unforgettable holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar
Zepisa organized our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We visited the Tarangire, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Serengeti. The trip was well organized, with four unforgettable nights in a tent in the Serengeti. We saw many animals, including several felines in the Serengeti. The guides, Omary and Sam, were fantastic. They were experienced, helpful, and careful.
Mr Nyemo the owner of the agency has always responded promptly to our requests.

Great guide in-depth knowledge of animals
We spent a weekend (four people, Friday to Sunday) in Mikumi National Park, and everything related to the wildlife and overall park experience was fantastic. Our guide, Louis, was truly passionate about his work. He never rushed through the park or pressured us to move on quickly. We could sit quietly in one spot for up to 45 minutes, watching impalas, marabou storks, zebras, and gnus with the engine turned off, while Louis explained their mating and foraging behaviors in fascinating detail.
He showed us lions, elephants, bulls, and giraffes—all at the same relaxed pace, sharing a wealth of knowledge at every turn. It was also amazing to learn about the savanna’s plant life: trees that produce alcoholic fruit, trees with slick bark, towering baobabs, and much more.
Louis always found the perfect spots to observe wildlife without disturbing the animals or making us feel unsafe. He answered all our questions confidently, and when he didn’t know something, he openly admitted it—something we greatly appreciated. His humility and dedication stood out and made the experience truly special.
What I liked less—though it was still acceptable—was the communication with the manager of the local safari company. We were picked up at the Morogoro train station and sent off with someone we had never met, to a camp we hadn’t been told about in advance. The camp was quite basic: the air in the lodges was musty, and the food was average. This part of the service could definitely be improved.
That said, if you ask me whether I’d recommend Zapisa African Safaris—absolutely. They have fantastic guides who are knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely love what they do.

Unforgettable Experience for Our First Safari
My family had a truly memorable first Safari experience with Zepisa. Thank you Nyemo for the great coordination, seamless communication and always there to promptly answer our questions. We also had a great Safari guide, Omari who had the eyes of an eagle. He could spot animals from miles away and also identify them instantly. He is like a walking encyclopedia! Thanks to Omari, we saw all of the big 5 and also all the animals we had on our checklist.
The package we had were definitely good value for money. We have no complaints about the accommodations and the food served. They catered to all kinds of cuisines and palates. The only thing that we would like was the options available for packed lunch, as they were kind of repetitive. Overall, we had a great time with Zepisa and would not hesitate to recommend their service to our friends!

Unforgettable 5-Day Luxury Safari with Zepisa African Safaris and Guide Omary
Our 5-day luxury safari with Zepisa African Safaris was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the final day of our journey, everything was flawlessly organized, and we felt well taken care of every step of the way.
A special mention goes to our guide Omary, who was nothing short of amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. Thanks to his sharp eyes and expertise, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five—lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and even the elusive rhino! He made each game drive exciting and informative, and his warm personality made our trip even more enjoyable.
The accommodations were truly luxurious and exceeded our expectations. We stayed at:
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti – stunning views, excellent service, and luxurious comfort right in the heart of the bush.
The Retreat at Ngorongoro – peaceful, elegant, and surrounded by breathtaking nature.
Gran Meliá Arusha – the perfect place to relax at the start and end of the safari, with world-class facilities and incredible hospitality.
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. Thank you to Zepisa African Safaris and to Omary for making this trip so memorable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a luxury safari in Tanzania

A highlight of our Tanzanian holiday
Our safari to Ruaha National park was a resounding success. Much of this was due to our amazing guides Winston and Onesmu. They were very knowledgeable, kind and patient, stopping to look at animals for as long as we wanted and went that extra mile for our enjoyment. The tour was definitely good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone. Our guides were very reliable, always turning up when they said they would. We stayed in a banda which was clean and had everything we needed. Meals were at a local restaurant and were very adequate. We saw fantastic different wildlife including even the rare African Painted Dog.

Zepisa African Safaris is a reliable, friendly and competent tour operator.
In February 2025, we took an individual safari in Tansania with 19 people in 3 Jeeps from Zepisa African Safaris and we were thrilled. The friendliness, helpfulness and expertise of the cheerful drivers was exceptional, and together we had an unforgettable holiday.
We would choose Zepisa African Safaris again at any time.
