Nelson is a strong communicator with a strong team and network.
Strongly recommend this provider. Booked a 4 day group safari with them and found the following really strong:
1. Communication - very easy to work with them on the logistics from airport pick up to airport drop off. Also they were flexible on some of our asks such as vegetarian food.
2. Safari tour and guide - guide was knowledgeable and patient. We saw lots of animals including Rhino and leopard which can be more difficult to find. Bryson was super.
3. Food - very delicious and high quantities. They were also able yo accommodate vegetarians. Prosper, the chef, was great.
4. Lodgings - mix of tent camping and one night in sleep huts on a mountain overlooking Rift valley. Super cool to sleep so close to nature and animals.
5. Community vibe - they work locally with taxi drivers and hostel providers, so feels better integrated with the Arusha community
Overall exceeded my expectations and really recommend!

Great safari and great staff, Recommended!
Very nice experience !! Nelson was welcoming and very professional, although we had a problem at arrival time and airport he arranged for us and got us a driver even after few hours delay and airport change. The safari was amazing, food was diverse and good quality. Definitely recommended!!

The tour with Focus in Africa was beyond amazing!
Definitely and highly recommend the safari with Focus in Africa. The whole experience was more than amazing: lovely guide (Augustin), very experienced and always patient and happy to stop wherever asked to, fantastic in spotting animals and teaching everything he knows about the parks and the wildlife. Joyful and attentive to our needs throughout the trip. Prosper, the chef, is also a five star. Extremely polite and the meals where beyond what we were imagining to get (tasty soups, african dishes, and never repeating his menu). If you are on a budget, do not hesitate in doing the group safari (6-people), the experience will be even better if you join an exciting and diverse group, as we had the luck to be part of. Camping at the campsites is just like being in the nature with the animals, an unique trip for life.

Reliable and kind
A very huge experience! The provider is very kind and he answer very fast to any question! The tour was so exciting and full of emotion, through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. We saw a lot of different animals, thanks to the guide Bryson, Bruno for the Italian friends! Every people we met were kind and ready, the food was very good. We also shared the car with people from all around the world, a enriching situation! An experience absolutely to do!

Simply the best experience
5 stars all the way. Like, many others we were overwhelmed with the options for picking a safari company. We are a family of 5 including 3 kids and wanted an amazing but budget safari option. Focus in Africa and Nelson definitely gave us the best price - another company told me their price "doesn't even make sense to me." Nelson was responsive, flexible, and kind both in-person and through regular communication on WhatsApp including during our safari.
The experience itself was simply the best. Our driver / guide Kennedy was as professional and kind as they get. He was incredible at finding animals often with us being first. He got to know our kids and customized our schedule and needs with a daily check-in. The vehicle and safari experience were once-in-a-lifetime and I imagine better than people who paid much more. Our cook, Prospect, was also fantastic serving up warm, fresh, and unique vegetarian meals each day.
We also stayed 4 nights at Nelson's hostel, Arusha Safari Hostel, and had a wonderful time! His family and staff treated us like family, made tasty meals, and provided a warm, comfortable place to call home.
Do not hesitate to use Focus in Africa!
