Wonderful experience, an experience made that much better thanks to a great guide
Our primary reason for going to Tanzania was to visit the Serengeti, which included Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Oldupai Gorge and Ngorongoro. Our tour was through Kilidove Travel which provided a safari truck and driver (Jackson) for just the 2 of us. It was a fabulous trip and a lot of credit goes to our superb guide, Jackson, for the diligence with which he searched for the big-5.
The taxi driver we hired to get to Arusha and back was also very helpful. We paid him a bit extra and he took us all the way to Kilimanjaro National Park and showed us around.
The hotel in Arusha was excellent and the staff there treated us very, very well.
Overall, we have come back with a wonderful experience and opinion of the country and its people.

Amazing views, amazing wildlife, amazing people, problems with accomodation
We had a 3 day trip to Mikuma and Udzungwa mountains. The views and the wildlife were amazing, we did not see any lions at the end unfortunately. There were some problems with the accomodations, one night we had to request a new room, the first room was not cleaned.

Disappointing
Then came the worst !!! We went in our car without repairing to the Lodge and soon to travel to the North Serengeti.
The guide drove like crazy, we saw several animals on the way, including a rhinoceros a few feet from our car, but he did not stop and said we would see lots of animals in Northern Serengeti in the following days !!! And got lost because he did not know the place !!! For five hours we were driving in circles and the guide didn't want to admit that he was lost. We arrived at the Lodge around 10:00 p.m. because we begged

him to ask for information from a car from a local company that passed by our car, luckily ours. We have to remember that it is totally forbidden to do excursions or safari at night and we were very lucky to have seen the headlights of this car!The next day, he didn't tell us that the car was broken and that we could not do the Safari. We communicated with the owner of Quest Horizon, who only then organized a new car and another guide. We missed the whole morning to go to Safari! The new guide only stayed with us that day and the other day another car was organized and a new guide arrived almost 2 hours late !! We lost almost 3 days of Safari and had lots of wear and stress.
The owner got us a flight to try to make up for so much lost time and we went to Lake Manyara which has practically no animal. It was the minimum that he could do!
We were very sad to lose so many days in such wonderful places in Central and North Serengeti.

It was an awesome experience!
All was very well organized, food was very good, driver was excellent, accommodations overall very good except for Lemala Camp Ngorongoro which was filthy and unfitted to stay. This problem was quickly resolved in a good way by the tour company. We will certainly return to Tanzania, the people are very warm and service minded.

spectacular safari with competent guide
positive: professional preparation, excellent guide with know how about animals and landscape but also about Tanzania's people and society, well chosen hotels in Arusha, Lake Manyara and in Central Serengeti, good food and drinks
not so positive: special needs for handicapped pax were not communicated to all hotels as required, a bit of hassle with the payment (but solved finally), one hotel on the rim of Ngorogoro was totally overpriced

The most amazing experience of my life
Words cannot describe how amazing an experience this holiday was. Superb locations, the most hospitable people who are passionate at welcoming visitors and ensuring you have the best possible holiday. It was such a privilege to be able to see all that Tanzania had to offer. Can’t wait to come back in the future

Amazing family trip to Tanzania - breathtaking landscapes, amazing people,powdery beaches.
8 of us (2 families of 4 w tweens) had an amazing trip to Tanzania this August. Shadows of Africa was wonderful for our private safari through the Serengeti. Especially loved the amini life lodge where we learned of Maasai tribe and slept in mid huts, and the opportunity to stay in tented camps. Zanzibar was a fabulous finish - relaxing on powdery beach, swimming w dolphins in the wild. Fabulous trip all around!

Amazing
We had such a great time! We had a 3 day safari with Michael, he is such a great guide. The boat safari was really beautiful, on the second day it was the game drive and we saw a lot animals, lion, wildebeest, elephant, birds, monkeys, impalas, buffalo, zebras... the last day we made a safari walk with a bushman, and came across wild elephants, it was a dream coming true. The accommodation was ok, sometimes we had no water in the shower, but everything else makes that good, the food from Amos was soooo good! Every night he made a veggie meal and I loved it! We miss it already. We did a short safari and i really recommend them.

Amazing!
We have visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
It was an amazing experience, worth every dollar spent.
We've seen many animals, big 5 included.
