Everything was perfect before, during and after the trip.
- Quick answers, different propositions to adapt to customer needs
- Good organisation in the country for hotels, transfers and safaris

Everything was organised for us, we had only to think about our holidays and to enjoy.

Always brilliant!
I have used this company for many safaris over many years, and have never been disappointed. Allan, who is the central guy for all communications is excellent and gives you different types of packages and prices. The attention to detail is excellent, as is the quality of the guide. Personable, very knowledgeable and excellent at spotting the wildlife! There are many companies out there but I will always recommend and use this company! Excellent value for money - you will not be disappointed!

Amazing experience in Tanzania
We are so thankful to Back of Africa for preparing the perfect safari experience possible. Allan was extremely attentive and helpful, took care of us in Kenya and Tanzania. Airlines lost our luggage the day before we departed for our safari and Allan made everything in his power and had our lost luggage delivered to us a day later in the midst of the Northern circut somewhere between Serengeti and Tarangire:) we vere amazed at exceptional planning and execution of the safari. Our guide Anwar in Tanzania had an amazing knowledge of wildlife and was full of interesting stories he shared at dinner:) Seriously, look no further, Back of Africa will make your african dreams come true and will take care of you if anything goes wrong. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends until the end of time.

Great Safari Experience!
We just did a 3 night/4 days Safari to Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru. Allan helped us organize the Safari; he answered all our questions in a timely fashion and was available through email and chat. Our guide George greeted us from the airport and everything went smoothly during the Safari. We saw the Big 5, and many other animals thanks to our guide Benson. He was very knowledgeable; he knew ins and outs of Masaai Mara. We chose luxury accommodation and our hotels were exceptional: comfortable, clean, and with great view.
The lodges were booked in good time despite our late payments due to our bank restrictions on figures that should b transferred overseas
Overall, we had a great Safari thanks to Allan and Benson. I would highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris to every traveler.

Life time experience!! Thank you very much Back Of Africa Adaventure
I hold a uk passport though working at the uk embassy here in Kenya for the last one year now. I had my husband and 4 of my old school friends visiting me from uk/ usa and Canada; I felt so nervous on what surprises I should offer them when they visit me here in Kenya since it was their first leg in East Africa.
Thanks to the new technology “internet”. Through my internet surfing I came across Back of Africa adventure online and thanks to the reviews from all walks of the world who did a safari with this company. I got convinced and impressed with the few comments I read online.
My mail contact was Allan, to be honest this young gentle man love his work and respnds faster than i could imagine.
I requested a 15 days Kenya and Tanzania trip. The accommodations were wonderful as were the destinations that allan helped us select. We really appreciated the diversity of the places we visited and stayed at: Samburu national game reserve, olpajeta conservancy (sweet waters conservancy) Lake Nakuru national park , Maasai mara game reserve Serengeti National park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National park and Tarangire National park.
Each park and each camp had something special to offer. One camp had only luxury 7 tents, one had 30 raised tents. Some were in between (with 15-20 individual units). Not all accommodations were tented... as Allan selected some middle class lodge type properties too to fit our budget bracket as we were not up market travelers. Each was different and had a unique personality which only added to the trip. Whether it was the view of Kilimanjaro, the resident warthogs, the sneaky monkeys, the elephants that visited the water hole for an evening drink, the gourmet food, the incredible service, the night game drive at srena sweet waters, the walking safari, the picnic breakfast or the Maasai spotters.. Each facility and each destination was perfect and amazing.
The most memorable moments on our 15 days adventure were being happily trapped in our "tree-tent" at Tarangeri Treetops for several hours while a family of elephants (6) ate their way around our raised tent. (see the elephant near the entrance to our tent). And a very special surprise Maasai blessing ceremony (orchestrated by Allan and his staff and our gracious hosts, Joe and Michael (guide) at mara sarova game lodge) to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in the Maasai Mara game reserve. Truly a fairytale ending to a dream vacation to my husband and I.
I highly recommend booking a personalized/customized tour rather than a group tour. We saw many of the "famous” group tours, staying at the same facilities we did. It was often 8 - 9 people ( strangers) traveling together and It appeared that they toured and dined together every day Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn't get along with someone in your group?? I think you lose the intimacy that traveling on a customized tour offers. We still had an opportunity to meet others without feeling obligated to participate in group activities.
Thank you very much Back Of Africa Adventure and our driver guide Michael keep it up even to future customers.
I recommend…

