Daniel is the Man
I did a ten day safari with Clarity. I can’t speak for their other guides. My experience was only with Daniel, and he was fabulous. My suggestion is that whatever operator you use, you make sure you have a guide you like and who understands you and your needs. Regardless of what any tour operator or guide might tell you, there are no guarantees. But, if you are going to Serengeti you have a high probability of seeing many things. And, obviously, the longer you stay, the more you are likely to see. I saw a lot and I’m very happy. I liked all the accommodations but one, The Untamed Mitigation Camp. Avoid it. Don’t expect a lot from the food regardless of where you stay. The cuts of meat and chicken will be overcooked and dried out. Opt for the slow cooked meat dishes. There often were Indian style foods to which I gravitated. The service at all the accommodations was friendly and responsive. Clarity was very responsive when I was planning the trip. They were easy to work with. But again, the guide is critical, and I had a great one.

Ozon Light Tours is a highly professional, flexible, and reliable safari operator
One of the Best Travel Experiences of Our Lives
Our family of four recently completed a 10-day safari with Ozon Light Tours, and it was easily one of the best trips we have ever taken.
From the very beginning, Clinton provided excellent communication. He was always quick to respond, flexible when our flights changed, and made every transfer and accommodation arrangement effortless.
Our guide, Richard, deserves special recognition. He is highly knowledgeable about Tanzania's wildlife, national parks, birds, and ecosystems. More importantly, he has an incredible ability to locate animals and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for wildlife photography while respecting both the animals and other safari vehicles.
One of the highlights of our trip was witnessing the Great Migration crossing the Mara River. We also saw lions, cheetahs with cubs, serval, black rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many other incredible species.
The accommodations were excellent throughout the journey, especially the luxury camps in Serengeti, which allowed us to experience the sounds and atmosphere of the African wilderness while enjoying comfortable facilities.
This safari was far more than just seeing animals—it was an unforgettable experience of nature at its finest.
We would highly recommend Ozon Light Tours to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and well-organized safari company in Tanzania.
Thank you again to Clinton, Richard, and the entire Ozon team for making this dream trip a reality. 🌍🦁🐘🦏

I highly recommend Trav-Interactive to anyone looking for a reliable tour operator that delivers exceptional service and creates lasting memories. I would gladly travel with them again.

We agree with all the other guides who told us we were lucky because Meru Slopes were the best.
We booked Meru Slopes directly after reading reviews about them on Safari Bookings. We emailed the company and Gift Tembo replied within an hour asking when and what we were looking for.
Our experience from there was fantastic. Gift adjusted our itinerary continually as we fine tuned travel to and from Tanzania.
In the end they organised an 8 day personal tour - just the 2 of us and a guide. The value for money was wonderful compared to pricing we’d when first investigating a Safari holiday.
Meru Slopes covered everything - meeting our 4am arrival flight, organising an early check in that day so we could sleep and recover, and then doing a late briefing about the Safari.
The Safari was everything we had hoped for and more. Our guide, Daniel Mbise was fantastic - taking us away from the crowds and finding so many animals and birds for us to enjoy - often the only cruiser stopped by the roadside. His chats about animal and bird behaviour were sensational - proving time and time again to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of what we were looking at and were they fitted into the local environment.
And at the end of each day, the accommodation provided was lovely. Mid quality according to Gift, but excellent quality was our experience.
In summary, if you’re thinking about organising a Safari holiday, take the plunge. Contact Meru Slopes and book direct. You won’t be disappointed.
Humphrey made the experience amazing !!
We absolutely got our moneys worth with Avocet safaris. Out tour guide Humphrey was the absolute BEST tour guide you could ask for. He was so knowledgable about animals/directions and so welcoming. The company really looked after us. The range of animals we saw was incredible and the whole 5 days was amazing not just one day. I would highly recommend !!

A kind soul who shares his love for Tanzania with genuine passion.
Shedrack is a truly wonderful person. From the very beginning, he was always attentive to everything we needed, always smiling, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
You can immediately see how much he loves Tanzania and how passionate he is about sharing that love with everyone who visits. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and dedication made our safari even more special.
Everything went incredibly smoothly. The timing was perfect, every stop was well planned, and he always seemed to know exactly where to take us to maximize our chances of seeing the animals. Everything fell perfectly into place, making the whole experience feel effortless and unforgettable.
Thank you, Shedrack, for making this trip so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Wishing you all the very best for the future—you truly deserve it!

An amazing experience of the wonders of Tanzanian tribes and wildlife in Serengeti nd anAfric
From the first encounter, our knowledgeable guides, Dominic and Alfred, ensured the total success of our 12 member family trip. From the start, their extensive knowledge, friendliness, patience and humor made all the difference. They ensured we saw every one of the BIG FIVE close up, adjacent to our jeeps, in addition to all the other animals. As ex-South Africans, having been to other wildlife parks previously, the expertise of Dominic and Alfred was THE major reason why everyone found the tour so ENTHRALLING. Each day had different highlights, with interest and information about all the wildlife and the tribes. The well-planned itinerary with personal input, attention to every detail and daily contact with Karin of Tansafari Tours, ensured that every aspect of each day was exactly as had been anticipated.
There was absolutely nothing more that could been wished for or added, except for addition days. Everyone of us returned from Serengeti and Ngorongoro entranced with the outstanding experience and the personal interaction of Dominic and Alfred with all of us - ranging in age from 9-85 years old. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable safari, better than we had even imagined. The combination of the wildlife and the tribes provided a comprehensive exposure to Tanzania. All of us appreciated the professional and friendly and enthusiastic care that Dominic and Alfred so naturally gave. We were sad to take leave of THE DYNAMIC DUO at the airport. A short, luxurious stay at prominent Zanzibar beach resort concluded this exceptional trip.

A professional and genuinely caring tour operator that made our safari an unforgettable experience
Our safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Amos.
From the very first day, Amos made us feel comfortable and welcome. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. His knowledge of the wildlife was amazing—he explained the behavior of the animals, shared fascinating facts, and made every game drive both exciting and educational.
He also had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw so many amazing animals and had experiences we will never forget. Beyond being an excellent guide, Amos was simply great company. We genuinely enjoyed spending time with him, and his positive attitude made every day even more enjoyable.
Axis Africa organized everything perfectly, but Amos truly made this safari special. If you have the chance to go on a safari with him, you are very lucky. We highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris and especially our guide, Amos. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Superb from start to finish!
I didn’t know anything about safari booking and so spent ages trying to work out how best to book a safari. In the end I came across Axis and have to say their service was excellent. Their communication about possible options was well laid out and they were very responsive to the very many questions I had. They only take a small deposit too, which was really helpful.
The Safari itself was amazing!! We stayed at Wild Nest which was lovely. Large rooms, amazing food and wonderful hosts. But the best part was our guide, Tony. If you are fortunate enough to have him, you’re in for a real treat! He knows so much and his ability to navigate the Masai Mara was unbelievable. We saw the big 5 and the ugly 5. He went out of his way to find the best places possible to view animals and scenery. He was superb! We were also placed on a shared tour with some really lovely people who we really enjoyed spending time with too.
