Reviews
Johny Jackson was great at taking the time to be sure we got the pictures we wanted of the animals
Great value for the money. Tent camping was clean and safe. For anyone wanting a safari experience without the bougie cost this is the way to go.
Take the plunge and go!
He loves his country and job and worked hard to make sure we saw every animal possible!
We had a marvelous time. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide/driver than Johnny Jackson. He watched over us well. He worked hard to make sure that we saw as many animals as possible, but never rushed when we were watching and taking pictures! The variety and number of animals was amazing.

The Zanzi team is quite friendly, efficient and reliable
Booked the trip for my husband and he had the experience of a lifetime on the trek. The team was quite helpful from the initial enquiry down to the moment he landed in Tanzania. They were a pleasure to deal with on the phone, very patient with us even aftee having taken a whole month to decide on what we wanted. We paid a deposit and the balance on arrival which gave us peace of mind as it was our first time dealing with them. When my husband landed, they made sure he was well taken care of and gave me timely updates everyday so I had nothing to worry about. Very friendly and professional team, highly recommend working with them👌👌
😊They even gave him a lovely souvenir for him to bring back home to me

Excellent service, comprehensive advice
While challenging, the Kilimanjaro trip was an enlightening experience. Opting for the off-season made the price affordable. I would recommend the 6-day itinerary over the 5-day one, as the extra rest day is crucial. Zanzi was exceptionally informative, offering thorough advice before the trek and detailed feedback afterwards.

Honest, reliable and kept us informed at every step of the way. Thank you
We paid £500 deposit in this country and the rest on arrival in Kilimanjaro. It was this that made us book with zanzi as the worst thing that could happen would be that we’d arrive and have to find our own tour. That didn’t happen . About a week before we set off, we were given a direct email to ‘Honest’ - a very good sign , and we communicated directly to him about pick up times, flight numbers etc, answering our queries within a very short timeframe and he was at Kilimanjaro on our arrival .
He took the rest of the payment upon arrival at our first hotel, met us the following morning and transported us to our Safari vehicle. We were then in the hands of Humphre who was just the nicest man and so kind.
We had the most amazing, informative and fun trip you could imagine with beautiful scenery and animals, visiting Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We returned after four days and after a night in Arusha, were transferred to the airport for the flight to Zanzibar where we relaxed for a couple of days before booking a boat trip to Mnemba island and swam with wild dolphins.
This trip has been one of the best experiences of our lives and we take with us so many happy memories.
Just go for it !! 😃

110% friendly and professionel
I did a 7 day Safari and joined a group, travelling solo. It is challenging depending on weather, different schedules of group members etc. And they managed perfect solutions for everybody every day. My high expectation have been easily outmatched. Ask for Mike as guide. He does not have the nickname ‚Magic Mike‘ for no reason. Best guide I could imagine: Relaxed, driving skills (which are needed!), deep knowledge of the animals, incredible sharp eyes to spot them. After 7 days you want him as your second Daddy! 😅
Thank you for one of the most impressive experiences in my life!

Great experience with Zanzi
We chose Zanzi after getting 3 quotes. It was the best price and had the best configuration of parks and time in Zanzibar. They were easy to deal with in the lead up to the trip and they were flexible, allowing us to switch a night in Zanzibar for an extra night to do Lake Manyara. The tour itself was great, we saw lots of animals. I wouldn't recommend Lake Manyara, there are no longer lions in trees or flamingos as advertised, just the occasional elephant and some baboons (that's not Zanzi's fault, just how it is). The accommodation was all great. Our tour guide, Ishmael, was very knowledgable and knew his way around the game parks. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Zanzi

This safari was an absolute dream come true. The entire experience was far beyond my expectations —
My experience with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris was truly exceptional from start to finish. The communication was smooth, clear, and incredibly professional — every question I had was answered quickly and with genuine care. The team made the entire planning process easy and stress-free.
The service throughout the tour was outstanding. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about wildlife, which made every moment more meaningful. I always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. The attention to detail was impressive, and the team consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible
