Just perfect!
Our experience with Zohar was just a dream! We travelled to Tanzania for our honeymoon trip and Zohar really exceeded our expectations! From the very beginnig to the end was everything very well organized. Lilian is a very kind, welcoming person who was keen to answer all our questions and to tailor our trip to the best of our satisfaction! Her care of details was unmatchable. The hotels booked for us had great staff, who were very friendly and professional. Our guide, Ahmed, is really an amazing person with much passion about his job and knowledge about tanzanian culture, fauna, and flora. We werde delighted to have him as our guide.
We left Tanzania full of happiness, cultural experience, and wonderful memories.
Thank you Zohar very much! You are just amazing!

Excellent tour operator
We did a private safari tour for our honeymoon and I must say this was one of the BEST experiences ever! I could write an entire book about this experience. From the itinerary, communication, accommodation to the game drives. First, Lilian's recommendations were beyond anything we could have thought of. She was really accomodating and friendly. She made adjustments per our requests. She made you feel welcome and made you feel like you've known her for a while. She even provided tips for us well after we left the safari on our trip to different parts of Tanzania. We really appreciated that. She was very quick with replies.
Now our tour guide, Ahmed. I cannot say enough about him. He is hands down the best guide ever! He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us an amazing time. The safari trip from beginning to end went without a single issue. He was hilarious, we had a lot of laughs and adventures. We truly lucked out when we were assigned, Ahmed. He was not only an outstanding guide with a knack for spotting wildlife but a great person that we now consider a friend. He made you feel comfortable. I truly believe Ahmed made our experience that much better and to a whole different level. We were never bored at any point of the trip. He was really accomodating to all our needs. He was proactive in finding the "rare" to spot animals. I would highly recommend him to anyone planning on going on this tour. In my opinion, your tour guide determine how well the trip goes and Ahmed made sure we had a blast. My wife and I were happy he was with us.
Let's not forget the most important thing why we went on this trip, the great migration and the wildlife. During our trip, Ahmed made sure we saw all the Big 5 and the great migration! Saw other wildlife of course. It's an incredible feeling being "up close and personal" with these animals in the wild. To see their behavior and how they are was definitely a bucket-list item. I wish we had enough time to have seen the wildebeest crossing the mara river. This is likely the next adventure on the list is to see that.
We want to say a big thank you to the Zohar team and everyone involved in making this an incredible experience, especially Ahmed.

Amazing Safari experience
We booked with Zohar Africa Safari a 6 days Safari trip ( Tarangire- Serengeti-Ngorongoro) for our honeymoon and was the most wonderful experience we could ever dream of.
Lilian organized and tailored all our safari days with a lot of attention to details, having really cool stays ( highlight being the Simba lodge and Chaka Camp which were in the middle of the wilderness) and including really cute touches for our honeymoon, personalized gifts and even cooking herself our first lunch in the safari which was delicious!
She also gave us the best guide that we could wish for- Solomon, who made our safari THE best! His eagle eyes can spot rare to find animals from a great distance and thanks to his intuition and experience we saw so many animals- all Big Five, over 40 lions, part of the Great Migration and all this from really close distance! It was a pleasure spending the time with him, he told us a lot of wildlife stories and knew the animals well so was really cool to watch them.
We absolutely loved our lunches which were in the nature with giraffes and elephants in the background. Also loved our game drives that starter 6 am, his patience and passion to find animals left no time for us to be bored in the car.
We added on top also the Maasai Village experience which is worth seeing the traditions of this tribe.
We hope to be back with Lilian and Solomon soon!

From dream to reality
How do you find the words to describe the dream of a lifetime?
It's simple, from our first exchange with Lilian, we knew that we would not be leaving with another company than his. She is awesome ! Much more than a simple organizer, she accompanies you to perfection before, during and after your stay.
We have been on many trips, but we have never met such an attentive, kind and professional person. We would like to thank her once again for making our dream come true!
And the safari? Do you see the famous Lion King cartoon? Well that's it, but better! Why ? Because in The Lion King there is no our ADAMS guide!
What a meeting! We met an incredibly kind person, we left a friend who will never be forgotten.
In summary, Zohar African Safaris is much more than a safari company, it is a professional team that will easily make your dreams come true. Thank you (Ashee Naleng!) We can't wait to come back to see you! See you soon.

Reliable, caring and truly amazing
We were going on a custom 5 day Safari to kick-off our honeymoon. From the very beginning and even after we were very well taken care off! The service Lilian and her team provided was extraordinary.
We started off with a hike on the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro before hitting the national parks for the Safari. Our guide was Ahmed - who impressed with thorough knowledge on flora and fauna, as well as on a personal level as a great, fun and positive person. We felt like in a real-life David Attenborough movie ... and of course we saw the Big 5
We stayed almost every night at another hotel - the selection of the hotels was excellent. All of them very of high quality and unique in their architecture, location and view.
One thing that should be definitely mentioned besides the great Safari experience, is Lilian's cooking skills - besides all the wild animals and beautiful landscape, her prepared lunch boxes were definitely a highlight - is mentioned as first to our friends along the Big 5 :) And while addressing the lunch, I want to also positively mention that our lunch boxes were - differently to many other providers we saw along the road who used single use packing - reusable aluminium bowls which were refilled every day.
We would definitely decide for Zohar again.
A huge thank you to Lilian and her great team for providing us with a truly incredible experience!

