A DREAM COME TRUE
5/5

We booked in quiet last minute, but Lilian assured us that everything was going to work out fine and it did. We couldn't have thought of going on safari with any other company. Every single detail was well taken care of and the attention and care we got was above and beyond from what we could have ever wished for. Solomon was our driver and he was extremely knowledgable, it was super impressive. I can't even imagine how many questions we asked, but he answered each one of them. It was such a pleasure learning Tanzania and it's culture through his expertise. We are definitely looking forward to come back and we would choose Zohar again in a blink of an eye.

I received an excellent service during my stay.
5/5

After looking into several safari companies, I decided to travel with this local owned boutique company because of how well they attention to details, they listen to their customers and provide them with what is best for the customer.

I had the most amazing New Year’s in Tanzania, and it’s all thanks to Zohar team. Jacqueline was super quick in responding to my questions tirelessly. As a solo traveler, it was very difficult to make most decisions because I was not sure what would be the best thing to do. I had a alot of questions as i wanted my trip to be perfect. I was lucky enough that Jacqueline was there to make sure all my questions were answered in details and I had everything I needed.

I had 3 days safari visiting Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro crater and it was a great combination of seeing animals and some nice activities. My guide Baraka was very knowledgeable, very helpful and caring.

When I arrived in Zanzibar, my guide Said was there to pick me up for Stone Town tour. The next day he picked me up for Spice tour before driving further to my beautiful apartment fews minute to the beach. Zanzibar beaches are just breathtaking and I wished I had more time there.

I had an amazing time and its all thanks to Zohar African Safaris Limited. Am looking forward into travelling with them again sometime in the future. I definitely recommend this local operator to anyone who is looking for one unforgetable lifetime experience.

We booked from Belgium, directly with Zohar African safaris. We choosed for a tailor made safari. (20 days) Communication with Lilian, the owner off the company, was very good from the beginning. Always quick reply, well done description, day by day about our itinerary. She have a very good knowledge concerning lodges, hotels, places to visit. Once you are arrived , she is there for you, you can always call here when you have a request. It gives a very safe feeling.
The safari tour was also great. Accommodation was wonderfull ( Sangaiwe camp) David our guide, was very kind, and helpful. His knowledge about Tanzania, animals, tribes,..... is amazing.
We have visit Africa for more then 10 times, but this time was amazing, the best!!

A trip of a lifetime to beautiful Tanzania
5/5

We, 7 friends from Canada, were looking to plan an adventure to Tanzania, Africa that included a Mount Kilimanjaro 8 day climb and a Safari tour. While looking for help to plan and organize this adventure we came across Zohar African Safaris, a local company that is operated out of Arusha. The owner/operator, Lilian Mbise-Kramer was quick to respond to our inquires and mapped out our entire trip with 3 different ending itineraries. She was extremely patient and helpful with us while we made decisions about our stay and individual plans.

During our time in Tanzania the level of service and support we experienced from Lilian and her crew of guides and porters was exceptional. Lilian was resourceful at managing and troubleshooting issues, questions or last minute requests; all were handled swiftly and professionally. Lilian also had a few surprises for us along the way (a huge celebration awaited us at the end of our Kili climb).

We can't thank Lilian and her team (Isah, Peter, Julius (Kili guides); Adam and Nixon (Safari guides)) enough for showing us their beautiful country with grace, kindness and friendship - you are all such wonderful ambassadors of your country - we hope we have the opportunity to visit again one day!

Absolutely amazing Kilimanjaro and safari by Zohar African Safaris
5/5

Lilian from Zohar provided our group of 7 friends from Canada with an amazing experience in Tanzania! First the Kilimanjaro climb - with our head guide Isaa, we had an absolutely fantastic team supporting us and we all summitted! This team of hard working guys will hold a place in our hearts forever! After our 8 day adventure on the mountain, we were off on safari to Tarangire National Park, Manyanara National Park, and the Serengeti. We had 2 vehicles for 7 of us along with our excellent guides Adam and Nixon. Seeing all the African wildlife up close was just amazing! Accommodations on the safari were always interesting and beautiful and the food on both the mountain and safari was delicious and plentiful.
Lilian provided us with an unforgettable experience in her beautiful Tanzania! She went above and beyond and I will be forever thankful!

