Easy, accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and hands down the BEST tour group!
We had the most AMAZING time on safari in Tanzania - huge thanks to our guides at Ubon Safari. This was hands down the easiest, most organized trip we have ever planned/taken. During the planning process, Beena was always available for questions and suggestions. While on Safari, we were treated like royalty - providing guides/transports every step of the way, personally checking in to make sure we were doing well, and guiding us on the most magical vacation. The accommodations were 5 star, the knowledge of our guide, Ali was remarkable and the experience of seeing the beautiful country of Tanzania was something we will treasure forever. I have already recommended Ubon to all of our friends and family and would HIGHLY recommend review readers to use these guys. Thank you for the best vacation ever!

Amazing 4-days safari with Arony!!
The safari was amazing!
It all depends on the driver and a bit on the luck. In this case our driver Arony was amazing, he knew a lot of spots in the park and we were also really lucky (we saw the lion the first day, through only two hours of game drive before the masai Mara closed).
We stopped on the great reef valley and in narok for lunch the first day.
The camping was really ok (hot water - big beds - toilet flush).
The second day was a full day game drive, were we saw 4 of the 5 big five!
On the third day we visited the masai Mara village (it was 15$ per person, but it was ok, they use the money for building the school or the masai community in general).
Than in the afternoon we drove to lake Naivasha, where we chose to make a round trip with the boat on the lake (this was other 20$ each). It was really good, you can see hippos from the boat and it's very nice (unluckily it rained during our boat tour, but with the nice weather must be really exciting!)
The city max hotel is very nice, all the people are lovely and the day after (last day :( ) we went to lake nakuru where we finally saw rhino!! Now the big 5 are complete and Arony was the best guide ever!
5 stars absolutely!

Amazing 4-days safari between Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. Very recommended experience
We choose this safari experience between many others and we were incredibly lucky. We saw the big 5 and a lot of other animals, most of the times from a close view surrounded by this incredible nature! Our guide Arony was the best, he had always found the best spots, explained us many things and managing all the other aspects of the tour (drives, accommodations, etc).
The camp was better than expected with large tent and hot shower and the hotel was even better.
The meals were also ok with local food such as rice, beef, vegetables etc.
We highly recommend this experience, we think it worths the money and probably it’s even better than more expensive ones

Wonderful safari with great guides
We just had a fantastic safaritour of 4 days. Bashir and Samir were our guides and they are the best! Everywhere an animal could be found, they found them :)). We saw a whole group of elephants right in front of us, a leopard up close, 2 eating and drinking lions right in front of us, and many many more beautiful animals and beautiful nature in many different forms.
The communication with Tomondo has been very good, and the places we stayed overnight have been perfect.
We highly recommend KingTomondo tours and we also highly recommend our guides Bashir and Samir. Thank you both very much for the best days!!

Beautiful Experience in Tanzania
My family really enjoyed our 7 days Tanzania tour to Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha National Parks. We appreciate the work Amos and his team did to give us such an incredible experience. You made sure that everything went smoothly from transfers, accommodations, game drives and food. We were lucky to have Erasto as our guide, he was interesting giving well informed explanations to our questions. Tanzania is a beautiful country and Erasto was a perfect guide tracking different wild animals, explaining the history, behavior, habits and culture of communities that we met. When we look back at the photos brings back fond memories of the wonderful experiences in Tanzania. We would recommend you fully to anyone who is planning to experience the wildside of Tanzania

I will go again with them!
We choosed KiliHolidays because it is a local company and therefore it is a way to invest your money for tanzania people. The result: we loved the service and company of KiliHolidays. Richard was our guide for one day to the mountain, Thomas was our guide during the safari for about a week and David the chef that cooked delicious food during the whole trip. They were all very welcoming, kind and friendly and what I valued a lot, is that they have absolute respect for their country and its wildlife. I could see that KiliHolidays is an experienced and respected safari tour in Arusha and I absolutely recommend them. If we ever come back to Tanzania, we will for sure contact them again.

Amazing!
There are many good experiences through out with Katona tours.
But for me the highlight was getting to have Kenneth as my driver/ guide.
Planning the trip went very well. I have contacted numerous companies for gorilla trekking but Katona was the only company who reply fast and through WhatsApp. Planning went smooth with Jackie and she was always available to talk and answer my questions. She was also willing to tailor the way I want the tour to be.
I forgot informing the flight details to come pick me up at the airport but it was done perfectly regardless of my last minutes notice.
I was greeted by Kenneth by his hand written welcome note at the airport. He explained so well about the genocide memorial and the history. But what I was so impressed was the knowledge he has for national parks and for animals. He was working as park rangers for 12 years and he has so much stories to share. The ride was supposedly long but thank to him and his stories it didn’t feel that long.
He was always willing to do beyond and very attentive.
Gorilla trekking itself went incredible and I am still amazed and still find it hard to process the fact I saw gorillas!
I am so happy that I took a tour with Katona and I’d recommend to everyone.

KWESA IS THE BEST
My wife and I recently took the 7 days Northern Tanzania Classic Safari Tour with Goodluck of KWESA and he was exemplary. The hotel and lodges and food provided on tour were all nice and better than we expected. Goodluck let us spend more time following the migration in Serengeti. We saw all the animals in our wish list save for the wild dogs and took some great photos to keep the memories. We would recommend KWESA to all interested in exploring Tanzania.

We had wonderful time with Lenchada Safari
We joined 4 days Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru budget tour and saw all big 5! We spent two nights glamping experience in Masai Mara and it was clean and comfortable. It was my mom’s first time staying in the tent and she was surprised how comfortable it could be. Our guide/driver Raymond (Koth Pesa) was really helpful and with great knowledge about where to take us for animals. Overall, great tour and quality trip! Highly recommended!
