Ozon is a well-organized tour operator with a highly competent team.
First off: If you're unsure whether Tanzania is the right country for you: The country, nature, and people are simply amazing!
We (two couples) took the classic Tanzania trip from the end of October to mid-November 2025: Mountains, Safari, Zanzibar.
We worked with Ozon Light on-site and were extremely satisfied!
We booked some things ourselves:
- Flights
- Hotel for the stay between activities (Tanzania Safari Lodge: not cheap, but highly recommended)
- Flight Serengeti Seromera -> Zanzibar
- Hotel in Zanzibar (Shooting Star in Kiwengwa -> excellent, see separate review)
We had Ozon Light organize everything else as a complete package:
- Mount Meru (4 days)
- Kilimanjaro (Machame Route) (6 days)
-> Porter, guide, cook: They provided incredible service, including excellent food.
... Nevertheless, we were somewhat annoyed that the 'tips' (gratuities for the crew) were essentially fixed ($30 for guides, $20 for junior guides, $15 for cook and service porter, $10 for porter, each per day).
They certainly deserved it!
BUT: on top of that, there are almost $500 for Mount Meru and almost $1000 for Kilimanjaro (for four people, Machame Route with tents, 12 porters). This wasn't communicated. It's standard practice, but an add-on that needs to be factored in. (The other providers didn't mention this either, so no star deduction)
- Safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti (Tukaone Camp: A unique experience. Elephants roam around the camp at night)
Everything went perfectly. For the safari, it's best to ask for guide "Denis" .
He's incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly (he knows pretty much all the animals and plants).
Ozone very flexibly incorporated our wishes and our own bookings into a professional program. We were a little apprehensive about transferring so much money in advance to a local provider in Tanzania. But our concerns were unfounded.
The price/performance ratio was very good.
All the staff were top punctual and dedicated.
General: At the end of October, the animal density in the Central Serengeti is incredible. However, there's absolutely nothing going on at the Maru River. Be sure to do your research and get advice from Ozon.
The same applies to the mountains: In November, you can easily experience three days of heavy rain on Kilimanjaro (that's what happened to us). So late in the year Perhaps the Marangu Route (with huts) is preferable. According to the guide, August/September would be better for Machame with camping (Hindsight is 20/20).
Again, get advice from Ozon.
Mosquitoes were practically nonexistent. Note: For the guides, porters, etc., it's a relatively well-paid job. So don't be ashamed to accept service.

Exzellent informative Tour Operator with social investment
Carson was a exzellent and very informative tour Guido who made a half day tour more informative than further known full day tours in other areas. We were more than emotional involved in a very hard and sometimes depressing historical but still living world of black people. A very big thank you again for this opportunity!

The Best Trip of Our Lives – A Perfect Honeymoon Safari!
We had the best trip of our lives for our honeymoon!
Before the safari, we expected it might be quite tiring, but it turned out to be the complete opposite — everything was comfortable and perfectly arranged.
Our guide, Fredi, was absolutely amazing. He made us feel so relaxed throughout the trip, and his ability to spot animals during the game drives was truly impressive. He explained everything in such an engaging and informative way that every moment felt special.
The itinerary was also completely customized according to what we wanted, and everything went smoothly from start to finish.
It was an unforgettable experience — truly the best journey of our lives. Thank you, Fredi, for making our honeymoon so perfect!

Exceptionally attentive, thoughtful and seamless travel experience
We recently traveled to Masai Mara in mid-September with Mosaic Tours and Travels, and it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. We were a group of four — me, my husband, and my parents. Since both my parents have knee-related issues, we had informed Max beforehand. He was extremely thoughtful and planned everything keeping their comfort in mind, which made a huge difference for us.
Our point of contact, Max, was incredibly helpful and transparent throughout the planning process. He curated the perfect itinerary based on our needs and ensured that every detail was taken care of. The accommodations he suggested (Sopa Lodges) were fantastic and added to the overall experience.
During the tour, our guide and driver Obama was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, kind, and very skilled at tracking wildlife. Thanks to him, we had incredible sightings — lions, rhinos, cheetahs, zebras, jackals, hyenas, elephants, ostriches, and many more. We also enjoyed wonderful bird-watching at Lake Naivasha. Obama truly enhanced our experience by making sure we got the most out of every game drive.
This was a one-of-a-kind experience, and we are extremely grateful to the Mosaic Tours team. We will definitely return and will absolutely choose Mosaic Tours and Travels again for our next adventure!

THE AMAZING SAFARI TO MURCHISON FALLS
Trek Safaris organised a spectacular safari. The choice of accommodation was perfect after a 287km of driving. We saw plenty of animals,birds and the thunderous murchison falls. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK

Reliable, friendly, flexible
We booked our safari with Kihindo, and it was very smooth from the beginning. They always gave fast replies to all questions and all guides were super friendly. Because of the elections it was unstable in Tanzania at the moment of our planned safari, however it was easy to contact them and get all the changes we needed to be able to go to our safari anyways. No surprise costs, everything was exaktly as described, highly recommend!

An unforgettable experience
A unique experience with Termite Tour Travel, who took us on a 7-day itinerary to Arusha and three parks where we enjoyed unforgettable safaris. Highly recommended for their personalized service and attention to detail. Eli showed us unique spots in the Serengeti, and we shared this unforgettable experience with him. We would definitely repeat the experience with Termite Tour Travel.

An Unforgettable African Adventure
First of all, our guide Pius was outstanding. His professionalism, experience, and attention to detail truly amazed us. Throughout our 7-day safari, he went above and beyond to ensure we saw as many animals as possible and took the time to explain wildlife behavior, local culture, and the traditions of Tanzania. Every drive felt meaningful, exciting, and full of discovery because of his deep knowledge and genuine passion. We felt safe, comfortable, and constantly inspired by his guidance.
We would also like to give a special thank you to Jeremiah from the customer service team. From the very beginning, he was patient, responsive, and incredibly helpful. No matter how many questions we asked, he answered quickly and gave thoughtful suggestions that helped shape our trip perfectly. His support gave us so much confidence before we even arrived.
Lastly, heartfelt thanks to Wivi Agency for creating such a seamless, unforgettable, and magical journey for us. Every moment was carefully planned, filled with joy, wonder, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. We are truly grateful and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an extraordinary safari adventure.
This trip will forever hold a special place in our hearts!
