The tour operator is strong in communication
The tour operator helped us figure out which tour was the one we wanted to book:)
Our guide was great. Taught us a lot about the animals and nature, cracked jokes and was happy to answer all our questions. We felt well prepared for the trip. The food was lovely.

Local experience with Borbo family
I recently had a really nice experience visiting Arusha with the Borbo family. Everything was well organized, and I’m grateful I got to experience the city and village like a local.
The 4-day safari through Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro was a definite highlight—amazing wildlife, stunning landscapes, and a knowledgeable guide.
What stood out most was the family atmosphere. The Borbo family made me feel welcome: I joined them for cooking, visited the Arusha market and city center, and toured an organic coffee farm. Each activity was interesting and not overly touristic.
As a solo traveler, I appreciated the balance of adventure, culture, and comfort. I’d happily recommend the Borbo family especially to small groups or couples visiting Arusha and looking for a local, family experience. Thanks Rebecca and Emmanuel!

Wisdom is a legend
Such a great tour and made even better by Wisdom! He went above and beyond for us to make our day unforgettable! Joined in with all our jokes, a great presence and showed us so many animals including the lions! Couldn’t recommend the tour or Wisdom any more highly

Excellent. Highly recommended.
I could not recommend Back of Africa more highly. Allan at Back of Africa designed a bespoke 4-night private safari for my husband and I, visiting Tsavo East & West, Taita Hills and Amboseli, booking us into the lodges of our choice, and working within our budget. Allan's planning was excellent, and all his communication with us was clear and timely both before and during our time in the parks. Every moment was extraordinary, each lodge unique and perfect in its own way, and every day exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful.
What made the whole experience so perfect though was our luck in having Mr. Kombo as our driver and guide. Request him!!! We could not have asked for better. The level of service he provided was amazing - Friendly, organized, full of knowledge, highly experienced, fun and professional. We were blown away. Honestly, one of the best travel experiences of my life.
