Great tour operator, even greater tour guide. Elijah was the best!
We found Ozon Light after a lot of research on tour operators, as we wanted to plan a safari (our first) as part of our honeymoon. Overall, the tour operator, and more specifically Michael, was very good, helpful and prompt in his communication, and delivered a well curated 6-7 day safari plan for us, based on what we asked of him. Essentially, we were able to integrate all of Tanzania’s biggest and richest parks in that plan. All the rooms we picked among the alternatives provided to us, both camps and lodges, were more or less as described, with good to great facilities, service and, in most cases, food. Our only regret is one of the accommodations included in the package, for which we had very little info (and a lack of alternatives in Lake Natron, unfortunately), and which, to put mildly, was a disaster, from the (broken) tent we were put in, to the disturbing smell in the bathroom, to the 3 terrible meals that were provided to us during our stay. Luckily, we stayed there for a single day.
Special props need to be given to our tour guide, Elijah. He was just fantastic, from the moment he picked us up, until he left us at the airport. He was very well informed on the parks, animals, birds, historic sites across the range we crossed, always eager to respond to our questions, always positive and in a joking mood, always on time, and most importantly, a great driver - we felt safe throughout, and he made it possible for us to see the Big 5 multiple times (as well as the Ugly 5, and 3 out of the Beautiful 5; the other 2 were just not present in the parks we visited). So thank you, Elijah, for making this an unforgettable experience for us.
In short, would recommend Ozon Light Tours, and would definitely recommend Elijah as tour guide.

Highly Recommend Booking with Ozon Light Tours
Deus is great to work with! He’s literally available around the clock and has mastered the craft of great customer service. I came to Ozon Light Tours after nearly getting scammed by another agency. He was able to get all of my preferred accommodations booked in the high season.
The safari itself was amazing!! We had the pleasure of having Innocent and Godlisten as our tour guides. Innocent absolutely loves his job. He matched our excitement when we found hard to spot animals. We were able to see the Big Five because of his navigation!! Innocent is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—you can literally ask him anything. Godlisten was also a huge help on the trip and worked quickly with Innocent to navigate issues. He’s also full of fun facts about birds!
Overall, this team went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely honeymoon and communicated with all of our hotels to ensure top notch hospitality.
My only critique is for the itinerary. We booked an Ultra Luxury trip, but I wouldn’t say it was ‘ultra luxurious’. Time is the biggest luxury, and I felt like we did not utilize time well. I came to Deus with accommodation preferences, but I wish he suggested alternatives. The first hotel we stayed at was nearly two hours in the opposite direction from Ngorongoro, which we needed to drive through to get to the Serengeti the next day. We should have stayed in a hotel either close to or in Ngorongoro. Alternatively, we found out that there was an airport in the Serengeti but we flew into Arusha. Arusha is 3-4 hours from Ngorongoro. When I asked why the other airport wasn’t an option proposed, Deus stated cost. If I booked an ultra luxury trip and I’m staying at The Four Seasons, an additional few hundred dollars is a drop in the bucket. We also came during the migration of the wildebeest. That’s a phenomenon that we didn’t get to experience because we weren’t told nor given the option to add on an additional day to go out west to see it. When I asked to change our itinerary to see it, I was told that it was too far and needed accommodation out there. The Four Seasons offered same day tours out west. The possibility was there.
Depending on the season you decide to book, do research and give explicit feedback on the itinerary that they propose to you can make the most out of your trip. While we got to luckily see everything we wanted to see, we spent what felt like 60% of our time just commuting (literally lost a whole day).

Great organisation, tailored to what we wanted, and an amazing guide.
Amazing experience! We did a 7-day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central and Northern Serengeti and Lake Manyara, and had a great time from start to finish.
Our guide Dicklack was fantastic. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and thanks to him we saw all of the Big Five and so many other animals. He knows the parks and wildlife incredibly well and was always happy to explain what we were seeing.
One of our favourite moments was the Great Migration. Dicklack knew where the crossing was likely to happen and waited patiently in exactly the right spot. We were the first car there, and after a while all the other tour guides started following us! Definitely one of the highlights of the whole trip.
He was also a great driver, even on some pretty difficult roads, and we always felt safe with him.
The whole trip was really well organised too. Our booking agent Yohana did a great job putting together the itinerary, finding the accommodation and tailoring everything around what we wanted.
Really happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend them, especially Dicklack!

