Highly Recommend Booking with Ozon Light Tours
Deus is great to work with! He’s literally available around the clock and has mastered the craft of great customer service. I came to Ozon Light Tours after nearly getting scammed by another agency. He was able to get all of my preferred accommodations booked in the high season.
The safari itself was amazing!! We had the pleasure of having Innocent and Godlisten as our tour guides. Innocent absolutely loves his job. He matched our excitement when we found hard to spot animals. We were able to see the Big Five because of his navigation!! Innocent is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—you can literally ask him anything. Godlisten was also a huge help on the trip and worked quickly with Innocent to navigate issues. He’s also full of fun facts about birds!
Overall, this team went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely honeymoon and communicated with all of our hotels to ensure top notch hospitality.
My only critique is for the itinerary. We booked an Ultra Luxury trip, but I wouldn’t say it was ‘ultra luxurious’. Time is the biggest luxury, and I felt like we did not utilize time well. I came to Deus with accommodation preferences, but I wish he suggested alternatives. The first hotel we stayed at was nearly two hours in the opposite direction from Ngorongoro, which we needed to drive through to get to the Serengeti the next day. We should have stayed in a hotel either close to or in Ngorongoro. Alternatively, we found out that there was an airport in the Serengeti but we flew into Arusha. Arusha is 3-4 hours from Ngorongoro. When I asked why the other airport wasn’t an option proposed, Deus stated cost. If I booked an ultra luxury trip and I’m staying at The Four Seasons, an additional few hundred dollars is a drop in the bucket. We also came during the migration of the wildebeest. That’s a phenomenon that we didn’t get to experience because we weren’t told nor given the option to add on an additional day to go out west to see it. When I asked to change our itinerary to see it, I was told that it was too far and needed accommodation out there. The Four Seasons offered same day tours out west. The possibility was there.
Depending on the season you decide to book, do research and give explicit feedback on the itinerary that they propose to you can make the most out of your trip. While we got to luckily see everything we wanted to see, we spent what felt like 60% of our time just commuting (literally lost a whole day).

Amazing
This is a bucket list destination and best trip ever. Must look at photos again and again to prove we were there. Our tour guide, Emmanuel from Mambeau was the best! Weather great, scenery great, animal watching great, amenities great... so in short GREAT!

Excellent Comprehensive Experience
Brilliant Adventures and Safaris did a fantastic job. Our group was always well taken-care of and looked after. We felt very safe throughout the safari and never had to worry about food/water/travel accommodations, etc. Brilliant Safaris made sure we had a very competent driver who knew the best spots to see all the animals. We ended up seeing every single animal we wanted, including all the elusive big cats and even rhino. Would highly recommend using Brilliant Adventures and Safaris for your trip and going to both the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. We ended our trip in Zanzibar where we had relaxing days on the beach, as well as did some scuba diving. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Everything was handled professionally and efficiently and the overall experience was excellent
Excellent service from the start to finish. Julian our tour operator and Erick our driver guide we’re both friendly and professional throughout. Erick’s passion for wildlife and ability to spot them was amazing ! We would happily use kojuu safaris again and would definitely recommend them to others!

Fantastic, communicators, and outstanding guides
From the initial communication to the final drop off, we had excellent communication and excellent care. We had a Guide in Kenya named Jackson. Jackson was extremely knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to finding as many animals as possible. He was very kind, caring and enthusiastic about answering our many questions. We then had a Guide named Moses during our Tanzania portion of the Safari. Moses led us through Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorongoro crater. He had 15 years of experience and did an outstanding job locating animals and educating us about the beautiful natural environment and its interaction with the animals. He was also very kind, caring and enthusiastic about answering any questions. Both of our guides were interested in what we wanted to see and completely catered to our individual requests for what we wanted our Safari itinerary to be The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. We stayed within the national park. The food was excellent. The service and staff at each site were outstanding. Everyone was available to assist you with any need at a moments notice. Everyone always with a smile.
Truly, an adventure and journey of a lifetime filled with inspiration, kindness, love, and hope

