Wonderful Tour provided by wonderful Tour Operator
An African safari has always been high on my bucket list. When the time finally came to do one, I scoured the Internet for information. I discovered Safari Bookings where there is an abundance of tour operators and found Zungu, clearly one of the smaller companies. In getting various quotes, Zungu provided an itinerary for a Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach vacation that was thousands of dollars cheaper than the others, some of which didn't even include a private guide, which we wanted. I was a bit apprehensive due to the small number of reviews from Zungu clients that I was able to find and wary of making substantial international bank wire from the US. But, I crossed my fingers and we went with Zungu. And everything went smoothly and we had the vacation of a lifetime. John, the owner, met us at JRO Airport and was totally accommodating. We met our private guide, Joseph; the next morning, After our first night in Arusha, our safari itinerary for the Northern Circuit was 1 day at Tarangire, 1 day at Lake Manyara, 2 days at Serengeti and 1 day at Ngorongoro. Each park was incredible and unique. Joseph was knowledgeable, constantly seeking to find us the most remarkable sightings, amiable, and excited himself about the animals. Watching other guides position their vehicles when a particular sighting attracted multiple vehicles, it was apparent that Joseph distinguished himself at placing our vehicle at the most advantageous vantage points. I'd say the performance of the guide is the most important determinant of the quality of the safari, and our guide Joseph rated 10 out of 10. Following the safari, we spent 5 days at the Zanzibar Baraza Resort, mostly relaxing. A couple of minor glitches came up during the vacation, and John was unfailingly responsive and handled them smoothly. Based on our experience, I highly recommend Zungu. And, while they might have other safari guides just as capable as Joseph, I highly recommend requesting him as a sure bet for a Great safari guide.

Top-Class Tour Operator – Highly Recommended
Zungu Travel made it possible for me to visit Mount Kilimanjaro National Park and delivered an excellent experience throughout. They were reliable with hotel pick-up times, transport arrangements, park entry rates, and information on the different packages available. They also catered well for dietary requirements and provided all the necessary information for a successful exploration of the park, including the mountain climb. Communication was clear and professional, and the service offered great value for money. Highly recommended for anyone planning a Kilimanjaro adventure.

Zungu may be a small company, but they have a big heart and treat you like a truly caring friend
Zungu is a small company, but that doesn’t mean their service is lacking or that they are not up to the task of taking care of you. We chose them for our honeymoon, and they made sure everything went smoothly.
Before the trip, we had two video calls and exchanged countless messages. Zungu was always available and responsive, answering every single question we had.
Our Kilimanjaro experience was very well organized, the safari was truly premium, and we finished the trip in Zanzibar enjoying comfort and luxury. Overall, we felt well informed throughout the process and believe we paid a fair price for the experiences we had.
The only area that could be improved is the Kilimanjaro equipment rental. It was quite expensive and not of the best quality. That said, the company acknowledged the issue and apologized for the inconvenience.
