Fantastic experience with our tour operator
Once in a life time experience, we all had an amazing safari. By the end of our trip we had really got to know our guide, he was very funny and kind (also a great driver, we felt safe the whole time), would 100% recommend booking and so glad we chose these guys as it made our trip! Thank you.

nice experience
Robert was our driver and he gave us lots of information about the animals and the parks we went to.
We loved the provided lunches at very nice spots in the park.
The drive back to Kilemanjaro airport was a very long one.

Unbelievably amazing
It was the journey of my life, because of all our experiences, thanks to Mwayuma and especially to Hussein.
He is a guide out of thousands, always very friendly and helping and searching for the best views!!!
Thank you Hussein and African Lantanic Safaris 😍

Unforgettable safari through the national parks — incl. the great migration and river crossing!
Our one-week journey through Tanzania — from Arusha to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mwanza, Rubondo and beyond — was absolutely incredible. The landscapes, wildlife, and experiences were breathtaking, but what truly made the trip exceptional was our guide, Hussein. He took the time to understand our wishes and needs, and over the days, he got to know us so well. Hussein consistently went the extra mile to make sure we saw the animals and nature we dreamed of. Even though the chances were very small at that time of year, we witnessed the great migration and a river crossing! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!

helpful
We were able to see all kinds of animals in a single day, including giraffes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeests, and gazelles. We were especially lucky to witness a cheetah’s hunting scene. Thanks to the operator’s quick driving, we were able to be at the right place at the right moment.

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.
