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!!!

Great day safari in Tarangire with friends!
Our group of friends booked a one-day safari to Tarangire National Park with Suricata Safaris, and it was perfect. Our guide, Jeremy, was fantastic—he spotted huge herds of elephants and shared so much about the wildlife and giant baobab trees. The picnic lunch in the park was great, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Highly organized team for a day tour!

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.

Over the past year, Paul and Sylvia helped us plan our entire trip by email. They responded incredibly quickly, listened to all our wishes and created a completely tailor-made journey for us. Everything was arranged perfectly down to the smallest detail.
A very special thank you to Freddy, our private guide, who was there for us throughout the entire safari. He was friendly, knowledgeable and simply amazing — we could not have wished for a better guide!
Our stay at Dove Camp in the Serengeti was also incredible and made the whole experience even more special.
