Experience and memories that will last a lifetime. Best company.
We are a couple who went on a 6 day safari with Zohar. We found Zohar on this site and was one of about 5 we had narrowed down to. After communicating with zohar, we were sure we wanted to go with this company. Zohar was great with communication from day one. It took us several weeks to finalize our plans and Zohar was caring and thoughtful in helping us finalize our plans. We asked lots of questions and they always answered them thoroughly. They helped us put together the absolute best itinerary and worked with our budget to make our dream come true. Communication with Zohar was excellent during the planning process and throughout the safari. The service on safari was amazing. We loved all of our accommodations on safari. They were all memorable and I don't know how anything with the accommodations could be improved. All comfortable and beautiful. Food was always top notch. The safari Land Cruiser was absolutely awesome!! We had a blast riding in that thing. Our guide, Solomon, was the best guide. We could not have had a better fit for us. He was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited, the animals, and he is an excellent driver in all conditions. We had 100% confidence in his driving abilities and it was clear that he was very experienced in the rough terrain. We felt safe with Solomon and we learned so much about the animals and the areas we visited. We shared a lot of laughs and will always remember him. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with this amazing trip and Zohar went above and beyond to make us feel so special. They provided experiences that we will always remember. The lunches on safari were the best. Everyone on other safaris would be having a lunch box, but with Zohar, we had the best meals with a table setting and excellent food. Very memorable and this is one thing Zohar does to set themselves apart from other companies. Plenty of water provided in the LandCruiser's refrigerator. I drink a lot of water daily and we never ran low. We saw the big 5 on our trip. Of course this is never a guarantee and we weren't promised anything like that, but I just want to put out there that we did see all of the big 5. We were able to visit Tarangere, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi, and of course we went to the Serengeti. We covered a lot of ground on this trip. We were absolutely in the best hands. I would use Zohar again and again and I highly recommend them. Thank you Zohar.

Customised, personalised and unforgettable!
Zohar African Safaris provides customised, personalised safaris and immersive cultural experiences. Travelling with another solo female traveller and having limited time in Tanzania, Lillian provided us with a "best of" experience over 3 days - at very short notice. Our highly qualified and knowledgable guide took us to Tarangire National Park on the first day, where we saw an abundance of wildlife, followed by a most comfortable stay at at the spacious Safari Lodge. The Tanzanian sunrise overlooking the national park was breathtaking! Day 2 saw us at the Majimoto Boardwalk and Hot Springs in Lake Manyara National Park to check out the sea of pink flamingos - my personal favourite. We were then treated to a traditional lunch in a family home, with delicious food and warm hospitality. A bike ride through the villages and countryside, chatting to locals and even tasting banana wine at a local 'pub' in Mto wa Mbu was the highlight. We spent overnight in the wonderfully appointed Country Lodge, with a hearty breakfast, before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We had incredible views of the crater before descending into the crater itself, again seeing a plethora of wildlife, a lion crossing our path only a few meters away!
Lillian and her team expertly tailored the experience, with a highly qualified and friendly guide who ensured the whole safari was hassle free - from the moment of pick up to drop off back to our hotel. I cannot recommend Zohar African Safaris highly enough, for a truly unique, authentic and unforgettable experience!

A DREAM COME TRUE
We booked in quiet last minute, but Lilian assured us that everything was going to work out fine and it did. We couldn't have thought of going on safari with any other company. Every single detail was well taken care of and the attention and care we got was above and beyond from what we could have ever wished for. Solomon was our driver and he was extremely knowledgable, it was super impressive. I can't even imagine how many questions we asked, but he answered each one of them. It was such a pleasure learning Tanzania and it's culture through his expertise. We are definitely looking forward to come back and we would choose Zohar again in a blink of an eye.

I received an excellent service during my stay.
After looking into several safari companies, I decided to travel with this local owned boutique company because of how well they attention to details, they listen to their customers and provide them with what is best for the customer.
I had the most amazing New Year’s in Tanzania, and it’s all thanks to Zohar team. Jacqueline was super quick in responding to my questions tirelessly. As a solo traveler, it was very difficult to make most decisions because I was not sure what would be the best thing to do. I had a alot of questions as i wanted my trip to be perfect. I was lucky enough that Jacqueline was there to make sure all my questions were answered in details and I had everything I needed.
I had 3 days safari visiting Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro crater and it was a great combination of seeing animals and some nice activities. My guide Baraka was very knowledgeable, very helpful and caring.
When I arrived in Zanzibar, my guide Said was there to pick me up for Stone Town tour. The next day he picked me up for Spice tour before driving further to my beautiful apartment fews minute to the beach. Zanzibar beaches are just breathtaking and I wished I had more time there.
I had an amazing time and its all thanks to Zohar African Safaris Limited. Am looking forward into travelling with them again sometime in the future. I definitely recommend this local operator to anyone who is looking for one unforgetable lifetime experience.

