Our safari in The North was a wonderful experience
We visited Serengeti, Lake Natron, lake Manyara and ngorongoro in 6 days with Safari Makers.
I can definetely recommend them.
We traveled with our 2 sons of 8 and 10 (budget camping safari) and our guide (Hamisi) and cook (Hadji) were the best!
If you are thinking about booking a safari, book with Safari Makers!

Absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful place.
Everything about Tanzania was lovely. I have not been on Safari anywhere else but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is going on Safari for the first time.
The wildlife and scenery was amazing. It was incredible to see so much seemingly unscathed land in one moment in Serengeti National Park.
The infrastructure surrounding the tourism industry seemed well organized, inside and outside of the government.

the night then to the airport the next morning. All of this for $800 Canadian dollars each! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who doesn’t mind camping and is willing to forego the luxuries of the fancy and expensive lodge experience. A huge thanks to Hilary and Derek and their professional staff for offering such an incredible and affordable experience!

Everything we had hoped for. All the animals, and the overwhelming beauty that is the Serenegeti.
Four things stand out, if you are considering this adventure. The accommodations and meals were beyond excellent. The time spent with the Masai people was soul stirring. The simple beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater was stunning; a singular place of beauty in this world. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, was our guide, James Saituti. A modern masia, James was so very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw. He knew the terrain well, and put us in all the right spots to see everything. Indeed, more than most of the other

travelers we met. We sat in the middle of the Wildebeest migration, and saw a cheetah make a kill. He took care of us like were family. Our suggestion is simple: hire Shadows of Africa, request James, and have the time of your life.

Amazing, one-time experience!
- the wildlife was fascinating and the safari is a must-do in Tanzania
- food was good depending on the location and even the lunchboxes provided were more than necessary
- unfortunately our guide did not explain very much about wildlife etc but only pointed out the animals once we were around them
- it was a lot of driving around but I would always do our route (Lake Manyara, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP) the exact same next time
- however, beware that guides will try to put you in alternative accomodations than booked, just make sure you stay stubborn ;)

Fantastic wildlife photography experience with numerous close-up opportunities of spectacular specie
Returned recently from a 2 week comprehensive Northern Tanzania photo safari beginning in Kogatende in Serengeti and traveling south ending in Tarangire NP.
The wildlife photo ops were outstanding, including instances of predator and prey interaction.
The accommodations, including both camps and lodges were fantastic. The food was delicious and plentiful.
The vehicle and guide were perfect for great, in depth exploration throughout the tour.

Each moment is a surprise
During each visit, in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Dar Es Salam, Massai village and Zanzibar, occurs a lot of surprise, astonishment, wonder.
Each area is very different, so in one trip you can make journeys.

Unforgettable
The weather was fantastic and our accommodation Altezza Lodge, Moshe was fantastic. The one day Kilimanjaro hike was a great day out and I would like to go back and do the full 5 day. There are plenty of big animals to see around the national park areas. The food is all of a good quality.

Excellent 8 day safari trip in Tanzania where we saw a multitude of wildlife up close.
We spent 8 days on a safari in Tanzania with Bush 2 City. It was an excellent trip where we traveled to 5 national parks and saw just about mammal we had hoped to see including lions, leopard, hundreds of elephants and hippos, thousands of zebras and wildebeasts, and ostriches, antelope, gazelle, cheetahs and more. The only animal we didn't see was the rhino.
We went in Sept so the weather was great and the crowds were down quite a bit. The places we stayed varied quite a bit as each group gets to choose what level of lodging you want with the associated price. Food was okay, not great, but certainly adequate for such a trip.
We also spent a day in Dar es Salaam and did a tour with Kizito Tours. This was fabulous and i highly recommend it as you get a very interesting picture of DeS.
