8 Days Lemosho Kilimanjaro
We booked an 8 day Kilimanjaro hike via the Lemosho with Zara Tours and it was all perfect. Communication was quick with Patrick and he helped us in choosing the route and level of luxury that was suitable for us. The trek was very well organized and they made sure we had the right equipment and enough layers to keep us warm. Our guides Juma and Samuel were excellent and did an amazing job of taking care of us. They kept a comfortable pace and let us gradually acclimatize to the altitude. The porters who did all the heavy lifting were properly equipped and very friendly. Food was plentiful for everyone with lots of tea and warm soup to start every meal. I highly recommend Zara Tours as an ideal local company for Kilimanjaro trekking.

Wonderful Trekking
We were very impressed by the Kilimanjaro trekking experience with Zara Tanzania Adventures who provided excellent service throughout the trek. From the moment we were welcomed at the the airport and taken to Springlands Hotel where we met our guides Juma and Barak. They made our time on the mountain an unforgettable adventure as we journeyed the trail into through the changing habitats. They took excellent care of us with excellent equipment, the food was extremely delicious, and we enjoyed it even though the altitude diminished our hunger. I am extremely grateful to Juma and Baraka and the rest of the crew for making our experience so wonderful.

Absolutely Wonderful
If you can, book with Zara Tanzania Adventures; they are absolutely wonderful and have perfected the art of hosting guests on safaris, catering to all their needs down to the smallest detail. We had guide Tarimo with us, and he did an excellent job. Every morning during the briefing, he would go over the day's schedule and then check if we wanted to make any changes. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had a satisfying experience. We saw numerous wildlife species in their natural habitats, and his captivating and informative commentary made the overall experience unforgettable. We are very pleased with everything about our trip.

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.
