Incredible experience - Ultimate Kenyan with Train and Beach
We started planning our safari about a year in advance. Wendy and Lewis sent lots of information and were incredibly helpful. They were very patient and accommodating as we worked out whether a family member could travel with us due to health restrictions.
At times we had to push for information, but this may reflect the difference between British and Kenyan attitudes to travel!
On arrival we were met by Wendy, Lewis and their full team bearing gifts,and then introduced to our guide Edward. Edward was fantastic throughout he trip, adapting the trip to suit our interests - for example on our visit to Lake Elementitia, knowing members of our group were particularly interested in birds he took us to a section of the lake where the birds were particularly active. He was always in the know about what was happening with animals in the park and helped us to spot so much!
The accommodation was all lovely, comfortable and welcoming. A few days at the beach was just what we needed to relax after our adventure!
The internal flight back to Nairobi caused a little confusion - we were quite panicked about arriving at the airport barely 45 minutes before our flight - but we were not the last to check in! Check details for your luggage if you have flights.
We travelled about 1200 miles over the course of the safari, and Edward never looked at a sat nav once! Finding us washrooms and refreshments where needed as well as the well stocked water supply. The travel is tiring but well worth it for the sights and experiences. Thanks to Edwards network of guides we saw so much!
Tips - although we paid for the safari and tips in dollars, shillings were generally more useful to us.
Food was lovely and plentiful, even as a vegetarian. Many places checked whether I was happy with what was on offer.
Get used to the idea of bush toilets! When using public restrooms toilet roll is sometimes outside the cubicles. We put a roll in our travel bag and we're grateful for it.
Expect to pay for water with meals at some places. It's not expensive but not everywhere included this.

An Unforgettable Safari!
the entire experience of our safari with Ozon Light Tours was flawless from start to finish. I booked our tour six months in advance, and right from the beginning, the agency was incredibly transparent and trustworthy. Planning a trip so far ahead can be stressful, but their excellent communication put us completely at ease.
The logistics were perfect, and they selected excellent hotels for us. Having a comfortable, high-quality place to get a great night's sleep between the days on the Serengeti or Ngorongoro or Tarangire made a massive difference in our trip.
Our guide, Elijah, truly made the safari an absolute dream. He proved to be an exceptional driver—incredibly safe, careful, and responsible on every terrain. His tracking skills are unmatched; it felt like he always knew exactly where the wildlife would be, always positioning us perfectly for the best possible views of leopards, rhinos, lions, and more. Beyond that, Elijah is a wealth of knowledge. He was incredibly proactive, constantly sharing fascinating insights about the animals and local culture.
From the office staff to the field, Ozon Light Tours operates at the highest level. Do yourself a favor and ask for Elijah. They truly earned this 5-star review!
