Reliable
Joel, the agent, was always extremely helpful during the planning phase of our safari. He was precise with the quotes and very attentive and supportive throughout our days in Tanzania.
Our driver Kisamo was exceptional – always punctual, attentive to our needs, highly skilled at driving through the rough roads of the parks, and able to answer all our questions about the wildlife and local history.
I want to thank the whole organization: it was a deeply moving experience, lived in safety and comfort. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to try it.

We had a guide-driver, Petro Kapino, and we liked everything. He was always on time, chose interesting routes and the best locations for photos. Hope to come back!

Knowledgeable, fun, patient, caring, into the tour making sure we saw the animals.
This was a great adventure and worth the money. We were able to see the animals up close, far away, and interacting with each other. Our driver was very knowledgeable and kept us alive! Really enjoyed it and would do it again.

Our trip was organized with outstanding efficiency even with every last-minute request we had
Oscar & the Zambezi Expeditions team have been one of friendliest and most respectful people we have come across, from their warm welcome to their transparent and instant communication. Definitely catered very well to our group's last minute-requests from customising group activities to arranging transportation.

“Kilimanjaro Umoja Tours: A Top-Notch Experiences”
For our honeymoon, my wife and I decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and chose Kilimanjaro Umoja tours.
We couldn't have chosen any better.
The team was extremely profesional: 1 guide per person and 6 porters (including a cook). We were taken care of with a lot of attention, the team treated us really well (including hot water bags before sleeping for the cold, a gentle a nice touch we were not seeing with the other groups). We had medical checks twice per day.
We couldn't make it to the summit without the help and care of the guides, Mando and Asiraji.
In the hotel where we stayed before and after the climbing, we had good briefings with Kilimanjaro umoja tours crew
Also, they offer equipment for rent needed for the climbing, if needed: this were of high quality brands.
We highly recommend Kilimanjaro Umoja Tours, they were awesome!!!!!!

Highly professional and efficient, knowledgable and meticulous with all travel arrangements.
We are so glad that we booked with Explore Plus and would definitely re book with them again! From the beginning, their professionalism and efficiency stood out. I wanted to book through a South African company, and even though there were other cheaper options available, I am more than happy to have booked through Explore. They are reliable, and accountable. They took care of everything! From the accommodation, insurance, and even booking extra leg room seats (at an additional cost) which I wanted. All the organisation was handled by them which enabled us to just focus of the excitement of the trip. I had lots of questions about the baggage, weather etc but they give you a very detailed packing list which was absolutely on point.
We flew on Ethiopian Airlines, and even though I had not flown with them before, everything was seamless. No delays, no lost luggage. We started off in Arusha after a tiresome journey, and stayed at Kahawa House. It was a lovely lodge, well appointed rooms, clean and modern and a delicious dinner. We started the tour at Tarangire National park and were lucky enough to see tree climbing lions! Was one of the highlights of our trip. We then travelled to Lake Manyara, and stayed at the Serena Lodge. Very comfortable and clean with great service.We moved on to the Ngororo Crater which I cannot even describe. One of the most beautiful and spiritual places on Earth. Wish we could have stayed 1 extra night on the rim of the crater at Serena Lodge but it is very expensive. The sunrise on the crater, will remain etched in my mind until I am old. The sightings on the crater floor were phenomenal. From the crater, we travelled to Central Serengeti. The roads are bumpy, and dusty but manageable. We travelled in a safari Toyota landcruiser where the roof can be popped and you can stand. Great for game viewing. We stayed at Into the Wild Tented camp which was luxurious. Beautiful room, bathroom etc. had dinner in the bush. We then travelled to the North of the Serengeti where we stayed for 3 nights at Mara Under Canvas tented camps. It was an authentic bush camp, but with flushable toilets, hot shower (using a bucket system) and the staff were so helpful. We loved the experience. It was tranquil and calm. At night you can hear hyaena, lion, wildebeest etc. We did the hot balloon safari which is a must, even though it is expensive, it is worth it. It was in the Northern Serengeti that we saw 2 wildebeest river crossings! National geographic moment! The second crossing were saw crocs in the water catching a wildebeest! another highlight of the trip. The animal sightings in the Serengeti are on steroids! We left the Serengeti by light airplane (12 seater) which was brand new and a very professional pilot. We flew over an active volcano and managed to get a clear view. We had a good guide who drove us during the entire trip. A truly truly out of this world experience, bucket list trip for a true bush enthusiast! Thank you to Rika and Illani from Explore Plus for making my dream a reality.

Fantastic Kiliamanjaro climb and Safari with Nafika Tours
I just returned from doing the Lemosho Route with Nafika Tours, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Our lead guide, Inocent , and assistant guide, Efata, were absolutely wonderful. We will always be grateful to them and the entire team for helping us reach the summit. There were moments when we felt we couldn’t go any further, but their encouragement and support gave us the strength to keep going.
The food and camping equipment were excellent, and we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip, even while being on the mountain. We also had daily medical check-ups, which made us feel safe and reassured for each day’s hike.
The whole team was so friendly, cheerful, and genuinely happy in their work. It was clear to us that they really love being a part of Nafika Tours.
After the climb, we also did a 5-day safari, which was just as incredible. Our safari guide, Nikson, was extremely knowledgeable , professional and thanks to him we managed to see so many animals, including all of the Big Five. The accommodation throughout the safari was excellent, and the food was plentiful and delicious.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport until the moment we were dropped off, everything was perfect.
Thank you again to everyone at Nafika Tours for making this entire journey so special.

Expert Tour Operator ensured our dream holiday!
Truly wonderful experience thanks to Dismas (Safari Driver) and Clinton (Tour Operator)!
This is a locally owned tour agency. It felt great to support the local economy instead of the many foreign providers.
Clinton was very responsive from the start. He answered quickly to any and all of our questions, and helped us book a 9 day Trip in Zanzibar (4 Days) and Tanzania (5 Days), that felt very luxurious. When we arrived we communicated by WhatsApp to arrange transportation and ensure everything was going well, this helped us to feel very secure and cared for.
Dismas was the best! An experienced expert tour guide. He made us feel very safe while navigating some pretty wild roads and challenging terrain. He also ensured we saw the big 5 animals, and more while on our Safari. He is incredibly intelligence, cultured, and was a real pleasure to be around.
We highly recommend Ozon Light Tours for anyone looking for a bespoke holiday in Tanzania that really makes you feel you get the most for your money. We stayed in incredible locations, and had a private driver for our Safari.
