Overall, a very good value safari
We did a five-day safari with Focus in Africa in March 2020. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara.
Overall, the safari was great value. We saw a lot of animals, including the Big Five. Nelson, the organiser, was easily reachable and communicative.
Our driver, Loi Solo, was superb. He was very kind, was able to navigate the tough roads, and importantly was very good at spotting the animals. The safari jeeps were excellent, with pop-up rooves, electricity sockets for charging devices, a fridge, and everyone had a window seat.
Most of the camping was of good standard, the facilities for the campsite near Tarangire and Lake Manyara were excellent.
The food was also good.
There were a couple of drawbacks. The campsite in the Serengeti was poor, a lot of the tents were old & broken, and could not keep out the rain (we were there in the wet season). Our particular safari appeared to be overbooked, which led to a cramped jeep and a number of changes to the itinerary over the five days.
As this was a budget camping safari, these are not issues that would prevent me recommending Focus in Africa to those interested in a safari experience.

Amazing Safari
I joined a 4-day safari tour with my friends and spent wonderful days on safari in Tarangire, serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our driver Herman was so reliable and knew a lot about animals.
Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Nelson and his colleagues did a great job for us.
Thanks to them, I spent one of the most wonderful experience in my life.
If you're having trouble finding a good safari company, I highly recommend Focus In Africa.

4 days amazing saffari trip
Thank you for one of the most beautiful experiences in our life. Everything was very nice and exciting and the driver and the cooker were professionists and very helpful. It exceeded our expectations! Serengeti was really nice and we sow the animals migration but Ngorongoro Crater was the place that impressed as the most, a real paradise. Thank you Nelson, Alfani and the chef.

Good experience for an affordable price
We had a good experience with Focus in Africa. We actually booked the Safari with a different company with higher prices (SD Safaris) but ended up being put together with the Focus in Africa group. We had a great Safari and saw a lot of animals. It has to be said that the fridge in the car didn’t work and the driver did not check the spare tire before we went. So we ended up spending three hours at a petrol station. However, these sort of things seem to be just normal when booking a budget safari. So I would still definitely recommend the company. The communication is good and the price the best I have seen. The four day safari is a great experience as you get to see a lot of amazing landscapes and animals.

Meeting grand nature
I joined 4-day safari tour and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro national park. As every park has characteristic ecology, we could see different animals among three parks. Our driver Herman was well experienced and had much knowledge.
Planning phase was also good. I met them in SAFARI BOOKINGS and reserved this tour from Japan by e-mail. It was easy and Nelson was very helpful. If you rely on them, you don’t have to prepare all safari-things except binoculars and sunscreens.

Great Safari and Good Price
I joined a 4-day camping group safari and had a great experience! Communication with Nelson beforehand (via WhatsApp) was easy and he was very helpful. The atmosphere in the group was relaxed and we enjoyed viewing a large range of animals in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. Our tour guide and driver Herman was reliable and very knowledgeable.

great travel in Tanzania
My friends and I stayed at the hostel on the first day and the last day of our travel.
We received a warm hospitality from Nelson and Adam(the hostel people), and they invited us to drink at night. It was so good time!
In the safari tour, Herman(the guide) showed us the Tarangire, serengeti, and Ngorongoro. He kindly stopped a car according to our animal watching pace.
So we took our time watching many kinds of mammals.
Personally, it was nice to be able to watch serval cats. They were so tiny and cute!
Also regarding arrangement of meal and accommodation at both safari and hostel, and pick-up between the airport and the hostel, it was so great and smooth.
Our travel was very comfortable all the time, except that often the shower got only water(but it was no problem). Thank you so much!

Very good value for money
Everything was very well organized, the drivers were too early even though we are in Africa haha. Communication via whats app was good and easy. Safari itself was also very good, just saw no cheetahs, otherwise everything!

The trip of a lifetime!
An all star team from Nelson to Alfani - the perfect guide and Peter - the most awesome chef. Incredible scenes from lions feasting to hippos jostling and buffalos visiting the campsite. Memories that will last forever. If you're thinking about booking, don't think - Just go for it!

Great experience for a good price
I'm travelling with a friend around Tanzania, and we book a 5 days safari with Nelson (Focus in Africa).
Everything was great, Herman (the guide) find all the animals for us, and Peter (the cook) made great meals each day.
The camps were confortable enough for these amount of days.
