Zohar is THE BEST tour operator you could wish for
We cannot speak highly enough about Zohar and the exceptional work of Lilian, Solo and the entire team that planned and executed our safari experience in Tanzania.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and cared for like family. Every aspect of our trip was carefully planned, leaving us with unforgettable memories, small and big personalized surprises (no spoilers!) and a deep appreciation for Tanzania's wildlife and its people.
Lilian and her team truly care about creating an unforgettable trip for every guest. Their love, passion and genuine kindness shows in every detail and each step of the process. From the selection of stunning accommodations, delicious (sometimes home cooked) meals, and experiences every detail was carefully planned to ensure that we we would have an unforgettable journey.
Solo, our guide, is a true expert in the wildlife and natural surroundings of Tanzania. His passion for his work was infectious, and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible experience. Throughout the safari, Solo provided fascinating insights into the animals' behavior and the ecology of the area. He happily answered all our thousands of questions not only about the wildlife but about the live in Tanzania, making the experience all the more enriching.
Our journey took us more than one thousand kilometers through the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire National Park, Ndutu, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Solo fully adjusted to our schedule and so we usually spend our entire day searching (and finding) all the big five. From lions and elephants to hippos, leopards and even rhinos, the wildlife was simply breathtaking.
In addition to the wildlife, we also had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in Tanzania's culture. We visited local villages, interacted with the Maasai people, and learned about Tanzania’s history, traditions and way of life.
It was a humbling and eye-opening experience that gave us a deeper appreciation for the country and its people.
Overall, the exceptional work of the entire Zohar team made this personalized safari in Tanzania truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a safari adventure that combines wildlife, culture, and personalized attention, I cannot recommend Zohar, Lilian and the entire crew highly enough. You might even leave with new friends :)

Excellent Planning and very friendly!
We had an amazing experience thank to Zohar! We did a 5 day safari for our honeymoon and everything was excellent. The team even prepared a lot of surprises along the trip.
Thanks to the whole Zohar team and especially to Jackie and our guide Tom for an awesome safari.
I highly recommend this company!

Zohar was excellent every step of the way. Both before, during, and after the trip.
Zohar did an excellent job with every part of the trip. Communication and service was amazing. Any question we had before or during the trip were immediately responded to. We simply told them what we were hoping to see and do and they arranged the perfect itinerary to cover everything. We never had to worry about anything the entire trip. We simply showed up to meet our driver on day 1 and then everything is taken care of from that point on. All we had to do was enjoy the trip. We had a 4 day safari trip with 3 days in Zanzibar at the end. We did 3 nights in tented camps, 1 night in a lodge and then 3 nights at a resort(Zanzibar). All accommodations were phenomenal. Both the food and service were great. Best of all was our guide, David. He made the Safari experience far better than we ever imagined. We saw every animal we wanted to and more. David was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the wildlife, environment, and even plants and trees. We eventually found out that he had a college degree in wildlife management and frequently spends time with other guides refining their knowledge of botany and wildlife. He also seemed to know exactly where to go to find animals. We got to see many rare animals up close without any other vehicles around. He was extremely competent and always safe when it came to driving. We were genuinely sad to leave David once the Safari was over. We can't say enough good things about him. He really made the trip for us. There is not a single thing we would change about our trip. If you are considering a Safari, then I would highly recommend Zohar.

Couldn't imagine a more perfect safari
Zohar were simply amazing. They made our safari trip the wonderful experience it was. From the beginning to the hand, the organization was extremely professional and personal. We felt very well cared for and the whole team gave us the feeling like we were the only customers. They were available 24/7. The safari stunning and exceeded our expectations by far. The chosen accommodations were beautiful and the plan that Lilian had made turned out to be perfect. Especially our tour guide Leonard deserves endless praise. He is truly an expert and always got us the best views. He is so knowledgeable and kind that we feel very lucky to have had him guiding us. We always felt safe and taken care of. We know that it is difficult to choose a safari tour operator, but I would recommend Zohar 100 % without any hesitation. They will make your safari trip perfect.
Thank you again!

