Best safari experience
4/5

Visited Tanzania with 5 friends and it was the first time to the country for all of us.

Ozon Light booked all the hotels and a well organised trip for all of us and all of us had a wonderful experience. Our driver, Peter, is especially recommended as he is kind, helpful and very professional.

A good experience that we will remember forever
4/5

Tour: 7-Day Tanzania Wildlife Luxury Safari
Driver (5 - Kessy): Excellent
Hotels (4): Good
1. Serval Wildlife (5): Excellent It is an unmissable experience, you can interact closely with the animals and wake up surrounded by giraffes and zebras.
2. Maramboi Tented Lodge (5): Excellent
3. Lahia Tented Lodge (5): Excellent (it has an incredible view and the pool is on another level)
4. Sero Tented Camp (1): Disappointing (The beds and pillows are super uncomfortable, to activate the hot water you have to call reception, the tent is not on a solid base, the bathroom is not nice… Hotel NOT recommended, it is a low-budget hotel that does not correspond to luxury category)
5. Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp (4): Good (convenient, it is very close to the crater)
6. Farm of dreams lodge (4): Good
Additional activities (5): Excellent. Serengerti Ballon Safary: (It is an unforgettable experience, the logistics are impeccable and at the end they give you a delicious breakfast with champagne)
Sales and payments (5): Excellent (Nuhu resolved all my concerns and helped us with additional activities, the agency is very flexible with payment methods)
In conclusion (4,5), I recommend Ozon light Tours as an agency for your next trip. Finally, include Serval Wildlife, the balloon flight and a Luxury Lodge/camp in the north of the Serengeti.

great experience
4/5

We really enjoyed the safari with Ozon Light Tours despite the poor road conditions that damaged our vehicle's rear axle. The drivers, including our driver Issa, showed great teamwork in resolving the issue promptly.
Issa was an excellent driver and guide—patient, punctual, safe, rule-abiding, and knowledgeable about animals. The trip was fantastic, but the lunch service could be slightly improved.
In summary, the trip was fantastic, but there is still a little room for improvement. On a scale of 4-5, I would give it a 4.8. After we provided feedback, Nuhu quickly responded that they would improve, aiming to offer perfect service in the future. We hope Ozon Light Tours continues to get better.

Great and safe agency
4/5

I did an 8-day, 7-night trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara.

I hired this company because it was the most flexible when it came to putting together my itinerary and the things we wanted to do. They answered all my questions immediately. Their booking and payment process is also very secure and flexible.

Our guide Kessy was quite skilled at driving, especially during the rainy season when we traveled. The only thing I would improve is that he gave more information about the animals. Because sometimes he did and sometimes he didn't.

What I would improve in general: I perceived the game drives to be a bit rushed at times. It was the third time I traveled to Africa and both in Kenya and South Africa the format is 3 or 4 hours of game drive in the morning - rest at the hotel - 4 hours of game drive in the afternoon.
Here, the truth is that they were a bit short and during very hot hours when it is very rare to see active animals and it was a long distance from the parks to the hotel (something I recommend asking beforehand).
Tarangire safari 3 hours on the first day and 5 hours on the second day.
*Serengeti was the best both in time and accommodation because it was inside. I loved the Kontiki camp!!
Ngorongoro was the shortest at around 2 hours of game drive :(
Lake Manyara 3 hours.
So on average 1 day of safari is actually a maximum of 5 hours during full sun and heat. That would improve it. Everything else was great!

Attention to detail and cost, sincere effort to ensure an experience of a lifetime.
4/5

My friend and I planned a 5-day safari covering Central Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and finalised with Ozon Light Tours over the period. February being a peak period, we booked well in advance. Yohana was great in helping us firm up the itinerary, selection of camps and the overall booking process. Yohana was prompt in his responses and met our needs through and through. We had a lovely time at each camp.

The two things I would have to say for the company to improve on are
1) Our vehicle tended to break down unexpectedly. It was a 6 seter but the middle and rear windows were jammed. We had to force our guide to open them during the Ngorongo safari. The binoculars were also a hoax.

