Amy C27 October 2026Verified
Great experience: Uhuru peak via Lemosho route Zara is very organised and I had more porters than other companies because they are purposeful about weight limits to observe porter rights. My guide, Tungaraza Magembe was professional, patient, strong and encourage slow steps from the beginning which helped me to complete the summit. My cook, Baraka, was nice and cooked well, and made me feel welcome everyday. Porters were all strong and efficient. The Springlands hotel has good food and comfortable rooms. Though the curtains are too large light and the room is bright at night, and noise from people waking early is something to consider on non-hiking and safari days. The pool is refreshing and staff are kind. On the first day my driver was late to fetch from the airport but all other trips were fine.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great tour - amazing animal sights and experiences - LOVED IT! We had an incredible experience visiting the Serengeti for 2 full days, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara for a day. We were reliably picked up at the border with Kenya and assisted through the process and ultimately dropped off at Kilimanjaro Airport for an early flight. Our guide Emmanuel was brilliant and made our experience awesome. His knowledge of the Serengeti was enormous and we were fortunate enough through his skills to see the big 5, and so much more. His explanations of the animals and their habits was incredible. We could not believe how close we could get to these amazing animals, and we loved our time. We sincerely thank Emmanuel for his skills and laughs along the way. The accommodations they booked us were fantastic and enhanced our overall experience. We would thoroughly recommend this tour company and definitely recommend Emmanuel. We had the best time and the best experiences.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great and challenging experience. Best support from the guidesand the whole crew. This week was one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences we have ever had. The hike is not easy, but the support you receive is incredible, both from the guide and from the rest of the group. They truly take everyone's needs into account, whether it's regarding the food or the daily itinerary. We always felt well looked after and encouraged throughout the journey. We can highly recommend this experience. The adventures, memories, and sense of achievement are absolutely unforgettable.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Animals in Tanzania National Parks Meet more than our expectations. I am nearly 80y and no problems doing this trip. Long drives, we are from Australia where we also have long drives to places. Our guide Hassan was wonderful and his knowledge enhanced our experience. Saw the big 5 more than once. Only 1 black rhino, Serengeti but many other animals that are free to roam. My favourite time was an afternoon in the Serengeti, away from others finding giraffe, my favourite, and other animals. Learning from Hassan how they survive. Memories never to be forgotten.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Safari Experience! We had the most incredible 7-day safari through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We saw the Big Five multiple times and even witnessed the Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti! Our guide, Israel, was exceptional! He went above and beyond to get us the best views of the wildlife and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His knowledge and passion made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the full Tanzanian safari experience. A truly unforgettable adventure!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Big 5 Spotted & Post Trip Feedback Acknowledged We did a 5 day private safari encompassing Tarangire National Park and the Central/Northern Serengeti to see the Wildebeest migration. Our guide/driver, Abu, was incredibly knowlegeable and passionate about the animals and the national parks and we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 as well as two herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. Our safari vehicle was comfortable, clean and well maintained. Whilst I can't fault these parts of the trip I did feel that aspects of the accommodation could be improved upon as could the content/quality of the lunchboxes as well as the means of ensuring dinner was served warm. I did provide this feedback directly to my booking contact at Zara and would like to acknowledge that Mrs Ansell, Zara's owner, engaged directly with me to understand more about my concerns and how she could address for future guests. I found it incredibly heartening that the business owner found out about my feedback and is now looking to have these matters addressed......it appears she genuinely cares about her customers experience in Tanzania.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

10/10 perfection Every member of staff between the hotels, camps, drivers were all absolutely lovely, polite and great at their job. Extra credit has to be given to the tour guide I had Norah. She was the most friendly, smart and kind person I have ever met. The entire trip was life changing. Experiencing the culture, tribes, people and wildlife in their natural habitats is an experience worth all the money. Their was enough time to do everything, have food, meet people and get enough sleep each evening. All the staff at the Serengeti camp and hotels were so friendly and helpful. Everything was done on time according to the schedule. Everyone was inclusive and welcoming.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Fantastisk Safari Our safari trip exceeded all our expectations! We saw the Big Five and so much more, and we were lucky to have an amazing and knowledgeable guide, Hamza. It was clear that he knew so much, and he taught us a lot of new things about plants, animals, and Tanzanian culture. He was very patient and always seemed genuinely happy and proud whenever we asked questions about the animals or plants. On top of that, he had the best sense of humour! We would like to say a huge thank you to both Hamza and Zara Tours for an unforgettable safari experience!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Big Five: An unforgettable safari trip We booked a trip to Tanzania through TourCompass, who work with Zara Tours locally. The entire process was absolutely seamless. All transfers etc. were without any problems. We had a super great guide on the safari (greetings to GoodLuck!!!), who was very experienced, and so we actually saw the Big 5. He also told us a lot about the country and its people and explained things, making our trip an unforgettable event.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Best Guide Twahaa We had an absolutely amazing 4-day safari with Twahaa as our driver and guide! He was incredibly kind, friendly and knowledgeable, and he shared so much interesting information about the animals, nature and Tanzania throughout the entire trip. He always did his very best to get us as close to the animals as possible, while making sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to his knowledge, experience and dedication, we managed to see all of the Big Five and so many other incredible animals. We honestly felt like we saw almost every animal imaginable! Twahaa really went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and we would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Twahaa, for an incredible experience that we will never forget!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
