An unforgettable safari – with the best guide we could have wished for!
Our safari with Ozon Light Tours was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences of our entire trip. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, travelled through breathtaking landscapes, and experienced countless special moments that we will remember for many years to come. The safari did not merely meet our expectations – it exceeded them in every possible way.
A huge part of what made this experience so exceptional was our wonderful guide, Albert. From the very beginning, he was incredibly friendly, welcoming, attentive, and professional. It was always clear how important it was to him that we had the best possible experience. He listened carefully to what we wanted to see and do, accommodated all our wishes, and adapted the safari to our personal interests. We never felt as though we were simply following a fixed schedule. Instead, the entire experience felt personal and perfectly tailored to us.
Albert has an impressive knowledge of the national parks, the animals, and the best locations for wildlife sightings. He always knew where to look, what signs to watch out for, and how to behave respectfully around the animals. He was also in constant communication with other guides and drivers in the area to receive updates about recent sightings. Thanks to his excellent network, experience, and instincts, we saw an incredible number of animals and were often in exactly the right place at exactly the right moment.
What makes Albert especially outstanding is his exceptional eye for wildlife photography. Whenever we spotted an animal, he did not simply stop the vehicle at the first available position. Instead, he carefully considered the angle, distance, background, and lighting conditions. He always positioned the vehicle in such a way that we had the best possible view and could take beautiful photographs.
Very often, Albert seemed to think several steps ahead. He anticipated where an animal was likely to move and knew from which direction the light would create the best photographs. He found the perfect positions without disturbing the animals and always made sure that we had enough time to capture the moment. Because of this, we were able not only to enjoy some truly extraordinary wildlife sightings, but also to take home many wonderful photographs that will forever remind us of this experience.
Albert was endlessly patient and always gave us plenty of time to observe the animals and fully appreciate each moment. We never felt rushed. He made us feel that a safari is not about quickly ticking as many animals as possible off a list, but about slowing down, observing nature, and truly experiencing each encounter. This approach made every sighting feel even more special and created so many unforgettable memories.
In addition to his outstanding knowledge and expertise, Albert is simply a wonderful person. He was always friendly, helpful, considerate, and in a good mood, while remaining calm and attentive at all times. Throughout the safari, we felt completely comfortable and very well looked after. His passion for nature and wildlife was obvious and truly contagious. He shared so much interesting information with us, patiently answered all our questions, and contributed enormously to the wonderful atmosphere of the entire trip.
We experienced so many incredible things during our safari that it is difficult to choose only a few highlights. It was not just the major and spectacular wildlife sightings that impressed us, but also the many smaller moments: watching animals behave naturally in their own environment, experiencing beautiful changes in the light, travelling through magnificent landscapes, and constantly being surprised by the diversity of nature. Thanks to Albert, we were able to experience all of this in a particularly meaningful and memorable way.
You can tell that Ozon Light Tours truly cares about creating an exceptional safari experience for its guests. For us, every moment of this safari was worth it. We are taking home not only countless beautiful photographs, but above all a collection of memories that we will treasure forever.
We can wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Ozon Light Tours. Anyone fortunate enough to have Albert as their guide can consider themselves extremely lucky. He is not only an outstanding guide with an incredible instinct for wildlife, lighting, and photography, but also a genuinely warm, kind, and wonderful person.
Thank you so much to Ozon Light Tours, and especially to Albert, for this fantastic experience, the amazing wildlife sightings, and all the unforgettable moments. This safari will stay with us forever!

Wonderful honeymoon-safari with Safari Soles and brilliant guide Dickson
On August 2026 we had a wonderful honeymoon safari with Safari Soles and our guide Dickson. The safari was a private tour of 11 days, most time in the Serengeti in different camps. The organisation of the tour was perfect, our car was excellent and Dickson, our guide, was brilliant. We had fantastic sightings and Dickson did always his best to make our tour perfect. It was a fantastic once in a lifetime experience, but we definitely want to come back.
We would every time book again our tour with Safari Soles and can recommend the company a lot. Also we would love to do a next tour with Dickson again, because of he was a brilliant guide and also good German speaking. Sorry for our bad English….

Incredible experience in Masai Mara with Raymond!
We left from Nairobi for 3 days in the Masai Mara with our guide Raymond. It was an amazing experience, Raymond was kind, very professional and he knows exactly where to find the animals. We had the chance to see the big five during the trip thanks to Raymond!
Thank you so much Raymond and if we plan another trip in Kenya we will definitely choose Axis Africa Expedition and especially Raymond!

Solomon is a professional well rounded man and will accommodate a great experience for you
We had an amazing experience with Solomon from Arre Tours. He was a fantastic host and operator who went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs throughout the trip.
What really stood out was Solomon’s ability to show us a unique and authentic side of Ethiopia that we wouldn’t have experienced on our own. His local knowledge, flexibility, and genuine hospitality made the experience incredibly special.
We’re very grateful to Solomon for making our trip so memorable and would highly recommend him and Arre Tours to anyone looking to explore Ethiopia in a more personal and meaningful way.

