Great Experience for our Budget
5/5

In the lead up to our 5-day safari with Back of Africa Adventure, Allan was very helpful in getting the logistics and planning organized for our trip. He was prompt with his responses, and made our preparation an easy process. One thing that we did not expect when organizing this trip for our group of 4 was that we would be sharing our experience with others who had booked budget Serengeti tours as well, but this only really enhanced the experience. Everyone, from our guide, Simon, to our cook, Mr. Delicious, to our fellow tourists made the experience great. There were a couple times where there would be lulls in the trip (an hour or more) due to arranging permits for the parks, but I don't know how much the company is at fault for this or if it's the park's poor communications infrastructure. Overall, the 5-day trip we took was one of my favourite experiences I've had across 4 continents of travelling, and would highly recommend this if you're looking to avoid spending an arm and a leg. Camping in the Serengeti and getting to hear the hyenas was so cool!

Great option for low cost safari
5/5

Allan at Back of Africa arranged my entire trip and took care of all of the details. The transportation and accommodation were just as described and I was very pleased. There was a slight mix up on the last part of the safari that was out of Allan's control. He was very responsive when I notified him and he made it right immediately. I would give Back of Africa my highest recommendation.

Great experience
5/5

We had a great experience with Back to Africa. The tour met all our expectations. Everything matched the offer. Allan helped us with all our questions. The guide (Kepha) was very nice, hardworking, and he did a big effort to find all the animals. We enjoyed very much all the visit in the parks with him. The food was also very good,Yusufu, the cook, was a very good one. I really recommend it.

Amazing Kenyan Adventure!!!
5/5

I would like to thank Allen for a trip of a lifetime to Kenya! I traveled at the end of July/beginning of August 2017 for a 5 day solo safari. This trip was beyond my wildest dreams. I spent a lot of time researching many different options for tours and Allen was able to give me exactly what I was looking for in terms of cost and experience. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. Allen gave me all the details I needed and was very quick with answering any of my questions. Obama was the best guide ever!!! In Samburu (one night and one full day) I saw the Samburu 5 and 3 of the big 5. Lions, Elephants and Leopards. I also saw Cheetahs, Giraffes, Dik Dik, Hare, Eland and too many others to name. In Lake Nakuru (one full day) I saw the remaining 2 of the big 5. I saw a huge male Rhino (very rare) and lots of Buffalo. In Lake Naivasha, (one full day) I was able to see lots of hippos in the lake. At Hell's Gate (one full day) I saw the wonderful scenery at a slow pace and was able to take lots of photos and see all the herbivores that lived there. On arrival in Kenya, Allen went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He helped me get a Safaricom SIM card and helped me exchange $. On the road in between destinations, Obama showed me many wonderful places. I got to stop at the equator and I got to see the Great Rift Valley overlook. With, my other guide Allen (different than the manager Allen), he showed me a local market in Lake Nakuru, where I was able to buy traditional Kenyan products, like a Masai blanket and a nice traditional shirt. I can't say enough good things about Back of Africa. It was amazing! I highly recommend to everyone wanting a traditional experience in Kenya with a local small company for great quality and almost a family like experience to go with Back of Africa. I cannot wait to go back to Kenya with Back of Africa. They showed me how to fall in love with the country. Thank you for the best trip of my life!!!!:)

4-day budget safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru which me and my brother was super happy with!
5/5

Did a 4-day Mara and Lake Nakuru with this company and we were very satisified! The price was low which of course can be notised compared to the tours that would have been a few hundred dollars more expensive but it did not make any difference. Happily positive with the "tented" camp which is more like a hotel room with canvas walls. The food during the trip is absolutely decent, nothing more nothing less. The guides made the experience even better!

Experts, prepared and reliable
4/5

We booked this Safari after viewing other tour operators on safari bookings. For the entire period before the departure, Back to Africa was available for all our explanations.
Moreover, they were on time in every appointment respecting the travel program.
During the safari, we didn't miss anything, we were always safe on the move and the guide was very experienced and reliable.

For another similar experience in future, I would return to them.

Thanks for the experience.
