Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our safari with Zohar Safaris was truly unforgettable. Everything was well-organized, and the lodges matched our preferences and budget perfectly — especially Nyumbani Camp in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Serena Lodge, both exceptional.
Our guide Nathan was incredible — knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about wildlife. His love for birdwatching inspired us too, and we spotted so many beautiful birds while learning a lot from him. He even made sure we got front-row views of the great wildebeest crossing — twice!
Nathan is also a talented photographer, always carrying his long-lens camera and taking amazing photos for us — something we didn’t see other guides do.
Thank you Nathan and the Zohar Team for such a wonderful and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Exceptional attention to detail and comfort of the guests
Had an epic trip organized by Zohar African Safaris. The build up to the bucket list experience of the Great Migration was great. Had a superb guide in Daniel who was great company as well as an excellent driver and knowledgable guide. Daniel managed to let us witness the Mara River crossing twice!! How lucky were we?
The care this company provides before, during and even after the trip was fabulous. Highly recommend Zohar for your safari in Tanzania - even if it's not Great Migration time.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari with Zohar — Beyond Our Wildest Dreams!
It’s been a week since we returned from our unforgettable journey to Tanzania — and we’re still in awe! This once-in-a-lifetime adventure exceeded every expectation we had.
I began planning this trip for our group of eight adults about a year ago, researching several local safari companies before choosing Zohar Safari — and I’m so glad I did. From the very first message, Lillian was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly prompt in answering every question. Together, we crafted a perfect 8-day itinerary combining thrilling game drives, a breathtaking hot air balloon experience, and meaningful cultural encounters — all beautifully balanced for adventure and relaxation.
The accommodations, from migration camps to boutique lodges, were superb — comfortable, authentic, and perfectly located. Zohar’s safari jeeps were also impressively well-equipped, stocked with everything from snacks and water to wipes and even toilet paper — details that made a big difference out in the bush.
Our guides and drivers, Solomon and Goodluck, were truly exceptional — real professionals who became friends by the end of the trip. They are funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife and nature. They were always punctual, organized, and calm behind the wheel (even on the bumpiest trails!). Solomon’s eagle eyes amazed us all — he could spot a leopard napping in a rocky cave from nearly a mile away! Thanks to his expertise, we witnessed the Great Migration — wildebeest crossing the Mara River while crocodiles lurked below — a breathtaking, heart-pounding sight we’ll never forget. Oh, and he also makes a great “bush bartender” during sunset sundowners! 🍹
What touched us most was how genuinely the Zohar team made us feel like family. They surprised us with birthday celebrations, took care of every detail, and even fulfilled my husband’s special request — helping him capture a photograph of a baobab tree under the Milky Way for his astrophotography project. That moment alone was pure magic.
To everyone at Zohar Safari — thank you for sharing the wonder of Tanzania with us and for creating memories that will stay with us forever. We can’t recommend you highly enough!

A trip of a lifetime!
Zohar African Safaris was a fantastic choice for our group of 8. The guides, Solomon and Goodluck were professional, highly experienced & knowledgeable, and fun to be around. They afforded us with so many opportunities to watch animals up close, while remaining safe at all times! The itinerary was very well designed, accommodations were good, and the overall experience couldn’t be better! Highly recommend!