A trip of a lifetime to beautiful Tanzania
We, 7 friends from Canada, were looking to plan an adventure to Tanzania, Africa that included a Mount Kilimanjaro 8 day climb and a Safari tour. While looking for help to plan and organize this adventure we came across Zohar African Safaris, a local company that is operated out of Arusha. The owner/operator, Lilian Mbise-Kramer was quick to respond to our inquires and mapped out our entire trip with 3 different ending itineraries. She was extremely patient and helpful with us while we made decisions about our stay and individual plans.
During our time in Tanzania the level of service and support we experienced from Lilian and her crew of guides and porters was exceptional. Lilian was resourceful at managing and troubleshooting issues, questions or last minute requests; all were handled swiftly and professionally. Lilian also had a few surprises for us along the way (a huge celebration awaited us at the end of our Kili climb).
We can't thank Lilian and her team (Isah, Peter, Julius (Kili guides); Adam and Nixon (Safari guides)) enough for showing us their beautiful country with grace, kindness and friendship - you are all such wonderful ambassadors of your country - we hope we have the opportunity to visit again one day!

Absolutely amazing Kilimanjaro and safari by Zohar African Safaris
Lilian from Zohar provided our group of 7 friends from Canada with an amazing experience in Tanzania! First the Kilimanjaro climb - with our head guide Isaa, we had an absolutely fantastic team supporting us and we all summitted! This team of hard working guys will hold a place in our hearts forever! After our 8 day adventure on the mountain, we were off on safari to Tarangire National Park, Manyanara National Park, and the Serengeti. We had 2 vehicles for 7 of us along with our excellent guides Adam and Nixon. Seeing all the African wildlife up close was just amazing! Accommodations on the safari were always interesting and beautiful and the food on both the mountain and safari was delicious and plentiful.
Lilian provided us with an unforgettable experience in her beautiful Tanzania! She went above and beyond and I will be forever thankful!

Amazing experience that exceeded my expectations
Our group of 7 friends (all middle-aged) anticipated an experience of a lifetime and our time in Tanzania exceeded our expectations - Lilian at Zohar tours planned every detail based on our requests and recruited an amazing, professional team who made sure our adventures were a success. Our first part was the 8-day Lemoshe route to summit Kilimanjaro- to the top for all of us! Our guide, Isaa, along with his hand-picked team really wanted us to stand to complete our dream (one team/one dream was our mantra) - the encouragement and support especially the singing was a big help every day but especially on summit day. The celebration at the bottom with Lilian and everyone was very emotional- a day we will never forget. From there we went on safari with two vehicles/two guides (given that we were 7 the additional room was appreciated). Adam and Nixon proved to be very knowledgeable and I can’t believe how much we saw- all of our accommodations were unique and had their own charm. The food on the mountain and safari was wonderful; lots of options and definitely plentiful. I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. Tanzania is a beautiful country with amazingly friendly people who welcome you warmly.

A unique cultural tour including safari and gorilla tracking
This tour exceeded our expectations. It was detailed and well organized. Communication with our travel agent was daily. Having the agent be local to the area in which we traveled was very helpful. We recommended an introductory brochure with FAQ be mailed upon first deposit of the trip. We also recommended Skype sessions for all the details when planning a custom tour. It was a delightful trip.

Amazing Trip with the Best Driver and Coordinator
We stayed in the Serena Group of hotels which were very good as well as the Tarangire Sopa Lodge which was excellent.
Our driver, David was very knowledgeable on animal behavior and the wildlife reserve. Thanks to him we saw the BIG 5 as well as the SMALL 5. He was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable.
Lilian, owner of Zohar was very prompt in her emails and included all the sights we wanted to see including the Masai Village and having an authentic African meal.
Overall a very memorable trip thanks to Lilian and David
