Great time at Ruaha National Park
I had the pleasure of working with UBON Safari Limited to plan a trip for 15 people to Tanzania this summer. We spent 3 days at Ruaha National Park and had a wonderful safari experience seeing many elephants, lions, baboons, and hippos. Ruaha is a large park but not crowded so you didn't feel like you were at Disneyland with hundreds of other people. The Ruaha River was beautiful and the animals were frequently at the river due to the dry season. We all thought the Ruaha River Lodge was delightful. We enjoyed the food, the banyas and watching/listening the animals on the river.

4 day safari
I would recommend Ubon safaris. The staff were in contact regularly to ensure I was comfortable every step of the way and went out of their way to ensure I had the best lodges, tour guide, 4 wheel drive and general service I could have (sourced locally via Sunny Safari).
Umang in particular was very helpful; he found me a safari that met my budget and ensured I visited the parks that had the most wildlife to see within the timeframe I had.

We could not imagine a better experience..
Their professionalism, their extensive knowledge of the places we visited, and their dedication with discretion throughout the journey to be informed about us, define Umang and Beena, Ubon Safari as the ideal travel agency to organize the perfect safari trip.

Very well organized
We had an exceptional adventure planned with UBON Safari's and they handled it with such ease, we didn't have a single hiccup. Everything we asked for, we got with no questions. Mr Umang himself was even involved, checking on us along the way and updating our families when we didn't have phone service. Our safari was handled extremely hands-on but gave us enough room to have an amazing time. I will definitely use them in the future.

It was a great experience. We got more then we expected. We all accomplished our goal in style.
It was all excellent and would definitely use UBON for all our future travel bookings.
Top notch
This was the second time I have used ubon safaris for a Tanzanian expedition. From the start Umang made everything very easy for us. Always accessible, flexible to changes we made after our bookings and got us the best possible services. Umang even went out of his way to keep our families posted through out our tour from places where cell phone signals were not reachable. He made communication very easy and took care of all unforeseeable ground issues as well. We would like to thank him for organizing one of the best tours for us. Exceeded all expectations!!

The service was perfect, oversight tremendous, and people were thoughtful and knowledgeable.
Never have traveled with a company that managed every detail with such detail. I always felt safe, supervised, and cared for by all the staff; guides, transporters and, supervisors.

This was a trip of a life-time.
This was an adventure that exceeded my expectations. Umang was in constant contact with our guide to ensure we were enjoying the trip and had all our needs met. I have already recommended this tour to relatives and friends.

Superb! Amazing! Exceptional! Fabulous!
UBON Safari's Umang and Beena organized a breath taking and mind-blowing African Safari and Taznania tour for us. From the moment I contacted Umang to the time we got home, they provided us with impeccable and " platinum" level care, attention, and customer service. They truly are masters of safaris and planning! We are in awe of their attention to detail and customer service. UBON Safari company is a gem and will be using them again most definitely. Umang and Beena, YOU GUYS ROCK!!

...as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti...
Our journey started with a simple email enquiry which resulted in an immediate response from yourself. This resulted in a lengthy telephone conversation, which convinced me that you were the one to organise our family trip for us in Tanzania. I had spoken to other operators previously but it was a chance conversation with a mutual friend that led me to you.
The safari is now over, but what a wonderful experience. This trip was the culmination of several exchanges between you and us, fine tuning the trip until it was perfected. Our dealings with you could not have been any smoother nor any more transparent. I am grateful to you for overseeing every aspect of this journey, even before we left. I was very surprised to have you call us when we landed in Arusha, ensuring our safe arrival and pick up with your local operators. I was even more grateful for you to have kept in touch with us throughout our seven days on Safari. We have travelled far and wide and have never had anybody check to see how our trips have been progressing en route!
You were aware that I was a keen photographer and you more than fulfilled your promise that you would provide your preferred travelling companion for us. It is thanks to Moses, your chosen guide and tracker, ( and also a very safe and considerate driver ) that I managed to capture so many amazing photographs of the game in all the parks, especially Serengeti, that we visited. He knew exactly where to go and his anticipation was incredible. We seemed to be more often in the right place at the right time than not, often on our own and then, of course, all the other operators’ jeeps would arrive. Highlights included a lioness preparing for and the executing a hunt on a herd of gazelles, albeit unsuccessfully, the crocodile devouring a baby zebra that had strayed into its water and the leopard feasting on its kill in the tree! You would have seen this from some of the photos and video I have sent you. Many more to follow.
Your choice of lodges was also spot on based on our requirements. The Serena Lodges take a lot of beating for overall service and value. And thank you for organising the surprise cake and celebrations at the Ngorogoro Serena Lodge for my wife’s 50th and my son’s 21st birthdays while we were on safari. This was completely unexpected!
I would like to thank you and Beena for organising this incredible trip. There was not any aspect that could have been organised any better. I will be in touch for our next trip to this amazing continent. In the meantime, keep well.
