Amazing Experiance!
5/5

Our safari with Zohar African Safaris was wonderful! We couldn't be happier with the experience. Lilian was extremely helpful and always available if we had questions before and during the trip. We saw so many animals and the lodgings were comfortable. Even the food was great! I highly recommend this safari company.

4/5

21st December till 29th December we did a ‘safari’ that was organised by Zohar Safari Tours. It was a very well organised trip. The lodges were very good and comfortable, the guide was very nice and knew a lot about the animals and the area, the timeschedule was very good so we saw a lot and learned a lot about Tanzania and its wildlife. If anybody wants to make a trip to the national parks of Tanzania we would recommend Zohar Safari Tours to do the organisation. They listened to what we wanted but also advised us where to go or not.
It was a wonderful holiday!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful tour operator!! Warm recommendation and a great experience.
5/5

We just got back from an amazing two weeks trip to Tanzania which was orgenized by Zohar African safari company. We traveled with our 4 children (7,13, 18,20) and it was great from the begining to the end. Lilian and Ken attended all of my requests (and i had plenty) from the moment i first contacted them until we got back home, they did everything to get us the best of everything. Lilian orgenized perfectly every little thing for us and went over (seriously) to all lodges prior to our stay, to make sure we will have what we asked for. We had a warm, knowledgable, funny and gentle guide with us, which was also a great musician. We loved to have him with us. We wanted to meet the locals as well as to have a great safari, we got what we asked for, and more! Safari at the Serngeti is an exciting experience and we also visited lake Maniara and the Ngorongoro crater. We met so many intersting people and had a great expeience getting to know local tribes and vising the villages with local guides assigned to us by Lilian. Both guides knew so much about the locals that we visited, it could'nt have been the same without them. All in all, if you are looking for a tour operator in Tanzania to orgenize your dream vacation, do not hesitate to contact Lilian and/or Ken, i am certain you will not be sorry. This company is reliable, and you will find everything orgenized even better then you asked for.
And here are some tips if you go on safari- Do not forget to bring a good camera with great zoom and also some good binoculars if you can. I do recommend to have at least one night in a tented camp. Its great! Do not carry too much with you, if you change your accommodation every day and don't miss meeting the locals. Get some snacks before leaving to the safari, it may come in handy with kids.

We went on April, the wet season... and had a great weather, not too hot, not cold, and not too much rain either so it was perfect, and the savanna was all green and very beautiful with lots of baby animals....

Thank you Lilian, Ken, and Sammy, you have all made our trip perfect. We loved Tanzania.

perfect !
5/5

we booked a 9 day safari with Zohar and we just had the best of times. we travelled with our three children (13-11-8) and everybody hugely loved the experience. First the planning of the safari was exellent as Lilian is very prompt to answer any of your questions, gives you advise and basically is excellent at organising a safari that fits your personality and expectations. the lodges that were chosen were all very good with safe food which is important as you don't want anybody falling sick and missing 4 days of the safari ! Our guide Fasal was simply the best ! He was entertaining for the children but taught them so much about the wildlife, the environment and just about respect that we simply enjoyed every minute with him. Whether it be Lilian from the organisation point of view or Fasal for the safari, everything was just perfect! it was a once in a lifetime experience and they made sure that we would never forget it. We all as a family strongly recommend Zohar African safaris!

Unforgettable Safari Experience
5/5

We highly recommend Zohar African Safaris. Lilian the tour director was amazing! She arranged everything on short notice; great lodgings, excellent guides. Justus (Kenya) and Fazal (Tanzania) were very knowledgeable about the animals and birds in their countries. Had a wonderful, unforgettable two weeks on safari!

Hundreds of cast with Lilian and Fazal
5/5

Communications during a six months period of preparation were excellent. Lilian, the manager of Zohar, is a plus for everything and has a great knowledgeability of the sector. She followed us at the beginning, during and at the end of Safari. She is really a reliable, efficient and competent director. Fazal was a great guide and an excellent driver. Thanks to him we saw a lot of animals, expecially cats. He has a great knowledgeability of the parks, of Tanzanian natural life and he is a kind and polite man you can speak with of many things. The car was good, confortable and quite reliable. The lodges and camps we chose following the tips of Lilian were really good, confortable, fine and safe. All in all, a wonderful experience.

