One of the best travel expriences
This is definitely one of the best travel experiences of my life. We had an amazing weeklong trip with our guide Munsa, who is an expert safari guide with many years of experience and is a charming fellow. He spoke both German and English very well, and we loved every moment of the trip with him. He took us to numerous wildlife sites, including some very special close encounters with an elephant calving and lions mating. We spent four incredible days exploring Serengeti National Park, which were quite special. This park is a true animal paradise. Tarangire and Ngorongoro were excellent, but it was the Serengeti that truly captured our hearts. We also visited the Hadza Bushmen, which was a profound experience. Everything was perfect thanks to the meticulous organization by Patrick, our trip organizer, and Munsa, who showed us everything about Tanzania.

Awesome Kilimanjaro Trekking
We have finally climbed Kilimanjaro after postponing it for a long time. We decided to go with Zara Tanzania Adventures because they had a great offer, and speaking with Zayina, our contact, inspired confidence. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and crafted a private itinerary that suited our abilities and budget. The team of guides, porters, and cooks was led by guide Clinton, who performed incredibly well. They were knowledgeable about everything concerning Kilimanjaro, the safety procedures to observe and setting a comfortable pace throughout the journey. The schedule is quite intense and pushed us to the limit of our physical abilities, particularly on the last night when we were going for the summit. Luckily the crew was there to support us, encouraging us and assisting where necessary. We both made it to the summit, and I definitely owe our success to the awesome support from our crew.

Memorable Safari in Tanzania
Our trip designer Zayina was very helpful when we were booking this trip. She listened to what we wanted and offered several options to choose from. We also appreciate her patience with us and her timely responses to our questions. In the end, we developed a great itinerary that was perfect for us and within our budget. Our trip took us to Lake Manyara for a day, Serengeti for six days, and Ngorongoro Crater for one day with guide Justus, who made the trip memorable for all the right reasons: numerous wildlife sightings, great commentary, professional duty and care, and above all, he was a charming individual. The lodges were perfect, and that made the trip 100% perfect. I would highly recommend Zara Tours.

Fantastic Safari in Tanzania
We went on a weeklong safari organized by Zayina, our contact person at Zara Tanzania Adventures. She worked with us until we created a bespoke itinerary that fit our budget and included all the places we wanted to visit. Upon our arrival in Tanzania, we found Clinton, our guide, waiting for us at the airport. He took us to Springlands in Moshi, which was a lovely place to relax after the long flight. Clinton was exceptional; he took care of us and made an extra effort to ensure we had an incredible time in the parks and at all the places we visited. The Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro were spectacular, with diverse landscapes and various wildlife species that mesmerized us completely. My sincere gratitude and appreciation go to the entire team at Zara.

I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures.
My husband and I joined four other people on a group safari with 14 people for 7 days, and it was absolutely fantastic. The package included full board at all the wonderful lodges and camps, and the only expenses we had were for the cocktails and drinks at the poolside bar at the Highview Hotel and Serengeti Safari Lodge. The food was plentiful and delicious, including the packed picnic lunches we took with us on the game drives. Our driver Shaban was excellent; he was attentive to everyone's needs, and it helped that the other couples also spoke English, making it easy to share the truck. In the end, we all got along well and became great traveling companions. During these 7 days, we saw numerous animals, wonderful sights, and even visited a Maasai village. Shaban was so good that we didn't want the experience to end. I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures.

Flawless Family Holiday
My family of 6 has just come back from an exciting holiday in Tanzania, thanks to Zayina for the perfect organization; it was totally flawless and each activity fitted perfectly into the program. We went to Tarangire for a day, followed by 5 days in Serengeti and then descended down to Ngorongoro Crater on the last day of our safari. We had Madeal guiding us to each of these places, and he is the true definition of a safari guide: experienced, charming, patient, and thoroughly knowledgeable. It was all amazing and we really enjoyed the trip and would come back in a minute if given another chance.

A wonderful journey in Tanzania
We had an unforgettable 7-day safari in Tanzania with guide Shaban from Zara Tours. The safari took us to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, all of which are remarkable parks, each offering unique and amazing experiences. Shaban is an expert guide, highly experienced in navigating the parks, and he knew exactly where to take us to see the best wildlife and sights. We enjoyed staying in the luxury resorts that were arranged for us. In short, it was a fantastic experience that was worth every penny we spent. A wonderful journey in Tanzania.

This was a fantastic safari experience with Zara Tours
Glamping with Zara Tanzania Adventures was an incredible experience. We encountered wildebeest, zebras, monkeys, and even elephants in some of the places we stayed, such as the Serengeti Wild Camp located right in the heart of the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Wild Camp, which boasts a breathtaking view of the Great Rift Valley. Our guide, Bright, was outstanding. He was familiar with all the trails, water sources, scenic overlooks, and hidden locations where we wouldn't miss seeing the animals. He went above and beyond to locate all the species we were eager to see. We are extremely pleased that we included a visit to the Bushmen tribe living near Lake Eyasi, as it was truly captivating. The biking tour around Mto Wambu was also very engaging. This was a fantastic safari experience with Zara Tours.

We loved it.
The safari with guide Clinton from Zara is definitely the highlight of an unforgettable summer. Everything was well planned with just the right amount of game drives, extra activities, nice lodges, and a cultural infusion of Maasai and Bushmen visits.
We saw lots of different animals in the parks ranging from elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, hyenas, and many other animal species.
The Serengeti is very beautiful, and the landscapes are just awe-inspiring. With Clinton with us, he knew all the places where we could see the animals we couldn't miss. We also went to Manyara and Ngorongoro, but those visits were only for a day, unlike the 4 days we spent exploring the Serengeti.

I highly recommend Zara Tours for safaris in Tanzania.
We had an unforgettable experience in Tanzania organized by Zara Tours. We went with an outstanding guide Juma, through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. These parks were rich in diverse wildlife species, and we had the opportunity to see the Big 5, the Great Wildebeest Migration, and many other wildlife species. Some of the safari highlights included a pack of hyenas chasing a lion from its buffalo kill and eventually stealing it. Jacob was an exceptional and trustworthy guide, and he made the trip truly remarkable for incredible wildlife encounters and visits to the Maasai and Hadzabe tribes. I highly recommend Zara Tanzania.
