Once in a lifetime experience
Our guide Shaban was amazing; he knew all about the animals we encountered and could answer any questions we had about them. We were also impressed by his careful and skilled driving, which kept my family safe on the roads where some crazy driving was happening.
We had many wildlife sightings, including a rare sighting of mating lions, a troop of wild dogs, and a huge cobra slithering across the road. We were lucky enough to see the great migration on three separate occasions.
We are also very happy with Shaban's extra care during lunch, where he would find a lovely spot and set up the table and chairs, then continue to serve us lunch.
The stay in Tented Camps and Lodges completed the adventure, as their services are excellent while still preserving the feeling of adventure. Everyone deserves to experience a safari adventure with such a wonderful host at least once in their lifetime!

A Perfect Tanzanian Safari
This weeklong safari tour of Tanzania's Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro was incredible and surprisingly affordable, given the level of comfort and luxury at the lodges and camps where we stayed.
Our driver was excellent and skilled at tracking and finding animals. We managed to see all of the Big Five and even found ourselves in the midst of the great wildebeest migration in the Serengeti. We loved the lodges, and the Serengeti Safari Lodge is still fresh in our minds, with its lovely rooms, pool, food, and spa massages providing the ultimate relaxation after the game drives. We also enjoyed our stays at the other lodges, and everything was enchanting.
I happily recommend Zara Tours for safaris

Engaging and Fun Tanzania Safari
We had an outstanding safari experience in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti with our guide Jonathan from Zara Tours. Jonathan was knowledgeable, attentive, and went above and beyond to provide us with fantastic experiences during our game drives, locating all the animals we were eager to see and answering all of our questions. He made the journey engaging and fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food at all the accommodations was superb, and the lodges were located in stunning settings.
I wholeheartedly commend Zara Tanzania Adventures for their dedication and performance.

Flawless Safari
We expected our safari with Zara Tours to be great, but it was way better than we expected. We chose Zara Tours because of the many great reviews and indeed words do not do justice to the actual experiences. Our guide Tarimo was incredibly amazing. His vast knowledge of the parks and expertise in tracking wild game greatly enhanced our experience. We saw lots of wild animals including lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, warthogs, flamingos, hyenas, wildebeest, zebras, monkeys and many stunning landscapes. We are totally happy with Zara Tours for catering to all our needs and giving us a perfect experience.

Wonderful Expedition in Tanzania
This is one of those experiences that I will remember for as long as I live for I couldn't have wished for a better experience. The trip was excellently prepared and we saw all the animals we had expected and many more. The accommodations that were booked for the trip were amazing, set in stunning locations inside the parks and had all the amenities that one would expect in a lodge. The food and rooms was all so excellent that we are yearning to go back to these places. I will recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures to all my friends!

Great Safari Deal
Shaban is an amazing guide. He was totally focused on our comfort and what we wanted throughout the trip. He was always punctual, treated us kindly and professionally. The 4x4 offroad vehicle was comfortable and suitable for a safari as it had good clearance, great suspension, working AC, wide view windows, a pop roof and really comfortable seats for the offroad.
The animals, landscapes and nature were fantastic. We were also very happy with the accommodations and meals and the quality of service in the lodges that we stayed in.
It's a really a great deal for my family.

An Unforgettable Experience!
We went on an eight-day safari with our guide Tarimo, and it was an unforgettable experience!
From the moment we were picked up to the time we were dropped off at the airport, Tarimo ensured we felt comfortable. He was fluent in English, a superb driver, and had extensive knowledge about the wildlife, culture, landscapes, and flora. Each day of our game drives took us to new areas where we encountered stunning wildlife sights and sounds.
The accommodations were cozy, the staff was wonderful, and the food was exceptional! I highly recommend Zara Tours for an amazing safari adventure. I heard that they also do Kilimanjaro and which we will be doing soon.

Perfect, Just Perfect
The booking experience with Zayina of Zara Tours was perfect. We chose Tanzania after touring Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda last year, and we are completely satisfied with our experience in Tanzania, having received excellent value for our money.
Our guide, Shaban, was very experienced and well-versed in the three parks we visited - Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. He knew the routes expertly and drove the 4x4 skillfully along the park trails, leading us to many close encounters with wildlife. At one point, we literally had a cheetah right on top of our car, which then calmly walked off and disappeared behind the tall grass in the Serengeti. We were very impressed by Shaban's knowledge of the animals, including the birds and plants we observed.
We loved the choice of accommodations in and near the parks. Our selected favorites included the Serengeti Safari Lodge, Ngorongoro Wild Camp, and Highview Hotel. They were all impressive, featuring great food, amazing rooms, and excellent service.
I highly recommend this operator for superb

An Amazing Safari Adventure to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire
I enjoyed every aspect of the safari trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Juma was outstanding and made the trip fun and memorable. He was punctual, and his extensive knowledge about the parks, wildlife, flora, and ecosystems made him a valuable companion, enhancing our experience.
We are very happy with everything and have no reason not to recommend Zara Tanzania Adventure for making this an unforgettable journey.

Phenomenal Safari Experience
We spent seven days with Juma on our safari, and he provided us with an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Juma was not only professional but also thoroughly knowledgeable about the three parks that we visited with him. He knew the best spots for wildlife sightings and avoided areas where we would be stuck in the middle of the crowd. There was so much to see, particularly in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Tarangire was a bit dry compared to the two stars. The advantage of going with Zara is that they operate a large fleet of safari vehicles, and we were allocated one that was quite new, making it very comfortable and sturdy, with everything like the air conditioning working very well. We also stayed at the lodges they operate for greatly discounted rates for that kind of luxury. I have so many positive things to say about the trip, and when I return to Tanzania, I will definitely go with Zara!
