Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris

5/5

During National Day holiday, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Tanzania, which was meticulously organized by Zanzi Trekking and Safaris. Our adventure included a six-day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro followed by a thrilling four-day wildlife safari. The services provided by this local Tanzanian agency exceeded all expectations, and I am thrilled to share my experiences.
Communication & Planning
From the outset, Zanzi Trekking and Safaris impressed with their communication. Whether it was via email or WhatsApp, responses were prompt, informative, and practical. This seamless communication allowed me to plan my trip with peace of mind and set the stage for the amazing experience that awaited us.

Airport Reception & Transfers
Upon arrival in Tanzania, the reception service was nothing short of perfect. Zanzi Trekking and Safaris had arranged a professional airport pickup, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition from the airport to our hotel. This thoughtful welcome allowed us to recuperate quickly from the long-haul flight and to recharge for the adventures ahead.

Guides for Trekking & Safari
The guides provided by the agency deserve special praise for their expertise and responsibility. Our trekking guide ensured our safety as we made our ascent up Kilimanjaro, sharing stories and tips about the mountain. During our safari, the guide’s keen instincts and deep knowledge brought us up close with wildlife, making every moment captivating.

Accommodation Experience
The accommodations selected by Zanzi Trekking and Safaris went above and beyond our expectations. The hotels were not only well-located and high-quality, but they also offered a comfortable atmosphere. Returning to these accommodations each evening felt like a retreat into an exotic haven, adding significant value to our overall experience.

Trustworthy, committed and reliable tour operator

4/5

We've climbed in October 2024 with Zanzi trekking and safari's in Arusha. The crew is very committed to get you to the top. Everything is in done in order so that you'll make it, that made us a bit emotional at the end of the trip as well (in a positive way). The guides George and Lazaro are experienced guides, who behave professionally. We would easily trust our lives to them again.

Don't forget to ask/request a packing list beforehand, if they haven't sent it to you yet when you booked a trekking.

Excellent Tour Operator

5/5

We had a great experience at mount meru. Everything was well organized and we were picked up on time. We had a short briefing the day before the tour and a short talk after the tour in our Hotel. During the tour we had a really good service starting from hot water to wash our bodies after a long hike and ending with the hot tea at the top of mount meru. In addition the food was excellent and more than enough. Most of the people working as porters, guides and cooks are men but in our team we had a female cook which is really cool to see. We would book again any trekking tour with zanzi trekking.

An awesome trip to Mt Meru

5/5

The morning before our hike we met with the team to check that we had all the essential hiking equipment. And we needed some items which were arranged for us at a fair price.

Overall climbing Mt Meru with Zanzi trekking was a great trip!! We had an excellent team assisting us, including our guide, delicious food, porters assisting to carry our stuff. The price was very reasonable.
We want to thank the team for their hospitality in helping us reach the summit!

Very well organised

5/5

We booked a seven day budget tour from Arusha. We were contacted a few days before and then met up with a tour company member the day before at our hotel. He gave us a full briefing, took the balance of the your cost on a credit card payment and arranged to keep most of our luggage while we were on tour which was very helpful.
Our tour guide was excellent and worked very hard to give us a great experience. The cook was also very nice. The meals were quite tasty if repetitive. The sleeping accommodation was okay though some of the sleeping bags were smelly- glad I brought my own sleeping sheet.
We saw lots of animals and different habitats and the guide was able to answer the trickiest questions.
On arrival back at Arusha the was a bit of a mix up with being dropped at our hotel but that was sorted out.
Overall I thought it was very professionally organised and good value with a helpful debrief at the end.
After that we did a four day tour in Kenya with another company and the difference in organisation was quite marked - it was quite chaotic.
