It was a great experience. We got more then we expected. We all accomplished our goal in style.
It was all excellent and would definitely use UBON for all our future travel bookings.

Very well organized
We had an exceptional adventure planned with UBON Safari's and they handled it with such ease, we didn't have a single hiccup. Everything we asked for, we got with no questions. Mr Umang himself was even involved, checking on us along the way and updating our families when we didn't have phone service. Our safari was handled extremely hands-on but gave us enough room to have an amazing time. I will definitely use them in the future.

We could not imagine a better experience..
Their professionalism, their extensive knowledge of the places we visited, and their dedication with discretion throughout the journey to be informed about us, define Umang and Beena, Ubon Safari as the ideal travel agency to organize the perfect safari trip.

4 day safari
I would recommend Ubon safaris. The staff were in contact regularly to ensure I was comfortable every step of the way and went out of their way to ensure I had the best lodges, tour guide, 4 wheel drive and general service I could have (sourced locally via Sunny Safari).
Umang in particular was very helpful; he found me a safari that met my budget and ensured I visited the parks that had the most wildlife to see within the timeframe I had.

Great time at Ruaha National Park
I had the pleasure of working with UBON Safari Limited to plan a trip for 15 people to Tanzania this summer. We spent 3 days at Ruaha National Park and had a wonderful safari experience seeing many elephants, lions, baboons, and hippos. Ruaha is a large park but not crowded so you didn't feel like you were at Disneyland with hundreds of other people. The Ruaha River was beautiful and the animals were frequently at the river due to the dry season. We all thought the Ruaha River Lodge was delightful. We enjoyed the food, the banyas and watching/listening the animals on the river.

Best planners and executers along with hand holding for a memorable safari
Can't begin to say enough about the experience we have had with Ubon safari. From the minute we started planning the safari itinerary a few friends mentioned we should look to book with Ubon safari as they all have had such great experiences and I can't begin to thank my friends for their reference. We worked with Umang at Ubon(it was our much awaited African adventure as a family) and he certainly understood how much we needed this to be memorable and on his part did an excellent job and guided us, in fact, held my hand long distance along the way and it seemed so much easier than I had anticipated it would take to plan this. I had many requirements that my family had asked for and all along Umang said he understood them and made them happen. The minute we began our safari we knew we had done this right. Our tour guide Moses was so helpful and sweet right from the beginning and spoke English and Swahili so well. The best part of having him as our tour guide was the amount of years of experience he had in helping make the game drive so much fun. We had made a wish list of the wildlife we had hoped to see in Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater and we were so exited when we saw all and more than expected and at times it seemed so surreal and breath taking. All along Moses was patient, knowledgeable and fun to be as these were long days in the jeep and not once did we feel that we were not comfortable or bored it was incredible. In the end all I can say are the hotels were superior, our guide outstanding and the scenery breathtaking. Thank you Umang for making this a trip of a lifetime for us. We certainly plan to be back for more!

Amazing safari, we had the big five in Tanzania
My husband and I had a fantastic safari trip in Tanzania in June 2016 organized by Ubon Safari. Our driver was very good at english and showed great interest in nature. Imani knew a lot about the animals and he was also brilliant to drive the jeep.

Excellent safari experience in Ruaha NP, Tanzania
I have been on safari with UBON in June and had a perfect safari experience in Ruaha NP, Tanzania. We booked a two and a half weeks safari with UBON including flights from Dar es salaam into the Ruaha NP for 9 persons. Arriving in the park we had two very comfortable safari cars and two very friendly and nice drivers and guides waiting for us. The Ruaha River Camp chosen by UBON was fantastic with extraordinary views over the Great Ruaha River and a lot of wildlife around the camp. Within the three days in the park we saw a lot of wildlife, especially lots of elephants, giraffes, lions and a leopard just next to our cars which our drivers were searching for the whole afternoon. As one person of our group had turned 50 just a few days before departure UBON had organised a birthday cake as a surprise which was brought to us at the first dinner with a lot of singing and dancing and a lot of good feelings for us. I left the group on the fourth day when we arrived in Iringa to go to the south of the country. The rest of the group stayed in Iringa for two days visiting different sites with our guides and proceeded to Udzungwa NP afterwards. After three amazing days at Hondo Hondo Tented Camp they went to Dar to fly to Zanzibar for the last week. All accommodations we got were perfectly chosen and we were in contact with UBON during the whole trip, even though it was just to say that we were happy and enjoying our vacation in Tanzania.
It was not the first safari we have booked with UBON and I highly recommend everybody to book your safari with this highly professional tour operator. It´s just a good feeling if you can trust the people who are taking care of you in a foreign country which is not the case with all operators offering safaris in Tanzania.
Thanks a lot UBON in the name of all of us for this amazing weeks in Tanzania!

Smooth "sailing" safari
Our group of 10 had a personalized & smooth, efficient safari and vacation experience. Things went well with no hitches - very efficient & well planned out. The Ruaha River Lodge was wonderful along with the Utengule Coffee lodge. Beena took care of everything & there were no problems with flights, transport, or accommodations. Superb safari experience!
