Review about Kenya by Narayan
The 4 NPs (Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli) that we visited in Kenya offered excellent wildlife viewing experiences. We ticked off the Big 5 within 3 days. Each park has a distictive secenery - Aberdare green and quite high up, Nakuru semi- arid with a lake teeming with birdlife, Masai Mara with rolling grassland dotted with umbrella trees and hills and of course the river Mara meandering through and Amboseli where animals graze against the majestic snow- capped Mt Kili- all these combine to make Kenya an amazing wildlife destination.

Review about Uganda by Marcelo Lemos (Brazil)
Because Uganda still offer Mt. Elgon and Mt. Rwenzori National Parks. These are amazing parks with incredible wildlife and landscapes. All in all, the Ugandan parks are less overcrowded compared to Kenyan and Tanzanian parks.
Great Experience!
We traveled with Mamaland Safaris three years ago. Ir was our third experience in East Africa and it was fantastic. We enjoyed the company of Tony as our Guide, and We are very proud of him. He is a very good guy, simpathic and funny.
We recommended all the people that want to go to Uganda, contact with them for their good Job.

A Travel Agency You Can Count On!
I'm a published travel and food writer and have traveled extensively all over the world. A few years ago I gave up using American travel agencies because they knew little to none on the tours they were booking. That's when I turned to booking with local agents in the various countries I travel to. First you'll save a whole lot of money and secondly if you encounter any difficulties in your travel plans it's nice to have "feet on the ground". In my case Michelle and Brett were there to handle a travel plan change quickly and efficiently.
On our recent trip to South Africa our travel plans when seamlessly without a hitch. Every recommendations that Sun Sarfaris made were spot on! Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to use this company. They're can be trusted to deliver. Also don't get caught up on some of the bad reviews on Trip Advisor…everybody has their own personal expectations and when it comes to travel half of them are ridiculous!

Shadows of Africa organized a perfect, custom tour through the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.
We did not know anyone who could make a referral for a tour operator, and even with research felt some trepidation about choosing an operator online. But we did, and the experience was beyond our expectations. The company, Shadows of Africa, organized everything from our airport pickup to our hotel in Nairobi, arranged for transportation to Arusha where we began our 6 day tour with our guide, Moody. All of the lodging, food, and the experience itself was perfect. We saw wildlife from morning till the end of the day. We stayed in tents two nights - "glamping" - and were treated to a surprise 'happy hour' in the setting sun and tall grasses near our camp, with singing and spear throwing lessons by our Masaii hosts. It was the most unforgettable experience and I would recommend that anyone considering a safari - contact Shadows of Africa. They made sure we were fully prepared for the trip down to the smallest detail.

Excellent services
I took a Kilimanjaro climb this January with Shadows of Africa. While other providers did not even bother with answer to my requests for quotation, SoA staff was always welcoming and ready to provide all information I requested with no delay. My supporting team during the climb lead by Amir as my mountain guide was extremly helpful, ready to meet my requirements anytime. Thanks to them was my successful climb a lot easier.
I highly recommend! Thank you SoA!
True experts in Botswana
I highly recommend Safari Specialists for all your planning needs in southern Africa! They are knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and reasonably priced. I was able to provide them with a rough idea of the things we wanted to see and do and they developed a very detailed and incredible trip itinerary. It is hard to find the right company so give Safari Specialists a shot!

Mt Kilimanjaro
In March this year I took on the challenge of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro . I did the climb using Kurt Safari and as a novice climber I'm glad that I did . A few months before the climb Kurt made sure that I was fully prepared by giving me invaluable information which included training advice , a comprehensive list of equipment , clothing and medication / first aid needed in order for me to summit successfully . During the climb the guides and porters were fantastic. They made sure that we were as comfortable as possible at the camp sites and the cook prepared food that was both nutritious and tasty . The porters ability to rush ahead of us carrying our heavy supplies in order to set up camp before we got there was astonishing . Even though the guides have done this climb many times before they still have a love for the climb and the mountain that is infectious and this certainly rubbed off on the rest of us . All in all this was a great adventure made even more memorable by the experience and guidance of Kurt Safari . Highly recommended .
