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.

An excellent trip true South Afrika, tailor made by Safaris!
We had a perfect organized holiday in the south of South Africa. The communication true the web was perfect, clear and quick. Before our leave we received a travelbook with all the details, a mobile phone for the communication and a GPS. During the trip we could contact Safaris with our questions. Overall we had a perfect organized holiday without cares!

I can say that they made what I imagined come to a reality. Thanks to Dancom
My experience with Dancom could be said to be worthwhile. There services are well organised and scheduled to explore any adventurous sites that one has ever heard of and thought to visit. they made my touring experience more enjoyable than I could think. their tour guides are well informed with the terrain and sites that one wished to see and others that even imagination could not reach. the whole experience blew my mind off and if I am to do it again I will definitely rely on Dancom

Great family experience
This summer our family visited South Africa for a three weeks holiday booked with Tailor Made Safaris. Receiving our pre-departure travel book brought us already in the mood. The booking process was smooth, any question was answered quickly and adaptations were taken care of. We visited Mkuze, Kosi Bay, Tembe, St. Lucia, Ithala and Hluhluwe-Imfalozi. A close encounter with elephants in Tembe and snorkeling at Kosi Bay are still moments to remember. Guides Paul and Geert are experts in finding animals, birds , serving lunch at the beach and making a braai. A small glance or sound of a bird and Paul was able to give us all details. They both can tell great stories about any aspect of the environment and African life. We were pleased that also our kids (8, 13 en 15 years) were very comfortable with our guides, having the journey of their life. Everything was well organized and any occurrence of a “this is Africa”-moment, was quickly tackled.
We strongly recommend Tailor Made Safaris to families who seek the Africa–experience.

Conscientious attention to guests and excellent safari experience and wildlife viewing accommodation
I have booked with Adventure Africa in 2010 and 2014 with large parties (12 guests +), and continue to send guests on an annual basis to Adventure Africa due to quality of service. There is always an Adventure Africa escort/guide where-ever you go to ensure that you are well attended to.

The best place to see African wildlife by your own.
Kruger National Park is the best place for watching animals in a self-drive safari. You feel really in contact with the wildlife, very close to them literally. And there are a lot of animals, variety and density altogether. A paradise for a wildlife photographer, whether you are a pro or not. The scenery is awesome because you drive through all kinds of African landscape, beautiful ones, even if it is dry, wet, hot hot or chilly, at dawn or sunset. Accommodations in Kruger offer just what you need, you do not need anything else to enjoy the park. The fact of self-drive make this experience more adventurous, and the friendly other tourist you meet, instead of disturbing your solitude, help you to find animals in the bush. The food they offer is fine, but the possibility of cooking by yourself or braai makes it more enjoyable. I am spanish, I've been six times already in this park, and I spend all the time recommending this trip for holidays.
