The most amazing Safari vacation we could have asked for!!!
Lilian and the entire Zohar team are the best company we could have asked for! Lilian was very easy to work with, accommodating to all our requests, and very responsive. We planned our entire itinerary with Zohar which included flying from mainland to Zanzibar to stay a few days, flying to Gombe National Park for chimp trekking, and flying into the Serengeti to start our 6 day safari. Lilian booked every stay we had and even scheduled all of our rides/flights which made everything very easy throughout our trip.
Our guides while we were in Gombe National Park were all very nice and helpful and we highly recommend staying at least a night at Mbali Mbali Gombe Lodge if you can. We saw a ton of velvet monkey and baboons around the lodge and several chimps when we trekked through the park.
Once we were in the Serengeti, we were picked up by Solomon, Daniel, and Goodluck with Zohar African Safaris and we couldn't have asked for better guides. They were all extremely knowledgeable of the animals, extremely nice, and went above and beyond each day so we could see as many animals as possible. We were able to see every animal we could possibly think of and more and we have Zohar to thank for that! Also, all of the places we stayed at were really nice, the food was excellent, and all for an affordable price.
This was a trip of a lifetime and if we go back, we will be using Zohar African Safaris!

Amazing amount of attention to your needs and completely over the top care!
Lilian took everything we wanted to see and do and made an incredible itinerary for us The hotel and tent lodges were located ideally for where we were going and were great!! Most of our meals were included and the food was fantastic! I really enjoyed our hot meals, especially the one on the Serengeti, while watching the migration of wildebeests!
The automobiles were comfortable and well equipped. We were provided personalized water bottles with zero waste for the whole trip. There were snacks, water, blankets, photography bean bags, and anything we could have needed. Our guides, Daniel, Solomon, and Good Luck were amazing. They were able to spot animals literally a mile away! They are extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much from them. As well as being great drivers, they were able to position our car in the path of numerous animals. We had zebras, elephants, cheetahs, lions, and giraffes all walk in front of our car. it was very exciting to have a lion walk right up to our car! I had a digital camera with a 400 mm lens that I was unable to use due to the fact that the animals were so close to us. They were too big to fit in the frame! I had high expectations for this trip to Tanzania and with Zohar African safari’s help it exceeded my expectations!
The company is based in Tanzania and if there was any misunderstandings, things got rectified in minutes. I can’t say enough good things about Zohar African Safaris. They pay extreme attention to your needs and fulfill you wishes and desires!
Thank you Lilian, Daniel, Solomon, and Good Luck for making a trip of a lifetime so exciting and memorable
Trip of a lifetime! Zohar team is super professional and amazing!
Amazing and memorable Safari experience, so unique and different from other trips! Serengeti and Ngorongoro are full of surprises and wonders! We saw what we came to see and that's all because of our wonderful guide Solomon. He is so experienced, processing profound knowledge of animals, able to spot animals from miles away and predict their behaviors. Journey with him is so fun.
Hotel/lodge/camps we staved are up to high standard and the views are breathtaking. And food is amazing.
Lilian and her team are amazing and professional, always there and willing to help throughout the trip and even beyond the trip. They are willing to accommodate to our needs, just like their slogan - With a more personalized touch! We will definitely and strongly recommend Zohar to our friends and families!

Absolutelt incredible
We would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend Lilian and the entire Zohar team for your safari adventure. We chose Zohar for our honeymoon safari and we have to say it was one of the most memorable and incredible experience of our lives, credit entirely to Lillian and the team. Our guide Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we got to see all that Tanzanian wildlife has to offer.
Every aspect of the trip was smooth, and we were happy to trust Zohar with planning the itinerary. Lillian is dedicated to ensuring you have a memorable experience and we can vouch for that as she really put her all in to ensuring that for us. We will definitely be recommending zohar to all our friends.

