Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Lara Hauser
The Masai Mara was the best national park I’ve ever visited. So many amazing wildlife sightings, and the landscape is absolutely breathtaking. When I return, I’ll definitely do a balloon safari.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Lara Hauser
Samburu National Reserve was amazing. The lodge we stayed at was the best of our entire trip, the landscape was beautiful, and what made it really special was spotting animals we had never seen before — like the Grevy’s zebra, the gerenuk, and the reticulated giraffe. Highly recommended!

Mr. Nuhu’s team created an African adventure for family fun, adventure and affordable!
Our group of 28 family members and one long time friend, ages 1-83 embarked on an African trip with Ozon Light tours July 26-August 10. After traveling 20 plus hours from Anchorage, Alaska we landed on Zanzibar Island. Our first stop at Marafiki Bungalows on Zanzibar Island was a perfect combination of beautiful ocean front water, a delightful swimming pool, large accommodations with netted beds, and an open air restaurant with the most amazing food and obliging staff. Our day trips across the island included a spice farm, Stonetown, snorkeling and swimming with dolphins and turtles and a sunset Dhow boat tour. After a few days of relaxing island life, we flew to Arusha to begin our safari. There to greet us was Mr. Nuhu, owner of Ozon Light tours, and his energetic team of drivers and office managers. Our four skilled, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful drivers of Toyota landrovers drove us first to Tarangire National Park. Fortunately our time in Tanzania was during the dry season which meant no rain and not a lot of foliage obstructing our view of the multitude of African animals and birds. Our first night on safari was at Eileen’s Tree House with comfortable netted beds inside tents surrounded by lit paths that led to the restaurant. Again the food was delicious and plentiful. Each day we were sent off with a packed lunch to view endless land and water animals and birds. We drove North through Central and Northern Serengeti parks. Driving alongside the wildebeests and zebras migrating the Serengeti plains north to Kenya was an absolutely fascinating experience! Our final day of Safari was a drive down the Ngorongoro Crater to see the Big 5 grazing on the lush green grasslands. As we headed back to Arusha, we stopped at a cooperative market stocked with thousands of handmade gifts and souvenirs, followed by a visit to the Africa Safari compound of beautifully crafted high end art pieces. Our final stop was at a Maasai village where the chief’s son proudly showed us the small mud and dung huts, the warrior dance and a visit to the market to purchase beaded jewelry and carved items made by the villagers. Every person we met on our tour genuinely greeted us with warmth, a big smile and often times singing and dancing! This trip was affordable because it was the only company who offered a discount rate for the various ages in our group. We want to Thank Mr. Nuhu and his team for creating for us a once in a lifetime adventure of Africa!

For the once in a lifetime safari go no further than Tailormade Africa
Clyde and the team at Taylormade Africa take the guess work out of what is often a once in a lifetime safari. The upfront planning helps design a bespoke African experience which is second to none. The Safari was then fully planned with an interactive app to help layout the plan and provides useful information like visa requirements etc. Clyde and the team are then available when needed to help turn the plan into action. We had 2 weeks planned which included Kenya and Tanzania. We wanted to see the migration and also Ruaha in southern Tanzania. Taylormade Africa then booked all the accommodation, flights and transfers. From the time we landed in Kenya to being dropped off in Dar Es Salaam everything went to plan with first class service at every step. Clyde and the team checked in on us and are available if and when needed. The Serengeti is getting very crowded and you really need the services of Tailormade Africa to help you navigate the options and help make this an exceptional experience . Now how can we make this once in a lifetime holiday happen again. 5 stars to Tailormade Africa.

Excellent service and safe
Theodore was our driver from Kruger to Johannesburg. He was professional and very polite. Our trip was safe and allowed for breaks. We were able to see rhinos at the rest stop. I recommend this for transport.

I can’t imagine a better safari - do the 10 days
Our recent 10 day Safari truly answered any “bucket list” desires we had about experiencing Wild Africa. Reggie was with us constantly for 10 days and we came to love him in a whole new way: as a guide/protector/friend/son. He knows all the areas we visited so well that it seemed as if he put in an order for a certain animal to appear sometimes as we rounded a corner or gently drove up to a remote area that just looked like dry bush grass but lo and behold the lion cubs! We had a few unexpected adventures such as vehicle troubles, but Reggie calmly and systematically handled those issues like a true professional.
With so much time together we were able to talk about just about everything from cultural differences to animal habitat. He is vastly knowledgeable about so many aspects of nature, well beyond what one might expect from a typical “let’s just see what we can find today” approach.
We are so glad to have committed to the 10 day safari instead of the rush a shorter one would have been. Reggie adapted everything to our pace, which we greatly appreciated. He is a man of grace, integrity, humour and great kindness- he has the servant’s heart and no request was any problem to him. Hakuna matata was our motto.
If we were to recommend one change to our long safari it would be to fly the long distances with our guide, which they can arrange.
We cannot recommend Experience Safaris highly enough.

Excellent and reliable tour operator
Our group of 20 went there on August 8th till August 21st. It was a great trip. First of all, The accommodation and the food provided by the hotels and lodges are surprisingly a lot more better than we expected. Secondly, Sirini has excellent and very experienced drivers for the game drives that leads us to the most exciting spots for viewing the animals and through the most incredible hard to drive roads which forms a great part of excitement of the trip. And of course, the key person of the entire trip, Deo, the operator, he is such a nice and smart young man! He is always patiently cooperating with us about every thing and make sure everyone has been taking care of. Our whole group is very satisfied with his service and highly recommend to our friends about the trip he and his company organized.

An amazing and unforgettable Africa Safaris experience
The Africa Safari tour arranged by Sirini Safaris was excellent.
Our group of 20 people traveled in four off-road vehicles and spent ten days on game drives across the savannah. Everyone in the group was delighted with the experience. The services exceeded our expectations—from the game drives, accommodation, and food, to the many unique experiences along the way.
Deo and his team were professional, sincere, and dedicated. They actively searched for wildlife during the game drives, always striving to provide us with the best safari experience.
This journey was more than just a trip. Beyond the breathtaking scenery and the incredible animals, we also felt their sincerity, kindness, friendship, knowledge and love for wildlife.
It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience. Many thanks to Deo for his thoughtful arrangements, and to his hardworking team for making this safari so memorable.

Exceptional Quality and Personal Service!! If I could give them 10 stars I would!!
This trip was a dream of ours for many years. And dreams really do come true! Darren and his team really made this an exceptional experience from beginning to end. The planning was personalized and very thoughtful. Our accommodations exceeded our expectations ... the food, the staff ... the game drives ... everything! And I could go on and on about our guides. They were instantly part of our family. Compass Odyssey really knows their stuff .. and set up every detail beautifully. We have recommended them to everyone we know. Africa is an amazing place with beautiful people, amazing scenery and creatures big and small. We are already dreaming of our next trip ... and will be calling Darren to make it all happen!
