Fantastic - Experience of a lifetime
Experience of a lifetime! Big shout out to our guide, Aloyce, for making this an exceptionel journey! It won’t be the last time 🙏🏻.
Our safari in Tanzania has been one of those trips that will stay with us forever. From the early morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha and straight into Tarangire National Park, everything just felt right from the very beginning.
We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, wildebeest, antelopes, flamingos, a leopard, a serval, and even the rare black rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater. That day in the crater was simply unreal, everywhere you looked, there was something happening.
Lake Manyara was completely different from the other parks with its almost jungle-like landscape, dense greenery and amazing birdlife. Even without lions, it was an absolutely beautiful and special experience.
Our guide, Aloyce, truly made this trip something extra special. His knowledge, patience and passion for nature and wildlife were outstanding. As someone who loves photography, I felt so taken care of – he could literally hear when my camera was focusing or clicking and would stop immediately, even when I told him it was okay to drive on. That kind of attention and care is rare, and it meant everything to us 📸.
The lodges were stunning, from soaking in a bathtub after a long safari day, to watching the sunset from an infinity pool, to having our own private pool and a perfect, quiet evening surrounded by nature.

Accommodating and solution-oriented service!
Easy-going and effective communication. We booked the 4-day safari very last minute, the day before departure about an hour before the office closed, and received quick replies to all of our questions.
Definitely good value for money in regards to transportation, delicious food, accommodation and experienced guides. Shoutout to guides Okindo and Jeff! We loved it! Not only great guides for the game drives, but also solving unforeseeable jeep mechanical problems effectively and accommodating our request of being dropped off in Nakuru instead of Nairobi.

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.
