Excellent taylored experience
We did a 10 days safari with a bilingual guide in August. Zohar Safari, specifically Lilian, helped us through the whole process from defining our itinerary, selecting accommodations according to our requirements and taking care of every little details. Our Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti North, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro, was amazing every step of the way. Ask for Fernanda ‘s itinerary if you want to experience the amazing! If planning was oustanding, execution was the same level. Lilian’s attention to details and fast reaction to solve any unforeseen incident made us feel relaxed during a very exciting journey.

A trip of a lifetime
We are so happy with our experience with Zohar. This was our first safari and they exceeded all our expectations. Lillian was so helpful from the time of booking to the moment we arrived home. Tom, our safari guide was an absolute legend! It was clear that he loved his work and did everything in his power to make sure our experience was the best. This truly was a trip of a lifetime.

Best experience in our lives!!!
We booked our first safari with Zohar, without knowing anything about this type of experiences. From the first moment we inquired Neema, one of the responsibles was super attentive, explained and solved all of our doubts. We hired a private one with 4 days duration visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The vehicle was in super condition and Leonard our driver made everything during all the game drives to see the animals, and he succeded greatly due its +9 years of experience, what a breathtaking trip... We saw all the animals and some of them very very close!!! Amazing. The Lodges Zohar booked for us were above the expected, amazing locations, super friendly personnel and delicious food. In a few words, book with them, they are the all great package and will make you live a wonderful experience. Will book again for sure. Greetings to all the team!

Wonderful
Choosing zohar has been the best decision without a doubt! They have made our trip a unique experience, taking care of all the details. We would repeat a thousand times, highlighting our guide Lucas, who has undoubtedly been the best company!

Personalized Safari experience with GREAT Safari Tour Guide & LOCAL extras activities.Recomended100%
Zohar helped us to define the plan based on our interests & at the same time offering various options we did not knew they exist.
They work closely with local communities so some activities help us understanding more the culture!
Great communication and follow up we first contact them until we reach home after the trip!
Safari tour guide (Tom) really EXPERIENCED and friendly. He made our Safari days not only a great experience being able to see all type of animals really closed, but also creating a great “atmosphere” at all time ;)
Zohar took the time to have a lot of details with us so we feel confortable, secure and VIP travelers ;)
Zohar recommendations for hotels/lodges and other activities where the best!!!! They really know their business!
Recommended 300%!!!

Perfect from planning, to arrival, to driving, to guiding, to chatting, to lodges. Perfection.
We organised a 3 days safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Manyara, and Ngorongoro) with Zohar with the amazing Tom as a guide.
The trip was truly perfect, from the initial contacts (very quick to reply, with detailed answers) in which they were friendly, quick and open to whatever small changes we wanted to make. They organised a domestic flight for us and Tom was waiting for us at the airport.
During the safari the guide was making sure we were happy with whatever we were doing, and let us choose most of the itineraries and times. He talked us through their cultures and habits, but left us time and silence when we needed it.
Finally, for his 15-years experience, he always got us the best spots for taking photos!
Truly wonderful experience, would highly recommend with no hesitation. Also the choices of lodges were amazing, fantastic spots for relaxing in the nature.

We love Zohar & highly recommend their tours!
If you are currently reading reviews deciding which safari company to book with…stop searching, and book with Zohar. We originally decided to book with Zohar because of Lilian’s timely and thorough responses, and our entire experience proved we made the correct decision. We felt supported by the Zohar staff before and during our entire Safari (special shout-out to our guide Tom, Lilian, Goodluck, and David for their amazing hospitality)!
We were under the care of our guide Tom and could not ask for a more knowledgeable and friendly person to take us on our safari. Tom handled everything from scheduling meals, registering at parks, navigating the area (without a GPS!), and communicating important details with the lodge staff. He was a wealth of information and answered all of our questions relating to all things Tanzania (wildlife, culture, teaching us Swahili). Tom has a great eye for spotting wildlife, and we saw something spectacular nearly every day on our safari. As two women traveling alone, we always felt safe and respected by Tom. We said goodbye to a good friend by the time Tom dropped us off at the airport.
The Safari vehicle is very sturdy. I usually have motion sickness on bumpy roads but didn’t feel sick once during our trip. The majority of the Safari is spent on dirt roads with uneven surfaces. The vehicle has great shocks and is made of steel, and we always felt safe from wildlife and any road hazards.
Tipping on the safari was appreciated (and expected). We brought plenty of small bills in USD and tipped the lodge staff for carrying our bags, at meals, and at the end of our stay. We also tipped our canoe and hiking guides, the airport shuttle driver, and the pilot/ground crew/transport driver for the hot air balloon ride. And of course, be sure to bring cash for your safari guide! Most places did not take credit card. We never exchanged USD for Tanzanian shillings, though some prices were a little cheaper in shillings.
We recommend bringing wet wipes to clean your hands and a scarf/something to cover your hair, as it can get very dusty during game drives (but so worth it!).
Asante sana to the entire Zohar staff! We loved our trip and will recommend Zohar to our family and friends.

Excellent and lveoly team all working hard to ensure you have a perfect holiday!
As is the case probably for many booking their first safari trip - the amount of companies and safari options is overwhelming. We have ultimately decided to do it with Zohar, mainly because how quickly Lilian understood what we wanted and how engaging and responsive she was from the very beginning. Her suggestions as to how can we modify / improve our trip were spot on and exactly how we wanted it to be. The price/value ratio was also among the best ones we received from other companies. Lilian is super super nice and we were very relaxed before coming to Tanzania because we knew our honeymoon trip was in good hands.
Upon arriving to Tanzania, we were met by Lilian and some of her colleagues. And oh my are they all lovely. We also met our guide - Solomon. Once we entered our first national park I immediatelly realized how experienced, knowledgebale and interesting Solomon is. He would tell you many facts and stories about the animals, the national park, the villagies, cities, Tanzania cultures etc. And most importantly - he always thinking of keeping you safe. Solomon knew about things we wanted to see the most and did everything he could to have it accomplished - and he succeeded. We also liked that Solomon shown his flexibility and didn't hesitate to make his own suggestions (e.g. waking up early in the morning and doing a full day game drive - we are not morning persons but morning game drives were by far the best!!!). I really couldn't think of a better guide for this safari than Solomon and at the end wished that trip never ended.
If you reading this review while being unsure which company to book with - I have now doubts you will not be disappointed with Zohar. They are truly an exceptional team all working very hard to ensure you have perfect vacation. For us, it was one of the best trips of our lives. And if we were ever to go back to Tanzania, I would definititely do it again with Zohar.
Thanks to Zohar team for making this trip so special.

Perfect Safari!!
It was great! the tour guides were great! We saw the big 5 after 2 days because the guides are very well trained and shared their knowledge with us. it was extremely exciting to listen to them. It was breathtakingly beautiful and we can only recommend it!! We ate in the Serengeti and saw zebras, giraffes, hyenas, gazelles, elephants, leopards, lions and more! Seeing the animals in the wild was amazing. It was the best and most exciting vacation we had. To see the nature of Africa like this was very impressive! We spent the night in the middle of the Serengeti and heard the roar of lions and hyenas at night, how impressive! Thanks again to Dave and the team!

Amazing Safari
Lilian and her team planned the perfect honeymoon safari for us. Everything was superbly organised with cute little personal touches. Solomon, our guide, was very knowledgeable and an expert at spotting animals hundreds of meters away. We were truly amazed! Couldn't have asked for better!
