Great Adventure with the MangiEMPIRE Tours team.
If you always dreamed of going on a safari, but were a bit worried whether you are up for it, contact MangiEMPIRE Tours immediately! As a somewhat comfort-oriented traveler, I must say our trip was perfectly balanced like:
a) Communication with Director was easy and prompt at all times.
b) Our guide, was handpicked and was simply delightful at all times. He went out of his way to show us a great variety of animals, tying to make sure we saw as much as possible. Every trip was saturated with experiences, including seeing three different lion prides on one day, as well as getting some excellent close-ups of feeding, hunting and resting lions.
He educated us about wildlife and went out of his way to accommodate us when we needed to exchange money, buy SIM cards or handle any other non-itinerary requests. He was sensitive to our needs, flexible with the schedule and made sure we had a good balance of adventure and vacation.
c) They provided personal attention that was beyond expectation; I must say I felt like I was in the hands of good friends, even though I met Nova and his fellow staff for the first time.
d) Accommodations were great.
Bottom line: I highly recommend this safari operator, especially for first-time safari goers

The tour was excellent, extremely organized and we had a great time.
We went on a tour to Cape Town, then headed to Zimbabwe and Botswana for three amazing days.
Cape Town was incredible, we had the chance to visit the table mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Boulder’s beach, Dickinson Island and go on a tour of the wine lands. Our guide was very kind, informed and extremely professional. We had a great time!
Zimbabwe and Botswana were a true dream.. we went on a safari and a boat cruise. The food was delicious. The people were amazing and everything was perfect. Everything was extremely organized, we never got bored.
Wonderful!

Excellent safari with superb guides.
Right from the pick up the service and experience lived up to all expectations. Jaco provides a brilliant drive up with commentary and interesting information. Trevor our guide for the drives in the park was also amazing getting us as close as he could to all the animals. The accommodation at skukuza was basic but the beds were comfy and the food good.

Highly recommended!
We interviewed three safari operators before choosing Earthlife. This locally based company is worthy of your trust and provided us with a spectacular experience. Our trip was tailored to our requests.
Many thanks to our guide, Herman, who was very skilled at maximizing the animal sitings.
Overall, both the accommodations and food were good to very good.
Having previously done a safari in South Africa, we can assure you that this experience is far superior as an adventure.
We highly recommend that you choose this local company over foreign based interests!

Great Family Safari
We had a specific itinerary in mind and traveled as a family of four with two young boys. Zohar was able to arrange this on a very short notice of less than one week.
The service was excellent and accommodation luxurious, great custom service everywhere, price was very reasonable but the best part was to enjoy the nature and connect with Serengeti.
Our guide Chillie became a mentor and friend and intimately knew his way around and after getting to know us made the trip special, personal and exiting for us. Thanks.

Excellent experience with 3-day Luitours Wildlife Safari to Selous Game Reserve
Excellent email communications to work out details & payment in advance. Khalifa K. was our driver, fine job - got us thru a"mud-hole" stop twice very well, knows the land & animals well, and was a great guy to hang out with. African Safari Lodge was good accommodations, very interesting visit to Selous Game Reserve and Rufiji River, staff and tour personnel very helpful and pleasant. Overall, we enjoyed the experience a great deal.

A childhood dream comes true
I checked first with 3 different safari tours for 8 days safari trip before choosing Zohar. Lilian was incredibly efficient in planning our tour from the day of arrival to the day of departure, with all the details you can think of, straight from the start. I was ready to finalize payment after my first correspondence .
We arrived on 14th of Feb, she met us at our hotel with a flowers bouquet and chocolate box, it was really thoughtful. She also provided metallic bottles of waters engraved with our individual names. Lilian was also very attentional, checking on us every time if everything is meeting our expectations. The logistics, the accommodation where we stopped by in our tour were all 5 stars including the tent camps (except for Ndutu Heritage camp , but it was acceptable for just one night). The lunch provided was warm and not in boxes like for most other travelers , which convinces me to believe that Zohar company is really environmentally responsible. It felt also luxurious. David was our driver , a knowledgeable person, a pleasant companion and a skilled driver, paying attention to all the details, patient with us when we wanted to stop longer to take more pictures, excellent in finding animal spots. He once helped another driver whose car got stuck in the mud. He drives at the right paces (not recklessly as some of drivers we saw there) anticipating all our desires. He was blessed by a new baby boy while he was with us on the trip and yet he was still committed to our trip until the moment he dropped us off in the airport.
The experience in Tarangire , Ndutu , Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater was simply unique and indescribable . The passion for wild animals is shared within my family , but seeing them alive was breathtaking, especially at 'zero distance'. it was so vibrantly real yet so unbelievable at the same time.
we were in the car everyday from 7:15am until 6:30pm and never felt the time passing by. despite the many hours the ride was very comfortable.
We loved our trip from A to Z including the local people we met . Overall Zohar tour was beyond expectations and i strongly recommend them to any adventure lovers.
