2 Day Ruaha
My son and I have 2 wonderful day in Ruaha National Park. Sam took great care of us, driving safely, spotting the animals, providing plenty of explanations. We spent the night at Asanja lodge with stunning view over the river

Great guide in-depth knowledge of animals
We spent a weekend (four people, Friday to Sunday) in Mikumi National Park, and everything related to the wildlife and overall park experience was fantastic. Our guide, Louis, was truly passionate about his work. He never rushed through the park or pressured us to move on quickly. We could sit quietly in one spot for up to 45 minutes, watching impalas, marabou storks, zebras, and gnus with the engine turned off, while Louis explained their mating and foraging behaviors in fascinating detail.
He showed us lions, elephants, bulls, and giraffes—all at the same relaxed pace, sharing a wealth of knowledge at every turn. It was also amazing to learn about the savanna’s plant life: trees that produce alcoholic fruit, trees with slick bark, towering baobabs, and much more.
Louis always found the perfect spots to observe wildlife without disturbing the animals or making us feel unsafe. He answered all our questions confidently, and when he didn’t know something, he openly admitted it—something we greatly appreciated. His humility and dedication stood out and made the experience truly special.
What I liked less—though it was still acceptable—was the communication with the manager of the local safari company. We were picked up at the Morogoro train station and sent off with someone we had never met, to a camp we hadn’t been told about in advance. The camp was quite basic: the air in the lodges was musty, and the food was average. This part of the service could definitely be improved.
That said, if you ask me whether I’d recommend Zapisa African Safaris—absolutely. They have fantastic guides who are knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely love what they do.

unforgettable holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar
Zepisa organized our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We visited the Tarangire, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Serengeti. The trip was well organized, with four unforgettable nights in a tent in the Serengeti. We saw many animals, including several felines in the Serengeti. The guides, Omary and Sam, were fantastic. They were experienced, helpful, and careful.
Mr Nyemo the owner of the agency has always responded promptly to our requests.

Maximum reliability and accuracy.
My safari was fantastic, I saw amazing animals!
They understood what I wanted and organized the safari accordingly. The animals were important to me, I didn't ask for luxury, so I got exactly from Zepisa what I asked for. They didn't offer the lowest price among several other companies, but it was probably the best value for money. Communication was good via email, and Nyemo typically responded quickly to my questions.
The organization was perfect and Omaru was an outstanding guide.
Which doesn't matter much in retrospect, but it does help improve the service:
1. Just before departure I asked for a final itinerary, which was not up to date, it was the same one I had received months earlier.
2. Unfortunately Lake Manyara is nowhere near what it was a few years ago. I should have been informed about this.
Apart from small inconveniences of Taji House everything went very well. If I were to go again, I would ask Zepisa Tours to organize it again!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience in Serengeti National Park
I spent 3 days in the Serengeti, and it was an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience. My friends and I had a private tour with a great guide who had in-depth knowledge about the animals. His expertise made our tour more exciting and meaningful. We even joked that we wanted a 1-hour lecture every night because listening to him talk about animals was so fascinating.
We didn’t upgrade our accommodation(Taji House), but if we had been informed that there was no hot water, we definitely would have. Apart from that, the place was worth the price. Every meal was satisfying, and the morning view was simply wonderful.
Overall, I highly recommend Zepisa!

Great operator, we really enjoyed our safari trip!
We made a safari booking with Zepisa that took us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. The guide, Gilbert, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave us space to enjoy the experience without constant interruption, and was sensitive to our needs. Both the guide and operator were professional and flexible throughout the experience.
