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.

A seamless and richly rewarding safari from beginning to end
From the very first click to the final airport goodbye, this experience felt effortlessly choreographed. Every detail unfolded smoothly, leaving us free to simply enjoy the journey.
Our guide, Simon, was the truly outstanding as a driver, guide and travelling companion. He is a wellspring of insight, warmth, and quiet attentiveness. 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.

An unforgettable Tanzania safari from start to finish. 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,
Zara Tanzania exceeded all expectations we can’t wait to return.

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.

Unforgettble Kilimanjaro Trekking in Tanzania With Zara Tanzania
Climbing Kilimanjaro for the first time was a challenge that pushed us, but also opened our eyes to incredible beauty. We chose the Lemosho route for its scenic views and extra acclimatization days, making the climb more manageable.
From the moment we arrived, we felt in good hands with Zayina’s preparation and Yesse’s expert crew. The food, tents, and gear were all taken care of, allowing us to focus on reaching the summit. The people we met, fellow trekkers, porters, and guides that made the experience unforgettable. We truly appreciated the crew’s dedication, kindness, and support every step of the way.
Though tough, the stunning views and sense of accomplishment kept us going. Zara Tanzania Adventures made everything run smoothly, and this adventure is one we’ll cherish forever.
