Zanzi African Safaris – A Truly Exceptional Masai Mara Experience
African Safaris turned out to be one of those rare travel experiences where everything quietly exceeds expectation. The moment we stepped into their small, cosy office in Nairobi, it was clear we were dealing with a young company (just about two years old) that cares deeply about what they do. There’s an intimacy to the space and an unforced warmth to the people—nothing flashy, nothing performative, just genuine hospitality.
What truly set Zanzi apart was the team itself. Their agents were not only courteous and professional, but remarkably friendly—much more than we expected. You get the feeling they actually enjoy meeting travelers, not just booking trips for them. Their enthusiasm for the Safari experience was infectious; they spoke about the Mara with the kind of passion that only comes from people who have experienced it themselves, and still haven’t lost the wonder.
Another thing we appreciated: they were wonderfully mindful about cost. Instead of pushing fixed or expensive packages, they took actual time to listen to our priorities and designed an itinerary that fit our budget without compromising the richness of the adventure. It never felt like savings meant sacrifice.
Throughout the journey, every logistical detail—from pickup to park entry to accommodation—ran smoothly. The guide they arranged was knowledgeable, patient, and deeply respectful of both wildlife and local communities. Even small gestures—regular check-ins, quick WhatsApp responses, offering tips for better sightings—made the whole experience feel personalized.
Zanzi African Safaris may be a young company, but they’re already operating with the heart, integrity, and professionalism of an outfit that deserves to become a big name. We’d recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone dreaming of the Masai Mara.

Hard worker
I went on a safari tour with the Maasai tribe. During the Maasai village tour, they demanded souvenirs, as they rely on tourism to make a living. It was a bit disconcerting at first. On the other hand, it was heartbreaking to see how they had to make a living. Still, it was fascinating to experience the Maasai tribe's lifestyle and traditional culture.
The safari was a treat. Our guide, Bryan, did his best to show us the animals. He constantly communicated with us via walkie-talkie, ensuring we had the best memories :)

Very close and easy to reach, immediate responses
Communication very close, Lydi was always taking care of us, asking how it was going. What you book is just what you obtain, no surprises. Value for money is a 10. The tour was perfect, we got to see all the animals in the different parks, the big 5 completed!!
Thanks a lot to all the team!!
