Nature and adventure
I visited the Serengeti Park, Ngorongoro, and the Hadzabe tribe with Bush and Forest Explorers. These were thrilling experiences in close contact with nature and local populations, especially with a people who live as hunter-gatherers. The organization was efficient in every aspect.

Fantastically efficient with all our requests and requirements.
Axis were a fantastic expedition company. They were thorough in their preparations of the trip for us. They asked plenty of questions in terms of what we wanted and tried to get the best deal for us. We were on the safari for 4 days, started at Nairobi, Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha. Their communication was fantastic as they always got back to us in timely manner. The experience was ethical in terms of respecting the animals’ habitat and the driver was mindful of us being in their territory apart from one particular sighting; we personally felt that the rush of vehicles towards the wilder beasts whilst they were crossing was quite distressful for them. Unfortunately, in that instance, we contributed towards the problem. It would’ve been nice to have viewed the crossing from a distance and thus giving the animals more space. The tour guide was aware that this was a wider issue that the reserve/park faces and he was trying to cater to everyone’s needs in our particular group. Overall, we had an incredible once in a lifetime experience. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the amount of animals we saw was incredible and the knowledge of our tour guide was impressive! Would definitely recommend booking through Axis!

Excellent service, great communication and very accommodating for our wishes and needs.
We had a great safari thanks to Clinton in the office and Denis our driver and guide. Better than expected. Being in the Serengeti and seeing the top five, the great migration including wildebeest crossing the Mara River was amazing. Plus we saw many more mammals and birds thanks to Denis and his sharp eyes. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge and fun to be with. Thank you Ozon Light Tours for amazing safari.

Excellent trip!
This was my first trip to Tanzania, and I did extensive preparation from the very beginning when searching for a travel agency. I contacted and emailed numerous agencies, and ultimately chose this one, which proved to be the best choice. They provide a complete cost breakdown, clearly showing every expense, and their margins are transparent. For a comparable trip, the cost was the lowest, yet the service was exceptional. Thanks to the Chinese-speaking customer service, everything went smoothly. From itinerary planning and hotel selection to pre-trip preparations and the immediate response to any issues we encountered, they were exceptional. We spent three days on Zang Island and five nights in the Serengeti. We saw a wealth of animals and were completely satisfied with our trip. Most importantly, during my ten-day trip, I observed many travel agencies' vehicles. Ours was definitely among the best in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and amenities. With long daily car rides on the savannah, vehicle condition is crucial. I highly recommend this travel agency, especially for Chinese tourists like me. There's no domestic travel agency taking advantage of price differences, and the Chinese-speaking customer service representatives have actually been there. Finally, I would like to celebrate the successful completion of my trip to Tanzania again. I hope to come again next time!

Fantastic experience, highly recommended, unforgettable experience
We took a private 7 day tour covering four national parks, including the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. From start to finish, the trip was absolutely incredible. Heavenlight was fantastic, she helped tailor our itinerary to match exactly what we wanted, and her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, making everything smooth and stress free.
Our guide, Meddy, was exceptional. He had a relaxed, flexible approach that allowed us to structure each day to our preferences. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, far more than I expected, and often from just a few meters away.
The accommodations exceeded all expectations, there was even a spa in the heart of the Serengeti. Truly unforgettable!

Great driver who knows what he is doing
Our tour operator was Kennedy Nyongesa Wandera Katamboga, and he was great. He listened to our commands and repeated on the daily the sentence 'if you are happy, i am happy' and that is exactly what a tour operator is supposed to do, we saw everything we wanted and it was an amazing experience.

Fantastic 4 day safari in Tsavo East/West and Saltlick with Morris.
All communication regarding booking and questions to Paul in advance was top-notch.
Morris was a very knowledgeable guide and safe driver.
We stayed at Voi Safarilodge, Ngulia Safarilodge and Salt Lick Safarilodge. At Voi you have a tunnel that allows you to get close to the animals that come to the waterhole. Ngulia has Leopard feeding and a waterhole right outside the hotel room. Salt Lick, where the rooms are on stilts, allows the animals to roam freely around the houses. Food and lodging good in all places. Salt Lick is a large lodge with a lot of people!
In Tsavo East we saw the most animals, the west has a different and exciting landscape. In Salt Lick, night safari is recommended. Fantastic to see animals in their usual surroundings. We caught 4 of the big 5.

Excellent safari, well planned, had a great time
Our week long safari with David from Migration Venture Africa was great. We saw lots of animals across several different parks. The accommodation arranged for us was brilliant, all had comfy beds, food was delicious, the staff were all friendly and helpful.
David was a brilliant guide and driver, definitely has a lot of local knowledge which was invaluable throughout the week to navigate the inevitable bumps along the way, and giving us lots of information along the way. Even when there were issues with the vehicle he knew where to go to get it fixed and in our way very quickly. The environment and roads you tavel on are very demanding on the vehicles so its not uncommon for the occasional issue with the vehicles and having a knowledgeable driver/guide is so important, and David made sure our trip carried on and we could really enjoy ourselves. He even stopped to help out another driver (with passengers) who was stuck in a fairly remote area of the serengeti, which was really good of him (it only took a few minutes to get them going so was no imposition on us).
I would definitely recommend Migration Venture Africa, and David, for others looking for a fun safari with a top notch guide/driver.

A Amazing 8 day Safari trip with Charles
We would like to highly recommend Charles (and his trainee, Pumba) our safari guide, whose professionalism and warmth made our entire Tanzania experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, communication during the planning and booking process was smooth, clear, and responsive. Every question we had was answered promptly, and we felt confident and well-informed before even landing.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome that immediately made us feel at ease. Charles & Pumba's hospitality set the tone for the trip, and from the first moment, we knew we were in great hands.
Throughout the safari, the depth of their knowledge about wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was nothing short of remarkable. They shared fascinating insights, spotted animals we never would have seen on our own, and added rich detail to every part of the journey. His passion, respect for nature, and attention to our comfort made all the difference.
We can’t imagine a better guide, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
