A well-organized, great-value safari where we saw all the animals we hoped for.
We had a great safari experience with Zanzi African Safaris! Everything was well organized, and we managed to see all the animals we were hoping to see, which made the trip truly unforgettable.
The team was very kind and helpful throughout. Our driver did his best to show us as much as possible and clearly put a lot of effort into giving us a great experience. We would have appreciated a bit more explanations and information during the drives, but overall he was very professional and attentive.
Perhaps a bit more water during the drives would have been nice, but that’s really a small detail compared to the overall adventure.
For a budget safari, this was excellent value for money, and we felt well taken care of. We would definitely recommend this company to others looking for a memorable safari experience.

Very Efficient Tour Company
I booked a 6 day safari using Zanzi and it was incredible. Lydia was very responsive and easy to work with. The company was reliable and everything ran smoothly. Dan was my driver for the first 3 days and Benson was my driver for the following 3 days, they were both super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see and more. Amazing experience overall!

Excellent, great communication, provide good operator, camps and guide
Lydia has been so helpful with everything, the Communications are great. I was really lucky in amboseli to have view almost everything. Kilimanjaro with giraffe in front of our camp, lioness and cubs, even hunting cheetahs. Thanks to the guide, Anthony I had a great pictures of kili and lions and elephants in one frame just as I wanted. Eventhough there was a little misscommunication about dropping off Arusha, and some glitch with the shuttle, but doesn't really matter. They make sure I got through the border fine. They even offer an upgrade, and give me a heads up about the camping, and I was really satisfied with the mid range camp and lodge, didnt have to do the basic camping. Serengeti and ngorongoro crater was great. The guide Isaac in Tanzania was marvelous, even Saw the rhino. And the Tanzanian team make sure that my shuttle is not like the ones before, even got lucky to be dropped off at the hotel in nairobi.

Communication very close, Lydi was always taking care of us, asking how it was going. What you book is just what you obtain, no surprises. Value for money is a 10. The tour was perfect, we got to see all the animals in the different parks, the big 5 completed!!
Thanks a lot to all the team!!

Hard worker
I went on a safari tour with the Maasai tribe. During the Maasai village tour, they demanded souvenirs, as they rely on tourism to make a living. It was a bit disconcerting at first. On the other hand, it was heartbreaking to see how they had to make a living. Still, it was fascinating to experience the Maasai tribe's lifestyle and traditional culture.
The safari was a treat. Our guide, Bryan, did his best to show us the animals. He constantly communicated with us via walkie-talkie, ensuring we had the best memories :)

Zanzi African Safaris – A Truly Exceptional Masai Mara Experience
African Safaris turned out to be one of those rare travel experiences where everything quietly exceeds expectation. The moment we stepped into their small, cosy office in Nairobi, it was clear we were dealing with a young company (just about two years old) that cares deeply about what they do. There’s an intimacy to the space and an unforced warmth to the people—nothing flashy, nothing performative, just genuine hospitality.
What truly set Zanzi apart was the team itself. Their agents were not only courteous and professional, but remarkably friendly—much more than we expected. You get the feeling they actually enjoy meeting travelers, not just booking trips for them. Their enthusiasm for the Safari experience was infectious; they spoke about the Mara with the kind of passion that only comes from people who have experienced it themselves, and still haven’t lost the wonder.
Another thing we appreciated: they were wonderfully mindful about cost. Instead of pushing fixed or expensive packages, they took actual time to listen to our priorities and designed an itinerary that fit our budget without compromising the richness of the adventure. It never felt like savings meant sacrifice.
Throughout the journey, every logistical detail—from pickup to park entry to accommodation—ran smoothly. The guide they arranged was knowledgeable, patient, and deeply respectful of both wildlife and local communities. Even small gestures—regular check-ins, quick WhatsApp responses, offering tips for better sightings—made the whole experience feel personalized.
Zanzi African Safaris may be a young company, but they’re already operating with the heart, integrity, and professionalism of an outfit that deserves to become a big name. We’d recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone dreaming of the Masai Mara.

collaborative, helpful and good price
Zanzi African Safaris were always ready to help us. They answered almost immediately when in need of assistance. They are communicating through WhatsApp, which made the process very easy.
We had three different guides during our safari, which to us wasn’t a problem, they were all good guides and everything was well planned so the changeovers didn’t cause any delays. If you want the consistency of have one guide you should announce that when planning your safari.
Awesome tour and great value for money

Great experience in Amboseli, Ngorongoro and Serengeti
Company was super reliable and were always in reach via WhatsApp. Value of money is fantastic, we reached out to several agencies and this was by far the cheapest one, but everything was extremly good organized and we didnt face any issues.
