Terrible
I booked a two days safari, first day Tarangire, second Ngorongoro
First, one our late for the pick up than we had to wait until 10:15 for guests stuck in Arusha
We arrived at tarangire at 12h we only had a 2h safari on the first day.
Thought they would make up for it on the second day but no the worst was about to come.
Change of plans at last moment, lies, terrible guide, the boss not reachable and unreliable as well.
I thought it would be the best 2 days of my whole trip because it is quite expensive, ut it ended up to be the worst.

Great Kili 7 day hike with super team, excellent food and very friendly & helpful guides
We did a Kilimanjaro tour with Focus in Africa, and our guide was Emanuel, assistant guide Gadil, and cook Peter. We (Claire and Johannes) really liked everything, from the preparatory talk with Emanuel on the day before the tour, the fact that they also had women porters, the excellent level of service everybody in the team was providing, the outstanding cuisine of Peter (how did he do it?!? Secret miracle cooking device or what? ;-), the flora and fauna explanations of both Emanuel and Gadil during the hiking, the willingness to regularly sit down with us and explain, plan and organize the next steps and days, the help-when-needed-but-also-let-us-explore-our-borders-ourselves... so we were really happy to have booked with Focus in Africa!
And we would recommend other tourists to also do seven days, not six. You pay a little more obviously, but it was the perfect mix for us between experiencing the nature, having a demanding-but-not-exhausting physical effort every day, and being proud of ourselves at the end.
6 out of 5 stars ;-)

Once in a lifetime experience with Focus in Africa!
I’d truly recommend Focus in Africa!
We spent 4 amazing safari days with them. Our driver, Brison had eagle eyes, could spot everything from far away. Our chef cooked really good dishes, concerning that my friend eats glutenfree. We shared our safari camp with elephants, zebras, buffalos, monkeys. Nelson, thanks for organising it for us. It was an unforgettable experience!

Adventure of a lifetime
This was one of my most beautiful experiences in my lifetime so far and I can wholeheartedly recommend Nelson and his team. Everything was extremely professional, from the booking throughout the entire safari. I am quite sure this is the best value for money safari in all of Tanzania. If you are hesitant, just go for it!
From the point I was picked up at the airport, I felt incredibly welcome at Nelson‘s hostel. Iddy set up a beautiful bonfire at night, Mama Afrika cooked the most delicious meals and I met many fellow travelers as we enjoyed the dinner together.
Our 4-day safari was just perfect, I still cannot believe how much we saw in such short amount of time. Tarangire, Ngoro Ngoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. We saw so many animals so up close. Big thanks to the best driver George who always went the extra mile for us to see the animals from the best angle❤️ and our chef Salehe who cooked delicious meals and always catered to us vegetarians. Camping underneath the African night sky was truly a once in a lifetime experience even though I had never camped before. I wouldn't want it any other way.
I was traveling alone but had so much fun and made new friends in our lovely safari group.
Thank You so much guys for this unforgettable experience!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Great safari experience with a great team
I did a 5-day safari and rallye enjoyed the trip. Our guide Dixon was very skilled, funny and kind. And also the rest of the Team, the cook, the staff at the hostel (night before and after the tour is included!) made us feel very welcome.
If you are travelling on a budget, I can only recommend Nelson and his great team.
Incredible value for money!

Amazing Experience
I went to Tarangire and Ngorongoro with Focus in Africa and had a really wonderful trip. The whole trip was professionally organised with everything and I didn't face any issues. My safari guides were very friendly and helpful and the vehicle was great as well. Their camp site is beautiful and have good food. I would definitely recommend Focus in Africa and would not think twice before booking with them

Safari tour was amazing and unforgettable.
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!

Great safari trip!
Went on a safari trip (5 days) with this company. I enjoyed the trip a lot! The guides were nice and friendly and the chef was good. We saw the big five!
I got what I expected from a low-price company. Very familiar atmosphere. I can recommend the company.

Familiar atmosphere and cosyness
The Safari was amazing and well organised. The company provided everything and even if we did just one night we had the opportunity to appreciate the experience and to see a lot of animals and very good landscapes.
Lion's gate hostel where we stayed the night before the Safari was able to create a cosy and comfortable atmosphere, in a place that feels more like a home than a hostel. Special mention goes to the hostel's chef, who prepared for us the best pilau rice in the world and helped us to get bus tickets to go back to Dar es salaam. You will not forget the dinners next to the fire and the smiles of the people around!
