Kilimandscharo Lemosho Route Es war eine einzigartige Erfahrung. Lubawe und sein Assistent Sabron waren perfekte Guides und haben uns immer motiviert weiter zu machen. Ohne Sie hätten wir das nicht geschafft. Danke auch an das ganze Team. Das Essen war auch immer sehr lecker von unserem Koch Thomas. Ich würde es jedem empfehlen diese Erfahrung zu machen.

Climbed Kilimanjaro with the help of a fantastic support team! I highly recommend using Zara Tanzania Adventures! My friend and I were well looked after before, during, and after our Kilimanjaro climb. I would especially like to highlight our guide, Mike, and the director herself, Zainab, who took a personal interest in our well-being. Mike, our trekking guide, and the porters ensured a safe ascent; we were a group of seven, and thanks to them, everyone made it to the summit. So, if you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro, choose this company! Warm regards from Mia, who climbed the world's highest freestanding mountain with the help of amazing people!

Amazing experience with Israel Nnko - 10/10 no notes - if your thinking of booking this is your sign to do it! We had such an incredible trip with Israel Nnko!!! He was a fantastic guide, an absolute pro through and through! He had a knack for getting us to the right place at the right time always and he was so patient with us when we wanted to stay and watch or stop for every single Zebra along the road. He was a wealth of information and fun facts and a master animal spotter. This experience wouldn’t have been the same without him and we can’t thank him enough. The atmosphere in our car was always one of excitement and anticipation thanks to him The trip overall was amazing would highly recommend to anyone wanting a wild and wonderful experience. Truly once in a lifetime. The only place we encountered crowds were in the ngorogoro crater, however Israel managed these with ease and ensured it didn’t diminish our experience. Perfect length of time for the tour, it was so busy and full on but worth every early morning and long drive. I’m exhausted now and ready for a week in Zanzibar! Thank you Israel Nnko!!

Incredible safari thanks to our fantastic guide! ★★★★★ Peter was an excellent safari guide throughout our entire safari, and played a huge part in making the experience so memorable. From Tarangire to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, he was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks and the different areas we visited. He was particularly good at spotting animals that we would have otherwise completely missed, and always took the time to explain what we were seeing and answer all our questions. We were especially impressed with his knowledge of the Serengeti and the Great Wildebeest Migration. He understood the behaviour and movements of the animals and knew where to look for wildlife, which gave us some fantastic sightings. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest and many other animals, and Peter consistently made sure we had the best possible opportunities to observe and photograph them. He was also very patient and accommodating throughout the long game drives, never making us feel rushed and always prioritising our experience. His knowledge of the parks and ability to spot wildlife made a big difference, particularly during our time in Northern Serengeti around the Mara River. Overall, Peter was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what he does. We are very happy that he was our guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great safari experience in Tanzania. Thank you, Peter, for an unforgettable safari!

Er hat viele Tiere für uns entdeckt und hat versucht immer den besten Platz für die Beobachtung der Tiere zu finden. Ali kann sehr gut deutsch sprechen, so dass er uns viel mitteilen konnte. Seine Fahrweise war immer sehr umsichtig. Danke für die schöne Zeit.

Kili Success The Zara team looked after us exceptionally well on the mountain. Kimolo, our lead guide, aided by Lukas and Madiba as his assistants managed our progress up/down the mountain in a very structured and safe manner. They were supported by a further 19 crew who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to transport our camp/baggage on a daily basis. Shout out to Chef/Dustin (top waiter) who kept us well fed & watered. Great celebrations at the end that will live in my memory forever - who knew Madiba has that voice!