Amazing experience that exceeded my expectations
5/5

Our group of 7 friends (all middle-aged) anticipated an experience of a lifetime and our time in Tanzania exceeded our expectations - Lilian at Zohar tours planned every detail based on our requests and recruited an amazing, professional team who made sure our adventures were a success. Our first part was the 8-day Lemoshe route to summit Kilimanjaro- to the top for all of us! Our guide, Isaa, along with his hand-picked team really wanted us to stand to complete our dream (one team/one dream was our mantra) - the encouragement and support especially the singing was a big help every day but especially on summit day. The celebration at the bottom with Lilian and everyone was very emotional- a day we will never forget. From there we went on safari with two vehicles/two guides (given that we were 7 the additional room was appreciated). Adam and Nixon proved to be very knowledgeable and I can’t believe how much we saw- all of our accommodations were unique and had their own charm. The food on the mountain and safari was wonderful; lots of options and definitely plentiful. I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. Tanzania is a beautiful country with amazingly friendly people who welcome you warmly.

A unique cultural tour including safari and gorilla tracking
5/5

This tour exceeded our expectations. It was detailed and well organized. Communication with our travel agent was daily. Having the agent be local to the area in which we traveled was very helpful. We recommended an introductory brochure with FAQ be mailed upon first deposit of the trip. We also recommended Skype sessions for all the details when planning a custom tour. It was a delightful trip.

Amazing Trip with the Best Driver and Coordinator
5/5

We stayed in the Serena Group of hotels which were very good as well as the Tarangire Sopa Lodge which was excellent.
Our driver, David was very knowledgeable on animal behavior and the wildlife reserve. Thanks to him we saw the BIG 5 as well as the SMALL 5. He was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable.
Lilian, owner of Zohar was very prompt in her emails and included all the sights we wanted to see including the Masai Village and having an authentic African meal.
Overall a very memorable trip thanks to Lilian and David

Mind blowing trip of a lifetime
5/5

Right from the start the communication was great and the safari tailored to my requests to see animals and culture. My review comes in the form of s song I penned in the last day and was rhrilled to have the backing of marimbas and singers from the lodge band to help me present it to David my wonderful guide.
The tune is ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’
SAFARI WAY!
Verse 1
In Tanzania while on safari
The people sleep the night
Then when the suns up, down come the trucks
To seek out he wildlife
Weee....The big five don’t seem to care
Weee.... But you know they’re still aware!

CHORUS
Safari Way, safari way, safari way, safari way, safari way, safari way, safari way, safari way!

Verse 2
In the Serengeti or any National Park
You’ll experience the thrill of the chase!
Dusty, rough and bumpy
The roads will take you to
Every exciting place!
Wee.....Your guides they know the way.
Wee..... They know just what to say.

CHORUS
Safari Way.........

Verse 3
In the village, the Maasai village
They live traditionally
With one another and the nature
They live in harmony
Wee.... they shared their ways with me
Wee..... they made me so happy!

CHORUS
Safari Way.........

Verse 4
Safaris almost over
I’ve had the best time ever
And sad it has to end!
Thankyou to my driver
And all the staff at lodges
I know I’ll want to come again!
Wee...... David you’re the best!
Wee......I’m feeling really blessed!

CHORUS
Safari Way..........

Extreamly Accomodating
5/5

Of all of the companies we contacted, Zohar was the only one to get back to us within 24 hours and the communication just got better from there. Every need and request was met by Lilian and her guides. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We really appreciated that they knew when we wanted to know things and were also comfortable not talking us to death when we just wanted to enjoy our surroundings. At no time were there any other fees for park entrances, food or anything else. The accommodations Lilian picked were fantastic and met all of our requests. At the end of the tour Lilian took over an hour getting feedback on the trip, places we stayed and the guides to find out what we liked and what could be improved, there was very little to be discussed with the latter, and a lot regarding the former. We would whole heartedly recommend using Zohar.
