Everything was prepared well to make the experience perfect
5/5

My brother and I did the 4 day safari Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and finally Tarangire. We stayed at Nelson guest-house who is the man behind all the logistics, the chamber was good for the time we spent there. Nelson is very reactive and listens all of your requests.
During the Safari Our driver was perfect he knew so many interesting facts about animal told us about it with humour. The food was great also every day with various meals.
There is no words to descibre how good was the safari experience but in conclusion It was an amazing experience.

Unforgettable experience - amazing safari
5/5

I did the 4 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. It was my first safari so I didn't really know what to expect, but this safari exceeded all my expectations.
Our driver spotted so many different animals and knew so many interesting facts about them. Our chef was amazing as well and cooked us delicious food every day.
We stayed at three different campsitesin tents, two of them were in the middle of the parks, with wild animals roaming about, which is an unforgettable experience.
All in all, the safari was an amazing experience I wouldn't want to miss.

5 day safari exceeded my expectations
5/5

I had an excellent time and the trip exceeded my expectations. Although it was November (off Season, small rain season), the weather was fantastic and we didn’t have any rain throughout the trip. The first night we stayed in a hostel close to Arusha airport. The room was ok, the food amazing and there even was a small pool. In the evening we sat by the fire and we had a chance to get to know the other people who would join the tour (6 in one car). We departed early the next morning and met our guide and chef for the first time. Habib our guide as well as our chef Bida both were absolutely amazing, authentic and passionate about what they do. Habib was super experienced, has shown a lot of effort in pleasing all guests‘ expectations and was able to show us all one should see on a safari…he was super kind and I felt very well looked after throughout the whole trip. He also let the decision up to us when we would like to get started in the mornings. Bida‘s Food was excellent and the portions were huge. Other groups we met at the camps for breakfast/lunch/dinner even were jealous of the food our group was served (e.g. pancakes and freshly baked cake at 5am in the morning). Both were able to answer all questions and I learned a lot about their culture. The campsites are ok, but don’t expect too much - panorama campsite was my favourite, as you slept in little huts and they also organized some entertainment in the evening. Some people complained about the Camp Sites but one should not forget that this is a budget camping trip! Tents were good but the Bathrooms/toilets often were in a bad state (toilets did not flush, showers sometimes did not work), but considering you are in the middle of a national park, I also did not expect too much, so for me this was part of the experience and ok….the last night we spent at the hostel in Arusha again. While transfer from the airport at the beginning of the trip was included, transfer at the end was not included anymore. Although the hostel is very close to the airport (max. 20min Drive), the transfer costs were rather high (20usd, and „only“ 25usd to Kilimanjaro airport, which is almost a 90min drive). So this somehow left a bad last impression which they should consider to change…all in all I can say I definitely would book this trip again!

Amazing experience - I'm still speechless
5/5

This Safari was one of the best things from my whole 6 weeks trip in Tanzania. The organization and communication with Nelson was very easy and quick. Nelson was extremely helpful and took very good care of me - thank you for that again :) I booked the 3 day Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and I had the best price from the whole group. The Safari itself was amazing, I'm still speechless about the things I saw there. Mandela - our driver - did an amazing job, that we had the chance to see very rarely things. I can't wait to have another Safari with them. At least I just can say thank you for this amazing experience!

Excellent views, wonderful people, perfect safari.
5/5

To be honest, from the beginning we did not expect anything from the safari at all. Low price, strange booking via Whatsapp with no prepayment, we would be happy if we simply got into the car, saw some zebras and wildebeasts and that's it. But it turned out excellent and much, much more than we've expected! We had a three day tour to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara. On the very first day in Tarangire we got the close ups of lions, elephants and giraffes. Not to mention huge numbers of zebras and antilopes running across the road. Second day in Ngorongoro was a bit disappointing after the first: the animals were further but still we saw a lot of new ones. The third day in Manyara finished with a leopard bomb so we even got the big 5!
The lunches were simple but great. The night stays were much more than we've expected too. We stayed at panorama site with excellent view on the Manyara lake. The food was abundant, hot water and all the necessary commodities were there.
Overall I highly recommend Nelson and Focus in Africa. I doubt you can find higher value for money safari.
