Do not book this company! Avoid Focus in Africa!
Before starting with the bad things, I would like to thank the driver (Stanley) and the cook (Matthias), they were simply great, Stanley was able to share all his knowledge with us whenever he could! Matthias also knew how to make us travel through his cuisine!
Regarding the safari, we did a 5-day tour, the first 3 days were great but when we got to the 4th day, our camp was 20 minutes from Ngorongoro, but the driver was forced to pick up two other passengers more than 1 hour from our camp, we missed 2.5 hours (out of 6 hours of visiting) of our day at the crater, it is simply unacceptable, we pay a certain amount to have a quality service to end up missing animals and making journeys for nothing at all, our alarm was still at 5:30 am to leave the camp at 6 am and finally arrive at 8:30 am at the crater!
But it's not over, the next day, we leave our camp at 7:30 am to go to Lake Manyara and guess what? We stay more than an hour in front of the park because their organization is pitiful, we had to wait for another person from another camp to join us! But you should know that the driver, who was only visiting the lake, wanted us all to go together to get the one who was missing and return to the lake but we contested because we did not take the safari to do the taxi tours but to fully enjoy our vacation! It is not the fault of the driver but simply of the organization of this company, Focus in Africa. But it is not always over! After the visit to the lake, we had our flight to Kilimanjaro, and of course the head of the company Focus in Africa, Nelson, told us that a driver would pick us up after the lake to take us to the airport and make a journey of more than 3 hours and in the end, the driver was not at all aware that he had to drop us off at the airport. Another pitiful organization.
I absolutely do not recommend this company if you want to be at peace during your vacation!

1. They told me that I would be staying at a guesthouse and when I arrived I was staying in a tent. 2. the safari was very short, everything was at speed. we left in the morning at 8 and at 2 pm we were already at the accommodation. 3. our guide (KARIM) didn't speak English, he was driving fast, I had to tell him to stop so I could see the animals. unfortunately my safari was a disaster