I highly recommend Ozon Light Tours for your trip to Tanzania. We are very satisfied and happy with all arrangements made from the airport pick up to all accommodations, meals, Arusha city tour and game drives. Special commendation to our driver-guide, Augustino who take real good care of us, kept us safe, accommodated all our requests, set up sunset celebration with wine and beer, patiently drove us around looking for the best spots to take pictures of animal sightings. He made our trip very memorable

An unforgettable safari with an amazing guide — worth every penny!
We spent five days on safari and were absolutely thrilled! During this time, we were lucky enough to witness the Great Migration and see an incredible number of animals — every day brought new and unforgettable experiences.
Nicholas was our guide throughout all five days, and we could not have been luckier. He is attentive, cheerful, and genuinely friendly, making you feel comfortable from the very first moment. It was clear that Nicholas truly wanted his guests to see as many animals as possible. He always made an effort to find the best locations and angles for watching the wildlife and taking photos.
We would also especially like to mention his stories. Nicholas shared many fascinating and surprising facts about the animals, turning the safari into much more than simply observing wildlife — it became a truly immersive journey into the incredible natural world of Tanzania.
We wholeheartedly recommend both this safari and Nicholas as a guide. These five days became one of the highlights of our entire trip, and the experience was worth every penny!

Our experience was truly wonderful from start to finish.
The organization by the agency was excellent, with everything running smoothly. They were very responsive before our trip, stayed in touch throughout the planning process, and were happy to adapt the itinerary to our wishes and preferences. We always felt well taken care of.
The biggest positive surprise, however, was our guide, Eliah.
From the very first day, he made us feel completely safe and comfortable. He is an outstanding driver, always calm and confident, and we knew we were in good hands no matter the road conditions. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we had hoped for, and thanks to his dedication, we had so many unforgettable wildlife encounters.
His knowledge is simply incredible. He was like a walking Wikipedia, able to answer every question we had about the animals, birds, plants, ecosystems, and Tanzania in general. Every game drive became an opportunity to learn something new.
Every morning the vehicle was spotless, we always arrived safely and on time, and he was happy to stop whenever we wanted to take photos, enjoy the scenery, or simply experience something special.
Beyond all of that, Eliah is genuinely one of the kindest, warmest, and friendliest people we have met. He is always smiling, easy to talk to, incredibly professional, and made every day enjoyable. We always felt that he had everything under control, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
If we ever return to Tanzania, we would absolutely want Eliah as our guide again.

Family of 4, Serangati+ Naguronguro Tarangirie. With the guide Alijah- was GREAT trip!
From planning and pricing and advices from Deus (ozon office) I knew it is the best choice.
And the 6 days on the Safari were amazing. Alijah took care of all of our needs, explained all in details, found the most exotics animals. All with a lot of knowledge, care and experience.
Ozon Light Tours is a highly professional, flexible, and reliable safari operator
One of the Best Travel Experiences of Our Lives
Our family of four recently completed a 10-day safari with Ozon Light Tours, and it was easily one of the best trips we have ever taken.
From the very beginning, Clinton provided excellent communication. He was always quick to respond, flexible when our flights changed, and made every transfer and accommodation arrangement effortless.
Our guide, Richard, deserves special recognition. He is highly knowledgeable about Tanzania's wildlife, national parks, birds, and ecosystems. More importantly, he has an incredible ability to locate animals and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for wildlife photography while respecting both the animals and other safari vehicles.
One of the highlights of our trip was witnessing the Great Migration crossing the Mara River. We also saw lions, cheetahs with cubs, serval, black rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many other incredible species.
The accommodations were excellent throughout the journey, especially the luxury camps in Serengeti, which allowed us to experience the sounds and atmosphere of the African wilderness while enjoying comfortable facilities.
This safari was far more than just seeing animals—it was an unforgettable experience of nature at its finest.
We would highly recommend Ozon Light Tours to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and well-organized safari company in Tanzania.
Thank you again to Clinton, Richard, and the entire Ozon team for making this dream trip a reality. 🌍🦁🐘🦏

Mind-blowing Serengeti wildlife encounters made extraordinary by an amazing guide!
Tanzania is truly mind-blowing!
I originally thought Kenya already had a ton of hippos, so when our guide and driver, Dicklack, mentioned taking us to a place with a 'strong perfume,' I was a bit skeptical about just how intense it would be. To my absolute surprise, we saw massive pods of hippos in the Serengeti—I counted at least 130 of them!
Our sharp-eyed guide even spotted a mongoose nearby and immediately drove us over for a closer look.
This trip was simply wonderful!
