best experience of our lives
Ubon safari made our trip possible! We contacted many safari companies to compare all of our options and with Ubon we found the best option in terms of price, luxury, and itinerary. Everything was great!!

Thoroughly planned & professional service
A sincere thanks to Ubon safari (Beena & Umang) for the throughly well planned safari experience for us. The entire experience right from landing to flying back has been exceptional without any glitches. All the properties suggested have been fab, the guide service during safari was gold standard. A truly memorable first Tanzania experience for us that has left us wanting for more. And can't wait to plan another trip soon. Thanks again.

Personalised and Professional Service
Thank you Umang and Beena for the wonderful trip you have coordinated for us. It has been a pleasure right from the start of the selection process down to our last day which we were sad about our trip ending, leaving the amazing Serengiti and the lovely properties you suggested to us. All of us have had a wonderful time here and will have memories forever. We will be posting the images of some astonishingly breathtaking pictures which we have taken during the Safaris and be rest assured we will also be your ambassadors spreading the word around. Thank you once again and hope to plan another safari soon.

An amazing experience, a personal service that met every expectation , from the beach to the bush !
I chose to organise my trip to Tanzania through Ubon Safaris, after being recommended to them by a friend.
I was not disappointed. Directors Umang and Beena have a very hands on approach in creating an itinerary for your holiday using their wealth of experience of what the country has to offer.
I wanted to relax for a week before going on safari so Umang suggested a visit to Zanzibar which was amazing. I was met by someone at the airport and taken to a beautiful hotel in the centre of historic Stonetown , spending 2 days exploring this fastinating town before spending the rest of the week at a quiet beach retreat in the north of the Island. I was then ready for what the second part of my trip had in store.
Umang suggested , that as I had been on two safaris before that I found to be a little impersonal and over crowded , we should head to the Ruaha National Park and stay at Tandala Tented camp at the edge of the park. It was a revelation , since I think in all the game drives we did we only came across a couple of other vehicles a day , and our driver and guide knew exactly how to make the most of each days adventure.
Plenty of lions , leopards, cheetahs , elephants , hippos , and a ringside seat watching two female lionesses stalk and bring down a buffalo. Not to mention the biggest python I have ever seen, and that was just in one day !
The camp at Tandala was beautifully equipped and the food and the hosting from Dionysia and John was first class. We were able to watch dozens of elephants come into the camp to drink at the waterhole as we ate dinner. A glorious location, a brilliant holiday and and experience I won't forget in a hurry.
So if you are looking to visit this part of the world , give Umang and Beena a call and they can talk you through exactly how to get the best out of your holiday for the budget you have. Umang even picked me up from the airport and made the effort to make sure that every detail was covered. This is not just a business to them , they love showing other people the heart and soul of Africa that continues to captivate them both.

Ruaha national park, Tanzania
We had a great time out there in Ruaha national park. The game drives were absolutely amazing and the Tandala Camp awesome - especially the tents, the delicious food, the water hole and the gorgeous hosts.

An exceptional and reasonably priced safari experience
My son and I had an exceptional safari, which was frankly much more fun and interesting than I expected. Over six days and five nights, Tarangire--Serengeti--Ngorongoro provided many memorable sights and exceptional wildlife. We had our own guide, and were surprised that there were relatively few other guests at most of the lodges and camps (which were uniformly excellent). Internet connectivity was good at the resorts, but of course not available at the tented camp. Although it was technically the start of the rainy season, we did not have any rain. Highlights included observing the birth of a hippo, sighting three cheetahs and also a mother leopard and her cubs, watching two lions attack a herd of cape buffalo, seeing six rhinos at Ngorongoro (including two who crossed just in front of our Land Rover), and driving through the middle of the Great Migration and thousands of wildebeest. Umang was very reachable, and our guide Moses was excellent. We highly recommend UBonsafari.

Amazing Affordable Luxury Safari!
There is plenty to say about Ubon Safari. They absolutely shine on service and execution and most importantly price. Let me give you a run down. A knowledgeable guide/driver will be waiting for you at the airport in our case it was Kilimanjaro. We did the Lake Manyara/Serengeti/Ngorogoro crater 3 night /4 days all at the Serena Lodges(highly recommended) and we opted for the private jeep(highly recommended). Our guides name was Phillip, he was great and knew the terrain well with over 10 years of experience. Its very important to discuss your desires with him right out of the gates so he can deliver the right safari. We wanted to see all the big animals or as they as they say the big 5. Be prepared to be tossed around as the roads can be bumpy, it is a safari after all. You will encounter an array of animals and majestic landscapes that times out shine the animals. My advice is get up early of possible wear very comfortable clothing that fits loose and have your gourmet breakfast and head out into the wild. You will have box lunches(might want to let them know what you like to eat) on the road and be at your next luxury accommodations by 5-6 pm to relax and unwind.
The Serena Lodges(free wifi)are they way to go if possible(the views are amazing!) The service level is very high and the food is top notch. Ubon will call or email you to make sure your trip is excellent and any issues are resolved. In our case it was seamless and perfect. I really feel you do not have to wait to experience a luxury safari. We are very happy we went and we will be booking another one in the near future. Ubon will make it work for anyone. Lastly animals are unpredictable be patient and it will happen. Hakuna Matata- Don't worry, be happy!
makes your dreams come true. The service from booking till the end of safari was good
Awesome service always kept in touch thanks to umang u r a champ
