The Most amazing safari ever
5/5

Amazing safari in Maasai mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We had booked our 7 days safari with Back Of Africa Adventure about a year in advance and they took care of everything for us. Allison was always there to help us plan out our safari because our dates were not flexible, reaching Back Of Africa Adventure by email, telephone or skype was very simple and the staffs are really helpful.

Our port of arrival and departure was Nairobi airport in Kenya and Back Of Africa Adventure were so kind to arrange for our transportation to the national parks and our safari guide Gordon was a careful driver guide who understands the African roads very well.
We visited Maasai mara, Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro and Lake Manyara all the Sopa Lodges booked and suggested by our contact person Ms. Allison were exclusive and gorgeous hotels, with wifi services.

Gordon, our tour guide was very keen on our experience within the Serengeti and was well informed about the animals, plants, and birds and very enthusiastic to show us the beauty of the plains of Africa.

After 7days of an unforgettable experience, I must say that Back Of Africa Adventure left us with a very good taste of Kenya and Tanzania and with an appetite for coming back to the maasais mara , Serengeti and Ngorongoro for another nourishing adventure.

I recommend Back Of Africa Adventure to anyone wanting to visit Kenaya and Tanzania.

Dear Ivan,
How are you doing both doing today, How was your flight back home?
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to both of you for the very active support in business and for choosing my company Back Of Africa Adventure ltd to organize a trip to you and your family in the past few weeks to masai mara game reserve. Indeed it was an honor.
It brings me great pride (and motivation) after having met both of you prior and before the commencement of the trip and above all after the completion of your 4 days 3 nights trip with us.
It brings joy to my heart to see a smiling faces of my satisfied clientele towards my services and any time I hear from a satisfied customer... I grin. This is entirely due to our great team working relationship with my employees and valued customers like you and your family, which I am so thankful.
I beg to add, much compliments to you and your entire family for the prompt payments and quick telephone / mail communications that made our work so easy when it comes to booking your maasai mara accommodations in good time over a festive season (December Holidays).
Your feedback on this platform is so informed and helpful as it has helped me grow as an overall person in the company and also to many across the globe. Thank you very much.
The Chair lady and Board Members of Back Of Africa Adventure have also asked me to pass on their sincere appreciation for the privilege you both gave us to be your ground tour operator here in Kenya (Nairobi) of which cannot just go un noticed.
Again, thanks so much for your enthusiastic support to us. I have no doubt that it would not have been the success that it was without contributions of both of you as a family and I wish you all the best and a prosperous joyful year 2016.
Please keep in touch, and drop in and visit us whenever you are in Kenya more so i'm looking forward to working with both of you today and tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Allan
Back Of Africa Adventure ltd

5/5

We hold a UK passport, though we are under internship here in Kenya for the next 3 months. there after we shall be flying back to UK for our further studies.
As a concerned traveler , i thought it wise to share with the whole world via this reputable site on my safari experience over the past festive. We had booked a 7 days 6 nights Exclusive trip for us ( 3 persons) + Balloon Safari with Back Of Africa Adventure, - Amboseli ( 2 Nights - Amboseli serena), Lake Nakuru 1 nights ( Sarova Lion Hill), Masai Mara 3 nights ( Sarova Mara camp). Must say very flexible, Very helpful and Efficient, Thank you Allan. Also a very big thank you to Benson who drive us, guide us to all park and show all possible Animal Including Lion, Cheetah, Leopard, Rhino, giraffe and off course all others. Complete trip was well planned and executed. Benson really took us to some places where normally people don't visit and expect any animal but we saw many things because of him.
Our contact person Allan, was very polite and kept his promises as per our mail conversations, no hitches but great value for money safari.
Thank you once again and we will go back to Masai in future with Back Of Africa Adventure,
Thanks.

Great Selous trip
5/5

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.

Unforgettable Safari trip!
5/5

As I was travelling alone, I wanted to join a group tour, but matching the date was not easy. It was even hard to arrange my own tour as the response of the tour company was slow and not helpful. However, Allan was so prompt to respond that I could arrange the trip much much easier. The tour program was also substantial. My tour guide Kennedy and Freadrick were kind and passionate. They tried to find the animals as much as possible. They also had good knowledge about the animals and it was really helpful. It was an amazing experience. I should come back with my friends next time. Thank you very much for your effort!

Great budget experience!
5/5

Had a great time and saw everything but the rhino. Ziggy, our guide, was great, and the whole thing went off without a hitch. If you're looking for a great safari experience on a budget, this is it. Just be careful if you go during rainy season as (at least when I went) the tents weren't waterproof.

Awesome experience!
5/5

We did the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli safari through Back of Africa in September ‘2016 when our daughter was doing a fellowship in Kenya. Our contact person was Alan who organized the tour for us and George was our tour guide. The tour was very well organized and we found George to be a very knowledgeable, personable and friendly tour guide. It exceeded all our expectations and we really enjoyed it and got to see the big 5 + a lot of other animals. Our request for vegetarian food was well accommodated!

Had an amazing safari experience :). Back of Africa (Allan in particular) were very well organised.
5/5

The organisation leading up to the safari was excellent. Allan was very efficient answering my many logistic questions via email.

The safari itself was amazing!! Had such a good experience on both safari trips (Masai Mara and Lake Manyara/Tarangire Park).

Would definitely recommend Back of Africa for those on a budget :)

Highly professional organizing of an unforgetable 7 day Masai Mara, Serengeti & more adventure
5/5

We booked a 7 day safari with Allan from Back of Africa Adventure for January 2018 on short notice. During planning he was very flexible in his offering and responded to all of our requests within few hours. He gave as a very detailed description of the safari in advance which was customized to our needs. Payment of deposit through wire was easy to handle as well as the final payment when we started the safari. The guides he hired were very knowledgeable, flexible, warm-hearted and open people and we spent great days with them and learned tremendously much not just about the wildlife but also about the people of Kenya and Tanzania. The standard of the accommodation was above our expectations and convenience was assured throughout our trip. In terms of accommodation, the highlight for us was the wildlife experience in the tended camps inside the Serengeti. Allan kept in touch with us during the safari and made sure everything worked out. Definitely, Back of Africa Adventure is a tour operator to recommend.

It was a fantastic 5 days, a truly memorable experience, highly recommended.
5/5

I have just returned from a trip to Kenya, which I did on my own. I booked all the flights and accommodation in Nairobi and Mombasa myself. After extensive research into safari tour operators online, I came across Back of Africa Adventure Ltd. I was not disappointed. I dealt with Allan by e-mail and he responded very quickly to all my queries regarding the 5 day safari that they offered which covered the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboselli. The trip was beyond all expectations. My driver, Obama, had 20 years' experience and was extremely professional throughout the trip. I felt very safe with him. He was determined for me to see 'the big 5' which I did, and so much more. I also booked my sightseeing tours in Nairobi through Back of Africa Adventure Ltd going to the elephant orphanage, giraffe centre and the Karen Blixen Museum.
