The operator was extremely good. All my needs were met.
The safari was great, but my tour guides, Booh and Sadam made this experience extraordinary! They were very professional, knowledgeable and charismatic! I felt the passion they possessed in what they do.

Incredible experience from planning to driver to food to accommodations!
We had a fabulous time on our 11-day Kenya and Tanzania adventure. The guides, accommodations, food, and game drives all exceeded our expectations.
Harun and Peter were fantastic guides and drivers. Please see our additional comments regarding both of them. As for the lodges and camps, we were very happy with our accommodations throughout the trip.
Starting at the Crowne Plaza, we felt safe and comfortable after two long international flights.
Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge was the perfect start to our adventure. The grounds and accommodations were beautiful, and seeing so many wild animals roaming the property immediately got us excited for the trip ahead. The boat ride and walking tour provided an intimate and memorable wildlife experience.
Tipilikwani Mara Camp offered a wonderful glamping experience. The chef, waitstaff, and security staff helped create an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The only drawback was that the camp is located outside the Masai Mara Reserve. We loved our stay, but if we were planning the trip again, we would likely choose a similar camp located inside the reserve to avoid the daily drive and park entrance process.
Serengeti Serena Lodge was an excellent choice. The drive there was long, but Peter turned it into an additional game drive, making the journey much more enjoyable. We debated whether we should have flown instead, but after seeing so much wildlife along the way, we appreciated making the drive. The thatched-roof rooms, buffet, and the opportunity to stay in the heart of the Serengeti made for a wonderful experience.
Acacia Farm Lodge was a beautiful boutique hotel and one of our favorite stays. The staff genuinely seemed to love their jobs and went above and beyond to make every day special. From our housekeeper leaving Swahili messages made from leaves to the spa experience and farm-to-table meals, every detail was thoughtfully executed. While we know some lodges near the Ngorongoro Crater offer spectacular crater views, we do not believe we would have enjoyed our stay more elsewhere.
Tarangire Sopa Lodge was very good. While it was not quite as impressive as Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lunch by the pool was delicious, and the evening entertainment provided a fun and authentic cultural experience.
Our final day was long due to our afternoon and evening flights, but Peter kept us engaged and entertained throughout the day. We initially wondered whether visiting Tarangire National Park was necessary after seeing so much wildlife elsewhere. However, Peter shared extensive knowledge about the birds, vegetation, and ecosystem, which made the visit worthwhile.
If we were to do the trip again, we might consider adding Zanzibar in place of Tarangire National Park. The challenge would be working out the flight and transportation logistics, but it is something we would explore.
Overall, this was truly the trip of a lifetime. We enjoyed every minute and deeply appreciate all of your help planning the journey and answering our many questions along the way. Thank you for helping create such an unforgettable experience.

Good money- quality ratio. Excellent guide.
An amazing experience! Our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable, skilled, and so patient with us. He took his time to find animals and explain everything without rushing.
The hotels/lodges were exactly as described: clean, comfortable. Good money- quality ratio.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real African safari!

Helpful, patient, good money-quality ratio
I really enjoyed my 4 day safari trip. Our guide Jimmy made this experience even more enjoyable, always being patient with our pictures, taking our opinion into consideration and spotting rhinos for us :) before booking the responses to emails were very quick and I got all needed information. Highly recommended!

The best experience ever!
We have just arrived back from our 3 nights, 4 day safari of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. We went as a family of 4 with friends who are also a family of 4. This meant we had two safari vehicles with 2 guides. Our guides Jeremy and Simon were the best we could ask for. We saw the big 5 and many more. The comminications for pick ups and day adventures were clear. Jeremy and Simons knowlwedge of the areas and animals were excellent. We stayed in various accommodation which were high standards. Hot food on the trip was provided each day and we had plenty of toilet stops. Everyday we saw lots of wildlife. We would highly recommend.
Incredible experience all round
We have just returned from our 3nt/4 day safari with Suricata and I can’t thank them enough for the amazing family adventure we’ve all had.
We went as 2 families of 4 so had 2 guides, Jeremy & Simon, who were fantastic.
Friendly, knowledgeable & went out of their way to ensure we were happy.
We saw every animal we could dream of seeing and could not have asked for anymore - just wish we had longer! We will hopefully be back!
Our accommodation was also fantastic, especially Suricata Boma Lodge - so much more luxurious than we expected- again wish we’d had longer there to try all the facilities.
Serengeti Bush Camp was also a wonderful experience, being in the middle of the plains with all the animal noises.

A very professional approach to their work, friendly and keen to meet individual requirements.
Our Guide Dennis was really laid-back, cool and incredibly friendly. He guided us expertly through the whole photo safari. His information about the animals – and especially the various birds – was well-informed and very enlightening.

Attentive, great service, highly recommend
Our tour was laid out perfectly by our operator Rodgers, and executed to the point by our amazing guide-driver Geeman.
Kenya is an amazing country, with incredible views and people that will steal your heart away. Thanks to the beautiful people in Viega, this long time dream of mine was finally realized.
And it doesn't get any better than that.

Our 7-day safari with Ozon Light Tours exceeded all our expectations!
Communication with Deus before our trip was always prompt, friendly, and professional. He patiently answered all our questions and made us feel completely at ease long before we arrived in Tanzania. Once we were there, he was always available whenever we needed him and took care of everything immediately. The transfers between the accommodations and to the airport were perfectly organized, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy our dream holiday.
Our guide, Allan, was absolutely outstanding and truly made this trip unforgettable. We couldn't have wished for a better guide. What impressed us most was his incredible ability to spot wildlife. He always seemed to know exactly where to go and somehow managed to position our vehicle perfectly for every sighting. Time and again, we were among the first vehicles to arrive, giving us breathtaking, unobstructed views before other vehicles gathered. He was also incredibly patient during our endless photo sessions and always made sure we had enough time to enjoy every special moment.
Thanks to Allan's experience, knowledge, and dedication, we were fortunate enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife and learn so much about Tanzania's unique ecosystems. Some of the highlights included a pair of black rhinos walking right along the road in the Ngorongoro Crater, witnessing the Great Migration with thousands of wildebeest crossing a river, and two unforgettable leopard sightings. Every day brought new surprises and unforgettable moments.
The accommodations selected by Ozon Light Tours were also excellent. We especially loved the beautiful tented camp in the Serengeti with its exceptionally friendly staff. After the safari, the relaxing beachfront bungalows in Zanzibar provided the perfect place to unwind and reflect on our amazing adventure.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ozon Light Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If you have the opportunity to travel with Allan as your guide and Deus as your tour coordinator, consider yourselves very fortunate.
Thank you, Allan and Deus, for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime. This journey was everything we had hoped for and more. We will never forget this incredible experience and sincerely hope to return to Tanzania one day!
