Kenya Safari
Alan was excellent and provided a very professional service. He is an honorable person, we found him to be trustworthy and honest. He stood by what he promised. Airport pickup and drop off (and hotel transfer) included as part of the package. We opted for 5 day safari covering 3 parks ( Massai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli), but in hindsight this is too much for 5 days as it requires a lot of driving every day (6 hours a day). If we were going again, we would recommend 2 parks would suffice (skip Nakuru - long drive for limited wildlife viewing). Driver was very knowledgeable on wildlife/animals, and handled the 4WD very well (had to switch to 4WD on one bad mountain road). Massai village visit included as part of package, but in the village we visited in Amboselli, the village chief's son who guided us around the village, was on a serious sales pitch - far too much. Significant pressure to buy items at extremely inflated prices and to donate money to the local school. This was uncomfortable and took away from the village visit.

Wonderful safari tour
I joined 4 days Massai Mara tour and Nairobi National Park safari.
In Massai Mara, I saw a lot of lions, a leopard, two cheetahs, three black rhinos and many other animals.
Allan is very kind and sends me email so quickly.
Driver guides know about animals very well.
I'd like to visit Kenya again!

Back of Africa have did a great job in organizing and guiding during our whole trip in Kenya
This is my first time visit Kenya and thank you so much that Back of Africa have provided to me a great experience throughout my safari. Allan is really helpful and pleased to answer any of our questions during our planning stage especially arranging the pick up and drop off from and to airport no matter how early is the flight....pick up at very early morning 4am with no worries.
Our guide, George, an extremely experienced and really nice guy. He can spot the animals so quick that we even need to search for some time from where they are. George will try his best effort to search for the hiding animals and explained to us in details their character and behaviour with best of his knowledge. We indeed can understand more about the wild. Overall the safari is wonderful. The lodge we are staying with very good standard, the price is reasonable, the safari is smooth and well planned and the service is excellent.
I will highly recommend my friends to join Back of Africa or maybe me again in the coming future.

A life adventure!
Me and my dad had the best time with Back of Africa Safari tours. A real adventure, with a great tour group and a hero of a tour guide/driver. He made the whole experience not just a bucket list moment but also a comedy show inter-disbursed with great knowledge of nature! I strongly urge anyone to give this a go as a simple must! Needless to say I will also be back in the hopefully near future!

Life changing experience.
For me everything worked nice and smooth, since the first day that I arrived in Nairobi, Allan was attentive and answered all my questions and doubts. The Safari itself was amazing, we managed to see a lot of animals including 4 of "the big five" and the incredible wildebeest and cebra migration. The drivers (I had two) were very friendly and gave explanations about animal behavior and other data. The camp also very good, the staff there also an amazing group of people. It definitely met my expectations.

Dream come true safari.
I contacted 4 companies in kenya and told them what we wanted. Only 1 came back with a price for exactly what we asked for. Alan from Back Of Africa Adventure was a pleasure to deal with. He always responded within minutes to my wasaps and emails and i can assure you i sent a lot of messages. The price for our 4 nights 5 days safari stunned me i never ever thought we could have got so much value for little money. We seen 4 out the big 5 but that was good for us as our guides done their upmost best. Seeing 2 leopard was the highlight. I now know we could afford another safari and if i am ever in Kenya again i will be in touch with Alan for sure. Did i mention our tents at the campsite were ensuite?

Obama: The Tour Guide That Made For the Best Safari Ever
Our guide, Obama, was hands down the best tour guide we could have possibly asked for. He was infinitely knowledgeable on everything you could possibly want to know when visiting these magical landscapes. He spent hours upon hours telling us the stories of the Maasai people, explaining the history of each location and Kenya in general, and detailing the behaviors and habits of every animal we would (and did) see on our safari. Aside from his wealth of knowledge, he was extraordinarily energetic, jovial, kind, and respectful of our wishes for the trip. He bent over backwards and jumped through hoops to make sure we could experience all that was possible. Obama is the kind of person that you'll become best friends with immediately and you know his passion is to provide you with the most unforgettable experience you could hope for.

A wonderful experience in Tanzania
I had a two-day tour of Ngorongoro, Tarangire in Tanzania.
It was originally scheduled for three days, but due to delays in flight departures, it arrived in Tanzania 24 hours later than expected. In addition, the baggage was lost.It was really the worst. I informed Alan about this situation, and he gave me feedback in real time. Alan's quick scheduling helped me finish the trip well.
And, because I lost my luggage, the guide helped me buy the things I needed before I started the safari tour.
Although the whole situation has shown the worst, I am very grateful to have completed the trip safely with the help of Allan.
And everyone! Go to Ngorongoro. I saw a family of lions hunting buffalo there. It was by far the best moment.
I wish you good luck, too.

Brilliant organiser + knowledgable guides = Best Honeymoon
Allen is the best contact person one can have to plan an Africa Safari. He was available 24x7 for instant assistance. Unfortunately my flight got delayed and I missed my connecting flight to Nairobi. I was in contact with Allen even at 22:00, he was available, very patient and ensured the trip went smoothly in spite of missing out on the first day. Thanks to his planning we had absolutely no hiccups in our honeymoon and we had a trip that is worth remembering for a lifetime. Back of Africa tailor made our plan to suit out budget and the places we wanted to visit, we had lovely stays and were provided with good knowledgable guides who were very punctual. Overall we had a great experience and we highly recommend this company for your Safari.