An amazing experience. Thanks Allan.
We hold a UK passport, though we are under internship here in Kenya for the next 3 months. there after we shall be flying back to UK for our further studies.
As a concerned traveler , i thought it wise to share with the whole world via this reputable site on my safari experience over the past festive. We had booked a 7 days 6 nights Exclusive trip for us ( 3 persons) + Balloon Safari with Back Of Africa Adventure, - Amboseli ( 2 Nights - Amboseli serena), Lake Nakuru 1 nights ( Sarova Lion Hill), Masai Mara 3 nights ( Sarova Mara camp). Must say very flexible, Very helpful and Efficient, Thank you Allan. Also a very big thank you to Benson who drive us, guide us to all park and show all possible Animal Including Lion, Cheetah, Leopard, Rhino, giraffe and off course all others. Complete trip was well planned and executed. Benson really took us to some places where normally people don't visit and expect any animal but we saw many things because of him.
Our contact person Allan, was very polite and kept his promises as per our mail conversations, no hitches but great value for money safari.
Thank you once again and we will go back to Masai in future with Back Of Africa Adventure,
Thanks.

Posted on Jan 11, 2016Dear Ivan,
How are you doing both doing today, How was your flight back home?
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to both of you for the very active support in business and for choosing my company Back Of Africa Adventure ltd to organize a trip to you and your family in the past few weeks to masai mara game reserve. Indeed it was an honor.
It brings me great pride (and motivation) after having met both of you prior and before the commencement of the trip and above all after the completion of your 4 days 3 nights trip with us.
It brings joy to my heart to see a smiling faces of my satisfied clientele towards my services and any time I hear from a satisfied customer... I grin. This is entirely due to our great team working relationship with my employees and valued customers like you and your family, which I am so thankful.
I beg to add, much compliments to you and your entire family for the prompt payments and quick telephone / mail communications that made our work so easy when it comes to booking your maasai mara accommodations in good time over a festive season (December Holidays).
Your feedback on this platform is so informed and helpful as it has helped me grow as an overall person in the company and also to many across the globe. Thank you very much.
The Chair lady and Board Members of Back Of Africa Adventure have also asked me to pass on their sincere appreciation for the privilege you both gave us to be your ground tour operator here in Kenya (Nairobi) of which cannot just go un noticed.
Again, thanks so much for your enthusiastic support to us. I have no doubt that it would not have been the success that it was without contributions of both of you as a family and I wish you all the best and a prosperous joyful year 2016.
Please keep in touch, and drop in and visit us whenever you are in Kenya more so i'm looking forward to working with both of you today and tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Allan

Affordable yet memorable safari
Back of Africa Adventure offered an exciting and memorable experience for me and my wife. It was was an affordable and amazing safari. They took us on a one week tour at the Maasai Mara and the driver cum guide were very friendly and knowledgeable. We did not experience any hitch on the way; we left on time; arrived on time and we were on time to catch our flight back to Rwanda.

Reliable Allan (owner)
Just returned from another safari organized by Allan of Back Of Africa Adventure, we have been to Kenya many times since my mom is working with UK embassy here in Kenya, I thought it wise to share my experience to fellow travelers opting to take safaris to Kenya since we were very pleased with the service we receive with Allan. In contact prior to the trip he responds to email rapidly, during the trip he stays in contact with your driver guide and you as guests just to ensure that all are in place. Making sure you have the safari experience you were hoping for. In our case he was not satisfied with the service of one of our booked tented camps, he changed the booking (upgrade) to mara serena lodge that was more than great for the wildlife view. Thanks again Allan, I will leaving Kenya at the end of October 2015 and I will book with your company again in the near future when I happen to visit my mom who is working here. “Keep the candle burning” even to other travelers
