Safari trip of a lifetime with Shafino
We covered Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti over 5 days. Our guide Shafino was excellent!! From the moment he picked us up from the hotel in Arusha, he showed us a fantastic time - we were able to see all kinds of animals and birds, including the big 9. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the wildlife and shared obscure details about them all. He is an expert driver, and very professional! He went the extra mile in trying to find hard-to-find animals like leopards and rhinos and I’m happy to report that we had multiple sightings of them. He is the master of his domain!

Professional and passionate about the visitor experience. I am very pleased.
The tour started very early. It was such an incredible experience. I had been to the zoo before this experience and so I had some expectations. My expectations were exceeded 😂😂😂. It was interesting to see the tour guide having a network with other tour guide all in a bid to ensure we were at the right place at the right. This is particularly important as this is the wild and you can not tell when some of the biggest animals will be out. Overall I will recommend Zazu for its pricing and attention to customer satisfaction.

They don't just sell trips; they sell memories and experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Nhlalala
The trip definitely exceeded our expectations. We took the 4-day Kruger + Panorama tour.
Let's start from the beginning: we handled all the formalities with Norman, who was always very quick to respond to all our questions. We wanted to maximize our time in the park. We were glad that extending our trip by one day wasn't a problem at all. All costs were clearly explained, as were the payment methods.
Khongi, who was an incredible companion for the trip from Johannesburg to Kruger and back, picked us up from the airport hotel. He was also our guide on the Panorama tour. We felt like we'd known him forever; he was incredibly interesting, but he also showed us and explained many things. We felt taken care of the entire time because we had constant contact, and even after a full day of safari, he called to make sure everything was okay and to confirm the next day's plans.
The hotel itself also exceeded our expectations. The rooms looked even better than in the photos, and the breakfast buffet or takeaway box on our departure morning was truly filling and varied. The dinner buffet offered a huge selection of delicious dishes.
The safari trips were also well-organized, and even though we were with other people, it was relaxed and everyone could see what they wanted.
In short, we couldn't have chosen a better place. Khongi, his care, and the overall experience made us not want to go back home. I'm always wary of using travel agents and prefer to handle everything myself, but they exceeded all our expectations at all. They don't just sell trips; they sell memories and experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Nhlalala Travel.

Reliable tour operator offering excellent value for money, tour well-organized
We had a very nice 7-day tour across the main parks of Northern Circuit (Tarangire, Serengeti Central and North, Ngorngoro), and overall, everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Communication was good—sometimes a bit slow to respond, but don’t worry, based on our experience, the operator is very reliable. We had several questions and custom requests, and Issa was always flexible and eventually provided clear answers to all of them.
The price was very competitive, and we felt we got great value for money. The accommodations were all comfortable and well-selected, and the whole trip was well organized.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy operator and a great experience!

He did his job pretty well although he should give the client more power of decision.
Very good services. Helen, Alan and Toni (the people working there) are very helpful and always providing with whatever we need. Incredible service at the camp.

I had such an amazing experience on this safari! 🌿🐘 From the beginning to the end, everything was well-organized, comfortable, and full of excitement. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable.
The sights were breathtaking — seeing the animals up close in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights about the wildlife and the environment, making the journey not only fun but educational too.

Best travel company and guide I have ever booked through, would recommend to anyone!
Everything about Africa Zim was excellent, from the booking office team of Sharon and Pamela to our hotels and activities to our guide Mtho! I have no complaints at all and felt really comfortable during the trip and leading up with great communication from the team. Highly highly recommend, you won’t regret it!
