A highly professional and genuinely caring operator that makes even complex trips feel effortless.
Outstanding Tanzania & Zanzibar trip and it was perfectly planned
We have just returned from a safari and Zanzibar trip with Tanzania Explorer, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience.
We were a group of 13 people, and everything was extremely well planned and ran very smoothly from start to finish. Transfers, logistics, camps, and villas were all excellent and thoughtfully chosen. The safari was a true highlight from Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti and we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five.
What really stood out was the people. Every single person we interacted with guides, drivers, hosts, and staff was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring, which made the whole trip feel relaxed and effortless.
We would highly recommend Tanzania Explorer to anyone considering a safari or a Tanzania/Zanzibar trip.

Reliable and honest communication, experienced guide
I reached out to Noah about 2 months before the trip. He was always prompt and clear in his communication and answered all my questions. I chose Wildebeest because they seemed to be providing good value for money compared to other operators that I'd received quotes from. They also recommended a newer hotel to us that nobody else had mentioned. That's what caught my attention - we got to stay in brand new and super clean rooms in a relatively cheaper price. Our guide, Dennis, was experienced and new was he was doing. He made sure we made the best use of our time and we had several amazing sightings. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Wildebeest safaris.

Very nice trip
The guides were wonderful and safe. I expected to see more animals and closer up. Mariam impressed me greatly with how long she drove the vehicle.

Yusuph truly made this trip unforgettable!
Our safari with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures was perfect from start to finish. Patrick was quick to respond to all our emails before we even arrived. Yusuph, our guide, was amazing as he was so friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. We kicked off in Tarangire, where he made sure we didn’t miss any wildlife, especially near the river. Next, we explored Lake Manyara, seeing elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, and more. The Serengeti was magical; unforgettable wildlife encounters and stunning sunsets. Ngorongoro was just as impressive. The lodges were top-notch, especially the Serengeti Safari Lodge with its beautiful cabins, amazing views, and delicious food.

USE THIS COMPANY
From the moment we arrived at Kilimanjaro, WAP Adventure were instantly accommodating and incredibly friendly. From the guides to the porters and the chef, everyone greeted us with genuine smiles, which immediately set the tone for the whole experience.
During the actual climb, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Whether it was giving small pieces of advice to make the hike easier to fully carrying gear when someone was struggling, or simply keeping spirits high with jokes and great vibes, the whole team worked together to help everyone succeed. The food throughout the trek was amazing as well — huge thanks to the chef.
I’ve also recently been on a safari with WAP Adventure, and once again, wow. Everything was made so easy, from being picked up right at our door to experiencing a true once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Ngorongoro Crater. Seeing the wildlife up close was unforgettable. A special thank you to David, our guide, who was fantastic throughout.
If anyone is considering climbing Kilimanjaro or going on a safari, I would 100% recommend using WAP Adventure. You won’t be disappointed.

Laura was consistently thorough and kept us well informed through the entire process.
It was so reassuring to know that Laura had every aspect of this trip planned down to the last detail. We could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning was excellent throughout the whole process, just one little mishap in regard to our WhatsApp group being directed to the wrong person so information was not received at one point leading to a bit of confusion. Other than that everything was meticulous. The accommodation and food was absolutely superb. Drives were often long on bumpy dusty roads but to us this only added to the experience of Africa and always gave us plenty to look at along the way. Our driver, Edwin was brilliant and all of us formed a great friendship with him during our time on Safari. We highly recommend him as a driver/guide. We would definitely use Shadows of Africa again for any future trips here.

5 Star of hospitality & honesty
I and my wife joined 2days 1night Amboseli Safari, including 2 game drives. We chose Sopa Lodge, mid-range accommodation.
Before the Safari experience it self their hospitality had started.
Lucy, a operator lady is always helpful and honest. Also she replies promptly.
They offered reasonable price with good lodges from the first quotation. This made us stress-free.
We customized the plan as Nairobi - Amboseli - Namanga because we wanted to go to Tanzania after this Safari.
Lucy researched the detail information to cross the border by bus for us. This made us relieved very much cause crossing border is always sensitive.
Antony, our tour guide was also a nice guy.
He drove carefully and gave us the rich information about the animals and Amboseli.
He was also helping us to get the van from Namanga to Arusha (Tanzania). His help also relieved us a lot.
Overall it was wonderful experience!
We experienced not only Safari itself but warm heart and hospitality of Savannah Woods.
Thank you very much for your coordination.
Professional and complete
My girlfriend and I had an incredible five-day safari experience, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. From the very beginning we felt completely safe, well taken care of, and confident that everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was well planned, complete, and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of the safari.
A special thank you goes to Daniel, who welcomed us right from the hotel and gave us a clear and helpful briefing about the entire safari and how everything would be organized. From the start, he made us feel comfortable and excited about the adventure ahead.
Our driver and guide, Luther, was absolutely outstanding. He is a person with great knowledge, extremely professional, always available, and always with a warm smile. His passion and experience made every day even more interesting and enjoyable.
And above all, a huge hug and compliments to Chef Abdul. He is a wonderful person and an amazing chef. The food was always fresh, delicious, and honestly even better than what we saw other groups having. Every meal felt special and prepared with care.
This safari was not just a trip, but a truly memorable experience. We felt safe, relaxed, and amazed every single day. Everything was good, well organized, and exceeded our expectations.
We highly recommend this experience to everyone. You will not be disappointed!

Juju was knowledgeable, funny, and effortlessly engaging, especially with the kids.
Christmas Day on safari in Johannesburg was nothing short of magical. Spending the holiday immersed in nature made it unforgettable—and seeing 3 of the Big 5 was the cherry on top!
What truly elevated the experience was our incredible guide, Juju. She was knowledgeable, funny, and effortlessly engaging, especially with the kids. She brought every moment to life with fascinating insights, great energy, and a genuine love for what she does. The children were captivated, the adults were entertained, and everyone felt included.
