Great Selous trip
They did not excellent job arranging a Selous trip for us. A key requirement was that we can book with PayPal which they supported. That was a big help.

Amazing experience!
We did a 4 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Back of Africa Adventure (Sandland tours in Tanzania). Allan, the manager is very competent. I talked with him and we arranged everything before the safari. During the safari everything was perfect; the guide (Estommy) was very friendly and very knowledable about the wildlife! We saw the big 5 and a lot of animals more!! It was amazing. The acommodation was perfect, above all the Katikati tented camp in Serengeti!Definetly, one of the best experiences in my life.

An amazing experience we will talk about for years
My husband and I booked our safari one day before leaving and Allan helped with the whole thing. He was very quick with responding and made us feel comfortable with our last minute plans. Our driver Martin was the BEST! We saw all the animals that they said we would, and more. I could not believe what a wonderful time we had!! I will definitely be recommending Back of Africa to all my friends heading to Kenya!

Spectacular safari in Masa Mara with great service!
Just finished a 4-day budget safari in Masai Mara and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Allan M. was very helpful and responsive throughout the booking and arrangement process, and our tour operator gave us the best experience possible over the four days, demonstrating expertise and experience during the game drives and providing substantial knowledge on the wildlife. I would highly recommend Back of Africa for a safari, especially for those traveling on a budget.

Always brilliant!
I have used this company for many safaris over many years, and have never been disappointed. Allan, who is the central guy for all communications is excellent and gives you different types of packages and prices. The attention to detail is excellent, as is the quality of the guide. Personable, very knowledgeable and excellent at spotting the wildlife! There are many companies out there but I will always recommend and use this company! Excellent value for money - you will not be disappointed!

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…