AMAZING !
The most beautiful experience we had during our many trips around the world, really AMAZING !
Lilian is absolutely ADORABLE. We contacted several agencies but no one was up to Zohar Safari. Lilian is attentive, accommodating and takes her time (we exchanged in writing on WhatsApp and even several times by phone before establishing our final itinerary)
5 days of Safari (arriving from Arusha), we did Tarangire / Serengeti via Ndutu / Serengeti / Ngorongoro / Manyara region with our guide ADAM ! Very humble and very kind, he made us live the safari with passion thanks to his knowledge of animals and places. We even saw a lion attacking a wildebeest !!
The accommodations were excellent (especially Embakali Camp where you really feel surrounded by nature with a very family atmosphere) and we loved the lunches in the middle of nature

BEST AFRICAN SAFARI
My experience with Zohar couldn't have been more AWESOME. We decided to plan this trip very last minute due to the Omicron variant. All flight to Africa were canceled at first, and just one week before we went, the ban got lifted. Once we got notified we contacted Lilian, and she responded super quickly, making the planning of this trip super easy. Everything went smooth, the hotels were awesome, specially the one in Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Food for the picnics was great, maybe the breakfast boxes could vary a bit, but other than that, everything was GREAT.
The best thing of our trip was our driver, Solomon, THE NICEST guy and best driver we could have asked for, friendly, he knew what he was talking about regarding the animals, he made the impossible for us to see the Big 5 (which we did), and his sight, man, his sight was better than an eagle's ! He could spot animals in the most remote places!!
The only thing I would have changed in out trip, would be that instead of a 5 day safari I would have done 8, a lot of bumpy roads concentrated in 5 days was a bit too much, specially staying in such beautiful hotels, we would have liked to maybe enjoy a bit more time in the hotel, as we got there in the evening and left at 6 to our next destination.
Thank you Lilian and Solomon for making out trip so special.
Hopefully we see each other soon!

Simply AMAZING and best way to spend Honeymoon!
We chose Zohar African Safaris due to the latest and awesome reviews from other guests - my wife and I can only confirm it - excellent from the very first second until the last and beyond that! I hope that more of our friends will consider safari and Zohar will get biggest recommendation from us!
After we contacted Zohar Safaris, Lilian was very helpful in each step and provided very detailed information about each aspect of the trip. We felt very confident and informed, even despite covid uncertainty. Lilian personalized our safari trip as they approach every trip individually. We are so happy, that we made it and decided on 6 days Safari trip.
Solomon was our safari guide and driver - WOW he has the experience and very joyful to be around - it is important when you are driving up to 10-12 hours pr. day :)
He knew all the animals and birds by heart and could tell a lot of interesting stuff. He could spot them while we still were struggling to see with binoculars at first and the most important he could read their behaviour. That placed us in perfect spots compared to other safari guides to see animals and also to witness some just for ourselves, at least until other cars spotted us.
We feel grateful to have seen all big 5 and also lots and lots of other impressive animals.
We also enjoyed the spirit in safari and other people too. Safari guides are very friendly and helpful to each other and guest, which creates feel-good vibe through the tour. The camps were also amazing - especially tent camps in Safari parks - Chaka Camp and Kiota camp. The biggest advantage for us was the intimacy of the place and the ability to hear animals quite close - lions, hyenas and other.
I could continue telling more and more - but instead you (the reader) should experience that!
Definitely the most memorable trip for us and we hope to return for more one day!
I have only warm words to say about Solomon - our safari guide and Lilian - the owner.
A small advice from us to other travellers - if you have time and opportunity to stay in the tent camp one extra day in order to experience it and have a bit of relaxation between long Safari days (eventually half way through your trip) - it would be money well spent.
Zohar made our trip incredible
We had an incredible time. We spent 4 days, between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Thanks to Lilian for all the organisation, her availability and her kindness.
Thanks to Adam our super french speaking guide.
And Thanks to Zohar for making this experience unforgivable. From the first communication we felt so confident with Lilian, and until the end of our trip.
Everything went perfectly well, all the little attention, and the immersion.
We would recommend Zohar at 100%.

Beyond Expectations, Highly Recommend Zohar Safari
I highly recommend Zohar Safari. After reviewing 30+ Safari outfits, I decided to go with Lillian's company Zohar Safari for our group of 12 friends over Xmas break Dec. 2021. The reviews where great, price was good for high end 5 star safari and I liked how the hotel accommodations looked in the photos. Lillian and her team where great to communicate with and where extremely accommodating with all our requests. All our hotels where stunning, well decorated and had comfortable beds. Our 2 Safari guides grew up in the region and where extremely knowledgable on how to track and find the animals. We saw the BIG 5 and thousands more animals during our safari. I highly recommend Zohar. They went above and beyond for our group.
