An exceptional and reasonably priced safari experience
My son and I had an exceptional safari, which was frankly much more fun and interesting than I expected. Over six days and five nights, Tarangire--Serengeti--Ngorongoro provided many memorable sights and exceptional wildlife. We had our own guide, and were surprised that there were relatively few other guests at most of the lodges and camps (which were uniformly excellent). Internet connectivity was good at the resorts, but of course not available at the tented camp. Although it was technically the start of the rainy season, we did not have any rain. Highlights included observing the birth of a hippo, sighting three cheetahs and also a mother leopard and her cubs, watching two lions attack a herd of cape buffalo, seeing six rhinos at Ngorongoro (including two who crossed just in front of our Land Rover), and driving through the middle of the Great Migration and thousands of wildebeest. Umang was very reachable, and our guide Moses was excellent. We highly recommend UBonsafari.

Amazing Affordable Luxury Safari!
There is plenty to say about Ubon Safari. They absolutely shine on service and execution and most importantly price. Let me give you a run down. A knowledgeable guide/driver will be waiting for you at the airport in our case it was Kilimanjaro. We did the Lake Manyara/Serengeti/Ngorogoro crater 3 night /4 days all at the Serena Lodges(highly recommended) and we opted for the private jeep(highly recommended). Our guides name was Phillip, he was great and knew the terrain well with over 10 years of experience. Its very important to discuss your desires with him right out of the gates so he can deliver the right safari. We wanted to see all the big animals or as they as they say the big 5. Be prepared to be tossed around as the roads can be bumpy, it is a safari after all. You will encounter an array of animals and majestic landscapes that times out shine the animals. My advice is get up early of possible wear very comfortable clothing that fits loose and have your gourmet breakfast and head out into the wild. You will have box lunches(might want to let them know what you like to eat) on the road and be at your next luxury accommodations by 5-6 pm to relax and unwind.
The Serena Lodges(free wifi)are they way to go if possible(the views are amazing!) The service level is very high and the food is top notch. Ubon will call or email you to make sure your trip is excellent and any issues are resolved. In our case it was seamless and perfect. I really feel you do not have to wait to experience a luxury safari. We are very happy we went and we will be booking another one in the near future. Ubon will make it work for anyone. Lastly animals are unpredictable be patient and it will happen. Hakuna Matata- Don't worry, be happy!
makes your dreams come true. The service from booking till the end of safari was good
Awesome service always kept in touch thanks to umang u r a champ
An experience to remember
If you love wild animals, are grateful for dedicated guides who will find them for you and you like wide open spaces to see animals in their habitat not in zoo cages, UB On Safari is a good choice. At the Serengeti where you can see for miles and watch the gazelles jump, understand why elderly male elephants travel solo and see cats because your guide might be really good...he'll find that cheetah that no one else could find! At the Ngorongoro Crater while tighter in space you have the humrous experience of watching people watch animals.....part of the safari experience for sure. A super plus of UB On Safari is that they let you travel alone, not with strangers...Lodging was wonderful, meals for me the vegetarian, were exquisite and my meat-eating husband actually enjoyed the vegetables so much he ate very little meat. A great experience, if you are looking to see Africa in five or fifteen days.

Amazing game view in Ruaha
We were met by Michael at the Airstrip of Iringa and driven to Ruaha. Michael was an excellent driver and guide. He knows a lot about the animals. It was both fun and interesting to discuss with him the differences between Tanzania and the Western society and culture.
Besides he is very friendly and obliging!
After getting back to Iringa, we were taken by George to Mbeya. He is a very safe driver!
I can highly recommend UB On Safari! Be sure, they want you to live an experience of a lifetime and are happy to make flexible changes if you wish so.

Great experience in Tanzania Southern Parks
Tour well organized in really beautiful places. Strong and comfortable car, prudent driver. The managers carefully followed us but with discretion. No problems at all.
The only remark, so as I have experienced even in other trips in Tanzania, is that guides have not so much knowledge about the wildlife, just sufficient.
mind blowing, awesome and very personalised tailored to suit you and you family
Beena and Umang the tour directors are very enthusiastic and genuinely want you to have a fantastic experience. This helps immensely as it takes the stress off the tour and you can relax that you are in best hands.
Communication with how you are getting on and any other personal needs such as a sim card, advise on shopping locally is always at hand.
Selection of the safari parks which can fit into your budget as well as their recommendation about balloon safari made our trip memorable.
The safari guide is very well experienced and makes sure you enjoy and get to see some memorable animal life including lions chasing buffalos and hyenas feasting on a zebra and lion preying on a gazelle.
watching animals in their own home at such close quarters with wild life was unthinkable for me and my family but upon safari made it a reality safely, comfortably and enjoyably
I would highly recommend you to book upon safari for a very well priced high quality tour.

UB on Safari arranged a holiday perfectly suited to our tastes and which was thoroughly enjoyable.
We were looking for a different sort of holiday centered in southern Tanzania and found UB on Safari catering to that area. They seemed to know exactly what we were looking for and arranged a trip with several elements: a nostalgic visit to Mbeya, staying in the very comfortable Hill View Hotel; a game park experience where we really enjoyed the tented camp, Tandala , and finishing off with a few wonderful days on Lake Tanganyika at Lake Shore Lodge - all highly recommended accommodations. The Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam was also a great choice of a place to pass through coming and going.
I would really like to thank UB on Safari for providing us with first class drivers and an amazingly well informed game park guide, all amounting to a wonderful holiday.