An Unforgettable Safari with Enjoyable Nature
We had a wonderful and unforgettable week in Tanzania and can highly recommend going on safari with Enjoyable Nature.
From the very beginning, the communication with Fanuely was excellent. He was always quick to respond, extremely helpful, and happy to accommodate our individual wishes and preferences. All our questions were answered reliably and thoroughly, which made us feel well taken care of from the start and allowed us to begin our journey with great anticipation.
The organisation throughout the safari was also highly professional and smooth. The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable, and carefully selected. After our eventful days on safari, they provided the perfect places to relax and unwind. The food was consistently delicious, varied, and of very high quality.
A very special thank-you goes to our safari guide, Elius. He was incredibly kind, funny, and knowledgeable. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the animals, nature, culture, and people of Tanzania, we were able to experience the safari on a much deeper level. Elius took the time to answer all our questions and, with his excellent observation skills, ensured that we were able to see many fascinating animals. One of the absolute highlights was seeing the Big Five.
Elius not only introduced us to Tanzania’s fascinating wildlife but also gave us wonderful insights into the country’s culture, traditions, and everyday life. At all times, he made sure that we felt comfortable and safe.
Thanks to Enjoyable Nature, Fanuely, and Elius, we had a fantastic and truly unforgettable week in Tanzania. We gathered countless beautiful impressions and experienced special moments that we will remember. Many thanks to the entire team for this incredible safari!

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari with Kojuu Safaris!
Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Kojuu Safaris, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning of planning until the end of our safari, everything was thoughtfully organized and beautifully executed.
A very special thank you to Janeth, who planned our entire 11-day itinerary. She was wonderful to work with—responsive, patient, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. Traveling as a family of six requires a lot of coordination, and Janeth created an itinerary that was perfectly paced and included everything we hoped to experience: the beautiful landscapes of Tanzania, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti, the Great Migration, cultural experiences, and so much more. She made the planning process easy and gave us confidence that everything would be taken care of once we arrived.
And then there was our amazing safari guide, Hija, who truly made our trip extraordinary. Hija was much more than a guide—he became an important part of our Tanzania experience. His knowledge of the wildlife, parks, landscapes, and local culture was exceptional. He had an incredible ability to spot animals that we would never have noticed ourselves and always seemed to know where to go for the best wildlife experiences.
Hija was patient, kind, professional, and wonderful with our entire family. He never made us feel rushed and was always willing to go the extra mile to make each day special. His enthusiasm and love for Tanzania and its wildlife made every game drive exciting. We felt completely safe and well cared for throughout our journey.
Some of our favorite memories are not just of the animals and breathtaking scenery, but also the conversations, laughter, and experiences we shared along the way. Those are the things that turn a great vacation into a trip you remember for the rest of your life.
Everything was extremely well coordinated—from airport pickup and accommodations to park visits, game drives, transfers, and our flight back from the Serengeti. We were able to simply relax and enjoy Tanzania while Kojuu Safaris took care of the details.
Janeth and Hija, thank you for giving our family such an unforgettable experience. Tanzania was a dream trip for us, and you both played such an important role in making that dream even better than we imagined.
We returned home with incredible photographs, wonderful memories, and a genuine appreciation for Tanzania and its people.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Kojuu Safaris. Ask for Janeth to help plan your trip and Hija as your safari guide—you will be in excellent hands!
Asante sana, Kojuu Safaris, Janeth, and Hija, for the adventure of a lifetime! 🇹🇿🦁🐘🦒❤️

Absolutely Great experience with Gardenia African Safari
Top recommendation for Gardenia African Safari in Tanzania
Our family of five went on a five-day safari: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Maniara. We booked the safari online with Gardenia African Safari and received a completely hassle-free package. This included everything from preparing the offer and signing the contract to processing the payment. The deposit was due upon signing the contract. Communication with Gardenia beforehand was straightforward and trustworthy. Matey speaks excellent German. Gardenia African Safari is a local operator in Arusha, Tanzania. Our safari began with a domestic flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. There, we were warmly welcomed by our guide and the owner of Gardenia. Matey proved to be not only a very attentive guide but also a skilled driver who found the best spots for wildlife viewing. We actually saw the Big Five and much more, and learned a great deal about the country, its people, and its wildlife. The accommodations were excellent: comfortable, good food, and cleanliness. We lacked for nothing. The friendliness and helpfulness everywhere was outstanding. It was an unforgettable experience for our family. We can absolutely recommend Matey & Gardenia African Safari. Thank you so much for this special time. It was a dream trip for us with unforgettable experiences.

The best private safari experience we could have ever asked for! ❤️
Our 5-day private safari was truly unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The whole team of Rafiki Tembo was incredibly kind, caring, and professional. They checked in with us every day, were always flexible, and happily accommodated any changes in our itinerary we requested ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to our amazing guide, who was patient, attentive, and always did his best to help us find the animals we hoped to see. He made sure we had the best possible experience 🦓🦒🐊🦛
We also loved staying in a different lodge inside the parks every night - each one was beautiful and perfectly chosen by the team. The balloon safari was another unforgettable highlight.
We highly recommend this company. These were truly the best 5 days of our private safari, and we will cherish these memories forever.