The perfect safari tour company!! Amazing!
I can try to sum up Zohar African Safari in one word: Exceptional!
Before I ever book any trip, I am the type of person that researches for ages. I read all the reviews, and do tons of reading about the company or an accommodation I’m thinking of booking. I researched and reached out to many Safari tour companies before deciding to go with Zohar. From the very first communication, Lilian was amazing! She was very quick to respond, incredibly communicative, patient, and so, so helpful! She worked with my budget and my ideas to hand-tailor the perfect 12 day bespoke safari itinerary for my husband and I for our honeymoon through Tanzania.
I have been saving up for this trip for quite a while, and it could not have been more perfect! All of the accommodations that Lilian recommended were incredible. Seriously awesome. Our itinerary that Lilian created was beautifully varied— combining lots of game drives, cultural experiences, some rest time sprinkled here and there, and an amazing hot air balloon ride in the northern Serengeti, which I highly recommend! To top it all off, we had the most awesome guide, Solomon, who expertly navigated us from one camp to the next through all of the days of our Safari. He was very cool and relaxed, and so full of so much knowledge about the land and its wildlife. And on top of all that, he had the most amazing eagle eyes that could spot animals so far away.
Zohar‘s vehicles are incredibly comfortable and well stocked, and when specially outfitting her vehicles, Lilian made sure to take into account all of the photographers, like myself, that would be going on Safari.
Every moment of the whole trip was so well organized, and we felt so incredibly well taken care of the entire time. You can tell Lilian and her team are sooo passionate about what they do, and they truly go above and beyond to make sure that your Ari is as wonderful as it can possibly be. I honestly can’t wait to book another Safari with Lilian and her team at Zohar, and I 100% wholeheartedly recommend that you not waste any time looking any further, and just book with them! Thank you, Lilian, Solomon, and your team, for the most incredible experience of our lives. We are so grateful!

Lilian was a very kind, prompt, reliable, and excellent planner.
This trip to Africa was marvelous! It was such an unforgettable experience! The staff for Zohar African Safaris were friendly and very accommodating. Lilian did an amazing job planning the entire trip and was very caring. Lilian and her staff checked in on us throughout the entire 15 day trip. The safari game drives were extraordinary. Our safari game driver, Solomon was incredible! He was so personable and knowledgable, he answered all our random questions. We were so amazed at how Solomon spotted a cheetah from so far away and was able to locate it by the time we got to the location. Also, we were spotting a lot of lionesses and wanted to see a male lion and he not only delivered but saw two male lions with an entire pride and so many cubs playing! I don't usually write super long reviews but the experience was absolutely exceptional. So I would highly recommend using Zohar African Safaris. Don't forget to request Solomon as your safari guide. And definitely do the gorilla trekking.

Amazing Africa Trip!
Our trip to Africa was truly unforgettable, thanks to Lilian and her incredible team at Zohar. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. Zohar team ensured every detail was handled with care, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
A special shoutout to our safari guide, Solomon – he was absolutely exceptional! Not only was he incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, but his ability to spot animals from what seemed like miles away was nothing short of amazing. He made every game drive exciting and insightful, and his passion for wildlife was contagious.

Zohar goes above and beyond to give a personal touch
I highly recommend Zohar! When we landed in Arusha, we were greeted warmly by Meshack who gave us cooling towels and yummy snacks. We met Jacky and Rachel who gave us a detailed orientation. We then proceeded to the Arusha Serena lodge. Unfortunately, I fell sick. Meshack and Rachel took me to the doctor late at night and took such good care of me! You know you have picked the right team, when they dont just assist you with bookings, but go all out when things go wrong. Nathan and Goodluck took my family to the Kilimanjaro Shira Plateau which was a great start to our trip! We flew into Kogatende to spend the next 7 days driving through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Solomon, our guide, was incredible! His knowledge on culture and wildlife is amazing- a walking encyclopedia of Tanzania! He was funny and patient and got along so well with our family! Every game drive was spectacular and filled with adventure! We added a few activities last minute and Lilian and team made it happen! If you want a magical experience with a personal touch, choose Zohar!

Best safari experience
This safari was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Our guide, Solomon, was super friendly and knew everything about the animals and the parks. We saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, and even a leopard up close, pretty much every animal we were hoping to see and more. It was amazing to be so close to the animals even at the camps, and the views were unreal. The whole trip was really well organized, the lodges were super nice, and everything felt safe and easy. You can tell the team really cares about what they do, and it made the trip feel extra special. I can’t recommend them enough 10/10 would go again!
