Amazing experience
Everything was perfectly managed, food, accommodation, tents and lodge. We met a fantastic group, and our guide Malisa was amazing. We saw all the big five and some of the animals were very close to us.

Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari with Ozon Tours and Kessy
Our 8-day trip to Tanzania with Ozon Tours, including the 4-day safari through Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the organization was seamless, the accommodations were great, and the wildlife sightings were beyond my expectations.
A special thanks to our guide, Kessy, who made the safari truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the parks, wildlife behaviour, and Tanzanian culture enriched the experience. He had a sharp eye for spotting animals (including the Big Five!) and always positioned us for the best views and photos. His professionalism, patience, and friendly demeanor made every game drive enjoyable.
The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to experience the diversity of each park—from the elephants of Tarangire to the breathtaking Serengeti plains and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. Ozon Tours ensured comfort, safety, and an authentic adventure.
We highly recommend Ozon Tours, especially with Kessy as your guide—you’re guaranteed an unforgettable safari! Asante sana for a trip we will not forget for a very long time.

While in Nairobi for a business conference, I was able to arrange for an overnight trip to Amboseli National Park. Blue Lilac was very accommodating to find something that worked for my schedule my guide, Sebastian was fantastic.
He is very knowledgeable, very friendly and perhaps even very lucky as we were able to see everything I had hoped for in Amboseli. The highlight was our sunrise game drive.

Lifetime nature experience
The whole safari was a great experience but beyond that, profesionalism of Samora was remarkable since even before we arrived Tanzania they managed to help us with our visa process.. thanks Iddy. During the safari, every place was outstanding... Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara... We saw everything or almost... leopards did not want to visit!!! Other than that, lions several times and in full action, bufalos, cheetah, impalas, gazelles, hipos, crocodiles, eagles, vultures, hyenas, jackals, flamingos, giraffes, zebras, antilopes, monkeys, baboons, turtles, lisaards, many other birds, rhyno, ostriches... All 4 accommodation were excellent but I highly recommend Harmony camp if you really want to experience real wild... it's amazing to weak up at 7am and see 100mts away from your tend 2 giraffes walking and eating so close to you. Nothing of that could be so amazing without our knowledgeable, flexible and friendly guide, Regi. He made this safari unforgettable for the 3 of us.

Amazing family safari with Emile and Lion Safaris
Emile and his team were amazing. We hired Emile to plan a complicated safari trip to Akagera as two groups of our family were staying in different areas looking to meet up at Akagera. Emile was a wonderful guide and the entire trip was amazing. I would highly recommend him and Lion Safaris to anyone visiting Rwanda.

Made all of our honeymoon dreams come true!
We had Mr Martin and Shabani as our guide and driver. They were both absolutely incredible.
Mr Martin has the ability to spot all the animals and ensure that we had breath taking views, surreal distance from the animals and impart all of his wisdom of the nature to us.
Mr Shabani is the best driver in Tanzania, we never got stuck, lost and had a comfortable ride. He got us as close to all the animals as he could without causing harm or disturbance to nature.
We spoke to many other safari guests back at our lodge who had not been lucky enough to see the same animals that we had.
Mr Martin and Shabani helped us to see

An Unforgettable Safari with the One and Only George – A True Master of the Wild!
We’ve just returned from a breathtaking 5-day safari through Kenya, covering Nairobi, the legendary Masai Mara, and the serene Lake Naivasha — and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary, all thanks to our tour guide, George.
Let me start by saying: if you ever get the chance to have George as your guide, consider yourself very lucky. He’s the kind of guide everyone wants — and for good reason. In fact, we were surprised (and grateful) to find him available, because with the level of experience, effort, and results he brings to the table, we’re sure he’s one of the most in-demand guides in Kenya. Even inside the park, we overheard and noticed other drivers admiring his skills — asking him for directions, following his lead, or simply acknowledging that “George knows what he’s doing.”
And oh, does he ever. While most cars just circle around hoping for sightings, George works differently. With his sharp eye and deep understanding of animal behavior, he doesn’t just follow — he anticipates. He reads the landscape and the animals like a book. He notices the tiniest signs — the direction an animal is looking, blood on their face, a flick of the ear, or tension in their posture — and within minutes, he’s taking us to exactly where the action is about to happen. Time and again, we were among the first at sightings, with other vehicles trailing behind once they realized George was onto something special.
Thanks to him, we saw it all — and most of it on the very first day! A leopard resting on a tree, male and female lions (some alone, others in a pride), a pride preparing for a hunt, three cheetahs on the move, a dramatic chase, hyenas scavenging, majestic elephants, huge buffalos, elegant giraffes, zebras, impalas, antelopes, and an incredible variety of birds. It felt like a week’s worth of sightings packed into a single magical day — a true testament to George’s expertise and intuition.
He’s not just doing a job — he’s living his passion, and it shows in every moment on the safari.
Beyond the park, George continued to shine. His friendly and warm personality extended into the lodges we stayed at. After a long day on safari, if we ever had an issue — whether it was with the room, a late-night request, or any inconvenience — George would immediately take charge. He’d call reception on our behalf and ensure the matter was resolved, no matter what time of night it was. His sense of responsibility and genuine care went above and beyond what anyone could expect from a guide.
Our journey wouldn’t have been possible without Meektrails, the tour company that coordinated everything perfectly. From the first moment, they impressed us with their professionalism and efficiency. We spoke to Daniel and Peris, who were incredibly responsive and helpful. Our initial call with them lasted barely 10 minutes, and within 30 minutes, we had everything sorted — the itinerary confirmed and the payment done. With other companies, we weren’t comfortable moving forward so quickly, but with Meektrails, it just felt right — and it absolutely was.
So thank you, Meektrails, Daniel, Peris, and most importantly George, for making this the trip of a lifetime. You gave us memories that we’ll be talking about for years.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, don’t leave it to chance. Ask for George. If he’s available, book him immediately. You won’t regret it.

Incredible Service
Amazing experience. All tour guides involved we’re very friendly and informative, always ensuring we were having a good time. Food included was delicious and lodges were accommodating. They also provide transportation from Kilimanjaro airport, between places of stay, and back. I didn’t have to plan a single thing.
