Fantastic Experience with Dicklack
We had the pleasure of doing a week long safari with Dicklack who was the perfect guide for our first time in Tanzania. His knowledge of all the parks was very deep and knew exactly how to spot and track all the animals. His knowledge allowed us to see all of the Big 5 along with the great migration.
I highly recommend following the times he suggests for game drives to increase the chances of seeing all the animals you want. His personality is very friendly and engaging and does an excellent job on answering any questions you have. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience for my family and would highly recommend Dicklack for anyone looking to book with Ozon Light Tours.

Amazing Safari Experience in Tanzania
The highlight is the Serengeti Smile operated a great safari where we got to see an incredible number of animals and had great accommodations.
I will note that most all tour companies are probably similar in that most guides we talked to were friendly, knowledgeable, and good drivers. Our driver, Reginald, was excellent in those ways. In addition, he was also always looking out for others, helping to fix other jeeps. Thatβs the kind of good karma you should want in a driver! They also are connected to the Serengeti Classic View Camp, which was incredibly hospitable and was so nice in celebrating our honeymoon. Iβm sure most tour companies are great, but I can say with certainty that Serengeti Smile is fantastic and is a great choice for a Tanzanian safari!

trip of a lifetime
trip of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!
We had the most amazing trip with nathan and elyson adventures!!! I cannot recommend choosing their safari company enough.
First off, Nathan was extremely communicative in tailoring a safari that perfectly matched our needs. We had a big group and he was able to accommodate all of us easily, including shifting plans. We were first introduced to him by a friend.
They recommended a great trip that included 9 days in Uganda and a week in tanzania. Uganda is extremely underrated β I cannot believe more people are not coming here for vacation. Everyone we met was extremely hospitable, excited to show us around, and conveniently, spoke excellent English. There were very few tourists and many of the activities were more hands-on and flexible compared to our game drives in Tanzania. This included a rhino trek, walking with giraffes and zebras, and of course, a chimp and gorilla trek.
The chimp and gorilla trek were obvious highlights. Both felt like once in a lifetime experiences: waiting in the rainforest for the chimps to come down and then following their path, or climbing through the steep, muddy Bwindi forest, as the guides hacked away trees with machetes so we could have a better view. these experiences were indescribably cool!!!
Tanzania was also a beautiful country, with game drives, the serengeti, and the great migration. Our group felt very fortunate that we were able to travel both countries and experience all they had to offer.
The lodges were great, the food was delicious, and Nathan was incredibly well-informed. He went above and beyond as a tour guide to get us closer to the animals or have the best experience. We all really enjoyed our trip with him and cannot recommend elyson adventures enough.
for those travelers seeking adventure, unique experiences, and travel to an organic and authentic destination, please book with elyson adventures and enjoy your safari!!!

Highly recommended from start to finish
We had a fantastic safari with Imara. Right from the start the team was easy and straight-forward to deal with.
Our guide/driver was excellent (thanks so much Tony!), managed to find every animal on our wishlist, and made sure we enjoyed the whole trip.
We were a group of 3 and did a private safari. This gave us a lot more flexibility about where to go, which animals to search for etc, and our guide (Tony) was always adjusting the plan make sure we had the best experience.
Covering our 'spotting wishlist' was fantastic, but Tony was always working to ensure we got better views and up-close experience with our favourites. That made all the difference to how much we enjoyed the safari.
I'd definitely recommend Imara, and we would happily book our next safari through them.

We're like friends!
We were from Japan.
Our 2-night, 3-day route took us to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.
It was my first time camping in a tent in Africa!
We were able to see all five of the Big Five thanks to our driver!
We even saw a lion eating a zebra!
Wild cheetahs! So cool!
What excited me the most was the warthog, one of the Ugly Five! ! ! So cute π©·
Zebras ran right next to our tent, and we could clearly hear them eating grass. Hyenas were walking around at night. The distance was incredible! ! ! !
Our guide/driver said, "No fences, no security!" and that was so true!
We had a cook with us, so lunch in the savanna was an unforgettable experience.
Charging our cell phones and cameras was easy in the safari car, which was reassuring.
You can also charge them at the lodge, but it's difficult because there are other tour groups there.
The toilets were cleaner than I expected!
The bath apparently has hot water, but it's cold because other tour groups have used it all up.
Try it if you're feeling brave! Lol
The nights on the safari are cold.
A huge, bright red sunset falling across the grassland.
I'll never forget the sunrise that shines through the dim atmosphere of early morning, filled with hope.
Such a beautiful sunrise can only be seen here. I highly recommend experiencing it.
You can rest assured if you leave it to this agent!

Wonderful, Jumbe ist the best guide ever!
It was all perfectly organized, the car was safe and Jumbe is a very careful driver, both in the city as in the road. Off road Jumbe was driving carefully and condidently but not hesitating to be fast when an animal was to be seen. Jumbe knew more aboit nature than any guide I have ever had. Names of animals, behaviour, etc. You can ask him anything and he knows it, its impressive. And you can feel his passion for nature. Also regading our comfort Jumbe took care of us and was always available to make any wish come true. Patient and with a smile, relaxed and happy, Jumbe is the perfect guide to fall in love with Africa.

Always committed to getting us the best shots of the animals!
Jumbe was the best safari guide imaginable. He was always committed to getting us the best shots possible. He is also a very nice and friendly person and knew a lot about the different animals, aswell as the different parks and lakes we went to.
Very reliable and always on time. Saw the big 5 aswell as the ugly 5.
10/10 would recommend Jumbe to anyone looking for a friendly and experienced safari guide!

Jumbe is a kind, humours and experienced tour guide.
The safari was wonderful! We were able to see the big five and the ugly five. Jumbe (our tour guide) was able to tell us the name of every animal and give us insides of how they live and hunt.
It was a great experience and if I come back I will definitely book an other safari on axis (and hopefully have Jumbe as our guide).

An unforgettable safari with an exceptional guide
Our safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was absolutely extraordinary, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Jumbe.
From the beginning, everything was very well organised and we always felt that we were in good hands. Jumbe was extremely friendly, helpful, attentive and caring throughout the entire trip. He is also an excellent and very safe driver, which is particularly important when spending long days on safari and travelling between parks.
What impressed us most was his incredible ability to find wildlife. He clearly knows the parks, the animals and their behaviour extremely well. Thanks to him, we had some truly unforgettable sightings. We managed to see the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five. In just four days, we saw an incredible 22 lions, including two beautiful cubs, two leopards and even black rhinos.
Jumbe always made an extra effort to give us the best possible experience, while never making us feel rushed. He was patient, knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic every time we spotted something special.
The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The service, reliability, organisation and value for money were excellent, but having Jumbe as our guide made the safari particularly memorable.
I would highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and if you have the opportunity to have Jumbe as your guide, you will be very lucky. An amazing experience that we will never forget.

Professional and welcoming
Thank you Saddam and Booh, the best tour guides. We were able to see the big five in just two game drives and we had such a great time!
