Fantastic
We booked from Belgium, directly with Zohar African safaris. We choosed for a tailor made safari. (20 days) Communication with Lilian, the owner off the company, was very good from the beginning. Always quick reply, well done description, day by day about our itinerary. She have a very good knowledge concerning lodges, hotels, places to visit. Once you are arrived , she is there for you, you can always call here when you have a request. It gives a very safe feeling.
The safari tour was also great. Accommodation was wonderfull ( Sangaiwe camp) David our guide, was very kind, and helpful. His knowledge about Tanzania, animals, tribes,..... is amazing.
We have visit Africa for more then 10 times, but this time was amazing, the best!!
Thank you so mutch Lilian , next time we want to visit Serengeti National Park, for sure it will be with Zohar African Safaris

I received an excellent service during my stay.
After looking into several safari companies, I decided to travel with this local owned boutique company because of how well they attention to details, they listen to their customers and provide them with what is best for the customer.
I had the most amazing New Year’s in Tanzania, and it’s all thanks to Zohar team. Jacqueline was super quick in responding to my questions tirelessly. As a solo traveler, it was very difficult to make most decisions because I was not sure what would be the best thing to do. I had a alot of questions as i wanted my trip to be perfect. I was lucky enough that Jacqueline was there to make sure all my questions were answered in details and I had everything I needed.
I had 3 days safari visiting Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro crater and it was a great combination of seeing animals and some nice activities. My guide Baraka was very knowledgeable, very helpful and caring.
When I arrived in Zanzibar, my guide Said was there to pick me up for Stone Town tour. The next day he picked me up for Spice tour before driving further to my beautiful apartment fews minute to the beach. Zanzibar beaches are just breathtaking and I wished I had more time there.
I had an amazing time and its all thanks to Zohar African Safaris Limited. Am looking forward into travelling with them again sometime in the future. I definitely recommend this local operator to anyone who is looking for one unforgetable lifetime experience.

A DREAM COME TRUE
We booked in quiet last minute, but Lilian assured us that everything was going to work out fine and it did. We couldn't have thought of going on safari with any other company. Every single detail was well taken care of and the attention and care we got was above and beyond from what we could have ever wished for. Solomon was our driver and he was extremely knowledgable, it was super impressive. I can't even imagine how many questions we asked, but he answered each one of them. It was such a pleasure learning Tanzania and it's culture through his expertise. We are definitely looking forward to come back and we would choose Zohar again in a blink of an eye.

Customised, personalised and unforgettable!
Zohar African Safaris provides customised, personalised safaris and immersive cultural experiences. Travelling with another solo female traveller and having limited time in Tanzania, Lillian provided us with a "best of" experience over 3 days - at very short notice. Our highly qualified and knowledgable guide took us to Tarangire National Park on the first day, where we saw an abundance of wildlife, followed by a most comfortable stay at at the spacious Safari Lodge. The Tanzanian sunrise overlooking the national park was breathtaking! Day 2 saw us at the Majimoto Boardwalk and Hot Springs in Lake Manyara National Park to check out the sea of pink flamingos - my personal favourite. We were then treated to a traditional lunch in a family home, with delicious food and warm hospitality. A bike ride through the villages and countryside, chatting to locals and even tasting banana wine at a local 'pub' in Mto wa Mbu was the highlight. We spent overnight in the wonderfully appointed Country Lodge, with a hearty breakfast, before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We had incredible views of the crater before descending into the crater itself, again seeing a plethora of wildlife, a lion crossing our path only a few meters away!
Lillian and her team expertly tailored the experience, with a highly qualified and friendly guide who ensured the whole safari was hassle free - from the moment of pick up to drop off back to our hotel. I cannot recommend Zohar African Safaris highly enough, for a truly unique, authentic and unforgettable experience!

Experience and memories that will last a lifetime. Best company.
We are a couple who went on a 6 day safari with Zohar. We found Zohar on this site and was one of about 5 we had narrowed down to. After communicating with zohar, we were sure we wanted to go with this company. Zohar was great with communication from day one. It took us several weeks to finalize our plans and Zohar was caring and thoughtful in helping us finalize our plans. We asked lots of questions and they always answered them thoroughly. They helped us put together the absolute best itinerary and worked with our budget to make our dream come true. Communication with Zohar was excellent during the planning process and throughout the safari. The service on safari was amazing. We loved all of our accommodations on safari. They were all memorable and I don't know how anything with the accommodations could be improved. All comfortable and beautiful. Food was always top notch. The safari Land Cruiser was absolutely awesome!! We had a blast riding in that thing. Our guide, Solomon, was the best guide. We could not have had a better fit for us. He was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited, the animals, and he is an excellent driver in all conditions. We had 100% confidence in his driving abilities and it was clear that he was very experienced in the rough terrain. We felt safe with Solomon and we learned so much about the animals and the areas we visited. We shared a lot of laughs and will always remember him. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with this amazing trip and Zohar went above and beyond to make us feel so special. They provided experiences that we will always remember. The lunches on safari were the best. Everyone on other safaris would be having a lunch box, but with Zohar, we had the best meals with a table setting and excellent food. Very memorable and this is one thing Zohar does to set themselves apart from other companies. Plenty of water provided in the LandCruiser's refrigerator. I drink a lot of water daily and we never ran low. We saw the big 5 on our trip. Of course this is never a guarantee and we weren't promised anything like that, but I just want to put out there that we did see all of the big 5. We were able to visit Tarangere, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi, and of course we went to the Serengeti. We covered a lot of ground on this trip. We were absolutely in the best hands. I would use Zohar again and again and I highly recommend them. Thank you Zohar.
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience on a 2-day safari organized by Zohar African Tour. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and a Masai Village. The level of attention was oustanding from all, including Lilian, Jackline, and Frank. Lilian is the big boss and she gave us a warm welcome as soon as we arrived and even had organized a home cooked meal from her house for our first day at the safari! Jackline was attentive since day one with helping organize this adventure, getting us the best accommodation, giving us a warm welcome as well and personally checking up with us after the safari was over. Frank was our ranger - an absolutely AMAZING, funny, genuine, and honest man. He spent both days with us making sure we get the best experience possible, accommodating the vehicle to get the best pictures of the animals, and being extremely flexible with our wants! A safari is a breathtaking experience, which can only get better if you let the right people organize it for you. Thank you to the Zohar African Safari team for letting us trust you with this! THANK YOU! We would 100% recommend them and would love to go back ourselves for a longer safari trip to the Serengeti!

