Excellent
Safari and accommodation was arranged by Lydia and Precious. Texted to confirm dates and transportation from airport and hotel and safari .When we wanted to extend stay that was not an issue.

The best experience of my life
Even before the tour began, I felt reassured by the prompt replies to my emails. The handling of payments and confirmations was also very thorough.
I was able to see plenty of animals, including, of course, the Big Five. Communication between the guide and the tour participants was excellent.

Professional from start to finish
An unforgettable adventure across Kenya and Tanzania. The itinerary was well planned, communication was excellent, and every transfer was handled professionally.
I chose a budget safari, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodations. The lodges were comfortable, the hotel service was very satisfying, and everything was well organized.
The guide's experience made a real difference, helping us spot incredible wildlife, including rare sightings like a serval. Watching the Great Migration, enjoying the hot air balloon experience over the savannah, and seeing Mount Kilimanjaro towering over Amboseli were unforgettable highlights.
I would definitely choose this agency again.

Really great and helpful agency, with 24/7 communication via whattsup
Like I said in the title they are very good and helpful. Even when our flight was delayed they gave us a discount, driver picked us at our airbnb first day and dropped us on the last day of the safari tour.
Sometimes our guide decided that he will drop us at different accomodation with the rest of our car, so we can talk with them thru dinner and breakfast.
Great people, great guides and very great stay at Kenya
We had a great time and we are recomending this agency to our friends and family.

Freshia as my operator is very responsive, thoughtful and patient with all my questions
I joined this company for a 6-day, 5-night safari, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. It was a wonderful trip that made a childhood dream come true.
Freshia and Victoria, our tour operators, were responsive and considerate throughout our communication and with my pickup scheduling.
Timothy, our tour driver, was wonderful — knowledgeable about the animals, respectful of our requests, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us find rare wildlife.
I really appreciated everyone who helped us along the way and would recommend this company to anyone interested in a Kenya safari.

Very professional
We just finished a 5-day safari with Zanzi and it was PERFECT!
From the very first moment, communication was incredibly smooth. Freshia, Victoria, and especially Lydia demonstrated great professionalism and patience, answering all our questions and tailoring the itinerary and accommodations to our needs.
Lydia took care of every detail and was attentive to us throughout the trip, making us feel right at home. All of this, combined with a very competitive price and impeccable organization, makes them, in my opinion, the best option for booking a trip to Kenya directly with a local agency and without intermediaries.
If you're traveling from a Spanish-speaking country, ask Lydia to assign you Edwin as your guide and driver: he speaks perfect Spanish, knows Masai Mara and Nakuru like the back of his hand, and will make sure you see the Big Five and much more.
Asante sana, Zanzi! 🦒✨

An unimaginable experience
We have been overwhelmed by Zanzi African Safaris safari arrangements and schedule. They planned it just the way we expected starting from stays, all included food and water to the most important game drives. We started our social media journey as wildlife enthusiasts and naturalist’s photographers as @Wildframe_Duos(Instagram, Facebook), Zanzi with a team of excellent guides helped our Kenya, Tanzania safaris to become a grand success. We have photographed not just the wildlife, but captured moments that are unforgettable. Be it the Great Wildebeest migration, the Big 5, the ugly 5 and so much more that we have stories of lifetime. Overall experience was very rewarding and I do look forward to team up with them again soon.

An unforgettable African safari experience with Zanzi African Safaris
Our long-awaited Kenya and Tanzania safari was truly one of the most memorable journeys our family has ever taken, and a huge part of that is thanks to Zanzi African Safaris and their wonderful team.
From the very beginning, Lydia, our coordinator, was incredibly helpful. She has a fantastic understanding of how to plan a safari so that guests get the best possible wildlife experience while also getting great value for the money spent. She patiently helped us plan the itinerary, accommodated last-minute changes, assisted with flight bookings, and made the entire process remarkably smooth.
Our journey took us through Masai Mara (2 nights), Amboseli (2 nights), Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and then Serengeti (4 nights). Every accommodation exceeded our expectations. Mara Heritage Camp, Amboseli Wildebeest Camp, Merica Hotel in Nakuru, and especially the luxury tented experience at Engiterata Camp inside the Serengeti were excellent. The Engiterata experience in particular is something that is difficult to put into words — staying in such a beautiful setting in the middle of the Serengeti was simply magical.
But the real stars of our trip were our guides.
John in Kenya and Syedi and Kyllian in Tanzania were exceptional.
Our main focus was wildlife spotting and photography, and they understood that perfectly. They knew how to read the animals, anticipate their movements, position the vehicle according to the light and the best photographic opportunities, and, most importantly, do all of this while respecting the animals and never disturbing them.
That made an enormous difference to us as photographers. They weren't simply taking us from one sighting to another — they genuinely understood what we were trying to achieve and worked patiently to give us the best possible experience.
We were also travelling with children and therefore had quite a lot of heavy luggage. Zanzi and John went far beyond what we expected in helping us transport and securely store our luggage while we moved from Kenya to Tanzania, especially since the bush flights had restrictions on heavy baggage. Their help with this logistical challenge gave us tremendous peace of mind.
What impressed us most was that whenever something changed, Zanzi was there to help. Whether it was a last-minute change or arranging flights, they handled everything calmly and efficiently.
I could probably go on and on thanking Zanzi, Lydia, John, Syedi and Kyllian, because this was much more than just a holiday for us. It was a long-awaited family dream, and they helped turn it into an unforgettable experience filled with incredible wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and memories that we will treasure forever.
A special thank you to John and Syedi, whose passion, patience, knowledge and understanding of wildlife made such a difference to our safari.
We came back from Africa already thinking about when we could return.
And if we do come back next year, there is no question — we would want to travel with Zanzi African Safaris again.
Thank you, Zanzi, for making our African adventure so incredibly special. Asante sana!
