Best climbing experience as our first time, one of the best to book Kili Slope Tours.
7 day Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route with Suma, at Kili Slope Tours. Suma was a very professional hiker he always inspired us, his explanation was inspiration we were confident. We were very satisfied with the whole Kili team, they were very responsible and helpful. They made our trek easy to memorable. The mountain teaches without speaking. We learn how altitude changes everything, appetite, sleep, mood, and time perception. We learn the value of slow acclimatization and why the Lemosho Route is respected for its design. We learn that weather doesn't announce itself-it shifts quietly and demands adaptation. The mountain remains, the shift happens within. We definitely recommend the Lemosho Route.

They are reliable, helpful and super professional
Decided to spoil my girlfriend with a trip to the Kruger and I am so glad I decided to go through Big Bull Safaris. Just want to say a special thank you to Mike and his team who really put in a huge effort to help us pick the best spots to visit and took great care of us throughout our time in ZA! The booking process was zero-faff and straightforward - we knew we were in good hands.

Passionate and caring!
We contacted Khalanga Safaris to see if they could take our team to the Kruger Park, some of whom had never been. From the get go Thamia at Khalanga was fantastic. On the day Shoes and Doc, our two guides collected us from the accommodation and took the team on an unforgettable experience, sharing their knowledge and immense passion. Thank you so much for making it such a fantastic trip. Everyone loved it. Thank you

Amaizing!
It was an incredible 7 days! Everything was very well organized and monitored. Our guide Rubel was always very attentive to our needs and preferences, and our driver Taye was excellent and attentive. Ethiopia is an amazing country and the people are always friendly and hospitable. Without a doubt, a memorable experience!

Jema Safaris has been fantastic from start to finish.
Jema Safaris has provided us with an experience that goes beyond our wildest expectations. We decided to book our safari ourselves and Jema worked with us from afar to customize our trip with attention to our budget and our interests. Our guide, Hassan, has proved invaluable: he is steady, thoughtful, good humored, well informed, and an excellent driver. It is a pleasure to spend a week with him. He has taught us so much both about nature and culture in Tanzania. We will certainly travel with Jema when we come back!

Wonderful trip at Safri with "Elijah" the best guide
Our recent trip with "Elijah" was absolutely fantastic.
We visited Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area over 5 nights and 6 days, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five and the Ugly Five, and we were able to fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of the safari.
All schedules were well organized and always on time, and the locations and conditions of the accommodations were excellent.
Our guide, "Elijah", was incredibly kind and highly knowledgeable about safari life. He knew the names of all the animals and birds and explained their behaviors and characteristics in detail, which made our safari experience even richer and more meaningful. Elijah always kept a smile on his face and entertained us with his positive attitude and well-timed humor, making the journey even more enjoyable.
If we ever visit safari again, we would love to travel once more with Elijah from Ozon Light Tour.

A wild safari experience with Rafiki Tembo Tours & Safari - such a helpful and accommodating team.
We had an incredible safari with Rafiki Tembo Tours & Safaris. Being out in the wild was an unbelievable experience, and Rafiki and the drivers were very accommodating, happy to adjust the itinerary to suit what we wanted to see, including flexible start times for safari drives.
Be mindful when doing the safari tours - it’s mainly safari obviously but hear me out. We did Kenya, Tanzania, then Zanzibar Island, and while it was incredible, we wish we had allocated more time in Zanzibar to relax. You spend a good minimum of 8 hours per day in the car, and transfers between locations are around 4.5 hours, but you get to experience so many different places. Popping the roof for game drives is amazing, but next time we’d plan more downtime to enjoy the accommodation spots rather than arriving at night and missing some of the views because believe me you will see everything (the big 5) so dont tire yourself doing 10 hour + driving days to see everything because you will see everything in time so enjoy your holiday and relax.
Our favorite accommodations were:
Kenya
Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge – the view from the bedroom and dining area alone was worth the trip, we only stayed one night and wish we stayed longer.
Tanzania
The Safari Haven – incredible to be right in and amongst the nature. Rooms were massive and food was great.
The Farm of Dreams Lodge – my personal favorite. The pool, the vibe and was just overall the best place to stay.
Zanzibar island
Tembo House Hotel and Apartments – beautiful structure and architecture.
Nungwi Dreams by Mantis – absolutely stunning, right on the beach with infinity pools; somewhere truly special.
Favourite Game drives/ Activities:
Masai Mara National Reserve - Saw every inch of this place, had our biggest days here and was incredible. Saw 4/5 of the big 5 here.
Serengeti National Park- Best for seeing different landscapes and rivers - the whole package in my opinion
Ngorongoro Crater - So scenic and had amazing views.
It was also our anniversary, and Rafiki organized a sweet surprise with a tyre cover on the back of our jeep that read “Rafiki Tours – Happy Anniversary.” They also arranged a full day in Zanzibar tailored to our interests, including the Salaam Cave, turtle experience, and a Dhow sunset cruise, all at no extra cost. Their generosity and attention to detail made this trip truly unforgettable.
A note on tipping: the package recommends tipping the driver (around $10 USD per person per day). On our Tanzania trip, there was an extra person with the vehicle who didn’t drive until a couple hours at the end. Make sure to mention when booking if you don’t want an extra person (not needed) as it felt odd having to tip someone who wasn’t actually driving or share the driver’s tip. Rafiki were very supportive and resolved the situation professionally, but it’s something to be aware of.
The package includes only tea and coffee. Clever as it said non alcoholic drinks but we thought water and soft drink/soda would be a part of the package and it wasnt which is okay just a heads up. Some lodges provided bottled water in rooms or at the table, while others didn’t, so be mindful. The drivers had eskys in their cars to chill drinks; our Kenya driver had water for us, and our Tanzania driver even had soft drinks and beers, which was lovely.
We’re so glad we went private with just my husband and I in our own 4x4 Land Cruiser. It was insane and absolutely worth the extra cost, the freedom and privacy made the experience unforgettable.
Overall, communication, organization, and support from Rafiki Tembo were excellent, making this once-in-a-lifetime holiday truly memorable.

Thank you for creating such wonderful memories for us.
Thanks to Ozonelight, we had an amazing experience. We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon, and it is something we will never forget for the rest of our lives. Thanks to our guide, Elijh, we were able to learn a lot about various animals and plants. Not only that, he took great care of us and made sure we were always safe, for which we are truly grateful.
Thank you for creating such wonderful memories for us. If we ever visit again, we will definitely choose Ozonelight again.
This was the most fun trip we have ever experienced, and we don’t think any future trip could be better than this.
Thank you, Elijh.
