Professional and have good experience about safari
We had a fantastic, incredible, fun trip to Kenya - all the superlatives! We went to five camps and Allan planned the trip perfectly, particularly the order of our itinerary, The destinations and accommodations were great too. Our tour guide and drvier Hudson Obindi. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. every time he stoped at a very good position to help us to view animal more clean. We did saw the great migration as waves of wildebeest and zebras make their journey to crossed Mara river. We saw millions of Flamingos in BoGoria lake. Of cause many many animals like big five. We traveling in different landscapes, we went Hells Gate National park onto Lions Hill and also down the deep trenches there. we really satisfied for their operation and they are highly recommended.

Allan was a complete joy to work with!
I started planning this trip in September of 2022 for 14 people. We customized the trip for the things we wanted to see. Allan and I probably sent close to 200 emails over the year of planning and he always responded within 24 hours. We had someone cancel a month before and he quickly assisted in the agreement refund policy and rearranged rooms. All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our guides George and Obama were extremely professional, personable, very knowledgeable and we would definitely request them again. We spent the first 3 days in Nairobi - Lake Nakuru - Maasai Mara - Amboseli - Tsavo West & East - Diani Beach to end with some R&R. We saw the big 5, went to a Masai Mara village, planned a bush dinner and a hippo breakfast. We drove to all the places except one were we took a flight from Masai Mara to Amboseli. The drives took us through the countryside of Kenya which we loved seeing. The drives could be long for some so maybe think of more smaller flights between parks but we loved seeing Kenya. The only thing I would change was adding a few more days to enjoy some more time at the beautiful lodges. The food and drinks at the lodges was excellent. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Asante Sana Allan, George and Obama!

Very nice and considerate
We had a great experience with Back of Africa Adventure tours. Our guide Mr. Hudson is a great guide and a lovely person. We had so much fun with him during the whole tour, starting from Amboseli until Masai. Hudson was very considerate of our needs and showed us the best things in all the reserves. We loved the whole experience with Back of Africa Adventures. Highly recommend to all wildlife enthusiasts

We couldn't be more satisfied with everything
When we first requested an offer we didn't really know how long and which parks to visit. Allan was very helpful in offering us different options and length that would work for our family with 2 kids 8 & 11y. The communication was really well and I really appreciate Allans kind communication. Finally we ended up booking 5 days Nairobi to Amboselli, Tsavo West and East and ending in Diani Beach. We asked for a german speaking guide for our kids and opted for a Land Cruiser. We ended up with George as a driver and Thomas as the german speaking guide. Thomas spoke german really well and was very knowledgeable and if he didn't know anything he asked George which seems to have very in depth knowledge so we got a lot of insights in flora & fauna.
George is probably one of the best drivers you can get. When we went to the Rhino sanctuary and no Rhino showed up, he stayed overtime until all other cars except 3 left without seeing a Rhino. The ranger then however said our car could go up the lookout point for a few minutes to spot the Rhino with our binocular. The next day we were driving back to lodge when there were some lions close by with a lot of cars already there. He then again, waited until all other cars left and we could move closer and some more lions came passing right beside our car and we could see them close by.
We were lucky to see all the big 5 and so many more animals. We really enjoyed the different parks and vegetation inside the parks and had an awesome time. The 2 hour walking safari with a local ranger was a great experience as well, we learned a lot and the ranger was a really nice guy.
The lodges we had were good as well. The best food we had was at the Kiba Lodge, Kilaguni Serena Lodge was amazing as we could watch the animals (Elefants, Zebras, Water Bocks, Giraffs...) right from our dinner table. Aruba Ashnil was also ok. One thing to critizise would be that in Serena and Aruba they only had one big bed and a small bed in the room, which was too small for a adult and 2 kids. At Aruba we asked to add a fourth bed, which they did, but that should have been arranged right away.
It was a lifetime experience which we will never forget.

One of my best trips in life!
The trip organized by Allan was amazing! We went to the Masai Mara (Kenya) Serengeti (Tanzania) , and Ngorongoro s Crater, and Biwindi’s Impenetrable Park (Uganda, and Gorilla Trek and amazing lake lodge). Our lodges were amazing, glamping style, great food, and amazing natural surroundings. We had the best Guides, Bohr, Agustine, and Leo. We were a party of two and had the jeep to our selves the whole trip. Such a memorable trip! Totally worth while and life changing :)

Communicative, helpful and a fabulous trip
Allan discussed our itinerary in full beforewe left and arranged for our guide and driver, Brian to pick us up in Mombassa for our five day safari to Tsavo East and West. We stay in two beautiful lodges with views from our rooms over waterholes. Brian was great, taking us on brilliant game drives, seeing 37 lions in one day and a vast host of other animals, plus some gorgeous countryside. We had a walk with a ranger too, which was fascinating. The food in the lodges was delicious and altogether we have arrive back in Nairobi full of fabulous memories. Value for money? Absolutely! In fact it was better than we expected. Thank-you Brian and, of course, Allan.

Great value
Although we had booked our tour pre-pandemic Alan honoured our booking and communicated well throughout. Enkorok camp was a great choice for a safari base. George was a fantastic guide and looked after us brilliantly all week.

Great guide, and good variety of safaris
We did a private safari with our 3 children who were 9-15. We all really enjoyed our time and the children were far more engaged than we expected. We went for a safari van which was fine but probably increased the drive time between locations. The itinerary wasn’t quite what we had been sent as the drive times between locations were longer (but we enjoyed these as got to see so much of Kenya). Our guide however was honest about this from the outset and ensured we still got lots of time on game drives - we did 2 full day game drives in the 5 days. We saw every animal you could wish to including leopards, only Mt Kilimanjaro was elusive and stayed behind cloud. The accommodation improved with every move but was all great and had pools (but be aware the pools are often closed if arriving late and hard to fit in if leaving early!). I would really recommend Back if Africa, their communication before was great and we had a fabulous safari.

Amazing
The trip was breath taking. The service was excellent, food delicious, and you get a lot for your money especially if you travel witha group together. My driver went so far for my to see everything, and it felt like they enjoyed you having the best time. I recommend this to all my friends, and I will definitely be back, using Back to Africa Adventure.
