Amazing experience with going green
We had an amazing experience with going green safari Lenny organised everything for us for a stress free trip. We were picked up and driven to the park, pillows and blankets are provided which is a nice touch as it was a long journey. Our guides in the park were excellent and very knowledgeable, we were lucky enough to see a leopard, lions, elephants, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, gazelle, monkeys, baboons, wilder beasts, crocs, hippos and many more. Lunch, dinner and breakfast were provided all were excellent with lots of choice, we stayed over for 1 night and Lenny organised lovely accommodation very clean and nice big beds and air con. Would recommend to anyone looking to do safari in Tanzania. Amazing

Look Elsewhere
My husband and I just completed a 6 day safari through Kenya from Nairobi to Mombasa with drives through Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and a sanctuary bordering Tsavo West. We advise you stay away. When we booked the tour, our itinerary listed two game drives through Tsavo West, Tsavo was a bucket list park for both of us, so we were really excited to explore this historical place. Unfortunately on the days of Tsavo, our guide gave us the plan and we were only going to be doing game drives through a resort sanctuary, not through the national park. We felt the company completely misled us about the itinerary and what we thought paid for. Once we expressed our frustration, they told us we were now too far from the actual national park entrance to have any game drives there. This was all after being deceived a couple of days prior about the entrance fee and cost of visiting Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island. Hyrax tried to charge my husband and I $150 USD for this short, optional excursion. We told Hyrax they were overcharging and the entrance to the island wasn’t that much - we checked Crescent Island’s official website which openly lists the price, but we were told by Hyrax that they were being honest with the prices. Once we got to the lake, we took matters into our own hands with what the boat ride and entrance fee actually costs and of course - Hyrax was grossly overcharging us along with the boat company. When we brought this to their attention, they feigned ignorance to the prices or knowledge about the island’s website and listed prices. On our way out of Voi to Mombasa, we discovered they overcharged again for the train ride. They told us they charged us $5 per ticket but the tickets only costs 290KSh (About $2). We were ultimately quite disappointed and frustrated but tried our best to enjoy the animals anyways. Tourists anticipate being overcharged but not disrespected so thoroughly with an apparent professional safari. Look elsewhere.

Very nice and considerate
We had a great experience with Back of Africa Adventure tours. Our guide Mr. Hudson is a great guide and a lovely person. We had so much fun with him during the whole tour, starting from Amboseli until Masai. Hudson was very considerate of our needs and showed us the best things in all the reserves. We loved the whole experience with Back of Africa Adventures. Highly recommend to all wildlife enthusiasts

Family Safari Adventure
We had the pleasure to enjoy a 7 day long safari to the hot spots of Eastern Africa‘s wildlife. The tour organizer in this case was Kilipath. They are operating with guides and chefs ( cook) as we decided to go on a shared safari. We highly recommend Peter as the best driver and his lovely chef de cuisine David. David is the world class cook. We enjoyed fantastic fresh meals three times a day along the safari. The only part I would like to mention as a consideration in case you choose the budget package as we did, the Arusha Inn Hotel is a place I would not recommend to stay.

This is the best company to travel with for safari in Tanzania
We went with Ozon light on a 4-day, 3-night safari through Lake Manyara and Serengeti National Parks and Ngorongoro Wildlife Preserve because they appeared to present the best package.
As soon as we began our safari planning, we realized that this company is very customer-friendly and they worked with us for several months to arrange the tour for us.
The guide and driver, Frank, was absolutely phenomenal. He is superbly trained and is blessed with eagle eyes.
He could spot animals from a mile away and that is no exaggeration.
We were amazed at how he covered the many unmarked and unpaved trails in the 3 areas we covered. He was always looking for the Big-5 in their natural environment and provided us details about their habitat and habits as we drove through the parks. The best part of his work was that he was in constant radio contact with other drivers / guides so that he could rapidly go where large animals had been spotted.

Unforgettable experience
We went on a 6 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara with guide/driver Stanley. He is an expert driver and very good company, with also a good radar of when to provide information and when to Just let you enjoy the moment. The car was super, routes perfect and hotels better than expected, with Kenzan wildcamp as absolute best.

Nice experience!
The tour was really nice and fun, we saw a lot of animals and nature. Dave our tourguide explained us a lot about everything. The timeshedule often didn‘t work out, so it was a bit stressful sometimes. Also we did not get a real instruction about what happens and what we should do exactly. Our accomondations were very beautiful.
Thank you for the tour!

Amazing 6 day safari
Jocky responded to my emails immediately, which is why I decided to book my safari with them. It was a last minute booking and they were very accommodating. I have food restrictions and they made sure I had lots of food options.
Our guide, Joseph, was really nice and explained everything to us. He made sure we had great views, had time for photos, and he had answers for almost all of our many questions. Thank you, Joseph. It was an amazing experience. I appreciate everything you did for our group!
