Highly Recommended
We went on a 5-day safari in October with our three teenage kids, visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Tarimo, was incredible—he spotted wildlife from unbelievable distances and made the experience thrilling for all of us. We saw so many animals up close, including species we never imagined we’d encounter in the wild. From our first communication with Zara Tanzania Adventures to the accommodations and meals, everything was seamless. The trip was perfectly organized, and we always felt well cared for. A safari has long been on our bucket list, and this adventure exceeded every expectation. We highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures for an unforgettable family safari!

Awesome Kilimanjaro Trekking
The 8-day Lemosho trek to Kilimanjaro was truly the most unforgettable experience of my life. My friend and I took on the challenge this October, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team than Zara Tanzania Adventures. Our guides, especially Yesse, were always full of energy and positivity, lifting our spirits and sharing fascinating insights about the mountain. Faustin, our cook, took great care of us, waking us with warm tea and encouraging us to eat. His meals were amazing, keeping us well-fed with fresh fruit, meat, and delicious dishes. The porters worked tirelessly, setting up our tents and providing constant support. Summit day was the toughest, but with Yesse and Baraka guiding us, we made it to the top. This life-changing journey will stay with us forever!

Zara Tanzania Adventures gave me us unforgettable, supportive, and truly top-tier experience
I traveled to Tanzania in early May to attempt the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro with Zara Tanzania Adventures, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were welcomed at Kilimanjaro airport by Juma, who drove us to Springlands Hotel, a clean and comfortable base with great beds and an excellent breakfast.
The climb was challenging but incredibly rewarding. October meant fewer crowds, and although the weather changed constantly—hot, cold, wet, and dry—it made the mountain scenery even more beautiful. We enjoyed stunning views every day, from dramatic valleys and ridges to sweeping clouds and occasional glimpses of the snow-covered summit.
The support from the Zara team was exceptional. As a vegan, I was impressed by the fresh, delicious meals prepared daily, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and hearty dishes that kept us energized. Our three guides—Yesse Lema, Jacksn, and Freddy—were outstanding. Their expertise, encouragement, and patience helped us through tough moments, including a challenging descent from the Lava Tower in heavy rain.
Zara Tanzania Adventures also provided top-class equipment, including sturdy tents, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and well-organized camps each night.
I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures for their excellent service, reliable gear, great food, and warm, professional support throughout this memorable adventure.

Awesome Eight Days Trekking (Kilimanjaro -Lemosho)
We have been wanting to do Kilimanjaro for the longest time and this October we made our way to Tanzania for the dream trek. Reaching Kilimanjaro's summit was a challenging feat because of the cold, low oxygen and terrain but crew from Zara Tanzania made it all happen. They supported us with all the aspects ranging with climbing strategy and protocols, provided conditions that made our time comfortable by taking care of the food, lodgings, movement of equipment camp to camp and above all they took excellent care of us. I appreciate the efforts put in by guide Lema and his team. They were outstanding and friendly professionals who put our needs and safety first. I highly recommend going with Zara Tanzania as they are the best!

Awesome Support On Our Kilimanjaro Climbing Trip
Climbing Kilimanjaro was an incredible, life-changing, and rewarding adventure. Our hosts at Zara Tanzania Adventures handled everything, removing any stressful, unsafe, or emotionally draining moments from our trip. The crew was excellent, from the guides and porters to our cook, Stephen. They were all stand-up gentlemen who took our safety, comfort, and successful summit attempt seriously. They played a huge part in our successful summit. I also appreciate the excellent equipment provided, sufficient food and supplies, and we were blessed with good weather. We are happy to have chosen Zara because they are the best!

The Best Safari Experience in Tanzania
We have visited Tanzania twice before, and I can confidently say that our most recent trip with Zara Tanzania Adventures was the best yet. Everything was perfect, largely because Zayina, our travel designer from the operator, did an excellent job organizing every aspect of the trip. We visited four incredible national parks: Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with our guide Joseph. He took us on amazing game drives that offered fantastic wildlife viewing, where we had close encounters with lions, elephants, and cheetahs, and also saw many other different animals including gazelles, zebras, warthogs, buffaloes, and wildebeest. The accommodations were thoughtfully chosen along the travel route and provided excellent spots to relax and rejuvenate. Joseph gave us an unforgettable experience that we will cherish for a long time, and I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures.

Kilimanjaro Trekking
We returned to Tanzania for another adventures with Zara Tanzania and it was awesome as we had expected. Trekking Kilimanjaro is not easy but we were able to reach the summit for a number of reasons. To start with we were in great physical shape from the rigorous training we had done, we had a great crew supporting us and all the logistics were in place. We had a terrific time on that mountain with guide Lema taking the lead to ensure that we were safe and well supported at all times. I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures for a job well done.

Wonderful Trekking Experience
It was an absolutely incredible experience on Kilimanjaro with two of my friends. We were supported by an outstanding team of three guides, nine porters, and a chef throughout our trek. They were friendly and caring, and thanks to them, we successfully reached the summit safely. They kept our spirits and morale high. I am very pleased with the efforts of our hosts on the mountain. Most impressive was the senior guide Julius, who was exceptional and a fantastic leader. I highly appreciate and recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures for their excellent work.
