Back of Africa is the best! Allan is very professional, timely and detailed. He provided every detail exactly as we wanted and more! George our driver was very knowledgable and fluent in English. He made sure we got what we wanted! We would highly recommend then if you are looking for hassle free adventures and action!

Memories of a lifetime ~ powered by Back of Africa adventure
5/5

Only one word to describe our 4-day Tsavo east/west & Amboseli Safari trip: amazing!

Amongst multiple tour operators Back of Africa immediately stood out due to price, offering, flexibility and very helpful assistance in advance.

This turned out to be a representative for the trip itself, hosted by our amazing, skilled and lovely driver Omar who tried his best to let us experience most of what unpredictable Mother Nature has to offer in Southern Kenya.

The well-thought-thru itinerary let us have an amazing trip starting from day one, building up towards the end saving best for last so we were fascinated all the time.

The skills and knowledge of the driver really added to the experience, as well as the back office organization prior. The company as well as the driver is very reliable and I would highly recommend choosing Back of Africa as preferred operator.

The best tour ever!
5/5

I and my friends had a safari experience with Back of Africa and it definitely exceeded our expectations!
Allan - our tour organizer - is super professional, hands on, dedicated and clear in communications. So everything was amazing from the first contact till the end.
We stayed in Sarova Camp, it is like an oasis. The atmosphere, food and staff all 100/100.
I'd like to say big thank you to our tour guide George. He is amazing. We have seen all the big 5 in our first day. For the next day we asked him to get closer to giraffes and he found a place where there is no one except our jeep and like 10 giraffes!. He is not only amazing in his job but also has a great personality.
In summary, this tour is the one =)

Wonderful 7-day-safari
5/5

We had a wonderful 7-day-safari through Tsavo West, Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Nationalpark. Allan organized our whole costumized safari in only 2 days as we booked very spontaneously! The communication per mail was very good, he always responded immediately. Simon is the perfect driverguide with his excellent knowledge about the nature, animals and local culture as well as the best spots for great animal sightings. Also he never rushed but gave us enough time for watching animals and taking pictures. Not only did we see all Big Five but also many many other animals. The accomodations we had were amazing. As we are on a vegan diet, Allan made sure that we had all vegan meals. We recommend to book a Safari with Back of Africa Adventure 100%!!!
Thank you very much for a wonderful time!

This is the best Company to use for a great Safari. Ask for Obama!
5/5

I did two different sets of Safari with Back of Safari. My guide was Obama. I had an absolutely amazing experience. Most guides will just show you the animals. On our safaris, our guide explained to us all of the details of the land, the culture, the neighboring tribes and much more. They have the best prices and without a doubt the best guides. If you are wanting a great safari experience, Back of Safari is the best way to go.

Back of Africa have did a great job in organizing and guiding during our whole trip in Kenya
5/5

This is my first time visit Kenya and thank you so much that Back of Africa have provided to me a great experience throughout my safari. Allan is really helpful and pleased to answer any of our questions during our planning stage especially arranging the pick up and drop off from and to airport no matter how early is the flight....pick up at very early morning 4am with no worries.

Our guide, George, an extremely experienced and really nice guy. He can spot the animals so quick that we even need to search for some time from where they are. George will try his best effort to search for the hiding animals and explained to us in details their character and behaviour with best of his knowledge. We indeed can understand more about the wild. Overall the safari is wonderful. The lodge we are staying with very good standard, the price is reasonable, the safari is smooth and well planned and the service is excellent.

I will highly recommend my friends to join Back of Africa or maybe me again in the coming future.

Wonderful safari tour
5/5

I joined 4 days Massai Mara tour and Nairobi National Park safari.
In Massai Mara, I saw a lot of lions, a leopard, two cheetahs, three black rhinos and many other animals.
Allan is very kind and sends me email so quickly.
Driver guides know about animals very well.
I'd like to visit Kenya again!

Kenya Safari
5/5

Alan was excellent and provided a very professional service. He is an honorable person, we found him to be trustworthy and honest. He stood by what he promised. Airport pickup and drop off (and hotel transfer) included as part of the package. We opted for 5 day safari covering 3 parks ( Massai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli), but in hindsight this is too much for 5 days as it requires a lot of driving every day (6 hours a day). If we were going again, we would recommend 2 parks would suffice (skip Nakuru - long drive for limited wildlife viewing). Driver was very knowledgeable on wildlife/animals, and handled the 4WD very well (had to switch to 4WD on one bad mountain road). Massai village visit included as part of package, but in the village we visited in Amboselli, the village chief's son who guided us around the village, was on a serious sales pitch - far too much. Significant pressure to buy items at extremely inflated prices and to donate money to the local school. This was uncomfortable and took away from the village visit.

Strong recommendation for excellent service!
5/5

I wish to thank Allan for his excellent service and great safari experience. His more than friendly approach and timely communication exceeded my expectations. He is top class professional in safari tours branch of business. In addition, he provided me a necessary support and help in Nairobi where I experienced some difficult moments. He is truly a great guy who I strongly recommend to anyone interested in safari experience in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
