Budget friendly safari for a premium experience
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!

Most awesome mountain experience
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!
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
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.

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

Amazing Safari
I joined a 4-day safari tour with my friends and spent wonderful days on safari in Tarangire, serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our driver Herman was so reliable and knew a lot about animals.
Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Nelson and his colleagues did a great job for us.
Thanks to them, I spent one of the most wonderful experience in my life.
If you're having trouble finding a good safari company, I highly recommend Focus In Africa.

4 days amazing saffari trip
Thank you for one of the most beautiful experiences in our life. Everything was very nice and exciting and the driver and the cooker were professionists and very helpful. It exceeded our expectations! Serengeti was really nice and we sow the animals migration but Ngorongoro Crater was the place that impressed as the most, a real paradise. Thank you Nelson, Alfani and the chef.

Good experience for an affordable price
We had a good experience with Focus in Africa. We actually booked the Safari with a different company with higher prices (SD Safaris) but ended up being put together with the Focus in Africa group. We had a great Safari and saw a lot of animals. It has to be said that the fridge in the car didn’t work and the driver did not check the spare tire before we went. So we ended up spending three hours at a petrol station. However, these sort of things seem to be just normal when booking a budget safari. So I would still definitely recommend the company. The communication is good and the price the best I have seen. The four day safari is a great experience as you get to see a lot of amazing landscapes and animals.

Meeting grand nature
I joined 4-day safari tour and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro national park. As every park has characteristic ecology, we could see different animals among three parks. Our driver Herman was well experienced and had much knowledge.
Planning phase was also good. I met them in SAFARI BOOKINGS and reserved this tour from Japan by e-mail. It was easy and Nelson was very helpful. If you rely on them, you don’t have to prepare all safari-things except binoculars and sunscreens.

great travel in Tanzania
My friends and I stayed at the hostel on the first day and the last day of our travel.
We received a warm hospitality from Nelson and Adam(the hostel people), and they invited us to drink at night. It was so good time!
In the safari tour, Herman(the guide) showed us the Tarangire, serengeti, and Ngorongoro. He kindly stopped a car according to our animal watching pace.
So we took our time watching many kinds of mammals.
Personally, it was nice to be able to watch serval cats. They were so tiny and cute!
Also regarding arrangement of meal and accommodation at both safari and hostel, and pick-up between the airport and the hostel, it was so great and smooth.
Our travel was very comfortable all the time, except that often the shower got only water(but it was no problem). Thank you so much!
