The trip of a lifetime!

We had an excellent trip with Ozone Light Tours! We felt completely safe the entire time, and for the most part totally relaxed knowing everything was taken care of for us. Our guide, Dennis, was absolutely incredible- he navigated some intense roads while also being able to spot tons of animals. He was always cheery and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. All of our lodges and hotels were amazing. As someone that plans out every minute of my vacations on a spreadsheet, the hakuna matata style of Tanzania and Ozone Light took some getting used to. We didn’t always know exactly what to expect, what was going on, or what would happen next, which made it so that I had to send a lot of emails with a lot of questions instead of the information being provided proactively. This didn’t detract from the trip, though. My emails were always answered promptly and all necessary information was always shared. I knew we didn’t have to worry about what we didn’t know because we were taken care of. We would highly recommend Ozone!!

Efficient, good, listening and perfect to organise your trip, you can trust them!

What can I say except thank you for this incredible and unforgettable trip? I had high expectations for this first safari, and I must say that I am very happy and grateful to have placed my trust in Ozon and especially in our fabulous guide Elijah, who made these four days of safari a timeless experience. We could not have hoped for anything better thanks to his smile, his good humor, his explanations about each species, each tribe, and each plant, and his 1000% commitment. Thanks to him, we were able to see an unexpected number of animals (two leopards, more than 40 lions, cheetahs, crocodiles, rhinos, hippos, flamingos, giraffes, and elephants—I'm forgetting some because there were so many). If you are looking for a high-quality, immersive, and above all memorable and unforgettable trip, I strongly recommend Ozon, and lucky are those who get Elijah, who made our experience unique thanks to his knowledge and his desire to give his all to help us discover the wonders of Tanzania. We were absolutely blown away by our experience. Thank you again to Ozon and especially to our guide Elijah!

Very reactive

It’s hard to find the words, as this experience far exceeded all my expectations. This safari in Tanzania will remain forever etched in my memory. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized by Ozon Light, but what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide, Elijah. Over these four timeless days, he shared his passion with incredible energy, constant kindness, and impressive professionalism, making every moment even more enriching. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to witness absolutely incredible wildlife. You could truly feel his desire to give us the best safari possible—and he more than succeeded. If you’re looking for an authentic, immersive, and unforgettable safari, I can only recommend Ozon Light. And I hope you’re lucky enough to have Elijah as your guide. A huge thank you to Ozon, and especially to Elijah, who turned this journey into an absolutely unforgettable memory