Amazing Kilimanjaro climb and safari – highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel
We travelled with Sote Tours and Travel for a 7 day Machame Route climb on Kilimanjaro, followed by a 6 day safari visiting Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We were a group of four, and honestly, the whole experience was much better than we expected.
Communication with Sote Tours was very good. When we first contacted them for a quote, Mr. Kelvin Nyanja was very quick to respond and answered all our questions. And we had a LOT of questions before the trip! He was patient, professional and gave us useful advice, including on a few things that were different from what we had originally planned. In the end, we were very happy that we listened to his recommendations.
The Kilimanjaro part was really special. The mountain team were fantastic and we always felt well looked after. The guides were experienced, professional and encouraging, but also friendly and easy to talk to.
Our crew leader Seba was amazing. Oscar, our chef, also deserves a big mention. We honestly don't know how he managed to cook such good food every day on the mountain! 😂 After a long day of walking, sitting down to a proper meal was something we really looked forward to.
Fadhir, Mohamed, Allan, Daniel and Jackson were also brilliant. They worked so hard and were always ready to help, usually with a smile. There was always someone around when we needed something, and the morning encouragement was especially appreciated on the days when getting out of the tent was not easy!
Summit night was obviously the biggest challenge and the highlight of the climb. It was long, cold and tiring, but we always felt safe. The guides kept checking on us and the pace was well managed. Their encouragement really helped us keep going when we were struggling.
Then came the safari, which was another great part of the trip.
We spent 6 days visiting four parks and stayed in four different hotels. Everything was well organised and the accommodations were very nice, including the food.
Our guide Reuben was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in making sure we enjoyed the safari. Every evening we would talk about the plan for the following day, and he was flexible when we wanted to change something or spend more time in a particular area.
He clearly knows the parks very well and has a good eye for wildlife. A few times he managed to get us into a great position for viewing animals while other vehicles were further away. He was also happy to help us when shopping in local markets and even helped us negotiate better prices!
One thing worth mentioning is that we actually booked Sote Tours because a friend recommended them to us after travelling with them in 2023. We were a little nervous about choosing a company we hadn't personally used before, but after doing the trip ourselves, we are very happy with the decision. We would definitely recommend Sote Tours and Travel to anyone planning Kilimanjaro and safari in Tanzania. We had a great experience and would happily travel with them again or recommend them to our friends.

perfect safari experience
The support and organisation were fantastic. All our questions were always answered, Laura was always there to help us, and the trip went exactly as we’d imagined.
The choice of hotels was also good; the food was excellent at all the accommodation, and the staff were very friendly.
What really stood out, however, was the Zebra Plain, which was truly outstanding accommodation where no detail was overlooked. And the people there were even more welcoming than at the other camps.
Finally, a few words about Bonnie, our guide. He made our trip something truly special. He was always friendly, courteous and always had a smile on his face. His warm and caring nature made the Spirit of Kenya experience perfect.
He loves what he does; he loves working for Spirit of Kenya, and as a guest, you notice that from the very first moment. If only there were more guides like Bonnie: the national parks would be an even better place, because he always treated nature with respect. And he always shared his seemingly endless knowledge with us. Simply perfect.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Spirit of Kenya, especially Laura and Bonnie.

Amazing!
We had a fantastic safari with Phine Safaris. It wasn't our first safari, but it was the first time we booked with a Kenyan organization. Phine Safaris arranged everything perfectly. We didn't have to worry about a thing—we could simply enjoy the experience, and we certainly did. I even received a lovely present as remember of the safari for my birthday. Thank you, Kinya from Phine Safaris, for everything!

From the first enquiry Dan worked tirelessly to curate the holiday of a lifetime for our family.
With three children in their early twenties we planned this holiday as a special celebration and maybe our last holiday all together as five. We have travelled a lot as a family and normally plan everything ourselves but chose to use a tour company for our safari as there is so much to organise. From the first contact Dan was friendly, helpful and efficient. Some of the accommodations that I had seen first were fully booked by the time we felt hally to confirm (in about march - book early!) but the alternatives were excellent in particular the Amani Mara Lodge in the Massai Mara which was stunning. Dan met us at the airport and introduced us to our safari guide Charles who was fantastic. We all loved his calm kindness and his absolute dedication to making sure we saw everything. Charles was so knowledgeable and clearly very experienced, while other drivers were tearing around Charles just calmly planned our drives and we saw lion, cheetah, leopard, rhino, zebra, giraffe, hippo, gazelle, wildebeest, elephant and many more including the spectacular migration across the river Mara. We spent our second week in Mombasa at a hotel of our choice at Diani Beach but Dan took care of all the booking including the train tickets. We also thoroughly recommend a quick trip round the museum in Nairobi (arranged by Dan while we waited to fly home) absolutely fascinating and well worth the visit. We would all highly recommend using Nashibe Adventures, the personal service was outstanding and we felt well looked after from start to finish.

Nelly has been an excellent tour operator and put together a fabulous tour including three safaris
We had a fabulous tour put together perfectly by Nelly. She took care of all logistics, always had a driver to meet us and at all times she took great care of us and was always ready to answer questions. She put a lot of thought into selecting the safari locations, booked the domestic flights and also some tours while we were in Cape Town and Joburg. Great communication from the initial inquiry until our final departure. Outstanding and also great value cost. Highly recommend Nelly.