2) Kessy our guide was positioned as very experienced. But since he had seen it all so many times, was quite uninterested. He was knowledgeable and courteous but very distracted. Kessy rarely used the radio to collaborate with other vehicles and find animal sightings. And very hesitant to take alternate back routes. Since he was just intent on completing the trip, we literally had to take matters into our hands and force him to stop at places.

All in all, we had a great experience with Ozon Light Travels. Yohana was a star, meeting our pre-travel needs for the safari and was kind enough to provide lunch hamper and sandbag for camera rest. We had enough water and drinks to last the trip comfortably. Yohana even picked us at the airport himself on our request and was instrumental in booking us in good accommodations as per our liking throughout.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for choosing Ozon Light Tours for your safari adventure. We’re truly glad to hear that you had a great experience overall and appreciated Yohana’s support in planning your trip. He will be very happy to know that his efforts, especially in organizing your itinerary, accommodations, and additional touches like the lunch hampers and sandbag, made a positive impact.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the vehicle during your safari. We take such matters very seriously, and as a result, we have removed that particular vehicle from our safari operations for extensive and intensive maintenance. This is to ensure that no future guest experiences a similar issue—we’re committed to providing the highest standards of comfort and reliability.

Regarding Kessy, he is indeed one of our most experienced and respected guides, with over 30 years of guiding across Tanzania’s national parks. His deep knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to guest safety and park regulations are qualities are deeply valued by many customers. We would like to clarify that during your booking process, Yohana had explained that park entry permits are valid for 24 hours only. Despite this, you wanted Kessy to continue the game drive beyond the allowed time, which would have been a direct violation of park regulations. Kessy was simply unable to accommodate that request, as our guides must follow the rules strictly for the safety of our guests and preservation of the parks.

We hope to have the chance to welcome you again in the future for an even better and smoother experience.

A great safari experience
4/5

The organization of the safari was perfect since the airport collection. We (a family of 4) booked the safari from Italy and we were a bit worried that everything would go smoothly, but it did! :) Albert was a perfect driver (we had about 150/200km per day on off road!)  and a very good guide. He knows perfectly the roads of the Tarangire, Serengeti and NgoroNgoro parks. Our Italian speaking guide, Nelson, was kind and answered all our questions. We had only one problem at Zanzibar for the transfer from Resort to airport at 4 a.m. that Ozon organization resolved at the last minute.

Very good experience
4/5

We organized our trip to Tanzania with Ozon, which consisted of 5 days of safari and 4 days at the beach in Zanzibar. The organization with Mr. Yohama was perfect from the first contact, he met our needs and tailored the trip according to our desires, being always present in case of need both before and during the trip. The safari was a unique and wonderful experience thanks to the perfect organization of the tour and the expert and prudent guidance of Albert, we couldn't have had a better guide. He was very competent, an excellent knowledge of the parks, tireless, prudent, always cheerful, and made our experience safe and beautiful. The lodges and camps where we stayed were as we expected: clean and comfortable, good food, and kindness. In Zanzibar, we were recommended Villa Kiva, which is a very nice and quiet place if you want to rest after the safari. The cuisine was excellent, the rooms were comfortable and cozy. We really felt very comfortable. The sea is affected by the tides, but for us, this is part of the charm of Zanzibar. The only point for improvement was the transfers to/from Villa Kiva. On the way there, we waited for the driver for over half an hour, calling the office to ask how to proceed, he claimed to be waiting for us but without a sign of recognition, a sign, or looking for us by name even if he was present, we didn't see him. On the return transfer to the airport, the driver didn't show up at all, and being 4:00 AM, we were really afraid of missing the plane, also because Villa Kiva doesn't have a 24-hour reception, so we managed with the internet. Fortunately, there weren't any other problems, and Ozon apologized for the incident. Overall, I would definitely recommend Ozon because the difference in the safari is made by the competence of the guides, and they are really excellent.
