One of the best yet
This is my fifth year taking groups on the safari excursion and I must say that this year was one of the best yet. This was my first time using Antonio Safaris and will not be my last. Superb customer service. Top notch vehicles and a provided knowledge on each location.

Trip of a lifetime
I went on the 6 day canoe trip from Kariba to Mana Pools. It was a rich experience that allowed us to experience the animals and nature in a very intimate way. It was a bit scary at times to feel so vulnerable with the animals, however, our guides made us feel safe. They are exceptionally well trained and comfortable on the river, especially our lead guide Manu. It was truly humbling to be able to spend these days with the guides and animals in such a beautiful environment.

Absolutely fabulous tour operators.
I have just completed a 2 week tour with Twiga in Kenya. Our driver, Humphrey, was fabulous. Full of information about the animals and birds, and if he didn't know he'd look it up for us. We saw all the big '5' as they say plus some very elusive animals, like the wild dogs. We saw a cheetah stalking it's prey, and hippo's, crocodiles and birds galore. We also saw the annual migration of wilderbeasts. I highly recommend this company.

Amazing adventure and memorable experience with The Great Adventure Africa
I and my boyfriend had a 4 days adventure in the 3 major parks in Tanzania as part of our vacation. We found a really nice group, we were 6 individuals in the safari jeep. Our guide (Gabriel) was so much experienced, he made our tour very satisfying and enjoyable. He would answer to every question about animals and nature, thus creating an amazing experience.
The 3 nights in camping were an adventure in the middle of tanzanian parks. You could find animals like zebra and gazzeles just outside our tent. A chef cooked different fresh meals everyday lunch dinner and breakfast. You will find your tent ready every night.
We saw all the major animals from a very near view. We also visited the archaeological sites with evidence of human origin like Olduvai Gorge.
The trip was really adventurous, created a life memories and we also made new friends.
I recommend The Great Adventure Africa for an amazing tour experience in Tanzania!

We had a great time in Amboselli and Masai Mara thanks to Jocky tours, especially our guide Joshua!
Our tour guide Joshua was brilliant, he was so knowledgable about the animals and the park. We saw the big five and even got to see the Mara river crossing! It was a brilliant experience and great value for money. If you’re booking with jocky tours ask for Joshua!

Samburu and Aberdare safaris
We had a really good guide, which made our safaris unforgettable. I think he is the best. He had a really lot of experience. For example, nobody had seen leopard in Samburu for 4 days, but he found it. There was a really good communication with this company, they prepared for us the best itinerary according to our needs. Please prepare for paying deposit which is 100% few days before safari start. They can also be flexible if there is something missing to you or you are not enjoying any of your itinerary. We should go for 2 days to Aberdares, but once we found out there is a quite dense forrest and animals are rare to see during the day on game drives, they offered us swap for hiking on Mount Kenya National Park where we see some interesting animals.

Thank you Zohar team for an Unforgettable Experience
Going on a real African safari has been on my bucket list for decades. So, when we finally decided to go ahead with it, I spent a very long time searching for the best possible travel experience contacting and comparing many different companies. Zohar stood out from day one, initially thanks to how both Jacqueline at first and later on Lilian communicated with me. I had a million questions which were always answered promptly and with a lot of patience (as I do tend to go into a lot of detail 😊). This reassured me. Lilian adapted the itinerary to our wishes and did her utmost best to stay within the budget we had fixed for this trip. For every day of the tour, she proposed a selection of lodges to choose from.
We just came back yesterday from our 12 day vacation in Tanzania. The first 6 days were fully organized by Zohar after which we spent 5 nights in Zanzibar. Upon arrival, when we stepped out of the airport our safari guide (Solomon) was there waiting for us. When we got to the car we were presented with refreshing towels and fresh fruit juice. We also received water bottles with our names on to use during the safari.
As we arrived late at night, we had scheduled to take a day to relax and leave on safari on day 2. Both Lilian and Solomon took out time to come and see us in our lodge to give more detailed information and useful tips to make our safari experience as good as possible. I was very happy to be able to meet Lilian in person after having communicated with her by email for so long.
Over the next 4 days we visited Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro National Parks and we also made a cultural village visit (Mto Wa Mbu) and an authentic Masai cultural visit. Solomon was with us every step of the way. He is extremely knowledgeable about nature, animals, local culture and was able to spot the wild life from miles away. He is also a very good and safe driver. We were truly impressed.
Our first game drive (Tarangire) happened to be on my birthday. I never mentioned this but somehow when we arrived at our lodge late afternoon, there was an ice bucket with a bottle of champagne with my name on the label and a card from Zoha waiting for me in our room. As if that was not enough, I also received a birthday cake + sing and dance after dinner by the staff of the lodge.
All along the 6 days Lilian and her team stayed in touch with us through a WhatsApp group that she created a few weeks before our departure. Before our departure Rachel was in touch with us through the group to share valuable tips on what to know and pack for the trip.
We spent our last night not too far from the airport to catch an early flight to Zanzibar the following morning. I really appreciate that Lilian took out time (on a Sunday) to come on see us personally to say goodbye even though she just returned from a very long drive and was really tired.
Conclusion: I never experienced this level of customer service and personal attention anywhere in my life. I have travelled a lot over the years (personal and professional) so I am quite qualified to compare. We will book with Zohar again for sure and I advise anybody reading this review to do the same, you will not regret it.
