What an amazing experience!
My husband and I love to travel and explore new places, but this safari truly left a lasting impression on us—an adventure we will cherish forever. The landscape itself is absolutely breathtaking, and the fact that we got to see 4 out of the Big Five is something we’re incredibly grateful for.
This unforgettable journey was made possible by an exceptional team. Our safari driver was not only knowledgeable and passionate but also deeply respectful of the wild. You could see him watching the animals alongside us with the same excitement as someone experiencing it for the first time. On the final hour of our safari, he even went out of his way to find a lion for us—just because he knew how special that moment would be.
The accommodation was stunning. To make the experience even more authentic, we had a surprise "roommate"—a curious little bush baby trying to sneak into our tent! The facilities were beyond expectations; taking a warm shower in the heart of a national park made us feel both comfortable and connected to nature in a way we never imagined.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making this trip so special. Your passion, care, and hospitality made all the difference. We’ll never forget it!

Fessal is a super friendly, nice and trustworthy guide!
We had a wonderful day with Fessal. The communication was very good by email. He picked us up from our hotel very early in the morning for a snorkelling and swim tour at Mnemba island. We had so much fun and it was so beautiful and relax (pole pole!).
In the afternoon we drove to Stone Town and he guided us around in this nice city. We and our kids (15,12 and 10yrs) had a great time with Fessal. He knows a lot about Zanzibar and is easy to talk to. Thank you Fessal!!

Friendly, reliable and knowledgeable
Herbert from Black Santa was great to deal with, he responded to my quiet request quickly and answered all questions in detail.
He was flexible in adapting the tour to suit our needs for pickup in Diani and return to Nairobi.
The itinerary was well put together to maximize the short time we had at Tsavo East and we loved the accommodation at Voi Safari Lodge.
Herbert was friendly and engaging throughout our trip and very knowledgeable about all of the wildlife we saw.
He arranged our train transfer from Voi to Nairobi which we found a great way to travel.
We wish we’d had a longer time on this trip, but it was a great way to wrap up our time in Kenya and I’d happily book with Black Santa again.

Absolutely Amazing!
Tanzania Safari Collection showed our group of 16 everything you think you want to see when visiting Tanzania and so much more during our 11 day safari! As someone from the United States I came with a list of wildlife I was wanting and expecting to see from movies and documentaries and we checked every box and so much more! Any issues encountered during the trip were solved quickly and efficiently by our guide. I would highly recommend Tanzania Safari Collection and our guide Jartan to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania.

Off the beaten track experience, difficult to find elsewhere - a must.
Having lived and worked in nearby Inhassoro for the past four years I have tried to visit this gem regularly. I has a real feel of being out there in the middle of now-where, 5 star tourist accommodation it doesn’t have (although it is coming) so it is for those who want to get the true raw experience of being in the bush. Plenty of wild life in the sanctuary area, including the Big Five, outside this area game is more scarce but gradually these areas are also becoming alive once more thanks to the efforts of the management team and sponsors. Guided tours are limited, as is signage so you really can get lost in nature here. Sunrise over the Save from Tondo camp has to be experienced. Having visited many parks across Eastern, Southern and Western Africa this is truly one of my favourites.

Well organised and trustworthy
From the moment we arrived, this safari was nothing short of amazing. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.
Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. The game drives were absolutely incredible — we saw so much wildlife and learned a lot along the way.
A huge thank you to our driver, who stayed with us throughout the entire trip. His knowledge, patience, and passion for the wildlife made each drive special. He knew exactly where to go and always made sure we had the best view possible.
This experience exceeded all expectations, and I can’t recommend it enough!
Trav Interactive made the whole experience stress-free by perfectly handling our flights and safari plans.

Great safari tour!
We booked a two week Safari with Shadows of Africa - one week in Tanzania and one week in Uganda - as they were one of the few Safari vendors that were able to accommodate both countries. Karen was great and very responsive in the booking process and gave us a number of recommendations to ensure our trip was to our liking. Our two tour guides were Charles (Tanzania) and Ziwa (Uganda). Charles had an eagle eye and was able to spot leopards and rhinos for us that we would have never found on our own! Both were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and were always focused on ensuring we had a wonderful trip. We highly recommend Shadows of Africa!
