5.00Great experience with Zara tours. Did 9 days safari. Visited several national parks. Our lodges and camps were very beautiful. Our driver cum guide Ibrahim was simply amazing guy. Knows every nook and cranny of these parks, that helped in spotting all big five easily. He was tremendously helpful and became a friend. Ask for Ibrahim if you want to book, you will be very happy.
Very good

5.00It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. Everything was done with great care from the food to the trip itself. Our guides Isa and John were exceptional and helped us during moments where we struggled. They were a constant source of encouragement and were very proficient.

5.00An absolutely fantastic trip to Tanzania. Isdory was an exceptional guide. He was able to easily spot wildlife in the parks. He also drove the safari vehicle with caution. We saw the Big 5 in the first three days, as well as many other animals. We wanted to see the great migration of wildebeest, which we did in Serengeti. The landscapes are beautiful and the wildlife is abundant. The people we met were really warm and friendly and made us feel safe and welcome. We highly recommend visiting Tanzania with Zara Tanzania Adventures.
A dream come true

5.00We had amazing and memorable experiences on our trip in Tanzania with our guide Tarimo. He impressed us with his vast knowledge of the parks, wildlife, culture and Tanzania in general. His easy going and likeable personality showed through right from the start as we instantly hit it off well and continued to like him as the days progressed and our tour took us to different parts. He knew the interesting areas in the parks where we encountered different wildlife species. Serengeti is unforgettable with the abundant wildlife species including the wildebeest migration which was totally spectacular. We were stating in the Serengeti Wildebeest Camp which is located so close to the migration corridor that we did not have to drive far to find the animals. When I look back at the trip I cannot find any fault. It had just the right mix of game drives, pampered rest points where we could indulge in a bit of luxury before heading out for the next dose of adventure. We will be returning soon!
Perfect Trip

5.00I wanted to see all the animals in Tanzania without worrying about lodging, transportation or food. Zara set up EVERYTHING, and I never had to worry. My driver, Salehe, was awesome, and so knowledgeable about the animals and birds. Any bird he didn't know he could quickly identify with a book. When I mentioned a specific animal, he without fail found them for me. It was very impressive. I would recommend Zara to anyone who values convenience and comfort. I know there are cheaper options, but you pay to not worry and enjoy vacation. The lodging was stunning, the food was amazing, and the animals were out of this world. I never felt rushed or like I missed out. Also to note, I was by myself and I never felt overlooked for groups that might be larger and provide more tips. Everyone seemed to care about me having a great safari, and I felt safe and happy the whole time.
