Best tour operator and of course best tour guide, Elijah, in Tanzania!
Ozon Light Tours made our Safari unforgettable! As it was our first time on a safari, we didn’t really know what exactly to expect but the whole safari, the company and especially our tour guide Elijah, exceeded any expectations we could have.
Ozon light personnel was so helpful during every step of the process, especially Michael with whom I was in contact. He always responded promptly to all my questions and helped me create a perfect 6-7 day safari itinerary!
A huge thank you to the best tour guide we could ever have, Elijah! First of all, he made us feel very safe from the first moment, he was driving like a pro, helped us with all our needs/questions and was always there for us. We also decided he is literally the jungle prophet - he knew exactly where to take us to see the most magnificent animals in the different parks. Of course this means that we got to see the big 5 - many times each.
As we were on our honeymoon, selecting a company and a guide that would make this experience unforgettable, was a must. We were lucky enough to find Ozon Light Tours and Elijah who made us feel like home away from home. Asante sana!
I would recommend them to anyone who is planning a safari in Tanzania!

Great tour operator, even greater tour guide. Elijah was the best!
We found Ozon Light after a lot of research on tour operators, as we wanted to plan a safari (our first) as part of our honeymoon. Overall, the tour operator, and more specifically Michael, was very good, helpful and prompt in his communication, and delivered a well curated 6-7 day safari plan for us, based on what we asked of him. Essentially, we were able to integrate all of Tanzania’s biggest and richest parks in that plan. All the rooms we picked among the alternatives provided to us, both camps and lodges, were more or less as described, with good to great facilities, service and, in most cases, food. Our only regret is one of the accommodations included in the package, for which we had very little info (and a lack of alternatives in Lake Natron, unfortunately), and which, to put mildly, was a disaster, from the (broken) tent we were put in, to the disturbing smell in the bathroom, to the 3 terrible meals that were provided to us during our stay. Luckily, we stayed there for a single day.
Special props need to be given to our tour guide, Elijah. He was just fantastic, from the moment he picked us up, until he left us at the airport. He was very well informed on the parks, animals, birds, historic sites across the range we crossed, always eager to respond to our questions, always positive and in a joking mood, always on time, and most importantly, a great driver - we felt safe throughout, and he made it possible for us to see the Big 5 multiple times (as well as the Ugly 5, and 3 out of the Beautiful 5; the other 2 were just not present in the parks we visited). So thank you, Elijah, for making this an unforgettable experience for us.
In short, would recommend Ozon Light Tours, and would definitely recommend Elijah as tour guide.

Very competent and fun
We took a 3 day trip from Nairobi to Massai mara. The first day was full of dtiving, but when we took an evening trip to massai mara national park, we saw so many animals in the two hours that we had. The next day we actually saw a lion killing a wildebeest 15 meters away from our car. We saw a cheetah killing an antilope. Looks like the animals were hungry that day. Unfortunatelly we didn't see wildebeest crossing the Mara river, just saw them from afar. One of the drivers was really good, the other was more silent, but he was ok.

They took care of everything from start to finish
They picked me up from my hotel. Took care of the flights and transportation. Provided safari guide, water, and food. All i had to do was show up. Highly recommend this company for their professionalism and customer service.

A mature, well operated tour company who really care their customers. Top quality!
My son and I had a 13 day tour with Ethiopia wild tour in July. The trip is wonderful and we have so much fun. Ethiopia wild tour really care their customers, very professional and experienced drivers and guides. The company is well operated with good resources. Even under the extreme hard gas situation in July, they worked so hard to resolve the problems behind the scenes and we have a super smooth trip still. Big thanks to the team. If you plan to visit Ethiopia, I am 99% sure you could not find a better tour company.

An Unforgettable Safari with Nkollо Tours & Safaris and Ringo– 10/10!
Our safari with Nkollо Tours & Safaris was incredible from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. As this was our honeymoon, Nkollo was great arranging something special for us at every hotel, which made us feel truly cared for and made the whole experience even more memorable.
Our guide, Ringo, was definitely a great guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, wildlife and ecosystems, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. He had an incredible ability to spot animals from a distance and, more importantly, understood their behavior and knew exactly where to go and when to wait.
Thanks to Ringo, we were incredibly lucky with our sightings. We saw the Big Five, including several rhinos and an incredible number of lions, elephants and buffaloes. We also saw cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras and countless other animals. One of the most spectacular moments was witnessing the Mara River crossing, which was an unforgettable experience.
We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, and each park offered something different. Ringo managed our time perfectly and always made sure we had enough time to enjoy the sightings rather than simply rushing from one animal to another.
The overall organization was also good. Everything ran smoothly throughout the safari, and we always felt safe and well taken care of.
A huge thank you to Nkollо Tours & Safaris for making our safari so memorable. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Fantastic and super competent driver
A beautiful safari through the Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro, and Tarangire.
Thanks to our excellent driver, Issah, we saw all the Big Five.
The lodges were beautiful and the food was excellent.
The experience of sleeping with lions in the distance was wonderful.
I'm not giving it the highest rating for two main reasons: the packed lunch could have been better, and the experience in Tarangire wasn't up to par with the other two parks.
Still, Lost in Africa is highly recommended!
