Excellent service from start to finish! Wonderful staff
5/5

What a wonderful experience! Nuhu and Winfrida from the office have been of a great help whilst planning our holiday to Tanzania and Zanzibar! They were very informative and planned everything to our expectations and beyond! They corresponded via emails with me in a very short time after requesting information. To top everything, they deployed Issa as our guide for the Safari experience and the two day town tour, which was exceptional! Issa was very kind to us, made sure we were comfortable and made his utmost to make our Safari experience an incredible one. By the end of our time in Tanzania he became our friend, not just our guide! I cannot not recommend them enough! Thank you Ozon Light Tours and Issa for making our holiday an unforgettable one!

Really helpful staff from start to finish.
5/5

It is a lifetime experience that we will cherish for the rest of our lives for sure. They were very helpful from start to finish. I cannot not mention the guide we had. ISSA is a great guide with a lot of experience. He makes the holiday especially the safari 10 times better ! He gets into detail about every animal you see and gets out of his way to make the client happy. We really recommend ISSA to anyone who is traveling to Tanzania with Ozone Light Tours.

The experience with tall masai was incredible. We wanted budget safari tour for 6 days and we got awesome experience, that was the same or better than other expensive safaris. We received authentic safari car with excellent and very skilled driver. Communication with tall masai was excellent. They wrote me every day how IT was going. They even helped me to buy a train ticket (which is nôt that easy for Non kenyans.

Impressive trip perfectly organized
5/5

We were travelling as a couple in March. Friends had recommendet My Kilimanjaro to us. Max advised us there and put together a seven-day migrationsafari. We saw a lot, including the Ndudu region and the Ngorongoro Crater. We did a walking safari in Tarangire National Park. We were allways led by Reggie, a great guide. He knew his way around perfectly, was able to answer all questions and allways tried to
show us new highlights.
The lodges were well chosen. The nights in the tents were impressive, when you could hear the lions roaring almost „on the doorstep“.
Although it was in the wilderness the tents were comfortably eqipped. The food was very good and varied. We were also axcellently supplied on the way with lunch boxes that were constantly being new put together by the lodges and with tea, coffee and water.
All in all, an unforgettable experience. We would travel with this operator again and again.

Amazing safari with Solomon.
Solomon is an excellent guide who will take care of every single detail to make sure you are having the best experience ever.
He is very patient and very knowledgeable about wild life and has a lot of experience
Plus he was flexible as we had to postpone our trip due to a last minute issue and he rearranged everything.
If you are looking for an exceptional Safari. Don't look any further.

We had such a great experience and our driver was amazing. We took a shuttle for the Panorama Route and they went out of their way to accommodate a last minute time change despite being on a tight schedule for the day. Thank you for your great service and safe transport!

Top notch concierge service
5/5

You’ll get your money’s worth and then some. Suricata safari went above and beyond to ensure we toured all the places we were likely to find game , provided a private chef who was with us throughout the four days and provided cooked meals ; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We had a fantastic time camping outdoors. Be sure to bring mosquito repellant for the last day of your tour.

A wonderful safari experience, the staff are pros and know what they are doing.
5/5

We loved our 6-day Botswana safari with Tony Mobile Safari so much, we honestly don't know how it could have been improved. Our driver, Jack, was so calm and chill, he read his surroundings and pointed out the animal footprints, trees that were rubbed or bent over or bark eaten by animals, and was so knowledgeable about his country and his surroundings. He was a wonderful guide, we soon learned to just trust his instinct and we would find the animals. He had a good repertoire with the other drivers and they would share info on what they had seen and where, so you felt as if you really weren't missing anything. He would work so hard all day and still be very patient and funny and nice, he was a joy to be around all day. Back at camp we had Bongo cooking all our meals for us including fresh baked bread (!!) and he would pack a hot thermos of water for coffee and tea while we were out on the road every day. We are established campers and it felt very indulgent to have someone else preparing all your meals. It was such a treat to roll into camp all dusty and everything was set up for you by Desho. He would have a fully zipped tent set with two cots, pillows and sleeping bags inside ready to go. The tent had a front shade structure attached with a small basin of hot water to wash your dirty face - what a nice touch! They also had a small table and chairs as well as a light for us to eat our meals. The back of the tent unzipped into a private, walled-off bathroom area with a pit toilet and camp shower, which would be ready to go with hot water for a shower. It felt like a luxury to have a toilet right there, it made middle of the night trips easy, peasy! Tony is part of a small group of operators that share camping areas within the park, so there was always plenty of shade around our tent, as well as the tents for our staff. They would have a small fire welcoming us back home each night, which was a great touch.

The night before our safari left Maun, we had drinks with a friend who lives in Botswana and supplies food to other tour operators. She was asking how much we paid for our safari and when we told her she was surprised and impressed. We felt we had a very good value before we started the safari, and afterwards felt all the more confident that we really couldn't have had a better time. Our three staff were all so pleasant and easy going, life at camp was relaxing and chill. Our days in the jeep were as comfy as possible. It had a canopy for shade, was super padded everywhere, had power outlets to charge cameras, and a large cooler to keep drinks cold. We felt all the necessities were well thought out and looked after.

I will say, however, that this experience is not for everyone. My husband and I are tent campers on the regular, we think having a cot to sleep on is fancy as we usually sleep on an air mattress. If you don't like sleeping in a tent then you still won't like it in Africa. There are bugs, there are animals right outside your tent so you cannot leave it until morning (which I think is exciting, having a lion prowling around on the other side of your canvas wall?), and you poop in a pit toilet right next to where you take a shower. If any of these things sound bad to you do yourself and the tour operators a favor and book a safari where you sleep in a hotel at night. We saw other guests on safari (thankfully not with our group) who were high maintenance and complaining. If you're very finicky this is probably not the right vacation for you.

A few tips: It takes a long, dusty, bumpy, jeep ride every day to get out to see the animals in their natural habitat. Be mindful of your underwear - lace looks nice but after a day of bumping around any lace or large seam will rub and annoy you, so wear comfy, flat seamed underwear. If you're sensitive to dust bring a face mask or bandana you can cover up with when needed. Absolutely bring a good headlamp, you will need it inside your tent. Don't overpack, bring one warm jacket and pants which you will absolutely need in the early morning and late night, but you can wear the same pair all week long. Not having large luggage helps inside the tent also as you can cram your stuff underneath the cot. They provided us a towel each, so we didn't need to bring our own (saves space). Be patient, sometimes we would drive for a while without seeing much, other times it was a bonanza of animals. Trust Jack or your driver to find them, they've done this many times and really are the experts, let them do what they do best.

You will see so many animals, up close, just relax and enjoy the scenery. Our safari was absolutely amazing.
