Awesome!
We had just a wonderful time! Jackson was very knowledgeable about climbing Kilimanjaro's various routes and its geology and wildlife. I also felt very safe and taken care of. All of our needs were planned for, so we just enjoyed our time climbing, exploring, eating and sleeping comfortably! I highly recommend this adventure!

Great Photo Safari - Even better than expected
Matt and I want to thank you so much for the fantastic experience with Shadows of Africa in February. As this was our first photo safari we had many questions pre-travel and we very much appreciate your team, especially Jake, for being responsive and patient with our inquiries. Once on the ground in Tanzania our guide and driver, Richard, was on top of every detail, including his recognition of the camera equipment we brought and a trip enhancing suggestion to remove the two middle seats in the Land Cruiser. This gave us the room we needed for our tripod and other equipment. As you know, we requested a very specific 2-person photo safari experience. The Shadows of Africa team responded to that request from the beginning to the very end, even arranging for a place to shower and change on the way to the airport on the final day. This allowed us to have a full last day on Safari.
Natasha, special thanks to you for meeting us at the hotel to adjust our itinerary at the last minute in response to my request to spend an additional night in the Serengeti tent camp. It proved to be a good choice as we lost a half day to rain and the extra night was needed to have a complete experience. All of these details and so much more made our experience a positive memory we can cherish.
By the way, we got some great photos and video of the great migration, lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, etc. etc. Even some great bird shots. This is why we went to Tanzania and you, Jake, Richard and your whole team made it great. I can’t imagine any other tour company doing better, and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Shadows of Africa to anyone considering such a safari.
Best wishes, Don & Matt Basler

The Operator: Jackson was the first person we met in Moshi who seemed trustworthy, flexible and willing to give us a fair deal. In the space of 24 hours, he organised for us to meet the driver/guide and take a ride in the safari vehicle. He met all of our requests and answered our questions with conviction and poise. We had a great experience with MJ Safaris, and my advice to anyone booking a safari is to go to Moshi, meet the operator, meet the driver/guide and take a ride in the car. Moshi is a tourist town and with so many safari operators it can be difficult to find someone trustworthy (I'd met many people on my travels who had been stung by dodgy operators trying to make a quick buck).
The Safari: Our driver, Victor, was excellent. He was friendly and with very good English. He picked us up on time, drove safely and was skilled when negotiating the muddy, dirt roads of the national parks and Crater. He also had an excellent knowledge of the wildlife in the various parks and was quick to drive over to animals so we could get a close-up.
Thanks Victor & Jackson!

Spot Kenya Safaris made dreams come true in organising the best safari
The tour consultant Geoffrey Mukari from Spot Kenyan Safaris arranged safari and hotel accommodation. Geoffrey was easy to communicate with and catered for all my needs. The 7 day safari was just amazing, all the lodges were superb. We went to Samburu, Lake Baringo, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and a beach holiday in Mombasa. We were so lucky to see all the big five. The driver/guide was brilliant with great knowledge of all the animals and birds. I would recommend this respectable honest company to anyone who wants a fabulous safari in Kenya, ask for Geoffrey Mukari.

Wonderful Safari Experience
The team from Safari Specialists arranged the most amazing Botswana safari experience for my husband and I. The personal service that we received from Erica was exceptional. She provided a lot of useful information about our destinations as well as offering suggestions and ideas on where to stay. While we were traveling, all arrangements went exactly as arranged.

Bucket List Experience!
We traveled overland from Rwanda to see the gorillas in Bwindi, Uganda with Africa Adventure Safaris. Olive was incredibly helpful from the start. She assisted with our booking and selecting our itinerary. Upon arrival, everything went as planned... our driver/guide was wonderful. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and professional. The car was comfortable and we had no mechanical problems. We were very happy with all of the accommodations arranged. It goes without saying that the actual time in the forest with the gorillas was breathtaking. Definitely a bucket list trip and I'd absolutely recommend Africa Adventure Safaris.

Fantastic experience sitting with the gorillas!
Two friends and I traveled to Volcanoes National Park with Destination Jungle. Our guide Kirenga was so knowledgeable about Rwandan history that he gave us insightful context throughout our visit. The agency organized our visas for golden monkey and gorilla visitations. We stayed at the beautiful and comfortable Mountain Gorilla view Lodge. What a nice place to come home to after spending the morning in the wet and muddy jungle!
