Amazing experience crossing Kenya,
Our 6-day safari in Kenya was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent.
Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. He made a real effort to find wildlife while respecting the animals and their environment. We were lucky enough to see lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and many other species in their natural habitat. Every day brought something new and exciting.
The Land Cruiser was comfortable, and the safari experience felt personal and well managed. The landscapes of the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli were absolutely spectacular.
I would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic African wildlife experience. Kenya is truly a magical destination, and this trip gave us memories that we will never forget.

Our operator crafted a unique safari experience that met exactly what we were looking for and more!
We were referred to Discover Africa to book our honeymoon safari by friends who had used them previously and spoke very highly of them and we could not have been happier. We worked with Susan and Adelle and they listened to what we were thinking in regards to amount and types of adventures vs. leisure, settings, and budget and helped craft a great itinerary that made our honeymoon so special. They listened to what we wanted and gave advice when needed to help build this trip together.
We spent 4 days in Zanzibar at a hotel of their recommendation and it was the perfect way to start the trip coming right from the wedding. We then spent 8 nights on Safari and it was everything we could ever dreamed of. We had a private guide, Charmy, for 2 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater and he was one of the highlights of our trip. He was so welcoming, knowledgeable about the animals/environment, and was so easy to connect with that he instantly made us comfortable and excited about the trip. He listened to us and what we were hoping to see and also recommended and made it a personal experience that was so memorable. We couldn't recommend Charmy more to anyone coming on a Safari. He was a perfect guide.
The second 4 days we were in the Northern Serengeti with a different guide, Habib, and had an equally amazing and different experience than the other 3 locations. We learned so much from Habib and Victor about the Great Migration, the habitats and habits of the animals that live on the savannah and really came away with incredible memories and knowledge. It was a phenomenal 4 days here.
The travel, transfers, and communication was seamless and allowed us to travel with ease around the 5 different locations on our 12 night trip. The Discover Africa team was there to help make it as easy for us to enjoy this trip as possible and they succeeded. Thank you!

Safari.com was efficient and reliable.
The trip was wonderful! Shann, our point of contact, was extremely efficient, communicative and thorough. We enjoyed the safaris very much, both morning and evening. The value was great, as everything was as coordinated for us, giving us peace of mind. The guide Ruan and his tracker, Lucky, were both very friendly and informative. Please do not hesitate to book at the Umkumbe Bush Lodge.

