Tour operator did not consider my interests and what I wanted to see.
The director of operations for this tour company (Safaricare International) inserted himself into my trip instead of providing a knowledgeable guide. While we MOSTLY followed the proposed itinerary; we did no birding along the way to various destinations as described. The director of operations claimed he did not know I was interested in birding. That was a false statement. On many occasions I asked the driver to stop so I could take a photo of a bird or other wildlife. I was often told "we'll see that tomorrow" or statements such as "that bird is too small". On other occasions he was driving so fast that if he did stop it was meters away from the bird/animal or we were consumed by a cloud of dust. The director of operations did not correct this behavior. When I confronted the director of operations about why he was along on my safari he indicated that he was there on business to check out the lodges and some of the tours. He is a marketing professional and not a skilled guide. That was not what I paid for. Later he claimed it was for my safety (I travelled solo). Neither situation warrants not having a skilled guide as promised.
Lastly, I will say I would have rated this company as POOR (2 stars) since most of my itinerary was followed, but the fact that the director of operations purchased bananas for the sole purpose of feeding the baboons along the road in Kibale National Park makes this company a 1 star (which is still too high). He and the driver tossed the bananas one by one out the window. Driver would speed up, so the baboons gave chase, then tossed more bananas. To any responsible eco-tourist this action should cause alarm. This is not an organization that is interested in good stewardship, sustainability or the promoting of eco-tourism in Africa. Would NOT recommend.

Reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible - highly recommended!
My son and I travelled to Lalibela in the middle of February, 2024. Daniel was exceptional - he's very knowledgeable, friendly, and most of appreciated of all was very flexible. Over two days we visited all the churches, the cave monastery, and the mountain church. For those worried about safety, we felt 100% safe 100% of the time. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience!
My wife and I did a private tour of Tanzania (7 nights) and Uganda (4 nights). What an incredible experience! Stacy and her team planned a fantastic trip to see the great migration in Tanzania combined with gorilla and chimp tracking in Uganda. Our guide in Tanzania, Msangi, was the best. He was so thoughtful and knowledgeable that he made the trip for us. We were so lucky to have the migration pass right next to our camp in the Serengeti. And having a male lion roaring right outside your tent really gives you a perspective on life. Spending an hour with a chimp company one day and a gorilla family another was amazing. The African massage…bumpy roads…make you earn the experience, but it’s worth it.

Excellent Safari Company and Guide
Ozon Light Tours was great to work with! They were very accommodating and booked us in numerous different accommodations from tent camps to lodges. The variety was part of the adventure we enjoyed on our safari. Each place was unique and fun. Their staff was helpful and friendly, the food was fine, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Our guide, Issa, was great! He was knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent driver. He went out of his way to help us see lots of animals, and his years of experience were a great asset. I would highly recommend Ozon Light Tours for their quality of service and price.

Our guide was Robi, the most sensitive guide towards his guests I have ever met!
Many thanks Lenchada for a wonderful 6day unforgettable Safari

Excellent
The safari tour was well planned and organized. As for the cost of the tour package which included accomodation and meals it was reasonable and provided good value for money. The driver/ tour guide - Kikitu provided exceptional service, excellent driving skills and he even shared his knowledge about the area and wildlife to us.And he made sure that we were able to see various animals in their natural habitat. Overall, it was such an amazing and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this tour agency specially Kikitu as a driver and tour guide

You are in good hands with Migration Venture Africa!
I have no other experiences with tourism in Africa in general, nor Tanzania in particular but our travels, guided by Migration Venture Africa, was an unquestioned success. Amos, the manager/owner and his staff of drivers/guides provided a fabulous, tailer-made itinerary for our group. We had unusual objectives including a home stay in the southern highlands around Iringa as well as more conventional lodge and safaris activities in the northern highlands out of Arusha. The logistics and support for these two distinct components of our group's travels were accommodated by flexible itineraries and nimble reaction to unexpected complications. We got to know our main contacts with Migration, our guides Noeli and Denis in the north, very well and I appreciated their high spirits and expertise during both cultural and more typical safaris components of our journey. Both of these talented young men brought a charming and professional atmosphere along with skillful expertise to our vigorous daily activities. All of the Migration Venture guides who helped us with our journey were committed to the enhancement of our experiences while maintaining a constant awareness of potential hazards. Half of our group will not forget the assault by a rouge elephant and the intrepid skill of our guide in avoiding what could have been a very bad situation! Our guides were all a big part of my cherished memories of this wonderful adventure.
