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.

7 Days of Adventure on Safari in Tanzania
Our 7 day family safari with Zara Tanzania Adventures was an amazing experience. Visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater was smooth and well coordinated. Our guide, Tarimo, was excellent, with strong knowledge of the parks and an impressive ability to spot wildlife that made each game drive memorable.
The trip was well organized with clear communication throughout. We enjoyed our stays at Springlands, Highview Hotel, Serengeti Wildebeest Camp, and Ikoma Wild Camp, all of which added to the overall experience. The food was consistently good.
This safari exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever!
The safari experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish and exceeded all our expectations. Our guide spoke excellent German and impressed us not only with his language skills, but also with his deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture. He was always friendly, attentive, and passionate, which truly made the entire journey special.
Our driver was extremely careful and highly skilled, confidently navigating both the chaotic traffic on public roads and the challenging, rough tracks inside the national parks. Thanks to his experience and perfect positioning of the vehicle, we were able to observe a remarkable number of animals up close and enjoy countless breathtaking views and photo opportunities.
The accommodations throughout the trip were outstanding. Springlands Hotel was a very comfortable and welcoming place to start and end the journey, offering great service and a relaxing atmosphere. Staying at Ngorongoro Wild Camp was a unique experience, surrounded by nature and perfectly located near the crater, with delicious meals and a wonderful safari ambiance. Ikoma Wild Camp was equally impressive, combining comfort, excellent food, and an authentic wilderness feeling that made our stay truly memorable.
The food at all lodges was consistently excellent, with a great variety and high quality throughout the entire trip. Overall, everything was perfectly organized, and there is honestly nothing I would change about this safari. It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.

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.

His passion and generosity of spirit elevated each moment, turning a great trip into an unforgettable one. We felt genuinely cared for throughout. A wholehearted recommendation, without hesitation.
It was seamless, sincere, and richly rewarding from beginning to end. Every memory lingers like a postcard we’ll gladly revisit.

An Epic Family Adventure
Our Tanzanian adventure was a perfect blend of nature and culture. From the majestic elephants of Tarangire to the huge wildebeest herds filling the endless plains of the Serengeti, we were constantly in awe. Cheetahs raced across the plains, lions soaked in the sun, and giraffes towered over the landscape. The hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti was a surreal experience, offering a stunning bird’s-eye view of the wilderness. Musa, our incredible guide, brought every moment to life with his knowledge and passion.
Our time with the Hadzabe and Maasai tribes gave us a deeper understanding of the land and its people. This journey, filled with wildlife and rich traditions, is something I’ll never forget.

Joshua’s expertise led us to extraordinary wildlife moments, including an incredible leopard sighting in a tree, wild dogs in Serengeti, thousands of wildebeest in Serengeti, countless lions, antelopes, giraffes, zebras, ostriches and so much. Comfortable drives, stunning scenery, and a truly immersive experience. We also had a day with Hazabe bushmen which was so interesting,

Awesome Family Vacation
Our family had an unforgettable safari with Zara Tanzania Adventures, made truly special by our driver and guide, Joseph. From the start he was warm, patient, and deeply committed to making sure we experienced the very best of Tanzania. In Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, we saw an incredible range of wildlife including elephants, lions, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and crocodiles, along with beautiful water scenes and rich birdlife such as flamingos, eagles, and storks. Joseph’s knowledge of animal behavior and his skill at positioning the vehicle for viewing and photography were exceptional, and we never felt rushed. A visit with the Hadzabe bushmen was a powerful and fascinating cultural experience that added real depth to the trip. Accommodations were excellent throughout, from Springlands Hotel in Moshi to Highview Hotel near Ngorongoro, Serengeti Safari Lodge in central Serengeti, and Ikoma Wild Camp in the north. The food was consistently good and service was outstanding everywhere. Communication with Zara was clear and professional, and everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures and strongly suggest requesting Joseph as your guide.

Highly recommended safari and operator!
Our safari was flawlessly organized, taking us through the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Each park was a world of its own, from the lush, baobab-dotted plains of Tarangire, where elephants roam freely, to the endless golden savannas of the Serengeti, teeming with wildebeest, lions, and cheetahs. Ngorongoro, with its unique crater ecosystem, was a wildlife paradise that was home to everything from buffalo and zebra to the rare black rhino.
A special thank you to our guide, Kaniki, whose knowledge and enthusiasm brought the adventure to life. He made us feel safe while helping us spot incredible wildlife at every turn. The accommodations were superb, from luxurious the Serengeti Safari Lodge in the middle of Serengeti, Ngorongoro Wildcamp offering unparalleled views, top-tier service, and delicious meals and Springlands in Moshi where we started and ended our safari. The visit to the Datoga community was a beautiful cultural experience, connecting us to the heart of Tanzania. This trip was a perfect blend of diverse wildlife, rich habitats, and unforgettable experiences that exceeded all our expectations.
