Fantastic experience, highly recommend booking with Zohar!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Zohar! I was nervous to book the safari for many reasons: it was our first time visiting an African country, we were in the middle of an extended world trip and so our luggage situation was not ideal, and although I researched thoroughly I was still always slightly concerned that things sounded better on paper than they would be in real life.
I did not need to worry! Lilian and the team at Zohar were so professional and really took care of everything. Pre-travel, the safari guides and emails received were very helpful. We always received quick responses (or an explanation as to why there might be a delayed response). Lilian was always happy to do whatever she could to help us prepare for the trip. When we arrived, we had a WhatsApp group so that we could easily talk with the team if needed (although this was usually for photo sharing). Lilian also met with us in person before we left Arusha, to go over everything and answer any last questions. We were surprised when Jacqueline came to the airport to say goodbye before we left for Zanzibar (we had not expected anyone). It made us feel appreciated that the team at Zohar wanted to meet in person to make sure all our questions were answered and that we had a good time. We also appreciated the gifts of custom water bottles for the safari (reduce the plastic waste of many smaller water bottles!) and coffee beans to take home.
All of the hotel and itinerary recommendations were spot on and we enjoyed every moment. My kids are picky about where we stay and they really liked all of the places that were booked for us. Lilian warned us in advance about any quirks of the accommodations, which are expected when you are staying in a national park, but they were still clean, comfortable, safe and provided ensuite bathrooms and hot showers!
We were in Tanzania for 3 weeks and did not need to think about anything- as Lilian said, our only job was to show up on time, they took care of the rest! We appreciated them checking in with us frequently and being on top of it when (rarely) an issue arose. Solomon and Goodluck were fantastic safari guides and my kids still can’t believe we got to see a cheetah run at top speed in the wild to capture a gazelle! Some other unforgettable safari moments were having a herd of elephants come so close to us we could have touched them if we reached out, seeing a lion family resting on a rock and watching a mama lion catch breakfast for her cubs. We really appreciated Solomon and Goodluck’s expert driving, vast knowledge, keen eye and patience with our questions (and for their patience with our kids!).
We were also grateful that we received some authentic experiences. We were able to visit with multiple Tanzanian tribes, and felt that this was done in a manner that was very respectful of the culture. We tried local foods and even got to do a cooking class in Zanzibar.
We are so grateful for the skill and expertise of Lilian, Solomon, Goodluck and the rest of the team at Zohar. I had emailed many companies for quotes but Lilian stood out in many areas- price, quality of accommodations, speed of replies and ability to craft an itinerary that was ideal for my family. We felt that we were not another large group of tourists, like some of the other groups we saw, and that they truly wanted us to see what Tanzania was about. They also wanted to make sure our trip was memorable and comfortable, and the little details were always attended to (even cleaning the safari truck daily when possible!). I would 100% recommend Zohar to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

The best tour operator in Tanzania
Good afternoon, everyone!
We went on a Safari from Zahar Safaris in December and I can say this is the best safari tour organiser in Tanzania.
We saw a lot of wonderful animals in the Serengeti Park. We also got a small Zohar gifts (water bottle etc).
We are very grateful for organising an individual tour for us. And the hotel was wonderful!
Thank you again and we would recommend it to all people!

It was an excellent and complete experience to travel with Zohar Safaris
Zohar Safaris arranged a complete safari experience including very interesting cultural experiences. The sites were amazing and we have seen the big five and more! The duration of our stay was 2,5 weeks and included several parks: Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ndutu & Great Migration Camp and Ngorongoro Crater.
We had a wonderful driver/ guide (David), who knows a lot about the areas we visited and had many interesting stories and information about wildlife as well about living in Tanzania in general. My daughter and I love photography and a big advantage was that he knew how to position us when we wanted to take pictures. Guiding from Zohar safari was excellent and caring…..we love to go back one day!!

Amazing Safari
I was looking for a tour company for safari when recently in Tanzania and thankfully I came across Zohar.
I wanted to travel with a local cpany and not an internally owned company and I was extremely happy with the tour.
Lilian, the founder, was brilliant and very involved in the whe booking process. I was travelling on my own and she really looked after me. Reassured me about the trip and her style was impeccable.
The communication, accomodation choices, food and the 4WD was new and well kept.
There was no problems on the tour and my guide, Solomon was so experienced, knowledgeable, always on time and made my trip fantastic.
If you want a great safari experience in Serengeti, do yourself a favour and speak with Zohar, you won't be disappointed.

an excellent itinerary, great informative guides, wonderful attention to detail and great service
If you want an African safari, go no further than Zohar. 9 of us travelled to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. The drivers were informative, friendly, and great drivers. The vehicles were spotless, well maintained and very well appointed. The accommodation selections were excellent especially singing grass camp in Serengeti. We had a wonderful trip, saw all the animals' multiple times and got a real insight into Africa.
Our group had people from 90 years old down to 15 years old and Zohar catered for all of us very well.

Highly professional, with a incredible knowledge of the wildlife and culture.
The experience we had with Zohar Safaris was incredible. The experience s and memories they enabled us to create were beyond our greatest hopes. The drivers were highly professional, taking care of everyone’s needs and making sure we saw an enormous number of game. They were extremely knowledgeable about the local culture, flora and fainter and their extensive experience as guides lead us to many animal sightings.
They took care of the elderly members of the group with patience, ensuring everyone had a wonderful experience.