Like a family
From the moment I first contacted Zohar to the last (actually there isn't a last yet as we are still exchanging messages) I felt welcomed and important to the Zohar family. Lilian has been amazing in organizing and accommodating my group. We had to postpone our initial trip (July 2018) due to an injury to one of the members of the group and Lilian had no problem with this. She allowed us to give dates for a year later at no extra cost. We were welcomed into their homes with home cooked meals the night before we started our climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. The staff that supported us in the climb were first rate with all of them being friendly and helpful. The guides (Imran and Gideon) were very knowledgeable and experienced. The cook (Haruna) prepared excellent meals with more food than we could eat. The porters were very strong and honest. From the first moment to the last on the climb, it was an outstanding experience.
I am planning on organizing another trip with Zohar next year to see the Serengeti and I know it will be excellent.

An amazing experience with Zohar African Safaris that we will remember our entire life !
My Girlfriend and I booked our Safaris with Zohar African Safaris 2 months before our trip Summer 2019.
I e-met Lilian and Jackline by email with Safari booking, who have been so nice and very much available for any question / requests we had.
We felt immediately confident and reassured about the profesionalism of Zohar African Safari.
Taylor Made is really what charachterises Zohar African Safaris.
To sum up : profesionnal, friendly, well equiped (modern vehicle with fridge, binoculars, comfort) great advices, adventure, cosy, top food, TaylorMade).
Jackline organized for us exactly what we wanted, giving us a lot of detais and advices in advance to answer our questions. We did a 3 days safaris (Tarrangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater) - with 2 nigtht in 2 amazing and charming lodges (quality, comfort, private ensuites) near the parks.
We also had our own safari guide for ourself - David, who has more than 15 years of experience, and who has been an absolute star during these 3 days. Available for all explanations, funny, profesionnal, local and open minde, ginving us our intimacy as well. So very flexible, listening and naturally understanding our expectations. We managed to see Lions (males and femals), buffalos, elephants, rhino, hippo, girafes, zebras, gnus, pumbas, monkeys, pink flamingos, and so much more! . David managed to see a Lion 500 meters before the Lion actually cross the path where we were minutes later. Unbelievable experience.
Lilian also organized for us to come to pick us up in the night at the airport (where Mathew was waiting for us - as well as driving us back to the airport after the safari). We stayed One night at their hotel in their office on arrival as well as after the safari before our early morning flight back to France. And we must say that Jackline is an excellent cook, and Lili makes the best samosas I ever tasted :) . So also very much delighted for having stayed at their hotal prior and after the safari.
We realised that Zohar African Safaris is very much Taylor Made, exclusive and local, which is really what we wanted. we were very much satisfied about the price we paid for the experience and services we had - taking into account having our own safari guide David for ourselves, showing us all the beauty of the parks and, great lunches in the nature with homemade food (vegetable, meat, coffe, tea, soft drinks, possibility to bring wine, etc). when most of other tourists were having hotel's lunch boxes. Modern vehicle as well etc.
We coul not be more satisfied about our safari with Zohar African Safaris. Thank you so much Lili. Wishing you all the best for the future. You now have 2 new ambassadors in France ;)
You can check on Tripadvisor (where I have added some pictures as well :) ).
I recommend 100% Zohar African Safari :)

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE- AMAZING SERVICE!!
We did a tailored 7 day tour with Zohar African Safaris. Lillie organized everything for us and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. We started in Ngorongoro, following day from Lake Easy we went hunting with Hazabe tribe (unique experience!), then did Serengeti for 4 nights and the driver took us to the border with Kenya where another driver was waiting for us to follow with 2 days in Masai Mara.
We saw everything there is to see (except Rhinos since they are very very difficult). We saw cheetahs hunting, leopards hunting, we saw cheetahs, leopards and Lions Cubs; we saw great migration herds crossing the Mara river, incredible!!!
Our guide in Tanzania David, was very nice and knew a lot about animals, he took the time to explain and show us everything; highly recommend him.
Zohar's staff would call us and text us making sure everything was ok, we were very well taken care of.
Lillie (the owner) offered us accommodation at her house for our first night because we arrived 2 am. She waited for us with food and even did an amazing breakfast the following day. She made sure there was personalized wine for our 8th anniversary and arranged for a surprise cake and dance in one of the hotels, incredible!
Not only did Lillie organize all our safari in Tanzania and Kenya, but she also helped me get a better rate in a hotel in Diani, a hotel I wasn’t even booking through her! she took the time to contact them and got me a 60 USD discount! She really goes above and beyond to help!!
I 100% recommend Lillie and her staff! Not only the service was great, but before the trip she took the time to really adapt to the itinerary I wanted.
Thanks for everything and keep the great work!! it is amazing to feel everything has been taken care of!
