Always committed to getting us the best shots of the animals!
Jumbe was the best safari guide imaginable. He was always committed to getting us the best shots possible. He is also a very nice and friendly person and knew a lot about the different animals, aswell as the different parks and lakes we went to.
Very reliable and always on time. Saw the big 5 aswell as the ugly 5.
10/10 would recommend Jumbe to anyone looking for a friendly and experienced safari guide!

Wonderful, Jumbe ist the best guide ever!
It was all perfectly organized, the car was safe and Jumbe is a very careful driver, both in the city as in the road. Off road Jumbe was driving carefully and condidently but not hesitating to be fast when an animal was to be seen. Jumbe knew more aboit nature than any guide I have ever had. Names of animals, behaviour, etc. You can ask him anything and he knows it, its impressive. And you can feel his passion for nature. Also regading our comfort Jumbe took care of us and was always available to make any wish come true. Patient and with a smile, relaxed and happy, Jumbe is the perfect guide to fall in love with Africa.

We're like friends!
We were from Japan.
Our 2-night, 3-day route took us to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.
It was my first time camping in a tent in Africa!
We were able to see all five of the Big Five thanks to our driver!
We even saw a lion eating a zebra!
Wild cheetahs! So cool!
What excited me the most was the warthog, one of the Ugly Five! ! ! So cute 🩷
Zebras ran right next to our tent, and we could clearly hear them eating grass. Hyenas were walking around at night. The distance was incredible! ! ! !
Our guide/driver said, "No fences, no security!" and that was so true!
We had a cook with us, so lunch in the savanna was an unforgettable experience.
Charging our cell phones and cameras was easy in the safari car, which was reassuring.
You can also charge them at the lodge, but it's difficult because there are other tour groups there.
The toilets were cleaner than I expected!
The bath apparently has hot water, but it's cold because other tour groups have used it all up.
Try it if you're feeling brave! Lol
The nights on the safari are cold.
A huge, bright red sunset falling across the grassland.
I'll never forget the sunrise that shines through the dim atmosphere of early morning, filled with hope.
Such a beautiful sunrise can only be seen here. I highly recommend experiencing it.
You can rest assured if you leave it to this agent!

Highly recommended from start to finish
We had a fantastic safari with Imara. Right from the start the team was easy and straight-forward to deal with.
Our guide/driver was excellent (thanks so much Tony!), managed to find every animal on our wishlist, and made sure we enjoyed the whole trip.
We were a group of 3 and did a private safari. This gave us a lot more flexibility about where to go, which animals to search for etc, and our guide (Tony) was always adjusting the plan make sure we had the best experience.
Covering our 'spotting wishlist' was fantastic, but Tony was always working to ensure we got better views and up-close experience with our favourites. That made all the difference to how much we enjoyed the safari.
I'd definitely recommend Imara, and we would happily book our next safari through them.

trip of a lifetime
trip of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!
We had the most amazing trip with nathan and elyson adventures!!! I cannot recommend choosing their safari company enough.
First off, Nathan was extremely communicative in tailoring a safari that perfectly matched our needs. We had a big group and he was able to accommodate all of us easily, including shifting plans. We were first introduced to him by a friend.
They recommended a great trip that included 9 days in Uganda and a week in tanzania. Uganda is extremely underrated — I cannot believe more people are not coming here for vacation. Everyone we met was extremely hospitable, excited to show us around, and conveniently, spoke excellent English. There were very few tourists and many of the activities were more hands-on and flexible compared to our game drives in Tanzania. This included a rhino trek, walking with giraffes and zebras, and of course, a chimp and gorilla trek.
The chimp and gorilla trek were obvious highlights. Both felt like once in a lifetime experiences: waiting in the rainforest for the chimps to come down and then following their path, or climbing through the steep, muddy Bwindi forest, as the guides hacked away trees with machetes so we could have a better view. these experiences were indescribably cool!!!
Tanzania was also a beautiful country, with game drives, the serengeti, and the great migration. Our group felt very fortunate that we were able to travel both countries and experience all they had to offer.
The lodges were great, the food was delicious, and Nathan was incredibly well-informed. He went above and beyond as a tour guide to get us closer to the animals or have the best experience. We all really enjoyed our trip with him and cannot recommend elyson adventures enough.
for those travelers seeking adventure, unique experiences, and travel to an organic and authentic destination, please book with elyson adventures and enjoy your safari!!!

Amazing Safari Experience in Tanzania
The highlight is the Serengeti Smile operated a great safari where we got to see an incredible number of animals and had great accommodations.
I will note that most all tour companies are probably similar in that most guides we talked to were friendly, knowledgeable, and good drivers. Our driver, Reginald, was excellent in those ways. In addition, he was also always looking out for others, helping to fix other jeeps. That’s the kind of good karma you should want in a driver! They also are connected to the Serengeti Classic View Camp, which was incredibly hospitable and was so nice in celebrating our honeymoon. I’m sure most tour companies are great, but I can say with certainty that Serengeti Smile is fantastic and is a great choice for a Tanzanian safari!

Fantastic Experience with Dicklack
We had the pleasure of doing a week long safari with Dicklack who was the perfect guide for our first time in Tanzania. His knowledge of all the parks was very deep and knew exactly how to spot and track all the animals. His knowledge allowed us to see all of the Big 5 along with the great migration.
I highly recommend following the times he suggests for game drives to increase the chances of seeing all the animals you want. His personality is very friendly and engaging and does an excellent job on answering any questions you have. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience for my family and would highly recommend Dicklack for anyone looking to book with Ozon Light Tours.

Small but brilliant
We traveled as a family of 4 and can’t praise Sopai Safaris highly enough. Sopai are small enough to make the experience really personal but also really delivered. The quality of the driver is key and we were introduced to Goodluck who was both driver, mechanic, naturalist and dinner host and he was brilliant at all of them. Recommend you ask for him on your safari. They certainly gave us many special memories. You can’t go wrong if you book with these.
good luck for your Safari.

They were simply brilliant, I would book again with them.
Had a wonderful experience thanks to Serengeti Smile. Eliad handled my booking brilliantly, guiding me each step of the way. His communication was prompt and very helpful. I had trouble with my Tanzania visa, they were not responding to me with the approval, he even managed to sort that.
Whenever I made payments he ensured I had peace of mind by sending confirmations right away, payments were quick and easy using the Wise App.
My guide was Hussein, he is the reason my experience was brilliant. A good, honest man with so much experience and great driving skills. He ensured i was able to witness all the animals from as close up as possible and even spent from his own pocket to buy snacks and soft drinks for the drive.
All in all a great experience, I will recommend Serengeti Smile to others for sure and definitely recommend you ask for Eliad when booking and Hussein as your guide.
