Good communicators, personal service and thoughtful, knowledgeable guiding
Zeph and team were great from start to finish. They provided good communication about the options to choose from and through the booking process. A personal welcome at the airport was helpful especially after a long journey to Arusha.
Our guide Isa was superb. He was a safe and experienced driver, which reassured us because some days involve a substantial amount of time in the Jeep. He knew the routes to avoid the crowds of safari vehicles most of the time and was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. He was a great spotter of animals and let us have the time to watch behaviours. Plus, he was patient and good humoured throughout.
I also used RA to add on a trip to Zanzibar, which was well organised. My friendly and adaptable guide shared a lot of information about the country and provided a quick but thorough tour of Stone Town.
It felt good to know we were supporting a small, locally based company and the local knowledge and attention really shone through. There are many safari companies in Tanzania and it can be difficult to know who to pick. I heartily recommend RA Safaris.

Excellent, well organized Safari experience
Communication with Jerome was great. He is very responsive and answered all our questions. We were picked up from the airport, and Jerome came to meet us at the hotel, with pre charged SIM cards since we did not have an opportunity to get them before the Safari. I strongly recommend using Meru slopes for a safari. Everything was arranged perfectly. Our driver Asantaeli was great!

Amazing Lion King Adventures ＆ MURSHID !‼︎‼︎!
This was our first trip to Tanzania, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Lion King Adventures, everything—from planning to the safari itself—was perfectly organized.
We traveled for 4 nights and 5 days, starting with a night in Arusha, followed by 3.5 days of game drives in Ngorongoro, Serengeti (Seronera), Ndutu, and Lake Manyara. Despite our limited time, the itinerary was well designed and allowed us to see an incredible variety of wildlife and landscapes.
During the planning stage, Riziki and Naurey were extremely helpful. Their replies were fast, detailed, and very thoughtful. They carefully adjusted the plan to match our wishes and suggested great ideas so we could make the most of our limited schedule. From the beginning, we felt very reassured and well supported.
Our safari guide, MURSHID, was absolutely outstanding. He was friendly, humorous, and very considerate. Even though our English is not perfect, he explained everything clearly and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Thanks to his excellent knowledge, sharp eyesight, and constant communication with other guides, we were able to see all of the Big Five, Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, and many touching parent-and-child moments—an unforgettable highlight.
One moment that left a particularly strong impression on us was spotting a leopard. MURSHID knew exactly where leopards tend to hide and patiently searched the area, carefully scanning the surroundings. Leopards are masters of camouflage, but thanks to his experience and persistence, we finally found one. It was an unforgettable and emotional moment for us.
We traveled during the rainy season, but MURSHID’s driving skills, time management, and flexibility were impressive. What surprised us especially was that even though the vehicle became completely covered in mud during the day, it was always perfectly clean and spotless the next morning. This level of professionalism and care truly impressed us.
We honestly cannot thank MURSHID enough—he is the best guide we could have ever asked for.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Lion King Adventures and especially MURSHID without hesitation.
This safari exceeded all our expectations, and we will treasure these memories forever.

We had an amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Bison Safaris.
We had an amazing time on our 8 day wildlife adventure with Bison Safaris. We visited three national reserves - Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara - and took a scenic trip to Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island to walk with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and more.
The highlights of the trip were the game drives around the national reserves where we experienced Kenyan wildlife at its finest, including the Big 5. Our guide Antony, who took care of us during our whole trip, was extremely helpful, kind, and really knew his way around to show us the best the reserves had to offer. Thanks to Antony we were able to see amazing sightings on every game drive and had some really unforgettable moments especially in Maasai Mara.
We had a truly wonderful trip, and were also very happy with all accommodations and meals (especially the bush lunch experience!) and communication with Maggie and Lawrence. We would definitely recommend Bison Safaris for an unforgettable safari experience.

A very reliable tour operator, especially my guide (Yasin Abdi). He is amazing!!!
I had no expectation for my safari as I haven’t had one. But Yasin Abdi made my first Safari Trip an unforgettable experience. He always chose the best for us. He didn’t decide everything by himself but he asked us first, if we (the team) is fine with his idea. What I love about Yasin is, that he won’t try to get to close to the animals that didn’t want to come near us. He kept his distance as he is being respectful for the wildlife. Which I found an amazing gesture as a guide. And Yasin has a knowledge for the stuffs we gonna see during Safari. The Hotels that we chose was amazing. Overall I’m very satisfied with Axis Afrika and also our Guide, Yasin Abdi 🥰 keep up the good work!

Confident with deep knowledge and desire for a fun experience
Chrispus is an absolute gem! His deep knowledge of the animal kingdom shines through in every moment of the safari. His passion for his work is contagious—he brings incredible energy, a constant smile, and a genuine excitement that makes the experience unforgettable. He goes above and beyond to create lasting memories, weather it’s challenging kids to push-ups or sparking a fun dance-off. Most importantly, Chrispus prioritizes safety without ever compromising the adventure. When animals get close, he remains calm, confident, and in control, ensuring everyone feels secure. Thanks to Chrispus, our safari was not a trip—it was an extraordinary experience we’ll cherish forever!

Awesome Family Vacation
Our family had an unforgettable safari with Zara Tanzania Adventures, made truly special by our driver and guide, Joseph. From the start he was warm, patient, and deeply committed to making sure we experienced the very best of Tanzania. In Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, we saw an incredible range of wildlife including elephants, lions, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and crocodiles, along with beautiful water scenes and rich birdlife such as flamingos, eagles, and storks. Joseph’s knowledge of animal behavior and his skill at positioning the vehicle for viewing and photography were exceptional, and we never felt rushed. A visit with the Hadzabe bushmen was a powerful and fascinating cultural experience that added real depth to the trip. Accommodations were excellent throughout, from Springlands Hotel in Moshi to Highview Hotel near Ngorongoro, Serengeti Safari Lodge in central Serengeti, and Ikoma Wild Camp in the north. The food was consistently good and service was outstanding everywhere. Communication with Zara was clear and professional, and everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures and strongly suggest requesting Joseph as your guide.