Fantastic Safari with an Excellent Guide
We had an unforgettable 6-day safari with Ozon Light Tours, visiting Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we came home with memories that we will never forget.
Our guide, Elijah, was fantastic. His positive attitude, great sense of humour and enthusiasm made every day enjoyable. He is also an excellent driver, and his knowledge and experience meant that we had so many incredible animal encounters. From the big highlights to the smaller moments, we always felt that we were in very good hands.
The lodges and camps we stayed at were excellent, and we were very happy with the quality and variety of the accommodation throughout the safari.
We booked Ozon Light Tours through SafariBookings, and the entire booking process was clear and straightforward. Communication with Ozon before the trip was excellent. We had plenty of questions and requests in the weeks leading up to our safari, and our contact, Letson, was very helpful, responsive and accommodating.
A special thank you to Elijah for making our safari so memorable, and to Letson and the team at Ozon Light Tours for organising everything so smoothly.
We would highly recommend both Elijah and Ozon Light Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Jonas is vry trustworthy,reliable,always accommodating your requiremnts n needs,vry warm n welcoming
Hey Jonas, hope you’re doing well! ❤️
I wanted to take some time to write a detailed review of our overall experience with you and the team.
Firstly, thank you so much for being patient with us and for making an effort to accommodate all our requirements and dietary restrictions throughout the trip. We really appreciated your willingness to customise the itinerary according to our needs and preferences.
We were lucky enough to witness 4 of the Big 5 during our safari! We unfortunately missed spotting the leopard and cheetahs, but I guess that just gives us another reason to come back to Tanzania someday. 😄 Overall, we had a wonderful experience and created some really special memories.
Everything was very well planned and organised. We had discussed our route, accommodations and itinerary beforehand, and you also guided us with additional information and suggestions. This helped us put together an itinerary that was smooth, practical and efficient, without feeling unnecessarily rushed.
Since we were a group of 5 adults and 1 child (7 years old), all women, safety and security were naturally one of our biggest concerns. I’m happy to say that we never felt unsafe or uncomfortable at any point during our journey. That gave us a great sense of comfort and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the trip.
Another thing we really appreciated was how our dietary requirements were handled. We are vegetarians, and despite this, we never had any major issues with food. We were served some genuinely good vegetarian options throughout the trip, and we were very grateful for the effort made to accommodate us.
There were, however, a few small things that we felt could have been handled better.
At the time of booking, we had specifically mentioned that we wanted Peter to accompany us for the safari, so we were a little disappointed that we weren’t informed in advance about the change of guide. We only came to know about the change once the safari had already started. A little communication beforehand would have made things much smoother.
We were also told that we would have two binoculars, but we were provided with only one for the entire group to share. Unfortunately, the quality of the binoculars wasn’t very good either, which made it difficult for everyone to properly enjoy some of the wildlife sightings.
The Maasai village visit was another small disappointment. It had been mentioned as part of our itinerary, but unfortunately our guide seemed unaware of it. We had to bring it up ourselves and show him the booking details, after which he took some time to reconfirm it with the company. Since this was something we had already discussed and were looking forward to, it would have been better if the guide had been fully briefed beforehand.
Our guide, Mr. Ben, was very sweet and polite, and we appreciated his friendly nature. However, we felt that he could have been stronger when it came to sharing information about the animal kingdom, explaining animal behaviour and actively helping with wildlife spotting. For a safari experience, having a guide who is particularly knowledgeable and proactive about these aspects can make a big difference.
Apart from these few points, we genuinely had a wonderful experience with you and the entire team. ❤️
I would definitely recommend you to anyone planning to explore Tanzania, particularly because of your willingness to customise and tailor itineraries according to individual requirements. I think that is a great advantage and something that really stood out to us.
My only suggestion to future travellers would be to communicate all your requirements clearly from the very beginning and make sure that everything you have discussed is properly mentioned in the booking details. Communication can sometimes take a little longer than expected, but overall, we found you trustworthy, reliable and accommodating.
Thank you once again, Jonas, for helping make our Tanzania journey such a memorable one. Despite the few small things that could have been better, we truly enjoyed our trip and came back with some beautiful memories. ❤️
And who knows… maybe we’ll be back one day to finally find that leopard and cheetah 🐆😄
Thank you once again to you and the entire team! ❤️

Our tour operator really was the BEST!
From the beginning all of our communication was clear, concise, professional and timely. Our tour guide, Jannet, was easily available to us and kept in touch with us even when not actually doing an activity. The price was very reasonable considering all of the activities and lodgings included. We particularly loved Kabakwe Lodge in Victoria Falls!
We planned to arrive there 2 nights early to do a few things and just relax before the safari and even then she organized a Boma dinner show for us and took us to Zambia for a day trip safari👍
She was very knowledgeable about the area and really did go out of her way to make this bucket list trip very special!

Hermosa Life consist of an excellent team guaranteed to make your trip to Rwanda memorable
Hermosa Life crafted an excellent itinerary which both suited my interests and my budget. They were very prompt to reply to any query I had and were very helpful with helping me find medical help, when I faced a health issue during my trip. Abou, my driver guide, was amazing and I felt I was exploring Rwanda with a good friend. He was professional, polite, friendly and very attentive. I cannot recommend Hermosa Life more and would book a trip with them again in a heartbeat.

Amazing trip, wonderful customized safari
Ramja Safari came through with their custom-fit trip itinerary for our safari in Kenya. Steve - the owner of- and Patrick - our driver and guide - did a wonderful job at providing us with everything and more than we set to expect from this unique experience. From the parks/reserves that were booked for us, the accommodations for luxury resorts and camps to the actual hour-by-hour and day-by-day dedication from our knowledgeable and disciplined guide and driver Patrick. His commitment to us on having the best experience and seeing close-up of all the animals (ie The Big Five and more, multiple times!) living in the savannah was exceptional. Ramja books a custom and private tour for each need and giving them enough time before your scheduled trip will ensure excellent accommodation bookings. They are professionals with Five Gold Stars. Thank you, Ramja Safaris! We’ll be back.

Very thrust full.
The experience was incredible. The service was excellent, everything was on time, and they always responded quickly. We were treated very well and felt safe throughout the entire experience.
Without a doubt, it was the best experience of our trip. The animals, the tours, and the guides all exceeded our expectations. The number and variety of animals you get to see is simply incredible. We would definitely recommend this experience!
