Communicative, helpful and a fabulous trip
Allan discussed our itinerary in full beforewe left and arranged for our guide and driver, Brian to pick us up in Mombassa for our five day safari to Tsavo East and West. We stay in two beautiful lodges with views from our rooms over waterholes. Brian was great, taking us on brilliant game drives, seeing 37 lions in one day and a vast host of other animals, plus some gorgeous countryside. We had a walk with a ranger too, which was fascinating. The food in the lodges was delicious and altogether we have arrive back in Nairobi full of fabulous memories. Value for money? Absolutely! In fact it was better than we expected. Thank-you Brian and, of course, Allan.

Great value
Although we had booked our tour pre-pandemic Alan honoured our booking and communicated well throughout. Enkorok camp was a great choice for a safari base. George was a fantastic guide and looked after us brilliantly all week.

Great guide, and good variety of safaris
We did a private safari with our 3 children who were 9-15. We all really enjoyed our time and the children were far more engaged than we expected. We went for a safari van which was fine but probably increased the drive time between locations. The itinerary wasn’t quite what we had been sent as the drive times between locations were longer (but we enjoyed these as got to see so much of Kenya). Our guide however was honest about this from the outset and ensured we still got lots of time on game drives - we did 2 full day game drives in the 5 days. We saw every animal you could wish to including leopards, only Mt Kilimanjaro was elusive and stayed behind cloud. The accommodation improved with every move but was all great and had pools (but be aware the pools are often closed if arriving late and hard to fit in if leaving early!). I would really recommend Back if Africa, their communication before was great and we had a fabulous safari.

Amazing
The trip was breath taking. The service was excellent, food delicious, and you get a lot for your money especially if you travel witha group together. My driver went so far for my to see everything, and it felt like they enjoyed you having the best time. I recommend this to all my friends, and I will definitely be back, using Back to Africa Adventure.

Quality Company, Quality Safari
We had an excellent experience with Back of Africa on our recent Kenyan Safari! Our guide Simon was fantastic - it was like he had a sixth sense to determine where we would find animals and be able to drive very close to them. He was fun, knowledgable and very professional. The quality of the lodgings were very good to excellent, our Land Cruiser was the perfect way to drive around the savanna and the animals we saw (and pictures we got) were amazing! Highly recommended!

Great itinerary, wonderful guide, professional service
My husband and I did a 7 day / 6 night safari. It was a trip of a lifetime. Allan was extremely prompt in responding to queries and everything was well organized as agreed. Our driver Elliott was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the animals and a good driver on the Kenyan roads which were often in bad condition.
The highlight of our trip was staying at the Serena lodge at Tsavo West overlooking the waterhole. We also enjoyed our stay at the Sopa lodge in Nakaru (amazing view) and Keekorok lodge at Masai Mara (with a hippo pool). The food at all the lodges was delicious and varied. 2 of the lodges (Kibo at Amboseli and Aruba at Tsavo East) did not have WiFi in the rooms but that was a minor inconvenience
We were lucky to see over 25 lions at very close range during our safari as well as dozens of elephants and other wild life.
The only thing I would change is getting a 4 wheel vehicle next time as the roads (especially near Amboseli) are terrible.
I highly recommend Back of Africa. They provided great service and value. Allan was efficient and well organized and we highly recommend our driver Elliott

Only one word to describe our 4-day Tsavo east/west & Amboseli Safari trip: amazing!
Amongst multiple tour operators Back of Africa immediately stood out due to price, offering, flexibility and very helpful assistance in advance.
This turned out to be a representative for the trip itself, hosted by our amazing, skilled and lovely driver Omar who tried his best to let us experience most of what unpredictable Mother Nature has to offer in Southern Kenya.
The well-thought-thru itinerary let us have an amazing trip starting from day one, building up towards the end saving best for last so we were fascinated all the time.
The skills and knowledge of the driver really added to the experience, as well as the back office organization prior. The company as well as the driver is very reliable and I would highly recommend choosing Back of Africa as preferred operator.

The best tour ever!
I and my friends had a safari experience with Back of Africa and it definitely exceeded our expectations!
Allan - our tour organizer - is super professional, hands on, dedicated and clear in communications. So everything was amazing from the first contact till the end.
We stayed in Sarova Camp, it is like an oasis. The atmosphere, food and staff all 100/100.
I'd like to say big thank you to our tour guide George. He is amazing. We have seen all the big 5 in our first day. For the next day we asked him to get closer to giraffes and he found a place where there is no one except our jeep and like 10 giraffes!. He is not only amazing in his job but also has a great personality.
In summary, this tour is the one =)
