An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! Everything was perfectly organized and our guide, Brian, made the trip truly unforgettable. He went above and beyond to accommodate all our wishes, worked incredibly hard to show us as much wildlife as possible, and shared his impressive knowledge of the animals and the parks throughout the entire trip.
One of the absolute highlights was witnessing a cheetah hunt that ended successfully – an incredible and unforgettable moment! Another magical experience was watching the sunset with elephants nearby.
The entire safari was well organized from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A huge thank you to Brian for making this trip so special!
We would highly recommend this safari to everyone and would book it again without hesitation!

Professional and delivered exactly as they promised.
We chose Uwanda based on their excellent reviews and value of their itineraries.
We chose their 8 day Safari visiting Mikumi, Ruaha, Udzungwa Forest and Nyerere. Communication before our booking was very good and they were happy to amend the suggested itinerary by spending a night at Udzungwa Forest Reserve rather than the proposed overnight stay in Morogoro. This did involve a much longer drive ( all day) to Nyerere and a slight change in doing our boat Safari and Bush Walk in Nyerere on the last morning before driving back to Dar Es Salaam.
Our driver and guide Ahmad Bakuru was friendly and always punctual. He was a very safe driver and knowledgeable about the wildlife that we saw.
Our first stop was Mikumi staying at Camp Bastion which exceeded our expectations in terms of accommodation. The afternoon game drive was a lovely introduction seeing Elephants Hippos as well as the usual game.
Following morning we drove to Ruaha Hilltop Lodge which again was very comfortable. We spent 3 nights here doing 2 full day safari in Ruaha. The vistas were amazing and we saw lots of wildlife including Lions on a Buffalo kill.
We then drove to Udzwunga Forest Reserve staying at Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp. We did a short hike to a lovely waterfall seeing Black and White Colobus Monkey as well as the endemic Red Colobus Monkey. We were even more delighted to see the Red Colobus Monkey again right in front of our tent in the evening and again the following morning.
Our final stay was at Selous Safari Lodge which again was very nice. We did a full day safari in Nyerere and were lucky to see Lions, Wild Dogs and Hyenas.
On the final morning we did a Bush Walk learning about animal tracks and how our ancestors survived in the bush. Finally we ended our safari with a boat trip on the Rufiji seeing Hippos up close and numerous colourful birds.
Ahmed then drove us back to our Hotel in Dar Es Salaam.
In conclusion we experienced a fantastic 8 days and we thank Uwanda and particularly Ahmad for delivering a great value Safari that exceeded our expectations.
Thank you.

Overall good experience but with some bumps
The safari and game drives were great! We got lucky and witnessed two lions hunt a buffalo! I saw lots of animals in their natural habitat and the tour guide, Gerald, did a great job in explaining the species and dynamics of the animal kingdom. I was a solo female traveler and requested to be in a group of other females, which the operator was able to arrange. I felt very safe throughout the trip. Now to highlight some feedback I have for the operator. I got a mid-range package and was disappointed in my stay at the initial lodge, Summit Safari Lodge. It was a terrible experience. My first room smelled like heavy cleaning products with perfume that I couldn’t go to sleep, so I requested a second one which was only slightly better. The hot water was limited and no mosquito nets. Another poor experience was that I got food poisoning at one of the camp lodges and had to skip one day of full game drive. I bought a 5 day package and only did 4 days of game drive and granted a good amount of time is driving to the destination, so was pretty sad about that. Wish the whole system was stricter on food quality protocols. Overall, I did have lots of fun and the people were great!

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari
Just returned from a 5-day safari in Tanzania with Ozon Light Tours and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.
Pre-trip planning: From the very first email to the moment we landed, Deus Michael handled everything with great patience and professionalism. When our inbound flight was delayed and we had to rearrange Day 1 on short notice, he responded quickly, kept us updated, and made sure the revised plan worked smoothly. Every question — meals, refunds, insurance, airport pickup — was answered clearly and promptly.
Safari: We were lucky enough to see the Big 5. The most magical part was those moments of discovery — spotting a leopard in a tree, watching elephants cross the plain, or catching sight of a rhino in the distance. Every sighting felt like a reward, and our guide knew exactly where to look and when.
Our guide Godlisten: He made the trip truly special. Godlisten is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. His bird identification skills are outstanding. We learned so much from him, not just about wildlife but about the whole ecosystem. If you get Godlisten as your guide, you're in the very best hands.
Thank you, Ozon Light Tours, for an unforgettable safari. Highly recommended!

Amazing Safari with unforgettable memories and experiences!
We went on the 7 day Safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National park. The trip was simply amazing! Everything was organized very professionally from the pick up in Nairobi all the way to the drop off in the end. Accommodations and meals were all taken care of as described and we had no issues.
Our driver for the seven days was Castro and we couldn't have asked for a better driver. He was very friendly and funny and definitely added to the fun and laughter we had during our trip. Furthermore he is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and region and happily shared his knowledge with all of us. He made sure to spend as much time as possible in the parks with us to make sure we could see as much wildlife as possible. He also managed to always get us into the perfect spot so that we had the best views on the animals even with the other cars around us.
His driving skills were great! Very professional and safe whilst also always getting the best spots.
Overall we had an amazing time and unforgettable memories! We highly recommend perfect safaris and Castro as your guide! Asante sana for everything
