An Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From the very beginning, the communication via WhatsApp with Evance was excellent and made it super easy to plan and organize everything for our trip. The entire safari was perfectly organized, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing throughout our holiday.
The food prepared by our chef Hamidu was absolutely delicious every single day, whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our guide and driver Richi was simply outstanding. He explained so many things to us, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, and did everything he could to show us as much as possible.
The country itself, the wildlife, and all the incredible experiences made this trip truly unforgettable. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better safari.
We would book this exact trip again without a second thought and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience. Thank you for making this journey so special! ❤️🦁

Excellent in everything safari related
"Wow!" Pretty much sums up the private, personanlized safari vacation that Ozon Light put together for my wife and me. Although we are world travelers, it was our first time in Africa and we understood the need for the best local connections to ensure a great once-in-a-lifetime vacation. We chose Ozon Light based on reviews from other travelers, the excellent communications from the Ozon Light staff during our planning, and the competitive price for a personalized experience. Ozon Light did not disappoint. From the first private transportation provided from the airport, to every last detail of schedule, meals, accommodations, and selected safari and beach destinations, every part of our trip was perfect. Our thanks goes to Letson Mwasile of Ozon Light for all this.
The majority of our time in Tanzania was spent with our guide, Elijah. Very personable and engaging. His knowledge of the safari areas, the animals, and their habitats gave us a close up look at wonders we could only have dreamed of seeing first-hand. There are too many species to begin to list them here. Suffice to say that volumes of National Geographic magazine would be needed to cover what we saw. Incredible, awesome, and inspiring somewhat describes it. Giraffes, lions, buffalo, elephants, crocodiles, hippos, rhinos, zebras, wildebeests, flamingos, gazelle, and so many more. Elijah provides the skill, energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism for a perfect safari. And for those concerned with communication in foreign language, his English is excellent.
5 stars for Ozon Light. 5 stars for our salesman Letson. 5 stars for our guide Elijah.

Eagle-eyed guide who spots distant wildlife and always knows where to be at the right time!
We had an amazing safari experience as a family of four! The vehicle was comfortable, our private guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. His eagle eyes spotted animals from incredible distances, and his perfect timing ensured we were always in the right place at the right time. Everything was well organised, and we saw all the animals we hoped for, including the Big Five and the Ugly Five. An unforgettable experience we highly recommend!

Professional!
I heard of SINGE TOURS in 2023 through a colleague in Nairobi. I have since then organised about a dozen trips to different places with / for different persons. I know that I can count on their professionalism to sit back and relax. Once I give them the brief and we agree on the expectations (mode of transport, accommodation, activities, etc.), my focus quickly shifts to co-ordinating my team. I leave Singe Tours to do the rest. The drivers are cordial and keep time (a commendable trait in the tropics). Thanks to their good knowledge of the parks, the safaris acquire an educational character, enabling us to enjoy the trip and to learn a few lessons about wildlife and the parks.
I just returned from Samburu National Park yesterday with some friends. We stayed in Samburu Elephant Lodge. Without the driver's knowledge and patience, we would not have spotted all the animals endemic to the area (reticulated giraffe, Baiser oryx, Somali ostriches, grevy zebras, and gerenuk). We got to see the close to 20 lions hiding under the orange-leaf croton bushes. It is these little details that contributed to the wonderful experience by my team.
During our debrief after the safari, one team member said the following: "The game drive was fantastic; the driver was courteous and patient and friendly and always kept time. The food was very well done, very tasty, at the right temperature and in good portions. The hotel staff were amazing, courteous, friendly, pleasant, and on time. The group was great. Very friendly. The beds were very comfortable. The hotel environment was so serene; I enjoyed the lounge and sunbeds and the view of the river and bush experience. The room was spacious, clean and had enough bathroom supplies."

The safari tours were an incredible experience and highlight of our vacation!
We booked a 3 day luxury tour from Johannesburg to Krueger National Park in October for our anniversary. Booking was easy using email and WhatsApp to communicate with Knap Tours.
The first day starts with about a 6 hour drive from Johannesburg airport to the destination riding in a van.
The "luxury" was because we chose to stay at a hotel, which was the Radisson. We were thrilled with that decision. The hotel was very nice, with two fabulous pools and great mountain views. The package included buffet style meals and our room was spacious and had air conditioning, which was appreciated. Highly recommend if you prioritize comfort.
We had a late afternoon tour once we arrived. It was booked for 14:10 but there were multiple safari jeeps and the drivers made no attempt to engage or announce their arrival, even though we were standing & waiting. We had to contact Knap Tours to figure out if our guides were even there and then had to go around asking the different drivers if they were for our tour. Once we finally connected with the appropriate car (30 min later), it was a smooth experience. The guides were nice and did a great job spotting and finding animals for us to view. Getting to enjoy the sunset in the park was beautiful. On our way back to the hotel, I had to reach out to Knap Tours to request the schedule for the following day which was promptly received.
The full day was absolutely fantastic!! Our guide was great, and we saw so many different animals. It was incredible!! On the way back to the hotel, I had to reach out to Knap Tours to request the schedule for the following day which was promptly received.
The last day was a morning tour. The park we went to was very sparse, and we didn't see anything in the first hour of driving. Even after it was a single elephant, a single giraffe, and old water buffalo. I don't know how, but near the end we did see a small family of lions which saved the tour from being uneventful.
We took a similar van back to Johannesburg. We were told the wrong departure time so the group was a bit frustrated that they were waiting for us. The drive was irritating due to two rude individuals who treated the van as their personal party being loud, taking phone calls on speaker, watching reels without headphones, singing, etc. while everyone else was trying to relax from the early morning start times. I wish the driver would have made an announcement at the first rest stop about respecting everyone in the van and keeping noise to a respectable level. Obviously, Knap Tours cannot control the behavior of others but setting some expectations might have helped.

Elias was welcoming, patient, full of knowledge and determined to provide a top experience for us!
Absolutely incredible! Budget camping safari did not feel like budget at all! From our pick up we were looked after, given amazing photo opportunities as well as interesting knowledge of all the facts. Our guide Elias was determined also to ensure we caught all the action, especially with a lion pride catch and a male lion walking in Ngorongoro Crater. After our drives, our chef, Pius, ensured we felt comfortable on camp and eased any nerves! The food he provided for breakfast lunch and dinner was top notch! For a backpacker having camped elsewhere in Africa, I was delighted to have delicious meals everyday, especially homemade pizza !!! But most of all, he created a fun atmosphere on camp too!
The budget camping safari was spectacular but one thing that made it even better was the people met because of the group joining aspect of it!
Thank you so much Elias and Pius and Suricata Safaris! A trip of a lifetime!

Kiota Tour provided an excellent safari experience with professional arrangements.
We had an excellent experience with Kiota Adventures & Safaris during our Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari. The entire trip was well organised, with good arrangements for accommodation, transportation and game drives. The hotel and lodge arrangements were comfortable, and the overall itinerary allowed us to enjoy Tanzania’s magnificent wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
The team was professional, supportive and attentive to our requirements, making the journey smooth and memorable. We truly enjoyed the safari and appreciate the efforts made by Kiota Adventures & Safaris to ensure a wonderful experience.
I would highly recommend Kiota Adventures & Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania for their reliable service, good organisation and memorable safari experience.
