It is a Great trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We saw many animals. It was good organize trip!
5/5

Safari is an old dream, and I was very worried before the vacation so that the realization of this dream would not disappoint me.
There are a large number of offers of safari tours from different companies, prices and conditions are on average the same for all, so it is rather difficult to choose.
I wanted to plan everything in advance to make sure to include the safari in my vacation plan. I have been looking for and talking with managers of different companies for a long time. Nelson was recommended to me by guys who recently went on a safari with his company (I found them in the chat in the telegram).
I was not mistaken in my choice, everything was organized at the highest level - punctually and clearly. We talked a lot on WhatsApp before I arrival, he helped choose the safari program and plan the time of arrival in Arusha.
We arrived a day before the start of the tour. We were met by a car with a driver and taken to the hostel provided by Nelson.
The hostel has small rooms, but delicious dinners.
In the morning, after breakfast and an organizational meeting, we went to Tarangire Park, accompanied by a guide. We spent the second day in Ngorongoro. The impressions are unforgettable, a lot of different animals are very close.
We saw:
Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Gehenna, Jackals, Antelope, Wildebeest, Baboons, Ostriches, Warthog, Rhinos, Hippos, Monkey, Buffalo, Gazelles, Water goats, Liones
And a bunch of different birds - pelicans, flamingos
They searched for a lioness for a long time and found it.
The guide knows a lot about local animals, nature and was happy to answer all of our questions.
We spent the night at the Panarama hotel with a stunning view of Lake Manyara.
A delicious dinner was organized, a show program, they greeted us very cordially.
Flew off the day after the tour, Nelson arranged a taxi to the airport.

Wonderful adventure for a great price :)
5/5

I'm very pleased that I chose Safari with Nelson. Contact with him was immediate. Nelson is a helpful and reliable person, he took care of all the details. The cook is amazing - the food was delicious. I have never been hungry and thirsty. As for Safari itself, it was an amazing adventure! I've seen all of the big 5. I will remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you Nelson!

If there were any issues. Nelson was able to quickly answer and fix the problem within the hour. Very fast a prompt service.

Water and food was provided throughout the experience. Just make sure the birds don't snag them out of your hands!

You will not be dissapointed!
5/5

Nelson is amazing. He and his crew are quick and responsive, communicative, punctual, and super engaged. When you book your tour, it won't just be pickup at accommodation and a drop-off, you will enjoy connections that go beyond this. My tour guide and chef were superb; the food was great, and Ali was just perfect. He was a skilled driver and could spot the animals from a distance and quickly! We saw all of the Big Five and the Wild Five, including a LEOPARD (up close and personal)!!!! Nelson and his team were knowledgable and reliable; they exceeded all of my expectations, even going so far as to help me navigate COVID testing. I actually ended up booking another tour to the HotSprings. You will not be disappointed - I promise.

Best communication and support during the tour.
5/5

The communication with Nelson was amazing from the early beginning. We booked 4 days safari tour (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Nelson created super conditions to book a tour: no any payment in advance and flexible dates (it means we were able to change the dates without any charges).

The tour was great: we saw lots of animals. We didn’t see the whole big 5 (we saw all except the leopard), but this is the reason to come again.

Nelson was so supportive during the whole trip and helped us to explore the best adventure ever.

Highly recommend Focus in Africa and I’ll contact Nelson again for my future trips.

First of all,i would like to thank mr.Nelson,he is a really nice guy.
He was my support before and during trip..like asking me about my pcr test,is it negative..about my flight,is it cancelled,about my arrival time on airports,layovers etc..
And then a little bit about safari.. Tarangire is nice,it was our first safari day,and the first time is always beautiful..we saw so many elephants that i am sick of them

Really nice safari with focus in Africa !
5/5

We spent 4 days driving around Tarangire, Serengeti and the amazing Ngorongoro crater. Our driver and chef were really nice and always available to help us out. Also our accomodation were really worth it (small hut and then tents in really nice places) and the food was also pretty tasty.
We highly recommend Nelson and his colleagues !

Budget friendly safari for a premium experience
5/5

We enjoyed our 3 day safari (Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Manyara) very much and we had the best driver ever: Herman. He was fun and friendly and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We didn't expect much given the fact that we payed far less than most safari tours, but the experience exceeded all our expectations. The accommodation was ok, not spectacular, but who cares about luxury when you wake up to spectacular views and happy locals. The food was very good, a mix of continental and local dishes and Herman always made sure we had cold Safari beers in the car fridge. Communication with our host, Nelson, was prompt as he answered all our questions via Whatsapp and made sure we arrived safe. He was also very flexible with our dates.
I highly recommend this tour if you are not a stuck up pretentious tourist and you are just looking for an authentic, budget friendly safari experience. Thank you, Focus in Africa! Much love!