The most efficient company I have ever dealt with
Absolutely amazing experience. Zohar are a fantastic company to deal with. Everything was flawless, we had several zoom calls with Lillian before we arrived in Tanzania and were provided with a full detailed itinerary weeks in advance, which was very well structured with a good mix of safari and cultural activities. It covered all our family needs which is no easy feat with a family of two adults and four kids ranging from 7 - 13. We had a briefing with company staff members on arrival and they kept in daily contact with us through a WhatsApp group which was set up for our travels.
Tom, our guide was exceptional, he was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that we saw all the animals and shared vast knowledge of the wildlife and local culture. He was fantastic with the kids, they soaked up all the information he shared with them.
Accommodation, food, safari, cultural visits and beach holiday to Zanzibar were all excellent. I would highly recommend Zohar. You need to put this on your bucket list, it’s a must for anyone wanting to visit Tanzania. My family and I have made life long friends and memories.
Triona and family, Sydney

Best experience we will EVER have!
We have wanted to travel in Africa for over 7 years before we finally made it happen, so needless to say we had built up this trip in our minds for years. Let me just say, Zohar went so above and beyond any expectations we had to make this experience not only the best trip of our lives so far (and we've traveled a lot), but also probably the best trip we will ever take for the rest of our lives! Lillian and the Zohar team have been so kind and welcoming, and created a trip for us that was so far beyond all of our dreams that I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment we contacted Zohar to even now after we've come home, they have been there every step of the way with any questions, recommendations, little gifts and surprises, and even help with lost luggage! They tailored the trip completely to our interests and budget, and made us feel like we were their only clients in the whole world. All of the places we stayed were amazing, and most even had honeymoon accommodations that were absolutely lovely and so very sweet. We did chimpanzee trekking in Rwanda, gorilla trekking in Uganda (David was wonderful and so knowledgeable in Rwanda and Uganda!), and then we flew to Tanzania to do safaris in Ndutu, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our guide in Tanzania, Solomon, was absolutely amazing and the best guide we could have asked for - he knew the answer to every single question we asked, even about obscure plants and animals, and his passion for guiding, the land, and the animals was so contagious. Overall, to say this was the trip of a lifetime thanks to Zohar is an understatement. I cannot even imagine any experience that could be better than what they created, and we would travel with them a million more times. Thank you so much to the entire Zohar team!

BEST TOUR OPERATOR EVER!!!
We booked a safari with Zohar in 2020 for our honeymoon, but we couldn't go because of the pandemic. We stayed in touch all this time and Lilian and her team have always been kind and available to postpone and adjust the tour, giving us precious suggestions to fit it based on our desires: at the end everything was PERFECT, beyond any expectations!
David is a careful, funny, competent guide: he really knows everything about wildlife and he can predict the animals behaviors! Everyday with the Zohar team we felt special and pampered as they surprised us with little amazing gifts.
We really have no words to thank you enough for this great unforgettable experience!!!

PERFECT EXPERIENCE, TRUSTFUL & PROFESSIONAL TEAM!
We found out about ZOHAR through internet and we finally booked our safari with them because they had great reviews. I want now to comment about our experience so we can hopefully be of help to you reader. We had a great experience with ZOHAR team, Lilian was perfect since the very first minute, she gave us all the information that we needed, all her suggestions were perfect and our guide Solomon was passionate and very professional! On top of that, I want to share with you that due to a technical problem, our QATAR AIRWAYS plane from Madrid was delayed, we could't fly and we lost our Doha connection to Kilimanjaro. From the airport, we called Lilian and even it was not her responsibility, she arranged everything we had booked and already paid through ZOHAR, hotels, transfers, everything was arranged for us in a few hours, we finally travelled with QATAR two days after and we successfully completed our original ZOHAR safari program with NO COST at all for us, thank you very much to Lilian, Solo & ZOHAR to make Tanzania one of our best trips ever!

Our best choice
Without a doubt Zohar was our best choice for our honeymoon.
Lilian and her team sent us a lot of information from the beginning and were very attentive to give us different options and to solve all our doubts very quickly.
The process with them is wonderful because they take care of absolutely everything.
They are not only an agency that organizes safaris, for us they were also our salvation, because we missed the flight that was taking us to Tanzania and they quickly managed to get us from Kenya to Tanzania by car (leaving the airport was an adventure), and we felt at home as soon as we found them. They also took care of recovering our lost luggage at the airport.
On the other hand, there was always a detail to find from them every day: from personalized bottles to little notes that cheered up our days.
We were very lucky to have Leonard for our safari. The most attentive, patient and hard-working person in Tanzania. There was no animal that escaped us, and he always made sure that we observed it from the best position. And all with a big smile on his face. Thank you Leo for being part of this trip, and for spending the end of the year with us instead of with yours, that touched our hearts.
If you have read this far, really, count on Zohar to make your trip to Africa a great and unforgettable adventure.
With much love Muni and Borja.I
