I can do it in one word….exceptional!
Amazing safari with Zohar Safaris! Lilian and her team leave no detail to chance. From the minute they picked us up at the airport, their attention to detail was exceptional. Guides, Derrick, Jeff, Solomon, and Nathan went above and beyond to ensure we saw as many animals possible…they are professionals! The camps/lodges were also great. Use Zohar for your adventure…you won’t be disappointed

Lillian made our Safari and extraordinary event!
Lillian was amazing! From our guides, the food, the accommodations, and all the animals we saw it was just outstanding. I highly recommend her company, she has such an insight with all the local people. It really makes a difference. It is also nice that it is truly a personalized experience, she took very seriously all our needs and requests. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Zohar is detailed, professional and caring!
We had a wonderful experience using Zohar. I really had no idea what to expect during our safari. Lilian and her team were very thoughtful and covered every detail of our safari. Zohar is like our African family now. Thank you Lilian for creating this experience!

Wonderful trip and team to work with!
My husband and I just returned from an incredible 2-week safari with Zohar, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we landed in Arusha until our departure, every detail was perfectly orchestrated. Our guide, Goodluck/Nathan, was exceptional – his hard work, knowledge, and passion for wildlife made every game drive exciting and educational. He truly cares and tried so hard to make sure that we could have the best experience, and we really did – 90+ lions, 4 rhinos, 4 cheetahs, 4 leopards, so many elephants/giraffes, the big migration, and so much more than what we expected.
In addition, the entire Zohar team is amazing! The itinerary was perfectly planned and customized for us, covering the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Zanzibar. Lilian is the best consultant; her knowledge about the entire regions and accommodation options is extensive. Her ability to understand our needs through the planning process and provide good recommendations is outstanding. The rest of the team, Jack and Rachel, were so supportive throughout the trip, and when we had some unexpected delay for our departure flight, they stayed in touch to make sure we were ok until almost midnight.
The accommodations exceeded our expectations - from luxury lodges to intimate tented camps. Falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush and waking up to sunrise over the Serengeti was magical. The staff at each location was wonderful, and the food was delicious and plentiful.
Overall, this is one of the best trips we have had! We hope that we will return and get to work with the amazing Zohar team soon!

The trip of a lifetime!
Our family had an incredible experience with Zohar African Safaris, including two days on the Serengeti, and one each in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Jackline worked with us to plan the trip of our dreams, including arranging for an indescribably gorgeous sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. Everything was meticulously planned for us, right from pickup at Kilimanjaro Airport in a spacious van with cool towels, delicious snacks, and fresh juice. Each of the lodges and the luxury tented camp had beautiful rooms with large and very comfortable beds, wifi, delicious buffet dinners and breakfasts, warm packed lunches, and friendly staff.
The safari days were led by our outstanding guide, Nathan. His genuine passion for nature and love for his job made the whole experience incredibly engaging and memorable. Nathan was patient, easy to talk to, and so knowledgeable. He made sure we saw the big five and many other animals - our favourite sights were the playful lion cubs, a leopard coming down from a tree for a drink, and the beautiful flamingos. Nathan went above and beyond every day, pausing whenever we wanted to take photos, always making sure we were fed and comfortable, and even tracking down our lost binoculars one evening.
The staff made sure to check in with us before, during, and after the trip, which really made our family feel valued and welcome. Our safari with Zohar exceeded all possible expectations, and we simply can’t imagine it having been any better. We highly recommend Zohar (especially Nathan!) for anyone looking for a luxurious, safe, and overall incredible experience.

An amazing trip thanks to an amazing team!
A stellar safari from start to finish. Zohar African Safaris came recommended by colleagues, and I am glad I took their advice. Lilian and her team listened to me to make sure they planned the safari I wanted. They weren't trying to sell me some off the shelf package tour. They provided what I wanted, where I wanted, when I wanted. And in the end, I couldn't have been happier. My guide Monah provided the right balance between asking what I wanted to see and do each day and giving me suggestions on where we should go. His experience paid off as he counseled patience so in the end we saw an amazing wildebeest crossing of the Mara River with no other vehicles around. You can't get better than that! Zohar also placed me in a wonderful camp, In The Wind, a new camp that has a great staff that provides top notch service not only to guests, but also to the guides. I had never really considered how important the camp's treatment of your guide is. Zohar strives to use camps that treats your guide well. Make sure this is part of what you request when you book. I could not have had a better trip and the whole team at Zohar African Safaris made this happen for me.

Best safari experience
This safari was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Our guide, Solomon, was super friendly and knew everything about the animals and the parks. We saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, and even a leopard up close, pretty much every animal we were hoping to see and more. It was amazing to be so close to the animals even at the camps, and the views were unreal. The whole trip was really well organized, the lodges were super nice, and everything felt safe and easy. You can tell the team really cares about what they do, and it made the trip feel extra special. I can’t recommend them enough 10/10 would go again!

Zohar goes above and beyond to give a personal touch
I highly recommend Zohar! When we landed in Arusha, we were greeted warmly by Meshack who gave us cooling towels and yummy snacks. We met Jacky and Rachel who gave us a detailed orientation. We then proceeded to the Arusha Serena lodge. Unfortunately, I fell sick. Meshack and Rachel took me to the doctor late at night and took such good care of me! You know you have picked the right team, when they dont just assist you with bookings, but go all out when things go wrong. Nathan and Goodluck took my family to the Kilimanjaro Shira Plateau which was a great start to our trip! We flew into Kogatende to spend the next 7 days driving through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Solomon, our guide, was incredible! His knowledge on culture and wildlife is amazing- a walking encyclopedia of Tanzania! He was funny and patient and got along so well with our family! Every game drive was spectacular and filled with adventure! We added a few activities last minute and Lilian and team made it happen! If you want a magical experience with a personal touch, choose Zohar!
