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.

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.

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!

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!

Really nice safari with focus in Africa !
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 !

Best communication and support during the tour.
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.

You will not be dissapointed!
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.

Great time, for a fair price
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!
