Most awesome mountain experience
5/5

This was the most amazing experience I've ever had. Babaluu and his team took great care of us and were watching us all the time. They made our stay on the mountain a time to never forget. If you consider climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, please choose Babaluu and his team. Big hug from The Netherlands!

Our first safari, 10/10!
5/5

We spent a lot of time trying to find a safari in Tanzania that will have affordable price, will have good reviews, 4d duration and include all the best parks of Tanzania.

We were lucky to find Focus in Africa. Communication was great from the very beginning. We did not sent any money in advance, just payed on the morning of 1st day of safari.

Got a great driver and guide - Jakob. He knows where to find animals, different information about them and in general very kind person!
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoro-ngoro. Each park has own beauty and looks different. We were wery exited looking first time in our lives on lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and so on in the wild.

Highly recommend this company. They are doing a great job for very reasonable price.

Once in a lifetime safari brilliance
5/5

Tangerie, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater 4 day camping Safari

- Firstly the time in the parks & the variety of parks is amazing. The completely different viewing experiences offered by the different parks are well worth the travel. Being there in December we got the great wildebeest migration through the Serengeti plains, Tangerie offered climbing lions, and the Ngorogoro Crater was the most spectacular landscape I’ve witnessed, packed with animals. We even had a little trip to meet some local Masai on route.
- The ease of the trip was fantastic, we didn’t have to think about anything as food, water, accommodation and guiding was all included. A nice touch was that we got the night before accommodation included & didn’t need to book a taxi afterwards as we were dropped off at the location of our choice (within reason!)
- Bryson - our driver - was brilliant. Super personable, patient and was like a walking encyclopaedia with the animals. If you asked a question, 9/10 times he had the answer and he was also brilliant with spotting where the action was and picking up on animal behaviours. The car was also so helpful for having the height to see everything that he showed us & spot for ourselves.
- Peter - the chef - made great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. We were always full and he was amazing, waking up at 5am to get a cooked breakfast to us before morning drives.
- For the camping accommodation we got upgraded for 2/3 nights. We stayed overlooking lake Manyara and the sunrise was beautiful. Then in the Serengeti, hearing elephant and hyena through the night and then we camped on the edge of the crater with buffalo and a stalk for company.
- Nelson was brilliant with communication throughout, organised the trip so nicely and even found my sunglasses that I left in day 2 accommodation and delivered them to me in Arusha a few days later!

Thank you so much Team Focus in Africa. Me and my wife will never forget this experience.

Amazing
5/5

From start to finish this was an experience will will treasure. Nelson sorting pick up from airport to our booked accommodation and also arranging trip back to airport. The price beat all taxi quotes.
The 4 day 3 night safari was AMAZING! Our driver Balthazar?? He could spot animals even before we got binoculars to our eyes. The camping sites were great for sounds of the wild at night. Having lost power to our last campsite we have to give even special credit to our chef, Dr Stomach for still preparing an amazing dinner with just head torch to work with.
I can whole heartedly say that the price of this trip was well worth it and I would recommend to all my friends who are looking... Thank you Focus!!!

tour for 4 days - Tarangetti, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with camping
5/5

We chose a tour for 4 days - Tarangetti, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with camping. It was an incredible experience.
So many animals live in these areas. We saw a large family of lions, and small leopards, and a breakfast of lions and hyenas in Ngorongoro.
Special thanks to Florida guide and chef Chez. They made our trip as comfortable, tasty and interesting as possible.
The first stop was at a campsite with a restaurant and a swimming pool, there was little space to charge phones and cameras, but it was possible.
The next 2 nights we stayed in the national parks, everything was simple, but the necessary shower / toilet / kitchen were. In the Serengeti, showers are only with cold water, so don't procrastinate until dark with this. Ngorongoro had hot water!
The guide, who is also the driver, always tried to find us the best place for photos with animals, and to find a great 5 Africa.
Іn general, we were delighted with the trip

Wonderful experience
5/5

It was an amazing experience, everything went well according to the itinerary. Even with the sanitary circumstances, Nelson was really professional and succeeded to manage my 5 days/4 nights budget Safari.
The Drive guide was surprising as he always found the best spots to see wildlife.
The food was nice and the accommodations in accordance to the plan.
Beautiful experience without any issues, go without doubt !!

Once in a lifetime experience!
5/5

We had a wonderful 5-days safari tour with Nelson's Team. Smooth start with pick-up from bus station and staying at Nelson's hostel with a great dinner waiting for us after a long journey from Dar Es Salaam. The whole trip was very well organized and prepared. Except of small delay caused by waiting for other participant, everything went smoothly. We had a great guide (Herman) who had a huge knowledge about animals and was excellent in finding them (we have seen almost all and the great highlight was noticing a hidden gem: tree-climbing lion. The car was comfy, the route was perfectly selected by our driver (kept us interested all the time!). Sleeping on camps was a huge part of this experience and we would not change it for any other accomodation (a great change to enjoy some fire, watch stars and even meet hiena in a toilet!). The food was decent - simple, but joyful. The whole trip was simply amazing and I would definitely recommend it as the thing you cannot miss in Tanzania.

5 days tour of the big parks! Epic Adventure
5/5


This was the best last minute decision we made in our whole time in Africa.

Nelson made our trip and experience amazing. No problem to big and all done with easy chilled vibe.

We had an awesome time on this well organised trip. We seen such a variety of animals and landscapes I've dreamed of for many years.

Vehicles, accomodation and food were great quality and the guides both knowledgeable and fun.

I would highly recommend the trip we did taking in Serengeti - Ngorongoro - Manyara - and more!

Nelson and his team can make things work for whatever your needs are.

We used him again to take a friend a month after we did.


Get it booked and enjoy the experience for very good price.
