Very good safari company
I think Lillian with Zohar safaris did overall a very good job organizing the itinerary. The cultural aspects as well as wildlife viewing were unique and interesting experiences. They have excellent guides. If going to Tanzania again, I would certainly contact them again.

Great safari, great company. Thank you so much!
I did my first safari in my life with Zohar African Safaris and it was just fantastic! Lilian was extremely helpful and so great at designing an itinerary for me. Everything went smoothly, nothing was too big to ask her or her guides and from start to finish they made sure they were always there for me, arranged the best places to stay at and overall just made it an unforgettable experience with great service from Zohar (without costing me too much).
Next time I go on safari (and I will because Tanzania is beautiful and has so much to offer) I will definitely contact Lilian again! Thank you so much. Assante Saana!

a super well organized trip with variety and a professional guide
The day before we left we received a extended detailed explanation, both spoken and written, about the trip together with some extra recommendations. The guide was perfectly in time to pick us up at our accommodation and we felt immediately at ease in each others presence. The guide turned out to be a very safe driver and a real expert in the field of all kinds of animal species. Our overnight stays were very comfortable and it has lacked us nothing. The trip had a nice variety in activities and was absolutely not over scheduled; it was breathtaking, a memorable experience!

Fantastic Honeymoon Safari
We had such a great experience with Zohar Safari, we sincerely recommend it!!!
Lillian was very prompt via email right from the beginning, before booking and she just kept being present before, during and after our trip and everything was very smooth!!
My husband and I have just come back from this trip of a lifetime and we have so many memories!
We booked a private safari, just the 2 of us and visited Tarangire, the central part of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. In between these wonderful parks, we also visited the Mtonga tribe (prbably incorrect spelling, but it means Mosquito River in swaili), the Hadzabe tribe and the Datoga tribe.
CAR: Large 4x4 Toyota Landcruiser almost new, comfortable, with pop up roof.
PARKS: Amazing!!! I really had no idea... Tarangire has so many elephant and at this time of the year so many baby Elephants! The Serengeti is just incredible, the land is so flat that you can spot animals from so far away, the amount of lions and leopards we saw was incredible! The Ngorongoro is surreal, you are surrounded 360 degrees from the rim of the crater and on the inside you have Savannah and forest and then you can see animals so easily!!!
GUIDE: Our guide was Godfrey, such a gracious guy. His English is very good and he is very knowledgeble about the animals (for example, why is the secretary bird is called secretary?), their hang outs spot (we saw so many lions and we were the only vehicle there!!!!) and beside that, we have been taking about tribes, politics, poaching, about everything. He was very plesant to be with and he took a great care of us, always making sure that we were safe and enjoyed our time.
HIGHLIGHTS: Believe or not we had two 6 months old Lion cubs laying under our car for shade... These 2 little ones were amazing, this happen in Ngorongoro!!In the serengeti, we saw a mama lion with 3 cubs, very close to us, over some stacked rocks, we saw a Cheeta that had just killed a gazzelle and was dragging it to find a safe place to eat, we saw a leopard with cub just by our car, we saw a male baboon chasing away a leopard, a jackal biting a lion and on top of all.... an heard of elephant that charged a pride of 18 lions that were feeding in front of them and have them cornered.... You understand we were shocked!!!!!
At any rate beside these strong emotions with these animals, we had the chance of seeing the tribes I mention above which I honestly think it has been a very enriching experience! Our guides to visit those tribes (Jumma and Musa) where great as well. The cultural visit to the tribes was something we had not thought of doing, and now we are so happy we did.
Tanzania is beautiful and we are planning our next trip back obviously with Zohar Safari

Professional, Reliable and Outstanding Service
8 members of our family recently returned from a 7 day safari though Zohar African Safaris. Lily, the manager and our 3 guides (Sami, Fasal and Baraka) made sure that this safari will be a personal experience for each and every one of us by being attentive to each needs and interest. The organization, guiding was not less than OUTSTANDING and the personal attitude of our guides was warm and attentive threw the entire trip.
The whole experience of east africa safari was EXTRAORDINARY and UNFORGETTABLE.

A model of a service oriented company.
There were 8 of us, members of the family, ages 30 to 70 most of us never been to Africa before and one - me- with a couple of dafaris before.
The concesus has been: a lifetime experiece!
Zohar did an excellent job in arranging it all and making sure that everything flowed smoothly with great guides, Sami and Fasal who knew how to find the best corners to watch the animals yet, most of the times only us, without
the crowds.
The planning was perfect from the choice of the itinerary, places to stay and everything else.
Highly reccomended.

I cannot imagine a better approach nor better people with whom to do a safari--absolutely wonderful
The safari, if anything, exceeded my expectations. From the beginning I felt like we were a team-- me, my traveling companion, Lillian and Ken in planning the journey, and me and my friend and Sammy the chief guide and Baraka the driver, as we visited all of the people and animals we had wanted to see. I deeply appreciate the understanding of all of Zohar staff about the cultures and ecology of the region, their commitment to cultural tourism that gives back and contributes to the economic well-being of tribal people. Sammy the chief guide is superb as a companion and as a teacher/guide--he knows so much about the animals, their environment and behavior. It was like taking a course--only a lot more fun! Every day a field trip! And the cultural visits were moving, personal and natural, and I felt as though I were contributing as well as learning about how those we visited live. I also appreciated Zohar staff interest in and enthusiasm for helping us identify effective NGO's working on land rights and health with some of these communities. In short--I feel as though I did more than touch the surface of this fascinating, beautiful region of Tanzania. I felt really connected. This isn't even to mention the lions, the elephants. . .

Extraordinary Safari with Zohar
I just returned from Safari organized by Zohar African Safaris, and they exceeded what were my already high expectations for them. Initially, we had numerous pre-trip conversations with Lili Maximillian and Ken Firestone to customize our journey. In addition to wildlife, we wanted to visit with local people and meet with NGOs. Lili arranged our itinerary to accomplish these objectives. Our guide for 9 days was Sammy Sikumbe, a man of many talents -- eight years of elephant research, expert ornithologist, consultant to US zoos and lecturer in US schools, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, speaker of seven languages and player of four musical instruments. A conversationalist who could respond to our many questions on wildlife and conservation, but also the wider context of Tanzania people and politics and culture. Zohar also arranged for local guides - residents in areas where we visited tribal villages -- to introduce us to their people (in Mto Wa Mbu, Lake Eyasi [Hadzabe and Datoga] and Ngorongoro highlands [Maasai]). Finally, Zohar set up encounters with local NGOs working in areas of public health, land rights and conflict mediation - where we gained deeper insights into challenges and solutions to improve local lives, sustain livelihoods and protect traditional cultures and threatened wildlife and habitat. Every night, we enjoyed comfortable accommodations and great food. Elephants rumbled outside our tent one night, we woke and took our cups of coffee to greet them in the morning - a gentle and memorable meeting. I whole-heartedly recommend Zohar to anyone who wants to go beyond the beaten track of other Land Cruisers and engage with the broader context beyond the game parks, as well as experience Serengetiti, Ngorongoro crater, Manyara, Tarangire and other places where extraordinary wildlife gather.