"It's Your Safara"
5/5

Without a doubt, my 6-day safari with Zohar was one of the best holidays of my life...all thanks to Lilian (tour owner) and Lawrence (guide). When searching for a safari tour, I knew what I did not want. I wanted to avoid a checklist of Big 5 animals where the sightings were spoon fed to me while racing across the Serengeti. What I did want were unobtrusive encounters with all the wildlife that Tanzania had to offer. When Lilian explained to me that she was providing me a customized tour and stated "It's your safari", I knew I had chosen the right agency.

She was very responsive and worked within my budget. I had booked the safari less than 30 days of departure and she was able to make all of my accommodations on short notice. When my plane landed in Arusha, she had taken care of nearly every detail and all I had to worry about was making sure my camera was charged up.

I know other safari clients will state that their guide was the best, but I don't see how I could have had a better guide than Lawrence. His passion and respect for all animals was immediately evident. He had extensive knowledge of mammals, reptiles, birds and plants. Every time I asked "What is that?", he had the answer. His ability to spot animals was amazing. We saw over a hundred lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, hippos, a few cheetah, leopards and rhino. He was a true professional, a good conversationalist, and he became a friend in the end.

For my first multi-day safari, Zohar far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to returning to Tanzania and would eagerly choose them again.

6 days private safari
5/5

We did a 6 days private safari with Zohar. We went to Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. Especially Ndutu was a wonderful experience, in this park (the only one) you are allowed to drive offroad.
We where very lucky with the weather, although it was light rainy season...we did't had much rain. Our guides name is Sammy and we had a good time. We have seen all the animals, including the big 5. It was amazing.
The lodges and tented camps were great.
Lillian (the owner) gave us her advise from the beginning and that was much appreciated, she is really thinking with you. She replied all the times really quickly and clear. We loved the fact we did a private tour, so we could arrange everything like we wanted to. It also gives you the exact time you need for making pictures etc.
We can recommend Zohar to everyone.

unforgettable safari!
5/5

We chose Zohar African safaris after a lot of research due to the owners (Lilian) excellent knowledge and attention to details... and she is really nice :)

Lilian plans your private safari tailored to your desires and budget. She answered our questions quickly and clearly, and understood our preferences perfectly.

Our guide, David Dexter was great! He knows the parks and the animals behavior very well, which allowed us to see a lot of animals and witness many special moments.

Lilian worked within our budget and really made sure we got the most out of it. We Wouldn't had changed anything in the plan, The trip was amazing!

Thanks again Lilian :)

Outstanding safari
5/5

My husband and I had a 8 nights/9 days private tour in Serengeti, Tanzania with Zohar. My husband wanted to have Serengeti Safari tour for our 25th anniversary, I contacted couple of companies then finalize with Zohar because I like the communication, Lilian the owner of Zohar was really professional, she was vey prompt to reply and she explained everything before I made a deal with her. Once we reached to Arusha (at night) our guide Adam came to the airport to receive us, she came to meet us in the early morning before we left for the trip; she even helped me to plane the tour, she explained every detail. We went to Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater and lake Eyasi. She called me on our anniversary to congratulate, sent a personalized bottle of drink and said that she wanted to arrange a bush dinner for us but she did not get any confirmation from the hotel; we were surprised to see when we have found our guide Adam came with the anniversary cake along with the hotel stuffs after the dinner. Then next day we were treated with bush dinner in lake Eyasi lodge - it was such a wonderful experience and memorable experience to us. Our guide Adam was another wonderful addition to our trip, he was very knowledgable as a guide (he has a bachelor in Wildlife science) with full of humor, he made our every day of the trip outstanding. At the end of our trip when we came to the hotel in Arusha, we found Lilian was waiting in the lobby and she managed to give us a upgraded room to treat us for our anniversary - that was really awesome and relaxed stay after the trip. When Lilian came to know we were going to Zanzibar the following day, she even gave her friend travel agent number so we could reserve our tour at the least moment - that was very helpful. We will look forward to going to Tanzani and would definitely select them again.