Erstklassige Reise mit erstklassigem Guide David Die Reise war ein Traum! Von dem wirklich tollen Mix an Nationalparks über die sauberen und gut ausgestatteten Unterkünften bis hin zu unserem tollen Guide David konnte uns das Gesamtpaket absolut überzeugen. Wir haben uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben, sicher und gut von Station zu Station begleitet gefühlt. Alles war gut organisiert, aufeinander abgestimmt und eine tolle Stimmung auch innerhalb der Gruppe von 6 Personen. Das lag auch vor allem an David, der jederzeit kompetent, pünktlich, fröhlich, zuvorkommend und gut gelaunt war und für uns alle über die Safari hinweg zu einem Freund geworden ist. Wir hätten uns keinen besseren Guide wünschen können! Auch in den Unterkünften war das Personal aufgeschlossen, engagiert und serviceorientiert. Sehr zu empfehlen ist das Ikoma Wildcamp und das Ngorongoro Wildcamp aufgrund der Ausstattung der Zelte (auch im Vergleich zum Serengeti Wildcamp) und einmaliger Erlebnisse direkt nah an den Tieren. Rund um eine einmalige Reise mit zahlreichen tollen Erlebnissen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

En fantastisk oplevelse som vil blive husket resten af livet! Touren var rigtig god. Enkelte gange kunne man godt have brugt at vandreture ikke gik helt så hurtigt så man fik oplevet mere af naturen isærpå de første dage. Der var sørget for alt og alle var venlige og meget imødekommende! Maden var godt vi følte os trykke og i rigtig gode hænder på hele turen.

Brødre på tur sammen til Kilimanjaro Rajabu var en super guide. Erfaren (over 250 gange til toppen af Kilimanjaro) og endnu vigtigere, så har han et godt grin og en varm sjæl. Maden var overraskende god… 5 stjerner herfra. Mest overraskende var, hvor koldt det er om aftenen og natten (havde is på teltet allerede den første nat). Og så kan vi kun anbefale at tilkøbe et toilet… det er en kæmpe fordel ikke at skulle løbe flere hundrede meter i mørke, hvis man skal op for at tisse om natten (og så bare en hel del mere lækkert end at skulle sidde over et lugtende hul med fluer). Føltes lidt som “rig hvid mand” men rigtig mange havde et toilet med, så det er helt normalt.

Fantastisk tur til Afrikas top Fantastisk søde mennesker, Rajabu er en supersød guide og fik os begge til toppen. Overraskende god mad på bjerget. Eneste minus er vel at lynlåsene har det hårdt på bjerget. Det ændrer dog ikke på at det har været en hård og utrolig fin tur med hjælpsomme mennesker overalt. Hakuna Matata

Zara Kilimanjaro Lemosho route An unbelievably exillerating adventure. Physically demanding, but sooo rewarding. The support of the whole Zara/Evertrek team (on and off the mountain) is absolutely first class and totally recommended. Chief Guide Frankie is a true legend of Kili and knows every inch of every trail - and is a wonderful, caring and supportive character who seems to know (and be known) by everyone on the mountain - something he’s passed on to the incredibly skilled, wonderful Guide Seba. Both Frankie and Seba were fundamental in getting the whole of our party successfully to the summit but they didn’t do it on their own. They were ably assisted by a fantastic team: porters who broke camp after we’d set off on the trail only to whizz past us and have everything set up at the next camp waiting to dust us down and refresh us with hot drinks, snacks and a bowl of hot water to freshen up with; a chef who made such delicious food each day, from hot breakfasts to gorgeous lunches and excellent dinners - how you make pizzas, pastries and even fry crispy chips up a mountain is beyond me!; some of them even doubled up as additional support guides on the tougher days. Given the relentless physicality of their tasks, the team spirit of everyone was always so positive - always smiling and with an infectively positive attitude, there can’t be a better team on Kilimanjaro and I can’t recommend Zara highly enough. 11 out of 10!

Greatest trip ever Insane trip. The safari was incredible. Trip of a lifetime. The animals and the views are unbelievable. Our guide Hassan made it all possible, the trip wouldn't have been the same without him. He made the trip very informative as well as being funny and a great guy to talk to. He made sure we got the full experience seeing the whole big 5 and many, many more. If you get a chance to experience this please do, and request Hassan.

I cant believe how good the food was on the mountain. Everyone was in great spirits all the time even when the hike was hard, the guides were very knowledgeable and caring the whole way. They answered every question I had and they know everything about Kilimajaro.
