Amazing Kenyan Adventure!!!
5/5

I would like to thank Allen for a trip of a lifetime to Kenya! I traveled at the end of July/beginning of August 2017 for a 5 day solo safari. This trip was beyond my wildest dreams. I spent a lot of time researching many different options for tours and Allen was able to give me exactly what I was looking for in terms of cost and experience. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. Allen gave me all the details I needed and was very quick with answering any of my questions. Obama was the best guide ever!!! In Samburu (one night and one full day) I saw the Samburu 5 and 3 of the big 5. Lions, Elephants and Leopards. I also saw Cheetahs, Giraffes, Dik Dik, Hare, Eland and too many others to name. In Lake Nakuru (one full day) I saw the remaining 2 of the big 5. I saw a huge male Rhino (very rare) and lots of Buffalo. In Lake Naivasha, (one full day) I was able to see lots of hippos in the lake. At Hell's Gate (one full day) I saw the wonderful scenery at a slow pace and was able to take lots of photos and see all the herbivores that lived there. On arrival in Kenya, Allen went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He helped me get a Safaricom SIM card and helped me exchange $. On the road in between destinations, Obama showed me many wonderful places. I got to stop at the equator and I got to see the Great Rift Valley overlook. With, my other guide Allen (different than the manager Allen), he showed me a local market in Lake Nakuru, where I was able to buy traditional Kenyan products, like a Masai blanket and a nice traditional shirt. I can't say enough good things about Back of Africa. It was amazing! I highly recommend to everyone wanting a traditional experience in Kenya with a local small company for great quality and almost a family like experience to go with Back of Africa. I cannot wait to go back to Kenya with Back of Africa. They showed me how to fall in love with the country. Thank you for the best trip of my life!!!!:)

4-day budget safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru which me and my brother was super happy with!
5/5

Did a 4-day Mara and Lake Nakuru with this company and we were very satisified! The price was low which of course can be notised compared to the tours that would have been a few hundred dollars more expensive but it did not make any difference. Happily positive with the "tented" camp which is more like a hotel room with canvas walls. The food during the trip is absolutely decent, nothing more nothing less. The guides made the experience even better!

Experts, prepared and reliable
4/5

We booked this Safari after viewing other tour operators on safari bookings. For the entire period before the departure, Back to Africa was available for all our explanations.
Moreover, they were on time in every appointment respecting the travel program.
During the safari, we didn't miss anything, we were always safe on the move and the guide was very experienced and reliable.

For another similar experience in future, I would return to them.

Thanks for the experience.

A life adventure!
5/5

Me and my dad had the best time with Back of Africa Safari tours. A real adventure, with a great tour group and a hero of a tour guide/driver. He made the whole experience not just a bucket list moment but also a comedy show inter-disbursed with great knowledge of nature! I strongly urge anyone to give this a go as a simple must! Needless to say I will also be back in the hopefully near future!

Life changing experience.
5/5

For me everything worked nice and smooth, since the first day that I arrived in Nairobi, Allan was attentive and answered all my questions and doubts. The Safari itself was amazing, we managed to see a lot of animals including 4 of "the big five" and the incredible wildebeest and cebra migration. The drivers (I had two) were very friendly and gave explanations about animal behavior and other data. The camp also very good, the staff there also an amazing group of people. It definitely met my expectations.

Dream come true safari.
5/5

I contacted 4 companies in kenya and told them what we wanted. Only 1 came back with a price for exactly what we asked for. Alan from Back Of Africa Adventure was a pleasure to deal with. He always responded within minutes to my wasaps and emails and i can assure you i sent a lot of messages. The price for our 4 nights 5 days safari stunned me i never ever thought we could have got so much value for little money. We seen 4 out the big 5 but that was good for us as our guides done their upmost best. Seeing 2 leopard was the highlight. I now know we could afford another safari and if i am ever in Kenya again i will be in touch with Alan for sure. Did i mention our tents at the campsite were ensuite?
