5 day safari exceeded my expectations
I had an excellent time and the trip exceeded my expectations. Although it was November (off Season, small rain season), the weather was fantastic and we didn’t have any rain throughout the trip. The first night we stayed in a hostel close to Arusha airport. The room was ok, the food amazing and there even was a small pool. In the evening we sat by the fire and we had a chance to get to know the other people who would join the tour (6 in one car). We departed early the next morning and met our guide and chef for the first time. Habib our guide as well as our chef Bida both were absolutely amazing, authentic and passionate about what they do. Habib was super experienced, has shown a lot of effort in pleasing all guests‘ expectations and was able to show us all one should see on a safari…he was super kind and I felt very well looked after throughout the whole trip. He also let the decision up to us when we would like to get started in the mornings. Bida‘s Food was excellent and the portions were huge. Other groups we met at the camps for breakfast/lunch/dinner even were jealous of the food our group was served (e.g. pancakes and freshly baked cake at 5am in the morning). Both were able to answer all questions and I learned a lot about their culture. The campsites are ok, but don’t expect too much - panorama campsite was my favourite, as you slept in little huts and they also organized some entertainment in the evening. Some people complained about the Camp Sites but one should not forget that this is a budget camping trip! Tents were good but the Bathrooms/toilets often were in a bad state (toilets did not flush, showers sometimes did not work), but considering you are in the middle of a national park, I also did not expect too much, so for me this was part of the experience and ok….the last night we spent at the hostel in Arusha again. While transfer from the airport at the beginning of the trip was included, transfer at the end was not included anymore. Although the hostel is very close to the airport (max. 20min Drive), the transfer costs were rather high (20usd, and „only“ 25usd to Kilimanjaro airport, which is almost a 90min drive). So this somehow left a bad last impression which they should consider to change…all in all I can say I definitely would book this trip again!
Excellent safari for good price!
Best experience in my life! It is hard to express in the word, you have to do it!

Amazing experience - I'm still speechless
This Safari was one of the best things from my whole 6 weeks trip in Tanzania. The organization and communication with Nelson was very easy and quick. Nelson was extremely helpful and took very good care of me - thank you for that again :) I booked the 3 day Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and I had the best price from the whole group. The Safari itself was amazing, I'm still speechless about the things I saw there. Mandela - our driver - did an amazing job, that we had the chance to see very rarely things. I can't wait to have another Safari with them. At least I just can say thank you for this amazing experience!

Excellent views, wonderful people, perfect safari.
To be honest, from the beginning we did not expect anything from the safari at all. Low price, strange booking via Whatsapp with no prepayment, we would be happy if we simply got into the car, saw some zebras and wildebeasts and that's it. But it turned out excellent and much, much more than we've expected! We had a three day tour to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara. On the very first day in Tarangire we got the close ups of lions, elephants and giraffes. Not to mention huge numbers of zebras and antilopes running across the road. Second day in Ngorongoro was a bit disappointing after the first: the animals were further but still we saw a lot of new ones. The third day in Manyara finished with a leopard bomb so we even got the big 5!
The lunches were simple but great. The night stays were much more than we've expected too. We stayed at panorama site with excellent view on the Manyara lake. The food was abundant, hot water and all the necessary commodities were there.
Overall I highly recommend Nelson and Focus in Africa. I doubt you can find higher value for money safari.

Perfect experience! Lifetime memories for a great deal!
Wow! We are up to this day so amazed by the quality of service we received from Nelson's team including Brison our personal and joyful driver and Prosper our best cook in town!
We were warmly welcomed from the airport, brought to take a drink at Nelson'a favorite cafe in town and greatly accomodated at a homefelt hostal where we ate the best local food in town prepared with heart by mama.
The 3 day safari into the serengeti and Ngorongoro was stunning, let the pictures talk for themselves.
This company provided us with top quality service and friendliness for the least price.
Asanteni Nelson na familia, success to your company kaka

Right choice
We had a very exciting 3 days safari in Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend this program. We found this program very sufficient in terms of content and days. We had the chance to see all the big five except the black rhino from the first day it was a very impressive experience
We stayed the first night in a dome (Nelson's big surprise for us) and the next night in tent,
At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. We had the cook with us and he (Prosba) prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. The driver (JUMA) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures.
The owner of the tour (Nelson) very interested, we can always reach him, he hosted us very nicely in his hostel before and after the safari. Our cook at the hostel was very friendly and made very tasty food
A once-in-a-lifetime experience
