We just returned from our incredible family trip to Tanzania. Back to Africa Safaris did a fantastic job of organizing everything, especially considering that COVID caused cancelations and changes. Alex Mulemba, the owner, was really responsive and great to work with. They are a locally owned company, which was important to us. The first part of our trip was a 6 day private safari to all the major sites (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengenti). The vehicle was really comfortable and everyone could see easily. Our sons loved the pop up roof. All of these places are incredibly beautiful but what made this extra special was how wonderful our guide was (ours was Gilead). Gilead was so experienced and knowledgeable. It is really important that you have an experienced guide and driver and this company will make sure of that! In Zanzibar, we were met at the airport by Abraham. He had so many interesting things to tell us on our way to the resort. Highly recommend the Safari Blue excursion. We spent our final days in Stone Town at the Tembo Hotel (probably my favorite hotel of the trip). We did a spice tour and prison island with Abraham (both excellent). Again, I cannot say enough about the quality of the guides. We found out during the trip that we would need a covid test in order to fly home and we could not have handled this without Abraham. So, if you're planning to go to Tanzania, do not hesitate to use Back to Africa Safaris. You will not be disappointed. …

We have just finished a 4 day 3 night private safari with Back to Africa and it was AMAZING!! Alex was brilliant at giving us information and a custom itinerary when we were organising this back in February and he kept in touch with us all the way until September with quick responses. Prices were very reasonable also. Our guide Ibrahim was outstanding... where do I start?! He was incredibly knowledgable about all of the wildlife including birds, the landscape, the culture and the country. He was the perfect balance of friendly and professional. He speaks perfect English and is a good driver. We did the safari during the covid pandemic and so there were hardly any other tourists/4x4s around which gave us front row seats at kills etc. 100% recommend this company and guide.…

We, a family of 3, had a wonderful safari with Back to Africa. Our team was Ibra who was the driver, and a very good one at that, getting us into Serengeti from Lake Natron after heavy rains showed his amazing skills as a driver. Ibra was also very good at spoting animals and knowledgeable. Obedi was our excellent cook. Both were very friendly and accommodating. We were away for 6 days and I would really recommend taking that extra time because it allows you get more deeply into the experience, and don’t need to hurry so much, when you spend the extra day in Serengeti. Our itinerary was Day 1 Tarangire Day 2 drive up to desolate Lake Natron through Rift Valley with splendid views of the escarpment and past the active volcano Ol Doinye Lengai, with close encounters with Masai culture. Day 3 Drive from Natron to Kleins gate (northern gate to Serengeti) and camp at Seronera (the whole drive from the gate is a game drive). Day 4 whole day in Serengeti Day 5 game drive morning then via Nabi hill (the migration was mind blowing) and Olduvai to Ngorongoro camp. Day 6 Ngorongoro crater game drive. It was an amazing experience that I can not recommend enough. Alex who runs the behind the scene operations at Back to Africa was very quick to answer all queries and flexible. Highly recommend …
