What To Pack For A Safari ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Packing wisely is key to a smooth and enjoyable safari experience. Hereโ€™s a quick guide to help you prepare:

Unforgettable lifetime experience!

Absolutely, mind blowing... Shadows made my trip easy to plan, customised to what I wanted to see and gave me memories to last a lifetime!

From the minute I started speaking to Karen, I knew this trip was going to be amazing! No other company were as interactive, or able to help you make my trip truly reflect the dream I wanted like she did!

Gorilla trekking and my time in Rwanda with guide Lucky was extraordinary! Getting up close and seeing these remarkable animals was an honour and I wish I could do it all over again. Lucky was superb with his knowledge, excitement and true spirit for Rwanda.

Safari in Tanzania with my guide Gerard was truly more than I ever could have expected in my wildest dreams (pun intended!). We saw all the Big 5 and because of Gerard's skill and knowledge of the animals and terrain, we saw even the most elusive animals up close, making the experience something I will never forget.

I will be telling everyone I know to book with Shadows, and to specifically ask for Lucky and Gerard to be their guides. Truly an experience and adventure, that everyone should be aiming for in their lifetime! Thank you Shadows.

The trip of a lifetime!

We scheduled a 10-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Shadows of Africa Tours and also added an additional four days in Victoria Falls.

Shadows of Africa Tours did an excellent job planning and executing our travels and promptly answer all our questions. They had excellent guides and transportation! We enjoyed the lodging and food while we were on the tour and best of all we saw an amazing number of incredible animals!

It was the trip of a lifetime and we highly recommend Shadows of Africa Tours.

Incredible and unforgettable Safari with Safari of Africa

It's hard to find and choose good tour company for Tanzanian safari as there are so many tour companies! I heard some really good reviews and recommendations in some FB groups about Shadows of Africa, so I contacted them and other two tour companies to send me offers. Shadows of Africa's service was excellent from the first offer on! They helped us (me and my husband) choose the right tour for us.

It's a lot to choose from: what tour length to take, which parks to visit, what level of accommodations to choose, to go on private tour or in group of total 6 people, etc.
Everything was perfectly made by Sonja and we must thank her again for a very professional organization of everything. Because from the start to the finish everything was made on a very high quality level and, despite we travel a lot, we were left very positively surprised how much they care and do for their customer.

The safari would not have been such an incredible and unforgettable experience without our guide Lukas. He has excellent knowledge and you could really feel that he enjoys his work and that animals are his passion. He adapted perfectly to our pace, he has a very good sense of people too and it was really pleasant to be in his company, we laughed a lot!

We hope to return back to visit Serengeti too, which was highly recommended from other tourists. We did 3 and a half days safari in Lake Manyara, Tarangire NP (my favourite) and Ngorongoro Crater. It's recommended to have enough time for Serengeti (at least 3 nights) and we plan to return back with Shadows of Africa to visit it and we hope to have Lucas again as our guide too!

Finding an authentic Maasai experience in Tanzania and Kenya is becoming increasingly difficult. As more and more villages learn the value of catering to tourists, that authenticity visitors seek can be a rare thing.

Even so, the chance to spot the iconic colourful attire and witness the energetic dance of Africa's most famous tribal culture is a hard one to pass up.

Those traveling with Shadows of Africa can choose to include spending a night in the gorgeous Africa Amini Maasai Lodge for a more immersive experience.
