Super friendly, Great experience, wonderful Organization, top guides, Good Communication
We had the best Safari ever with Zohar. Everything was really wonderful and even better than we imagined. Thank you everyone in the office for the wonderful organization and that you were always approachable. Every accommodation was super nice and we were always happy about the honeymoon surprises. Our guide Tom was really great. He was always friendly, attentive and fulfilled all of our wishes. He is very experienced and we saw a lot of animals. We really had a great time with him and couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Also our Zanzibar holidays were organised by zohar and it was great. We had a Pick-up at the airport and also in our Hotel was everything organised.
The Communication with everyone in the office was easy and fast. Especially we would thank Lilian for doing such a great Job.
It was the best decision to choose this argency and are very grateful that we had an unforgettable vacation with Zohar.

Exceptionally well-tailored trip.
Exceptionally well-tailored trip. A guide with a lot of knowledge of the animals and who continuously anticipated the environment and intuitively showed us everything. So we didn't spend all day on the radio to hear where the Big Five were, so we saw a lot more than the average visitor who goes with the big travel companies.
Nice people at Zohar and a very personal approach.

Zohar is a wonderful tour operator, providing personalized, once in a lifetime safari experiences!
We started communication by email/Whatsapp with Lilian a few months before our trip. Lilian was always very responsive to messages which made planning a big trip like this quite straightforward. From the minute we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport, Zohar safaris was there to make us feel welcome. They went above and beyond to make the trip memorable for us, from personalized touches to organizing day activities for us at the last minute upon our request. We owe a big thanks to our guide Moustapha, who's impressive animal spotting skills and his vast amount of knowledge and experience in the Serengeti made our experience unforgettable. Couldn't recommend Lilian and the team at Zohar more!

Amazing safari experience full of surprises
Our safari with Zohar was absolutely amazing! It was part of our honeymoon & Lilian and her team made it very special in so many ways. From the pick up at the airport to the final day where we were surprised with a bottle of champagne!!! Our guide Leo had profound knowledge about wildlife and plants & could answer all questions we had during the tour. Everyday we had A delicious lunch in beautiful spots in the middle of nature. The accommodations that were chosen by Zohar were very pretty & the jeep was clean, safe & comfortable.

Amazing experience with Zohar. We spent 5 days doing Safari with our awesome guide Solomon, who not only gave us a lot of information about the animals we were seeing, but also really good remarks about Tanzania and its culture. He was extremely open to any of our questions and we had always a good laugh with him!
A part from that, Zohar's team made sure that we were always having a good time. This Safari was part of our Honeymoon and they made us feel extra special! The lodges they have organised were also very spectacular! We will definitely choose them again for our next trip to Tanzania.

If you are going on Safari in Tansania - do it with Zohar!
We just finished our 5-day safari with our guide Tom yesterday and we already miss it! We had the best time in the national parks of Tanzania. Because of the many positive reviews here, we had high expectations, but still they were exceeded! Tom drove us to the most beautiful spots, arranged fabulous lunch dates in the middle of nowhere and always took us to the animals we wanted to see. The lodges that Lilian booked for us were fantastic, the food was great every day and the hospitality at Zohar and in Tanzania in general is outstanding!
We would always choose Zohar again! The car was in top condition and very comfortable. We had a large drinking water dispenser in the car where we could fill our personalized Zohar aluminum bottles at any time, which we didn't notice with any other provider. Our lunch also looked better than at most other providers. For our anniversary, we were given a bottle of sparkling wine, which is also absolutely great! It was important to us to face nature and the animals with respect, we did not want to "rush" the animals. With our guide we had exactly the opposite and still we always came super close to the animals. We can't stop raving about our safari and have already recommended Zohar to our friends and families.
Zohar is a small provider in Tanzania, which puts all the emphasis on the uniqueness and the needs of the customers. We can heartily recommend a booking!

Zohar African Safaris was very dependable, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with.
We were extremely happy with our 8-day Zohar safari, which combined wildlife thrills in several parks with valuable cultural interactions with local tribes. The company’s owner, Lilian, was very accommodating of our needs throughout the entire process, before, during, and after the trip. She even used her contact (Said) in Zanzibar to ensure that our visit to the island following the safari was filled with various activities. We couldn’t have been happier with how the entire experience was handled.
Our guide was Tom (Tumsifu) who went out of his way to make sure that we saw all the animals that we possibly could, including a leopard feasting on a gazelle, cheetahs stalking their prey, herds of migrating wildebeest, and playful lion families.
Tom was always punctual and in a good mood, which helped the driving time pass very quickly. We had countless conversations with him on a variety of topics pertaining to life in Tanzania, and he illuminated greatly our understanding of this country. We also cherished our hot lunches in the wilderness of the savanna, which Tom would set up with expert grace. And, of course, he knew by heart every inch of the area we were traveling in, and had detailed knowledge of the local fauna and flora.
We absolutely recommend to everyone booking Zohar Safaris to experience the trip of a lifetime!
Tanzania is a beautiful, colorful country, and its people are very friendly, hospitable, energetic and ambitious. In addition to the safari itself, we visited and interacted with the Maasai, Hadzabe and Datoga tribes — and it was an enjoyable, authentic cultural experience.
We would like to thank the entire Zohar team for their professionalism, expertise, kindness and hospitality!

The best African Zafari company!!!
We did a Safari in the last week of June with Zohar African Safaris. We have to say that it was an amazing experience!!!. This was our first safari and Lillian and her team helped us through the whole process. Our tour guide, Ibra, was the best, thanks to him we enjoyed the natural savana and all its wildlife. Not only did we see the amazing big 5, we were also able to understand a little bit about how all the animals behave in their natural environment. We recommend them 100%!! Definitely, this is an experience that you need to do at least once in your life...

Unforgettable Wildlife Experience
I would definitely recommend booking with Zohar African Safaris. First of all, we felt very welcome and supported by Lilian. She organised a customised 6-day trip for us, managed to rebook all our lodges as we had to postpone our trip due to the pandemic and was always there for all our questions. On the safari, we were then more than happy with our amazing guide Kileo, who made sure that we learn and see as much as possible about the Tanzanian wildlife - even beyond the Big Five!

Fantastic experience
I would one hundred percent recommend booking a trip through Lilian and Zohar African Safaris. Pretty much everything about our 12-day safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Arusha, and Kilimanjaro was excellent.
One: Lilian and the company were super responsive, helpful, and she personalized our itinerary to our taste. My husband and I are pretty active people, and so she interspersed our game drives with hiking, walking safaris, and even a biking day. She checked in throughout to make sure everything was going smoothly (which it was). I felt taken care of and comfortable throughout the trip. It was important to me on a trip to Tanzania to support a company run by Tanzanian people and based in Tanzania, which Zohar is.
Two: Our guide, Leo, couldn't have been better. Not only did we see pretty much every animal there was to see thanks to his tracking skills, he answered all our questions with no problem and was just plain a good guy to spend time with (which is important, since you spend so much time with your guide!). Our jeep was well-maintained and we always had access to fresh water and snacks.
Three: Everywhere we stayed was really nice! The lodges were comfortable and the food was usually good, and we had ample access to bottled water.
Four: Every day was fun! I felt like I saw so many amazing animals, so many gorgeous places, and got to learn a lot about Tanzania and her people and cultures.
I've already recommended Zohar to my friends who are interested in going on safari, and I would recommend it to you, too.
