Incredible once-in-a-lifetime safari: Zohar provided unforgettable wildlife experience
My wife and me enjoyed 8 days of an unbelievably exciting safari with Zohar in August 2023 encompassing Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
From the very beginning of our planning to the end, everything was simply perfect. We cannot recommend Zohar highly enough!
While planning our safari we decided to pick Zohar as Jackline understood immediately what we were looking for and engaged intensely in creating the perfect itinerary for us. She answered all questions quickly via email and with her suggestions she definitely improved our trip. Being nice and caring she made it easy for us to organize everything before coming to Tanzania and continued communication via whatsapp during our whole safari. Compliments to her and the whole team!
The absolute jewel was Daniel! What an exceptional guide! With his enormous knowledge about the wildlife, the ecosystem, the differences between special places we travelled and the culture he enriched every day and contributed to realize the natural wonders we were just experiencing. He answered all questions patiently and was at the same time the best friend and teacher we could think of!
His passion for wildlife and environment created unforgettable impressions. While driving perfectly even on rough roads, he spotted animals most guides wouldn´t have seen. So besides the “Big Five” we could encounter in all their majesty we were fortunate to see so many other fascinating animals: giraffe, topi, hartebeest, elend, gnu, hyeana, jackal, cheetah, and even the smaller cats like caracal, civet and genet. Absolutely amazing how he spotted even these smaller animals in the tall grass while driving! And being very interested in birding, Daniel knew every single bird we saw!
Being so experienced Daniel took us to places usually without other safari vehicles around which gave us a really personal experience even in gathered areas like Ngorongoro. So we were definitely the only ones to spot that rhino along the base of the hill early in the morning.
Enjoying early morning drives, we started our safari days with Daniel at sunrise having a superb breakfast later in the morning in the middle of nature thus creating perfectly long safari experiences.
Daniel´s ability to position us for the best views even without disturbing the animals gave us incredibly close-up photos as well as showed his caring, respect and skill for the nature.
Going up to North Serengeti Daniel managed to position us absolutely perfect for the famous Mara River Crossing, we could experience gnus and zebras crossing 5 times at different spots with crocks around and attacking – images and experiences you will never forget and is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Perfect day
We had already booked a multi-day safari from Germany with another provider. Since we still had one day free, we booked a safari with Zohar. It was absolutely the best decision. Since we had our lodge in Arusha, we booked the Arusha National Park. We had never been to Tanzania before and had no experience about flora and fauna. I got an email from Zohar that they would rather take us to Tarangire. I was skeptical about the travel time, but accepted it. It was an absolute dream day. Tom picked us up on time and gave us information about the country and its people throughout the journey. We had a lot of fun with him. We talked about our safaris in other countries and what sightings interest us. He took all of that into account. We even saw a leopard. We all hoped so, but we also know the leopards :)
The lunch was delicious and the location chosen for it was simply breathtaking. Tom also taught us how to negotiate, as we had seen a beautiful picture at the gates to Tarangire. In retrospect, we often said how much we would have liked to have gone on the multi-day safari with Tom. Thank you for everything!

Reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy Safari Company
I found Zohar African Safaris based on the reviews I found online about them being a great safari company who are professional and very knowledgable - these reviews were not wrong.
All organisation was seamless and tailored to exactly what we requested, they offered a competitive rate in comparison too many other companies I contacted for the same safari. The contact throughout the planning process was rapid to any questions we had and they were delightful even with my many questions.
During the safari we had a fantastic time with our guide using his knowledge to show us things without 20 other jeeps around us, making us feel like we were truly in the wild and having a unique experience.
I have been on many other safaris with other companies but Zohar really stood out as exceptional for being an authentic company who seemed to truly care about the experience of the customer as well as respecting the animals and wild. There was no plastic at all and no behaviour of disturbing the animals, I was extremely happy and my sister and I had safari which we will remember for a lifetime.

Book with Zohar, you won’t regret it!
There are so many companies offering similar tours, but Zohar African safaris was a great choice.
From the first communication with Lillian I knew we would have a trip to remember. Lillian was always so accommodating and on hand to answer any questions, I really appreciated that we were able to change the date due to flight changes.
Our guide was Tom, he was fabulous company for our tour. He really knows his stuff and found us the Big 5! He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and was flexible after another flight change meant we had to leave later and from a different airport.
The accommodation we stayed in were fabulous and the staff also helped to make our tour unforgettable. Zohar arranged a little celebration for my husband’s birthday. The staff at Manyara’s Secret sung Happy Birthday in the traditional African way and gave a birthday cake. That really made it special,
Overall if you are looking for a safari in Tanzania, I’d highly recommend Zohar, you will not be disappointed.
Perfect and caring
We went on safari tours for our honeymoon. During our 4-day safari tours, Solomon, the guide, took such a good care of us and had a great deal of knowledge about wildlife animals. It was such a wonderful time not only because it was a honeymoon but we could see Zohar safari staffs’ efforts in almost every part of the tour. We will definitely choose Zohar safari again whenever we have another chance to plan our safari tours. I also highly recommend Zohar safari for its exceptionally timely and punctual manner especially when it comes to communication.

