Safari Tanzania

Fantastic experience, All in all, no major challenges either before or during the journey. Our guide on the safari, Issa from Zara, was top notch and the experience would not have been the same without him. We were picked up and delivered punctually at agreed times, and he had great knowledge of animals, plants and what else we had questions about. We got to see all the animals we had hoped for and then some.

We trekked to the top of Kilimanjaro with guide Silvano and his crew from Zara Tours. It was a wonderful experience. The team was extremely professional and service minded, and made the hike a highlight of our lives.

Kilimanjaro trek

I recently used this agency for my Kilimanjaro ascent, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The agency is exceptionally well-organized, and the staff is incredibly friendly. A special shoutout to our guide, Lukas.

Lukas has extensive years of experience and demonstrated confidence.His continuous support throughout the journey ensured the entire group successfully conquered the ascent.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lukas to anyone considering such an adventure. His professionalism, experience, and dedication make him a top choice.

Guide was a 5

Guide was a 5. Accommodations would have been a 5 if the last night had running water. Food was what I would imagine in a camping safari so met my expectation and no issues, 5. I saw all animals except rhino but that’s not guided fault. A recommendation for future tours would be to provide your guides with satellite phones so tourists could leverage a reliable hotspot. Also suggest taking tourists to the best merchandise stores to find the best pricing. Yes you can haggle in any store but many tourists aren’t into that scene.

Zara Tours - Highly Recommend

Zara Tours did an excellent job. They worked with us to adjust our trip parameters due to unforeseen delays (our bikes arrived a day late) and were helpful from start to finish. The food was great, the guides were excellent at explaining everything from the daily schedule to the history of the mountain. We were safe and well taken care of along the way.

Review Moshi, safari and Zanzibar

In Moshi: Enthousiastic and helpfull personeel. Rooms clean and ok. Very Nice garden.
Tips: better coverage WiFi. Better hours Swimmingpool.
Safari: very good and friendley driver. Lodges fantastic.
Zanzibar: fine but slightly aged hotel. Beach to crowdy. The Swimmingpool had no shade or sunprotection. We chose a trip with a Dow but had tot remember the Guide tot get it.

Incredible experience

I highly recommend Zara tours. I climbed Kilimanjaro and felt so supported the entire time by the amazing guides and porters. They couldn't do enough to ensure that my team and I had the best and safest experience possible. I'd especially like to thank Kilian, Tomtom, Victor and Shiba for keeping our energy and moral high from beginning to end.

Thank you!!

Perfect Safari

This was our second safari and beach holiday with Zara Tours. Everything was well organized which made our trip very enjoyable. If we come again it will definitely be with Zara. Thanks to all the staff who were always friendly and professional, particularly to Miriam and the chef at High View Hotel.

A holiday of a lifetime

My guide/driver Ibrahim made my holiday an experience I will always remember. Always cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable. He went the extra mile. Also Jackson who took me on my one day hike up Kilimanjaro. Highview Coffee Lodge was lovely and Serengeti Safari Lodge was outstanding. Springlands was a great place to start and end. All the staff in all these were always cheerful and helpful. Food overall was very good. I would definitely use Zara again.

Awesome Trip!!

We did the 8 day Lemosho Route up Kilimanjaro. Prior to being in Tanzania, we had great communication from the Zara office. They were able to answer all the questions I had (which was many). It was great having the transport from the airport to our hotel and not having to organise that. We then had a pre meeting with our head guide, Joseph, the day before departure and he checked our gear - which was re assuring. The hike was then actually quite relaxing as our crew organised EVERYTHING. We ate such amazing food from Michael, and our waiter Freddy was always so attentive. Each evening, Joseph discussed the agenda for the next day and was very experienced. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!!

8-Day Northern Tanzania Safari

We took a customized 8-day Northern Tanzania Safari. On the first day of safari we saw more animals than we were expecting to see on the entire trip! We highlighted 27 animals in our Princeton Pocket Guide and that did NOT include the birds. We visited 4 national parks and a Maasai Village. We endured many hours each day of "African Massages" in the Landcruisers. (Thank goodness for thick seat cushions). The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. It was fun to toss gifts to the children we drove past. Our guides were fantastic, the lodging was comfortable, and the memories priceless.

Wow wow wow

Wow wow wow. We spent 4 days on safari in Tanzania with Zara Tours and we are absolutely blown away by the service. Our driver Peter was incredible - he had unlimited knowledge about the parks and the animals and was so friendly. Peter made sure we seen the Big 5 which was an experience we will never forget. Ask for Peter and you won't be disappointed. Highview Hotel, Serengeti Wild Camp and Ngorongoro Camp were all fantastic! The rooms, food and staff were all amazing and we would not hesitate to stay here again when we return. Thank you for the most amazing memories Zara Tours + Peter!

Happy Adventurers!☺️

We are very happy with the Kilimanjaro trekking guides and porters. They have supported us all the way to the top. Definitely would not be able to do it without their support. Special mention to Felix, Richard, Hopson, Bobo and Isa. Asante sana!🥰

Our Safari trip was quite fun too! Joseph was very hospitable and accommodating on all our needs. There was last minute changes on our plan but despite of that, he was able to pull it off with a smile.☺️ If there are any improvement that I can suggest, it will be adding AC on the land cruiser and also providing choices on lunch boxes. We got tired of the lunch box food in just 4 days!😅

Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Zara Tours. I would have given 4.5 rating but it wasn't an option.

Excellent Kilimanjaro climb and safari to Serengeti and Ngorogoro. The equipment and camps are a bit worn down and could be better maintained. However the service and support from Zara Tours is great. The safari guide Joseph Felix Tillya worked hard to share the most wonderful places of the National Parks and not least to find the wild animals. Thanks for a fabulous experience!

Mountain and Safari

Thank you. The experience we had in Tanzania was truly unforgettable and we highly recommend Zara tours for arranging things just as they should be. We were really impressed at the way Zara Charity look after those who need help.

The mountain guides are excellent. The safari route and wild camp facilities were perfect.

We climbed Kili in 8 days by Lemosho route and took a 5 day Serengeti safari. Wonderful.

We had the most amazing visit in beautiful Tanzania thanks to Zara Tours. Everything was very well organized, accommodation and food was great. Best of all, however, was our guide Issa, who not only showed us the amazing parks, scenic nature and all the animals but who also taught us so much about Tanzania, its history and culture. Issa also adapted the tours so that our kids could enjoy it to the fullest. Best holiday ever and we look forward to come back again!

Extremely well organized

Extremely well organized. My second trip in 9 years and the Zara team is full of professionals. Our guides Freddy Martin and his brother were top-notch. We had 17 porters who worked their butts off for us. PLEASE remember to follow the tipping guidelines for the porters / staff and do not be a cheapskate - over tip! Only recommendation is more varied food.
