Amazing
5/5

The trip was breath taking. The service was excellent, food delicious, and you get a lot for your money especially if you travel witha group together. My driver went so far for my to see everything, and it felt like they enjoyed you having the best time. I recommend this to all my friends, and I will definitely be back, using Back to Africa Adventure.

One of my best trips in life!
5/5

The trip organized by Allan was amazing! We went to the Masai Mara (Kenya) Serengeti (Tanzania) , and Ngorongoro s Crater, and Biwindi’s Impenetrable Park (Uganda, and Gorilla Trek and amazing lake lodge). Our lodges were amazing, glamping style, great food, and amazing natural surroundings. We had the best Guides, Bohr, Agustine, and Leo. We were a party of two and had the jeep to our selves the whole trip. Such a memorable trip! Totally worth while and life changing :)

Responsive Tour Operator
5/5

Everything on our tour met or exceeded our expectations. Our tour was very enjoyable and we felt safe and well-cared for by our guide, lodge staff, and tour operator. Allen was very responsive to any concerns that we had.

Always brilliant!
5/5

I have used this company for many safaris over many years, and have never been disappointed. Allan, who is the central guy for all communications is excellent and gives you different types of packages and prices. The attention to detail is excellent, as is the quality of the guide. Personable, very knowledgeable and excellent at spotting the wildlife! There are many companies out there but I will always recommend and use this company! Excellent value for money - you will not be disappointed!

Amazing experience!
5/5

We did a 4 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Back of Africa Adventure (Sandland tours in Tanzania). Allan, the manager is very competent. I talked with him and we arranged everything before the safari. During the safari everything was perfect; the guide (Estommy) was very friendly and very knowledable about the wildlife! We saw the big 5 and a lot of animals more!! It was amazing. The acommodation was perfect, above all the Katikati tented camp in Serengeti!Definetly, one of the best experiences in my life.

Great Experience!
4/5

We went on the 6-day tour of Northern Tanzania, which was incredible! Back of Africa had everything sorted out and were a great help in the booking-process. The only thing I would recommend is taking a shorter trip than 6 days as it is a long safari, but especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro were amazing and probably the most beautiful places I have ever visited! If I had to do it again I would definitely recommend the camping safari with Back of Africa as you really get to experience the nature up close, but 3-4 days is enough!

Wonderful 5 days safari in Tanzania, professional and knowledgeable staff, good food&accommodation!
5/5

They went above and beyond to make the safari trip unforgettable experience. Allan was really quick to respond, at any hour, giving us important tips and support on how to get to the safari starting point from Kampala in Uganda to Arusha in Tanzania. They made us feel welcomed in both their offices in Nairobi, through Allan and Arusha, through Abraham, who was also helpful in organizing an extra day for us in the safari. As for the safari itself, we had Max as guide and Yusuf as chef. Max was really knowledgeable about all the places we visited, animals, people, local culture. As we were particularly interested in the Maasai way of living, he was more than pleased to give us extra information about them. He knew a lot about the savanna flora and fauna, and we especially liked the peculiar details specific to each animal, never a dull moment on the trip. Max made all efforts to be sure we'll see the Big 5, and we encountered them all, many times. As for Yusuf, he cooked delicious food, in the morning, for lunch and dinner. We especially liked the three course dinner, it was every time different, and the pancakes for breakfast. They both made a good team and they even organized a surprise for one of us who had his birthday during the safari trip, a moment to remember! All that, plus reliable car, good accommodation, as they provided all that was initially promised and even more, made an excellent safari trip. We want to also thank them for being flexible in setting up the schedule for the safari trip, especially for the last day, when we needed to be at the airport at a specific time. Will definitely recommend them!

Allan for Safari hero!
5/5

I write this review some weeks after our wonderful trip to Masai Mara with Back Of Africa Adventure. We had some time to digest our overwhelming experiences in Masai Mara, and although we have seen many other national parks and game reserves in the meantime, I still appreciate our experience in Masai Mara a lot. We arranged the tour in Nairobi the day after we arrived in Tanzania with our incredibly helpful and trustable tour organizer Allan Milambo. I have to admit, it took us some time and effort to look for a decent tour with a democratic pricing we trusted. However, finding a company like Allan's, makes up for this little adventure. Regarding the tour: everything was perfectly arranged and according to expectations (we did the standard three-day package). The guides were well informed, the travel company was great, the food was good (not as good in the Tanzania parks though). There existed a charming collaboration between the guides of other companies (an ‘if one car stuck, everybody stuck mentality’). Accommodations were perfect. On the way back to Nairobi, I forgot my powerbank, phone charger and electricity converter during one of the stops. I contacted Allan, who did everything to get me back these items. He could only recover the phone charger and electricity converter but compensated me in cash for the powerbank. An extremely warm sign of hospitality and craftsmanship. We would travel again with Back Of Africa Adventure. Good luck Allan!

One life experience!
5/5

My first time in Africa has been amazing, and for sure the safari was the best part!
Everything was perfect, Allan has been super helpful, clear and precise, starting with our pick up at Kilimanjaro airport.
We did 4 days 3 nights low budget safari in Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater. We have seen 4 of the big 5 and many more animals.
Food was good and always more than enough, camping sites good, car quite comfortable considering the roads' conditions.
Unforgettable holiday!

Fantastic first Safarai experience!
5/5

I've just returned from my first trip to Kenya and Africa.
Before I left I was, maybe unjustifiably, wary of many bookings and reservations we had made... thankfully there was absolutely no need.

Allan provided a very quick response to my request on Safarai bookings and followed with a detailed itinerary. He was also very quick to reply to any questions I had regarding the planned trip.
Allan and Obama (our soon to be driver and friend) arrived to meet us at the hotel before we set off. From there everything ran smoothly and was well organised. We chose the rainy season, or more accurately, the rainy season was when we could travel to Kenya. Therefore certain detours and alternate routes had to be taken. Obama was a safe and reliable driver who always chose the best route for our overall gain even if it meant a slightly longer route... we got there without incident or breakdown when other drivers seemed to encounter many problems.
Obama himself was an excellent driver and guide. He provided lots of information on wildlife, culture, local politics and even some Swahili lessons. We all got on great and he made it feel more like a group adventure rather then a generic tour.
I would highly recommend Obama and Back of Africa Adventure Ltd if you are considering a Safarai in Kenya.
