Amazing trip !!!
Our Safari was amazing !! Everything was perfect. The lodging, the food, all the organization !!! It was fantastic and better that we could expect !!
Also, we were lucky and we saw all the famous animals and even more. Our guide was very kind and profesionnal, funny and friendly !!! The lodging and the food, we were like kings...
Thank you, Shadows of Africa, for all your organization. It's a great company. They offer a great service to their clients, and good communications to make the planning as perfect as they can to fillfull ours expectations.
They helped us a lot to realize a dream trip, and we appreciated very much. That worth the cost.
Can't imagine anyone doing it better than Shadows of Africa
From the start of communications (about 6 months before we left on a two-week trip to Tanzania) to the busy weeks just before we left, to everything that we experienced while we were there, and the follow-up afterward, Shadows of Africa exceeded our expectations and then some. We bounced all over the country while we were there, did the normal safari things up north in addition to some very off-the-beaten-path locations elsewhere, and everything was done and handled in a top-notch manner. Our rep (Jake) and our tour guide (Fred) were consummate professionals and we couldn't have asked for any better. We're going back next year, and we're working with Shadows of Africa, period.

Simply Amazing!!!!!
Shadows exceeded all expectations. Our guide Edwin was amazing, cautious & adventurous at the same time. Very keen eye & sense of where to be & when - we saw and experienced much, much more than we expected, the Big 5, a Masai village, Tented Camp experience was incredible. All lodging, food & service were excellent. Shadows was very responsive & all the logistics worked like clockwork. Highly recommend Shadows for this hopefully more than once in a lifetime experience.
Excellent trip
Went with my wife and we really had a good time. We were able to see all the big five. The guide was very friendly.

Couldn't have been better
We took a three day safari in Tanzania and everything went as well as it could go. Starting, before the trip, with the affordable prices, the flexibility in designing a program fitted to our interests and the very detailed information and directions or preparing the trip. Once in Arusha, we found a very warm reception. Natasha, the owner, met us twice (both before and after the safari). The safari itself was perfect, exactly as planned. Additionally, Natasha helped one of us with an unexpected issue, fully unrelated to the safari (an entrance visa to the UAE) in a very efficient way, which resulted in substantial savings. I wholeheartedly recommend Shadows of Africa.

Could not be better
I went alone with my teenage son and had the most wonderful experience. From the beginning of the booking process all the way to the last detail, Shadows of Africa managed all in a very serious and professional manner. It was my first but definitely not last safari thanks to the outstanding job of the company.
The safari could not be better, we saw more than we ever expected and answered felt safe and taking care of. Thanks to all the team both in the USA and in Tanzania
Wonderful Safari
We had a wonderful safari with shadows of Africa in Tanzania (6 days incuding Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tangire). It started with the easy booking process and the flexibility regarding all wishes we had. Lesia created a great tour for my husband and me. Additionally she organized airport pick up and a lodge for the first night prior to the safari upon request. She also booked a transfer flight from Arusha to Zanzibar for us, which was much cheaper than anything we could find on the internet. During the safari, Mussa was our driver for the 6 days. He is really experienced and knowledgeable. He is super nice and could spot animals from far away. He always got us in the right spot to take beautiful pictures and made this experience really special. We had a great time with him. In Arusha National Park we did a walking safari which was included in our package, Shadows of Africa was the only company offering us this opportunity . And it was worth it, very nice experience to see animals close without the vehicle around. Even after the safari Lesia helped us to organize a guide on Zanzibar and a driver for Dar Es Salaam on our way back home. We can really recommend Shadows of Africa to everyone. You are dealing with people who are very helpful, reliable and honest. No hidden costs or promises they don’t keep.

1 Day safari to Ngorongoro crater
I chose to go on a 1 day safari to Ngorongoro crater in the last minute, through shadows of Africa. My experience with Jake in coordinating the schedule was outstanding. He made every attempt to make the schedule work. The email responses were very prompt.
The safari itself was awesome and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Richard was my guide, he is very experienced, friendly and knew his ways around at the crater!
There was no delay in the arrival/departure times. The lunch was good too and most importantly we were able to see most of the animals!!
I would definitely recommend Shadows of Africa to anyone I know without a doubt!

Best trip ever !!
My husband and I just got back from a 10 day Safari In Tanzania. Shadow's of Africa was the company we used and we couldn't be happier. They were very professional and always there for us when we had questions. This was our first Safari and definitely not the last and I would book with them again, they were so helpful in finding something that was good for us , making us feel so comfortable through the whole process. We enjoyed everything about our trip, we saw amazing wildlife and a lot of it , our guide was fantastic,the food was good everywhere and the lodges were all amazing. We had been wanting to do A Safari for a long time and this was above all expectations. Don't wait and book ur trip !!

Magnificent Megafauna
We had only six days to experience a the most exotic wildlife spectacle on Earth -- the Serengeti of Africa -- and we needed a tour company that would help us make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We chose Shadows of Africa because they were easily the most responsive of the many tour companies to our email inquiries, they offered us many options, and we felt more secure sending a large payment to an office inside the US. We booked our ticket to Arusha and Shadows of Africa arranged the rest. Our budget allowed a mix of mid-range and high-range sleeping options, and they were all exactly as advertised (no surprises is nice). The tour ran on schedule, but there was also plenty of latitude to make some last minute changes. Our tour guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable about the travel logistics and the ecology of this amazing ecosystem. We were quite pleased with the experience and am comfortable recommending Shadows of Africa to host your experience.
