent tour operator
I recently did a 5-day safari in Tanzania, covering Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Overall, my experience was extremely positive.
Communications: The communication before and during the trip was clear, timely and professional. All my questions were answered quickly and arrangements were well explained.
Service: The staff were attentive, friendly and genuinely cared about making the experience memorable. Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and passionate about wildlife.
Reliability: Everything went smoothly as planned – from pick-ups to accommodation and game drives. I always felt I was in safe and reliable hands.
Value for money: Considering the quality of the lodges, the comfort of the vehicle, the expertise of the guide and the variety of wildlife we saw, I found the safari excellent value for money.
The tour itself: The itinerary was well balanced, allowing enough time in each park to really enjoy the landscapes and the animals. Serengeti’s vastness, Tarangire’s elephants and baobabs, and Ngorongoro’s unique crater were all unforgettable highlights.
I would highly recommend this safari to anyone wanting an authentic and well-organized experience in Tanzania.

excellent
My family of five , three adult daughters, just returned from our second trip booked by Rose . I called Rose last year and asked her if she could plan another trip for us but that I wanted it to be completely different than the first amazing trip she organized for us in Kenya and Tanzania . Rose knocked it out of the park with organizing an 12 day trip to Zambia !!! Every detail was taken care of , the activity level was exactly what we wanted and the level of the camps were perfect !! I strongly recommend that anyone planing a safari trip to Africa use Rose Hipwood for a once in a lifetime ( or in our case a twice in a lifetime ) experience that you will treasure forever !

Highly recommended!!
The safari with "Magic of Wild" was organized down to the last detail. The planning was perfect, so all we had to worry about was enjoying it. The Jeep had every comfort, the hotels had a special charm, the food was exquisite, and the staff was always ready to make our stay easier.
Every day was unique; we had different adventures, both inside and outside the parks.
Fredi knows the area perfectly, which means he always knows how to surprise us, exceeding our expectations, and explaining every question we had in detail and with great care. Asante Sana ☺️✨
We're returning to Spain, in love with Tanzania 🇹🇿🤍 Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing!
Our trip to Kenya was truly AMAZING! Especially thanks to Mr.Newton and Kefa! It was our first time in Kenya and doing Safari tour so I was a little worried at first, but Kefa was super helpful. Kefa helped me with the itinerary and despite the time difference, he always responded in timely manner and gave me all the answers! I got to meet Kefa before our tour started and he saw us off, and that was nice! He also checked in during and after the trip as well! Our Safari guide was Mr. Newton and he is the best! He was very knowledgeable and also very caring and kind and funny. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to spend our 6 days with. He always explained what the plan was, and also asked if we were ok and what we wanted. He also educated us about the animals, birds, and places we got to see, and we saw so many animals and birds! It was amazing how many animals we got to see in those vast parks and it was all thanks to Mr.Newton. We were amazed how he can find all those animals there. He also got us snacks and he even treated us with orange juice made from fresh oranges! There was lots of driving, but Mr. Newton was always so sunny and helped us stay in good moods. My dad was very impressed with Mr. Newton and he was so happy we got to experience this trip. We really had a wonderful unforgettable experience!!
