    It 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.

    An 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.

    We 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

  • Incredible animals, and amenities!

    I 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.

  • Excellent Experience - 9 Day Safari & Cultural Tour

    We booked a 9 day tour through Tanzania with Zara, and they were wonderful. From the beginning, we were able to customize our experience so we got exactly what we wanted from our stay. Our Guide, Hasimi, was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, he went above and beyond to ensure we saw and experienced everything we hoped. He took time to ensure we were comfortable, and the more we got to know him, the more we really appreciated what a good person he is. We had a 75 year old and a 4 year old on our tour, and the team took the time to accommodate all of our needs. We upgraded all of our hotels, and when one of them was not to our satisfaction, Zanya went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect hotel for our group. Some key highlights from the trip I recommend you do not miss: 1. Safari, of course! With Hamisi, if you can 2. Staying at the Serengeti Safari Lodge in the Serengeti 3. The Pink Flamingo Hotel in Moshi was unbelievable. And the management was superb, even helping one of our group get to a hospital when he fell ill 4. We did the Materuni waterfalls that ended at the coffee planation. The people were lovely and it was a great experience. Our guide was great, and the owner of the Coffee Planation, Innocent, was incredibly helpful when our youngest fell ill 5. The Hot Air balloon ride over the Serengeti with Majestic was incredible and wonderfully executed 6. We stayed at the Osiligilai Maasai Lodge, which was an incredible experience. Definitely take the time to go. Our guide, Gabrielle, was interesting and engaging, and we learned so much.

Tanzania's beauty is very unbelievable and the steps their government takes to preserve the nature is amazing...the beauty is surreal... and the way zara tours have treated us is very unbelievable we never expected them to go out of their way to help us...they helped us in every way possible and after knowing that we are pure veg and don't consume even egg the efforts they took to match the food to our taste is just amazing not just in moshi also in arusha and in Serengeti and honorable mention to our 2 safari guides arnold and issa they both did a phenomenal job and helped in every way possible took extra efforts to show all the animals specially the big cats and overall all the experience was a 5 star no words to describe...
