Amazing weekend safari
At first we had trouble finding a good safari company. Then we did some research and we found Focus In Africa with many stars and many good recommendations.
We contacted the company and we met with the people. The service is very good and very kind people.
They arranged everything for us, the interfee, food, a place to sleep and transport.
The safari was on a weekend in Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. We stayed overnight in a place on top of a mountain with a beautiful view of Lake Manyara. The place we stayed in had entertainment with local music.
We saw alot of animals and the nature was so beautiful.
Thank you for the safari

The itinerary was well organised and executed word for word, the giveaways,meant a lot to us.
The itinerary was settled after email correspondences, their quick responses and suggestions was invaluable. Entire hospitality team and guided game drives left indelible marks in our lives. We saw animals, fed giraffes and learnt cultures. Surprise gifts on departure meant a lot. Looking forward to reciprocating in my next visit.

Amazing 2 day trip to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro
We started by meeting Nelson, he explained what we could expect from the trip.
He was good to answer the questions we had.
Our safari guide Herman was good to spot the animals and told us many things about them.
We saw many animals like; girafs, lions, baboons, elephants(really close), rhinos, hippos, buffalos, flamingos and many more. We were lucky to come in the baby boom season so we saw many baby animals.
We overnight in some igloos and there were amazing entertaiment from locals.
Water, breakfeast, lunchbox and dinner was included in the price

Excellent service.
The tour was great, and ran soomethly because of the great service provided. Extremely efficient. The individuals who helped with the tour were very kind and willing to help at any moment. I would definitely recommend the use of this company, as I know I will be using it again when I go on tour.

The guide was fabulous!
Communication was good in emails. However I requested no beef and the first meals had beef. We were told we would have cots in the tents, and we did not. Toilet paper was hard to come by.
The cook was friendly and prepared good meals.
The guide - Saleh - made the trip phenomenal. His experience, his patience, and his willingness to search until we found what we were wanting to see made this a special trip. He knew where the animals would be and was able to predict accurately. We saw the big 5 plus plus plus. I would definitely want to have him as a guide again. I don't think there could be anyone better!

No scenery and I saw barely any wildlife. Dissapointing
Not very good, expected more from the reviews. Only saw hippos from a 7 day trip

Professional from start to finish.
I would like to thank Zippy and her team for organising the best memorable honey moon for my wife and I .We had a fabulous time in Arusha, Ngororongoro and Serengeti before flying to Zanzibar for our beach extension. Our guide was really knowledgeably ,prompt, patient and we were so lucky with wildlife we saw all the big five and we really enjoyed our Zanzibar retreat as both transfers were smooth and timely.

Life Changing Safari
My family and I had the most amazing trip to East Africa with Jim and his guides, Geoffrey, Jackson, and Edwin. Their group made is so easy to get from place to place. Their knowledge of the National Parks we visited and of the animals in the park was invaluable. We saw everything! I mean it! Lions every day, Cheetahs almost every day (which we were told was unusual), elephants, baby elephants, baby lions, baby zebras, baby pumbas. I could go on and on. The lodges they had us stay at were really amazing. I was expecting rusting lodges, but Jim had us set up in the most amazing places, with amazing views and easy access to the parks and animals.
My favorite day was in Sweetwater National Park, which is known for it's protection of the Rhinos. In the morning we watched a pride of lions finish eating a cape buffalo. Then in the afternoon we parked by the water hole and watched a herd of zebras come through, then a troop of elephants with babies (the best part!), then 6 white rhinos, and finally a group of wart hogs (pumbas) all use the same watering hole. It was the quintesencial Africa experiance and Geoffrey made it happen for us.
Our group as visited Rwanda to see the Mountain Gorillas. We got up close and personal with the gorillas in short walk. The walk we got was easy, but they assess your group and pick the right one for you. Our gorillas were very active so we were lucky to see them moving, eating, charging us and each other.
All that said, I wouldn't choose any other group for the tour. We also look forward to going with Jim on some of his other trips to Egypt and Antartica.
