Safari tour was amazing and unforgettable.
5/5

We took 3 day dafari from Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater. Tarangire and Ngorongoro you see tons of animals because there is no eye blocks. Lake Manyara is kind a rainforest style park and we saw climbing lion there! All the parks just swells life everywhere. We slept at Panorama campsite in a clay iglu.

Safari was a blast and the price was cheap compared to others. We slept at Lionsgate hostel and Nelson got us all we needed. Would recommend this company and their services as reliable and very nice tours. Guides were friendly and animal experts. Would love to come again!

Right choice
5/5

We had a very exciting 3 days safari in Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend this program. We found this program very sufficient in terms of content and days. We had the chance to see all the big five except the black rhino from the first day it was a very impressive experience

We stayed the first night in a dome (Nelson's big surprise for us) and the next night in tent,
At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. We had the cook with us and he (Prosba) prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. The driver (JUMA) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures.
The owner of the tour (Nelson) very interested, we can always reach him, he hosted us very nicely in his hostel before and after the safari. Our cook at the hostel was very friendly and made very tasty food

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

Great value for money, unforgetable experience
5/5

We had a very nice 4 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend visiting all these three national parks and conservation area because each of them is different and beautiful in its own way. We stayed the first night in a dome and the next 2 nights in tents, the washrooms were in different buildings next to the camp site and there's also dining rooms where we would serve dinner and sometimes lunch. At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. (But not too many mosquitos so that was a plus.) We had the cook with us and she prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. We saw many, many animals, the guide (Ezeckiel, which was a great person, by the way, I totally recommend him) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures. We were really impressed of how many we saw. For us it was the first safari, so for the money we paid, I think it was a great value.

Everything was perfect, from start to finish, from the moment we were picked up at the airport.
5/5

Everything was perfect, from start to finish, from the moment we were picked up at the airport. The atmosphere in the Lions Gates is second to none, we had a very good evening before starting the safari, very good meal. Then during the safari it's just incredible, we saw the most beautiful things in our life, the landscapes, the animals, everything is magnificent. The guides are attentive, everyone is nice, I highly recommend! Small special mention to Petter who made us eat on the camps, very nice and very good cook!

Amazing 4 days !!
5/5

Nelson was incredible with me, the communication is really great with him. He is very accommodating because we pay directly on the spot without any advance payment. The safari was great with a guide and a wonderful food with a top cook! Do not hesitate to take focus on Africa

5/5

We did this safari with Balthazar (a great guide), we visited Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongo. Only one thing to say: incredible !!!

We booked remotely with Nelson, who was able to meet our expectations for this trip.

We ate like kings, thanks to Peter. His cooking was a delight.

Thanks to you 3 for this unusual safari.

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!!!

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.
