fantastic tour guide, Captain James
I've always wanted to go on a safari in Tanzania at least once in my life, and my dream came true! It felt like I was stepping into the world of The Lion King, and it was an exciting and fascinating safari experience unlike anything I've ever had in my daily life!

Peter was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable.
It was a morning to remember. The weather was cool and breezy, the park was clean and well cared for, and Peter our friendly guide was the epitome of Kenyan hospitality. He explained things with care before we started the trip, shared insightful facts about Kenyan culture and wildlife, and took care of us well throughout the trip. It was a 'spot the wildlife' adventure for all of us. Highly recommended. Thank you, Peter :)

Friendly, informative and super reliable.
We absolutely loved our time out in the bush with Peter. We had some great sightings (Rhino, Lion, and Jackal were my favourite).
Peter was super friendly and engaged with all of us. Arrangements prior to the trip were seamless, with great communication all round. Thank you Peter and team.
Highly recommended.

10/10 experience
Our 5-day safari to the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate National Park was an incredible experience. We saw the Big Five as well as many other animals, and the scenery was simply stunning.
The tour was very well organized, and our guide Geeman was outstanding. He shared a lot of interesting knowledge about the wildlife, the land, and the country, which made the experience even more special. We highly recommend this safari.

Be very careful booking with this company.
I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience with Shadows of Africa.
My 15-year-old son and I booked a safari and Zanzibar vacation with the expectation of a premium, well-planned experience. We communicated our expectations clearly before booking and trusted that the itinerary would reflect what was promised. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.
With the exception of our final safari stay at Tembo Tembo Camp and our outstanding guide, Gerald, this trip was a tremendous disappointment.
At our first lodge, we were forgotten at dinner. No one came to pick us up, so my son and I went without dinner that evening. The room was also not clean. At another lodge, the accommodations were so cold that we left within minutes because they were simply not suitable. Throughout the trip, when we reached out to our travel advisor for help, we felt our concerns were not taken seriously and were not resolved.
Our current resort in Zanzibar has been the biggest disappointment. In our opinion, it is far below the standard that was represented to us. The property is unclean, the food has been poor, and it does not reflect the quality of vacation we believed we had purchased.
My son and I travel internationally many times each year, including to developing countries, so our disappointment is not based on unrealistic expectations. It is based on the gap between what we were promised and what was delivered.
The one bright spot of our trip was Gerald, our safari guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and truly exceptional. Tembo Tembo Camp was also excellent and demonstrated the level of quality we expected throughout the trip.
I sincerely hope Shadows of Africa takes this feedback seriously. We invested a significant amount of money in this vacation and expected much better planning, accommodations, communication, and customer service. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend the company.

An adventure to Remember!
Our stay in Green Fire Lodge was a very special experience. From the start logistics with Kruger Safari Co. were handled professionally and efficiently. Everything worked as planned, without surprise issues to deal with.
At the lodge, the staff was very welcoming with nice touches throughout the day. The meals were delicious, often with multiple courses. Our individual cabin had a lovely view of the river bed with elephants sometimes congregating just near our balcony.
We had two excursions per day, and were surprised that it was a real adventure! Animals were often not waiting to entertain us, but our expert guide/driver Victor, had to do some tracking to locate them in their natural settings. He was entertaining, informative and accommodating. While maneuvering through the bumpy bush roads, he quipped that we’re being treated to a free “African massage!”
This Reserve is not highly populated so it felt like we honoured the area as the animals’ home. It certainly gave us more respect for the Earth we share and how we should preserve as much of it as we can in its natural state. All around it was a wonderful experience!
