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!

Unforgettable experience - amazing safari
I did the 4 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. It was my first safari so I didn't really know what to expect, but this safari exceeded all my expectations.
Our driver spotted so many different animals and knew so many interesting facts about them. Our chef was amazing as well and cooked us delicious food every day.
We stayed at three different campsitesin tents, two of them were in the middle of the parks, with wild animals roaming about, which is an unforgettable experience.
All in all, the safari was an amazing experience I wouldn't want to miss.

Everything was prepared well to make the experience perfect
My brother and I did the 4 day safari Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and finally Tarangire. We stayed at Nelson guest-house who is the man behind all the logistics, the chamber was good for the time we spent there. Nelson is very reactive and listens all of your requests.
During the Safari Our driver was perfect he knew so many interesting facts about animal told us about it with humour. The food was great also every day with various meals.
There is no words to descibre how good was the safari experience but in conclusion It was an amazing experience.

Familiar atmosphere and cosyness
The Safari was amazing and well organised. The company provided everything and even if we did just one night we had the opportunity to appreciate the experience and to see a lot of animals and very good landscapes.
Lion's gate hostel where we stayed the night before the Safari was able to create a cosy and comfortable atmosphere, in a place that feels more like a home than a hostel. Special mention goes to the hostel's chef, who prepared for us the best pilau rice in the world and helped us to get bus tickets to go back to Dar es salaam. You will not forget the dinners next to the fire and the smiles of the people around!

Great safari trip!
Went on a safari trip (5 days) with this company. I enjoyed the trip a lot! The guides were nice and friendly and the chef was good. We saw the big five!
I got what I expected from a low-price company. Very familiar atmosphere. I can recommend the company.

Safari tour was amazing and unforgettable.
We took 3 day dafari from Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater. Tarangire and Ngorongoro you see tons of animals because there is no eye blocks. Lake Manyara is kind a rainforest style park and we saw climbing lion there! All the parks just swells life everywhere. We slept at Panorama campsite in a clay iglu.
Safari was a blast and the price was cheap compared to others. We slept at Lionsgate hostel and Nelson got us all we needed. Would recommend this company and their services as reliable and very nice tours. Guides were friendly and animal experts. Would love to come again!

Amazing Experience
I went to Tarangire and Ngorongoro with Focus in Africa and had a really wonderful trip. The whole trip was professionally organised with everything and I didn't face any issues. My safari guides were very friendly and helpful and the vehicle was great as well. Their camp site is beautiful and have good food. I would definitely recommend Focus in Africa and would not think twice before booking with them

Great safari experience with a great team
I did a 5-day safari and rallye enjoyed the trip. Our guide Dixon was very skilled, funny and kind. And also the rest of the Team, the cook, the staff at the hostel (night before and after the tour is included!) made us feel very welcome.
If you are travelling on a budget, I can only recommend Nelson and his great team.
Incredible value for money!
