Amazing experience in Tanzania
We are so thankful to Back of Africa for preparing the perfect safari experience possible. Allan was extremely attentive and helpful, took care of us in Kenya and Tanzania. Airlines lost our luggage the day before we departed for our safari and Allan made everything in his power and had our lost luggage delivered to us a day later in the midst of the Northern circut somewhere between Serengeti and Tarangire:) we vere amazed at exceptional planning and execution of the safari. Our guide Anwar in Tanzania had an amazing knowledge of wildlife and was full of interesting stories he shared at dinner:) Seriously, look no further, Back of Africa will make your african dreams come true and will take care of you if anything goes wrong. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends until the end of time.

Great Safari Experience!
We just did a 3 night/4 days Safari to Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru. Allan helped us organize the Safari; he answered all our questions in a timely fashion and was available through email and chat. Our guide George greeted us from the airport and everything went smoothly during the Safari. We saw the Big 5, and many other animals thanks to our guide Benson. He was very knowledgeable; he knew ins and outs of Masaai Mara. We chose luxury accommodation and our hotels were exceptional: comfortable, clean, and with great view.
The lodges were booked in good time despite our late payments due to our bank restrictions on figures that should b transferred overseas
Overall, we had a great Safari thanks to Allan and Benson. I would highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris to every traveler.

Life time experience!! Thank you very much Back Of Africa Adaventure
I hold a uk passport though working at the uk embassy here in Kenya for the last one year now. I had my husband and 4 of my old school friends visiting me from uk/ usa and Canada; I felt so nervous on what surprises I should offer them when they visit me here in Kenya since it was their first leg in East Africa.
Thanks to the new technology “internet”. Through my internet surfing I came across Back of Africa adventure online and thanks to the reviews from all walks of the world who did a safari with this company. I got convinced and impressed with the few comments I read online.
My mail contact was Allan, to be honest this young gentle man love his work and respnds faster than i could imagine.
I requested a 15 days Kenya and Tanzania trip. The accommodations were wonderful as were the destinations that allan helped us select. We really appreciated the diversity of the places we visited and stayed at: Samburu national game reserve, olpajeta conservancy (sweet waters conservancy) Lake Nakuru national park , Maasai mara game reserve Serengeti National park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National park and Tarangire National park.
Each park and each camp had something special to offer. One camp had only luxury 7 tents, one had 30 raised tents. Some were in between (with 15-20 individual units). Not all accommodations were tented... as Allan selected some middle class lodge type properties too to fit our budget bracket as we were not up market travelers. Each was different and had a unique personality which only added to the trip. Whether it was the view of Kilimanjaro, the resident warthogs, the sneaky monkeys, the elephants that visited the water hole for an evening drink, the gourmet food, the incredible service, the night game drive at srena sweet waters, the walking safari, the picnic breakfast or the Maasai spotters.. Each facility and each destination was perfect and amazing.
The most memorable moments on our 15 days adventure were being happily trapped in our "tree-tent" at Tarangeri Treetops for several hours while a family of elephants (6) ate their way around our raised tent. (see the elephant near the entrance to our tent). And a very special surprise Maasai blessing ceremony (orchestrated by Allan and his staff and our gracious hosts, Joe and Michael (guide) at mara sarova game lodge) to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in the Maasai Mara game reserve. Truly a fairytale ending to a dream vacation to my husband and I.
I highly recommend booking a personalized/customized tour rather than a group tour. We saw many of the "famous” group tours, staying at the same facilities we did. It was often 8 - 9 people ( strangers) traveling together and It appeared that they toured and dined together every day Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn't get along with someone in your group?? I think you lose the intimacy that traveling on a customized tour offers. We still had an opportunity to meet others without feeling obligated to participate in group activities.
Thank you very much Back Of Africa Adventure and our driver guide Michael keep it up even to future customers.
I recommend…

Affordable yet memorable safari
Back of Africa Adventure offered an exciting and memorable experience for me and my wife. It was was an affordable and amazing safari. They took us on a one week tour at the Maasai Mara and the driver cum guide were very friendly and knowledgeable. We did not experience any hitch on the way; we left on time; arrived on time and we were on time to catch our flight back to Rwanda.

Reliable Allan (owner)
Just returned from another safari organized by Allan of Back Of Africa Adventure, we have been to Kenya many times since my mom is working with UK embassy here in Kenya, I thought it wise to share my experience to fellow travelers opting to take safaris to Kenya since we were very pleased with the service we receive with Allan. In contact prior to the trip he responds to email rapidly, during the trip he stays in contact with your driver guide and you as guests just to ensure that all are in place. Making sure you have the safari experience you were hoping for. In our case he was not satisfied with the service of one of our booked tented camps, he changed the booking (upgrade) to mara serena lodge that was more than great for the wildlife view. Thanks again Allan, I will leaving Kenya at the end of October 2015 and I will book with your company again in the near future when I happen to visit my mom who is working here. “Keep the candle burning” even to other travelers

the best moments on safari
That was the best tour in Kenya. We had excellent accomodation, service and security on safari in Masai Mara. Big car only for us and the driver was excellent tour guide, he fullfilled every our wish. The office took a good care of us in Nairobi and also helped us after safari with accomodation and travelling.
These are very helpful and good people. I highly recommend this office!

A family freedom safari without the rigid confines of a set schedule.
This was a family holiday with the option of altering the proposed schedule as we saw fit so that if we decided that we needed extra days in any one place or took our driver's advice or changed our minds as to where we wanted to visit next then we were free to do so.
Communication was excellent both in the planning of the trip and during the tour and what we were promised was delivered. We were met at the airport late at night and delivered to our hotel. The vehicle we were promised was what we expected - so often you hear stories of arriving to be met with anything but the vehicle that has been promised but that was not the case. Our driver (guide) was both personable and knowledgeable about the tour and what we might expect and also had the reference books in case we needed confirmation of what we were seeing. The tented accommodation was comfortable and clean with excellent toilet facilities. The roads are an experience in themselves ranging from the basic to State Highways so in that respect if you travel to the Maasai Mara by road then be aware that the rainy season could prove challenging. That however is not a reflection of the tour company or guide but just a fact of the system and its priorities.
All in all it was a trip to remember with many unsurpassed highlights. So if you want to experience a side of life at its most beautiful yet also at its most vulnerable then by all means take a tour. However, if on the other hand you want to luxuriate in the trappings of modernity and over the top opulence then consider a tour to anywhere else but don't go to Africa - the continent doesn't need you.

Professional and have good experience about safari
We had a fantastic, incredible, fun trip to Kenya - all the superlatives! We went to five camps and Allan planned the trip perfectly, particularly the order of our itinerary, The destinations and accommodations were great too. Our tour guide and drvier Hudson Obindi. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. every time he stoped at a very good position to help us to view animal more clean. We did saw the great migration as waves of wildebeest and zebras make their journey to crossed Mara river. We saw millions of Flamingos in BoGoria lake. Of cause many many animals like big five. We traveling in different landscapes, we went Hells Gate National park onto Lions Hill and also down the deep trenches there. we really satisfied for their operation and they are highly recommended.
