Truly memorable! I would gladly recommend Zara Tours
Traveling with Zara Tours was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Our 10-day journey was smooth, carefully coordinated, and exceeded our expectations in many ways. Everything was arranged so efficiently that we were able to focus entirely on enjoying the adventure.
Zayina was responsive and dependable throughout the process. Even when I contacted her about details I had forgotten to confirm before departure, she handled them quickly and reassured us each time. Her attentiveness gave us complete peace of mind. Thoughtful touches, such as setting up a proper lunch table inside the reserve, made the experience feel elevated and special. The Land Cruiser was also very comfortable, making long safari drives relaxing and enjoyable.
Seif added tremendous value to the trip. His deep knowledge of wildlife, culture, and local history brought each activity to life. He shared insights with enthusiasm and professionalism, whether we were on safari, visiting markets, or exploring historic sites.
Our camps and lodges matched what we had booked and provided both comfort and a strong sense of safety. Dietary requirements were managed smoothly, and we felt well cared for at every stage of the journey.
Overall, the trip was seamless, professionally organized, and truly memorable. I would gladly recommend Zara Tours to anyone planning a safari in Africa.

An Unforgettable and Beautifully Curated Adventure
Every aspect of this trip felt immersive and deeply moving. From the lodges and hotels along the trip circuit, including those in the Ngorongoro area and the Serengeti, everything was thoughtfully arranged and flowed effortlessly. We stayed at Ngorongoro Wild Camp for two nights, as well as Serengeti Wildebeest Camp and Ikoma Tented Camp, each offering comfort, character, and a true sense of place in the wilderness.
Our game drives through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area were breathtaking, with every day bringing new sightings and unforgettable moments. The walking safari near our camp in Ngorongoro allowed us to experience the landscape up close, attentive to every track, sound, and movement. Visiting the Lake Eyasi Basin and meeting the Hadzabe was a profound cultural experience that added depth and meaning to our journey.
Our driver Shabab was truly exceptional, knowledgeable, intuitive, and completely dedicated to making our experience special. His skill in tracking animals and his genuine care for our comfort made all the difference. The personal touches throughout the trip made us feel welcomed and valued every step of the way.
Thank you for an unforgettable and beautifully curated adventure.

This trip exceeded every expectation.
Our trip to Tanzania was honestly unreal. From the endless plains of Serengeti to the breathtaking views inside Ngorongoro Crater and the lush beauty of Lake Manyara, every stop felt like a scene from a nature documentary. We saw the Big Five and even spotted a rare pack of wild dogs which felt like winning the safari lottery.
Tarimo was elite. So knowledgeable, super sharp at tracking animals, and always making sure we were in the perfect spot at the perfect time. He made the whole experience seamless and seriously elevated the trip.
Our stay at Serengeti Wild Camp was a whole vibe. Golden sunsets, dreamy dinners under the stars, and late nights around the bonfire just taking it all in.
We are absolutely recommending this company to all our friends and family.

What an amazing Kilimanjaro adventure!
We had the best time celebrating my birthday hiking Mount Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours. Lema and his team supported us every step, ensuring safety, comfort, and encouragement throughout the six-day climb. Special thanks to our porters too, whose warmth, humor, and care made each day memorable. The team even surprised us with a birthday cake at the summit. Professional, friendly, and attentive, they made us feel like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better Kilimanjaro trekking experience.

We cant wait to retuen for another trip
We did a 9-day luxury safari and it completely exceeded our expectations. Thanks to our outstanding guide, Mushi, we saw the Big Five and so much more. He worked tirelessly to find wildlife and delivered sighting after sighting.
Staying at Ikoma and Serengeti Wild Camps was unforgettable, with wildlife all around and lions incredibly close by. Highview Hotel in Karatu was the perfect place to relax between adventures.
Mushi also made our visits to the Maasai village and the Hadzabe bushmen truly special. Cycling from Karatu to Mto wa Mbu was a blast and gave us a beautiful glimpse of local life and scenery.
This is a trip we’ll remember forever. We can’t wait to return for another migration scene and when we do, we will definitely go with Zara

Great experience
Booked 9 day safari with Zara via safaribookings.com. Absolutely great experience. Promptly picked up from Arusha airport. Our hotel in Arusha was Gold crest suites. Excellent hotel and service. Visited Tarangiri, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Lake Maynard, lake essyo etc. Absolutely enjoyed our tour, these national parks are most beautiful places. Our guide cum driver Ibrahim was an excellent skillful driver. He knows exactly how to spot animals in every park. He was tremendously helpful and treated us very well. Traveling with such a caring person made our trip memorable. Definitely recommend Zara tours to everyone. Ask for Ibrahim.

Excellent organized safari and good quality of camps and hotel.
My husband and I have had such a fantastic 6 days safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara) Everything was perfectly organized and we were taken good care of by our experienced guide Ibrahim as from he met us at the airport in Kilimanjaro until we left for Zanzibar. We have seen more of the wildlife, animals and birds than we could ever dream of. Ibrahim had such a good knowledge of the wildlife, the nature and history and he could answer to all our questions. He had many interesting and fun stories to tell us, so we laughed a lot. He is a good photographer and shared his photo’s with us as, so we could focus on the animals. Thanks a lot! 😊

Unforgettable Safari Adventure
Our safari with Zara Tours was an incredible experience that went far beyond our expectations. From the start, everything was organized smoothly and made the trip completely stress free. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help, which made a big difference throughout the journey.
Our guide, Shaban, truly made the safari unforgettable. He treated us like family and created an atmosphere where we felt comfortable and relaxed right away. His knowledge of the wildlife and parks was impressive, and his ability to spot animals seemed effortless. Every game drive was exciting, and he always knew exactly where to go.
As someone who has traveled all over the world, I can honestly say this safari ranks among the most fun and memorable experiences I have ever had. Seeing the Big Five felt easy thanks to Shaban’s expertise, and each day brought something new and exciting.
Zara Tours delivered an outstanding safari, and I would choose them again without hesitation. I do not often write reviews, but this experience truly deserved one. Thank you to Shaban and the entire Zara Tours team for an unforgettable adventure.

A Truly Remarkable Experience
As a UK couple on our first journey to Tanzania, our safari with Zara Tours was truly remarkable. From Moshi, Baraka’s skill and insight shaped every day, leading us through Lake Manyara’s flamingos, elephants and playful monkeys, peaceful lodges with sweeping views, and a moving visit with the Hadzabe people. Ngorongoro amazed us with lions, rhinos and vast wildlife, while game drives and walking safaris through the endless Serengeti plains delivered dramatic encounters, rich landscapes and glowing sunsets we’ll never forget.