Unforgettable experience thanks to team Zohar African Safaris!
We booked our safari with Zohar African Safaris, because they had been recommended to us.
And indeed - we also were more than happy to have chosen this tour operator. They were very flexible when adapting the tour according to our personal wishes. Everything was organized the way we had wished for. Special thanks to Lilian, who was available for us at any moment during the planning process and later during the tour itself. It was a great pleasure to communicate with Lilian!
The lodges were well chosen - they were really comfortable, very clean, and the food was just amazing.
But the best of all was of course our guided safari tour - thanks to our well experienced and competent guide Solomon.
It was amazing how he could spot the animals even though they were really far away. Thanks to his good and expert explanations we learned a lot about the nature and the animals we saw. Moreover, he was a fanstastic driver - since the muddy roads were quite challenging. The safari tours were just amazing!
Thanks so much - team Zohar African Safaris - for providing an unforgettable experience to us!
We will highly recommend this company to our friends.

Amazing safari tour operator with a personalised touch
Zohar was very helpful and professional throughout, with great communication and constant updates.
Our safari was for our honeymoon and Zohar went above and beyond to make the safari extra special, with lots of lovely personalised surprises from start to finish.
Solomon, our safari guide, was incredible. We managed to see so much more wildlife than expected thanks to him, and we learnt more about the animals too. You spend a lot of time in the jeep with your guide and Solomon was great company throughout!
Would without a doubt recommend Zohar. 100/10!!

Amazing safari with a truly personalized touch! Highly recommend!!
Once we decided that we wanted to do a Tanzania safari to celebrate our honeymoon, we started looking into the multitude of local tour providers. After chatting with our final 8-10 local tour operators, we decided to go with Zohar.
Lilian, the owner of Zohar, was our main contact during the planning process. She was so helpful and always patiently worked with us updating and refining our itinerary based on feedback/research on proposed stays, activities. What set Zohar apart from others was that Lillian was communicative and advised us like a friend, rather than just a business operator. She has personally experienced many if not all the stays/activities and only recommends those that in her experience are worth going to or doing. We followed her recommendations, and she was always spot on! She made sure we had a special and personalized experience from airport pick-up all the way through drop-off.
Our driver-guide Solo was also amazing! He has many years of experience, and it made a huge difference in terms of the comfort of the long drives knowing that we could trust our guide’s judgment. During our trip we always felt safe around the animals even though we could almost touch them from our jeep. We wanted to see as many animals in their natural environment as we could, noting that this is highly dependent on time of year and that you should try to schedule your trip during one of the dry seasons. Our safari was in the second week of January and was focused on the northern circuit. Although we experienced some heavy rain on some of the days (mostly in the afternoon), we were able to see all the animals, including the harder to spot rhinos, cheetahs, and leopards thanks to Solo! He consistently brought us to prime animal viewing before others arrived. At times we were alone in the Serengeti witnessing magic before our very eyes. While a smartphone can capture many of the closer animals, sometimes it was helpful to have a longer zoom to capture sightings in the distance. The jeep also comes with a pair of strong binoculars in case you just want to take it in with your eyes. We truly had the trip of a lifetime and created so many memories!
Zohar delivers a highly personalized special trip from planning all the way to execution and they are constantly finding ways to improve their already excellent services. We would highly recommend booking an African safari with Zohar to create precious memories of your own!

Don't miss the Zohar teams!
We decied to order our trip to the Zohar having the good review on this site and others.
It was best choice for all we think.
The Zohar teams made a special good plan considering our every hope & set the 30th years marriage anniversary party at the camp site.
And at the last night presented the sparkling wine with our special label for our anniversary.
We have spend 8 days with the guide "Solo".
He searched the animals which we wanted to see including the big 5 from early morning & made all of them the true view.
He drived car to the good position and explain to us animals also birds using the illustrated book.
All of the selected hotels & the camp site were extream good on there service & view from assinged room.
