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.

Fantastic experience, highly recommend booking with Zohar!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Zohar! I was nervous to book the safari for many reasons: it was our first time visiting an African country, we were in the middle of an extended world trip and so our luggage situation was not ideal, and although I researched thoroughly I was still always slightly concerned that things sounded better on paper than they would be in real life.
I did not need to worry! Lilian and the team at Zohar were so professional and really took care of everything. Pre-travel, the safari guides and emails received were very helpful. We always received quick responses (or an explanation as to why there might be a delayed response). Lilian was always happy to do whatever she could to help us prepare for the trip. When we arrived, we had a WhatsApp group so that we could easily talk with the team if needed (although this was usually for photo sharing). Lilian also met with us in person before we left Arusha, to go over everything and answer any last questions. We were surprised when Jacqueline came to the airport to say goodbye before we left for Zanzibar (we had not expected anyone). It made us feel appreciated that the team at Zohar wanted to meet in person to make sure all our questions were answered and that we had a good time. We also appreciated the gifts of custom water bottles for the safari (reduce the plastic waste of many smaller water bottles!) and coffee beans to take home.
All of the hotel and itinerary recommendations were spot on and we enjoyed every moment. My kids are picky about where we stay and they really liked all of the places that were booked for us. Lilian warned us in advance about any quirks of the accommodations, which are expected when you are staying in a national park, but they were still clean, comfortable, safe and provided ensuite bathrooms and hot showers!
We were in Tanzania for 3 weeks and did not need to think about anything- as Lilian said, our only job was to show up on time, they took care of the rest! We appreciated them checking in with us frequently and being on top of it when (rarely) an issue arose. Solomon and Goodluck were fantastic safari guides and my kids still can’t believe we got to see a cheetah run at top speed in the wild to capture a gazelle! Some other unforgettable safari moments were having a herd of elephants come so close to us we could have touched them if we reached out, seeing a lion family resting on a rock and watching a mama lion catch breakfast for her cubs. We really appreciated Solomon and Goodluck’s expert driving, vast knowledge, keen eye and patience with our questions (and for their patience with our kids!).
We were also grateful that we received some authentic experiences. We were able to visit with multiple Tanzanian tribes, and felt that this was done in a manner that was very respectful of the culture. We tried local foods and even got to do a cooking class in Zanzibar.
We are so grateful for the skill and expertise of Lilian, Solomon, Goodluck and the rest of the team at Zohar. I had emailed many companies for quotes but Lilian stood out in many areas- price, quality of accommodations, speed of replies and ability to craft an itinerary that was ideal for my family. We felt that we were not another large group of tourists, like some of the other groups we saw, and that they truly wanted us to see what Tanzania was about. They also wanted to make sure our trip was memorable and comfortable, and the little details were always attended to (even cleaning the safari truck daily when possible!). I would 100% recommend Zohar to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

The best tour operator in Tanzania
Good afternoon, everyone!
We went on a Safari from Zahar Safaris in December and I can say this is the best safari tour organiser in Tanzania.
We saw a lot of wonderful animals in the Serengeti Park. We also got a small Zohar gifts (water bottle etc).
We are very grateful for organising an individual tour for us. And the hotel was wonderful!
Thank you again and we would recommend it to all people!

It was an excellent and complete experience to travel with Zohar Safaris
Zohar Safaris arranged a complete safari experience including very interesting cultural experiences. The sites were amazing and we have seen the big five and more! The duration of our stay was 2,5 weeks and included several parks: Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ndutu & Great Migration Camp and Ngorongoro Crater.
We had a wonderful driver/ guide (David), who knows a lot about the areas we visited and had many interesting stories and information about wildlife as well about living in Tanzania in general. My daughter and I love photography and a big advantage was that he knew how to position us when we wanted to take pictures. Guiding from Zohar safari was excellent and caring…..we love to go back one day!!
