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!

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

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!

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!

Soul-Stirring Safari and Victoria Falls Journey
My recent journey with Oldbeast Vacations was more than just a trip it was an experience that touched my heart and awakened my spirit. From the very first message exchanged, I could feel their dedication, warmth, and passion. Their communication was quick, clear, and personal. Every question was met with patience and care, making me feel supported and excited long before the adventure even began.
From the moment the tour started, I knew I was in the hands of people who truly love what they do. The guides did not just share information, they told stories, shared laughs, and opened a window into the soul of the places we visited. They guided us seamlessly through the Botswana border crossing and did it with such ease and confidence that we simply enjoyed the moment without a single worry.
Their passion was contagious. Exploring the Chobe River felt magical not only because of its beauty, but because of the way it was presented to us, with pride, respect, and genuine love for nature and culture. I found myself not just seeing the landscape, but feeling connected to it.
What amazed me most was the value. The level of professionalism, care, and extraordinary experiences we received far exceeded the cost. Oldbeast Vacations offers something rare these days tours designed with heart, not just profit.
Their reliability gave me peace of mind. Every detail, every transfer, every timing was handled with precision. There was no confusion, no stress, just pure excitement and ease. That allowed me to be fully present in every moment, living the adventure instead of worrying about it.
And what an adventure it was. Cruising along the Chobe River at sunset, watching wildlife in their natural world, feeling the vibration of Victoria Falls, and breathing in the wild, open air it was not just sightseeing, it was soul-filling. Every moment felt like a gift.
This was more than a tour. These were memories stitched into my heart. This was laughter, amazement, discovery, peace, and gratitude all woven together into one unforgettable journey.
If you’re searching for a travel experience that moves you, inspires you, and stays with you long after you return home, choose Oldbeast Vacations. They don’t just show you a destination they let you feel it.
Thank you for an adventure I will carry with me forever.

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!

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.

A Safari Trip of a Lifetime
This incredible journey was made possible by Agnes's meticulous planning. She was incredibly thorough and patiently answered every single one of my questions. When I was unsure about hotels, she listed the features of each one for me. The itinerary she designed was perfectly logical, and she promptly resolved any minor issues that arose during the trip. A wonderful surprise was that she communicated via WeChat, which is immensely convenient for Chinese tourists.
Before the tour began, Benson provided us with a detailed briefing. After the trip concluded, he met with us and carefully listened to our feedback.
I must give a special mention to our driver-guide, James. He was absolutely fantastic! Thanks to him, on our very first African safari, we managed to spot the Big Five! James demonstrated a great sense of pacing throughout the journey, allowing us to efficiently view all the wildlife. I told James I wanted to see a cheetah and some "action". With his eagle eyes, he immediately located a cheetah, and we witnessed the incredible sight of it hunting – it was truly amazing! We also saw not one, but two leopards, as well as a black rhinoceros, which is no easy feat! James is a superb driver, a top-tier tracker, always punctual, and consistently kept the vehicle in perfect condition.
Overall, this was a truly unforgettable journey. I will forever cherish the memories of the elephant herds against the majestic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, the breathtaking sight of flamingos in flight, the rare black rhino at Lake Nakuru, and the magnificent lions, cheetahs, and the two leopards we were so lucky to see in the Masai Mara!
I highly recommend Classic Explorers! I can't wait to go on another safari adventure!
