Amazing!
I had such an amazing tour! Our guide Joe knew so much about the animals, which made everything super fun, and he even helped us out when any little issues came up.
If you’re planning a safari in the Maasai Mara, you should definitely go with this tour company!
Asante Sana!!

Amazing experience with Hussein and Mwajuma!
My family and I, seven people in total, travelled through Tanzania and we had the most amazing experience! Mwajuma arranged everything for us, from Arusha to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Victoria, Rubondo Island, … It was just great and everything went extremely smoothly! Our driver Hussein was a true blessing. He was very professional, very kind and very passionate! He always went the extra mile for us and we loved it! Thank you for everything!

I had the pleasure of being driven by Theodore, and I can honestly say it was the best
I had the pleasure of being driven by Theodore, and I can honestly say it was one of the best driving experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, the journey was smooth, safe, and comfortable.
Theodore is incredibly professional – always punctual, well-presented, and respectful. His driving skills are excellent; he’s attentive to the road, handles traffic with ease, and makes sure passengers feel completely at ease. The vehicle was spotless, well-maintained, and had a fresh, welcoming atmosphere.
What stood out the most was his friendly personality and genuine care for passengers. He went above and beyond to ensure my trip was pleasant, even helping with my luggage and offering useful local tips.
If you’re looking for a driver who combines skill, professionalism, and kindness, Theodore is the one. Truly one of the best! 🚘👏

Expertly tailored safari, great experience!
We requested a bespoke tour to Tsavo East and West and Diani Beach, which Mournic arranged for us at short notice. Victor was really efficient at communicating and attentive to our needs, which were somewhat complicated with our timings but they arranged everything we needed with no problems. It was a nice touch that we were met by Maureen, Victor and Nicholas at the airport. We were really happy with Eric our guide, who made the trip fun and knew a great deal about the wildlife and landscape. A couple of things didn’t go quite to plan (beyond Mournic’s control) which happens, but everything was resolved quickly and it didn’t affect how much we enjoyed the trip. We would definitely recommend Mournic.

Unforgettable Trip Thanks to the Best Team
I stumbled upon Shadows of Africa when I started planning my family safari trip in January. I reached out to multiple safari companies, but none was as responsive, patient, and knowledgable as Karen from Shadows. She created the perfect itinerary so the 4 of us could visit both Maasai Mara and the Serengeti, and wrapping the trip up with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater. Throughout the trip, Karen and Frank would check in with us via Whatapp to make sure everything was okay.
Our guides, Steven in Kenya and Charles in Tanzania were very friendly and experienced. We saw so many cars stuck in the road but we never did (except when we tried to help another car). We saw a lot of rare animals because our guides knew where to go and they always found the spots before other people did.
Like the others mentioned, our packed lunches were another level compared to other groups. Charles would roll out table and chairs with actual utensils and table mats. And the food tasted amazing with warm veggies, meat, rice and spaghetti. Every lunch in the park included a bottle of wine too! Others would look at our table when they were all eating their boxed lunches. 😅
Also, be sure to include Tamu Tamu as part of your stay if you’re in Serengeti. It’s a new camp operated by Shadows and it’s so beautiful.

Excellent safari experience with very professional staff!
We were 2 couple and we did an amazing 3D2N safari in Tsavo East and West.
Bryan and the driver Sebastian are very professional and experienced guys, who did everything was in their possibility to let us meet a great amount of different animals.
The 4 lions and 7 cubs left us without words.
Amazing and recommended safari company, definitely good value for money

Best Safari Experience with Steven Hariah and Roadside!
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience in the Serengeti with our guide, Steven. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and experienced, always knowing where to go and how to make the best use of our time. Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, including the rare sightings of both a leopard and a rhino.
Steven created opportunities for some of the most remarkable wildlife encounters we could have imagined: a pride of lions preparing for a hunt, a mother cheetah with two cubs (who even jumped onto our jeep!), a group of 18 playful lion cubs, and a mother leopard with two newly born cubs. We also observed a leopard feeding on a warthog right outside our lodge over several days.
Beyond his guiding skills, Steven was fun and chill throughout the trip. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the national parks, wildlife behavior, and Tanzanian culture, which made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable.
We booked the luxury package, and the accommodations were fantastic. Sametu Lodge was a particular highlight where we spotted a leopard, a lion, giraffes, and elephants just outside our room.
The sales process was also seamless. Paul, the manager, was very responsive from the start and a pleasure to work with. He was patient in answering all of our questions and very reasonable throughout the booking process, which gave us great confidence in choosing this company.
On top of that, we had a special request related to health research, collecting Dagga fish samples from local markets. Citizen scientists Zepha, Kassim, and Steven went above and beyond to generously assist us in gathering different samples, which we deeply appreciated.
This safari exceeded all of our expectations, and Steven, Zepha, Paul, and the entire team made it truly special. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a Serengeti adventure.

Amazing
It was an amazing safari week with my wife, exploring Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hells Gate and Amboseli. We spotted all big five, including a leopard killing a gazelle, extremely rare: this was possible thanks to the skills of our driver, always connected with other drivers, which shared info and positions of animals.
Lenchada Tented Camp was not in good condition, our tent had broken bathroom, so we were moved to the nearby camp.
The communication with the driver could be better; for instance, a more detailed briefing at the beginning of the day, or at the night before, so that all car passengers could organize the time in a more efficient way, avoiding wasting time in some minor activities, dedicating more time in others.
