  • Authentic Experiences

    At Ona Safari, we believe a safari should be more than just ticking animals off a list — it should immerse you in the real Tanzania. That means game drives that reveal the drama of the wild, walking safaris that let you feel the earth beneath your feet, and cultural encounters that connect you with local people. Every journey is carefully crafted to be genuine, personal, and unforgettable.

  • We are deeply committed to protecting the natural treasures of Tanzania. By working with eco-conscious lodges, practicing low-impact travel, and supporting wildlife conservation programs, we ensure that every safari contributes to the preservation of our land, wildlife, and ecosystems. Our goal is to safeguard Tanzania’s wilderness so future generations can experience its beauty too.

  • Your well-being is always at the center of our planning. We use reliable 4x4 safari vehicles, employ professional and highly trained guides, and partner only with accommodations that meet strict safety and quality standards. Whether you’re exploring the remote Serengeti plains or relaxing by the Indian Ocean, you can enjoy your adventure with peace of mind, comfort, and care.

  • Tanzania is home to over 120 ethnic groups, each with unique traditions and ways of life. At Ona Safari, we value and respect this cultural diversity. We ensure that all cultural interactions are authentic, respectful, and mutually beneficial giving you meaningful insights while supporting local communities in a positive way.