A magical first safari experience with Zohar safaris
This was our first time visiting Tanzania and Zohar safaris provided excellent support before, during and after our trip. We had a phenomenal 6 days organised by Josephine and the team at Zohar, starting in Arusha and then visiting Tarangiere, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. We could not fault the companies communication, organisation and genuinely warm and friendly support whilst we were in Tanzania. We chose to stay in mid-range lodges/camps throughout our safari. The lodges we stayed in were clean, high quality and very comfortable. The beds in the Serena hotels were outstanding!
Our guide, Solomon, was a real asset to the team at Zohar. Anyone being guided by him will have an excellent time. He was professional, enthusiastic and made sure we always felt safe. He had an abundance of wildlife knowledge and was always trying to ensure we stopped and learned about what we were seeing, referencing encyclopaedias as we travelled. My partner is particularly interested in birds, and Solomon took a lot of time to point out specific birds he felt would be of interest. We are were also interested in photography, so Solomon spent time trying to position the safari truck with appropriate lighting for good shots. The days are long on safari (often 10-12 hours out in the bush!) but Solomon always made sure we were comfortable and happy with the timings and length of the day.
We noticed many other guides were very quiet or stayed sitting whilst their groups were watching the animals. Solomon often stood with us and explained about the animal, or specific animal behaviour. We felt very lucky to have him guiding us. He also had incredibly good eyesight and could spot lion/cheetah/leopard/rhino from hundreds of meters away! He was often the first guide to see an animal, and then other guides followed him.
The small extra touches provided by Zohar made the whole experience feel very special for us both. It was a trip organised for our honeymoon, and we were made to feel very special at each lodge we arrived at. The whole trip felt very personal to us both.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zohar to anyone who wants to feel genuinely welcomed by a company, provided with high quality guides and accommodation. We loved every day of our travels and hope to be able to return one day! Thank you for such an amazing once in a lifetime trip.

Knows the Serengeti and the animals in it better than anyone. We always were in the best spot.
Zohar was absolutely incredible. Our guides, Solomon, Daniel, and Goodluck were the best. Honestly felt like best friends by the end of the trip. They knew the Serengeti better than anyone and understood the animals behaviors so well that we were always in the best positions for viewing. 100/10. Trip. I highly highly recommend. You will not regret it.
If you are looking for pictures from this trip I have a highlight on instagram of everything. @maxwelldolensky

An experience we will remember our whole lives!
It took us a while but we finally found the right words to describe this experience.
It was the most amazing, beautiful, interesting, breathtaking experience we had.
From A-Z everything was thought through to the highest possible standards and to the smallest detail.
Solomon, our guide and driver gave us the warmest possible welcome at the airport,from there things just got better.
Solomons experience and professionalism was on an another level, the things we got to see were breathtaking and most of the time we were the only ones lucky to witness this beauty.
The Hotels the Zohar team picked out for us were unique, luxurious, and beautiful. The food was amazing.
We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our honeymoon. We are grateful to Lilian and her team. This was an experience we will never forget!

5 star safari
After a few e-mails we booked our 5 day safari (1 day at Lake Manyara, 2 days at Serengeti Park, 1 day at ngorongoro park and 1 day at Tarangire park) and we hit the jackpot.
Your mainly contact was with the owner (Lilian) that was always available for any doubts and recommended two beautiful accommodations, particularly Manyara’s Secret Lodge.
They make you feel special every step of the way.
During the safari they prepare many surprises to us, such as bouquet of roses, champagne and wine.
The jipe was new and very comfortable.
Our guide (Tom) was enthusiast and knowledgeable about the animals and their habitats. Don’t hesitate to ask for him because he always knew where to find the animals and we saw all the big 5.
Don’t hesite going on a safari with Zohar. It’s a 5 star experience.

Super efficient travel company
Lilian and her team were amazing. Communication was superbly easy and we were in constant touch from start to finish. As well as Lilian taking the time to meet us before our Safari and afterwards. Any problems we may have had were swiftly dealt with and they went over and beyond to ensure we had a great trip.
Our guide, Solomon was incredible and was polite, funny, knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with.
The accommodation picked suited us very well and was different each evening. The safari camp, whilst being slightly rustic was extremely comfortable and a must do as you are really immersed in the African bush but with all creature comforts as an added bonus.
The wildlife sightings were incredible and we travelled by road from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We had some memorable moments from close encounters with Cheetahs and a Leopard strolling on the road in front of us, to seeing juvenile lions try and take a buffalo down. Lots of wonderful vistas to enjoy and whilst the journey was bumpy at times, just sit back relax and let Zohar safaris take care of you .
We will be using this company in the future and we wish them all the very best in the future and hope that they can continue to stand out of the crowd in what is a very competitive market.
Asante sans.

Caring, clear communication and nice people!
Me and my husband spent 6 days during our honeymoon with Zohar African safaris. We really enjoyed our time, we were in contact with several companies beforehand but choose Zohar since their great communication via email (with Lilian) that answered all our questions, tailor made after our wants and needs and came with great suggestions. During the time on the safari we had a very nice and knowledgeable guide named Boniface. He made it personal and didn't feel so "touristy", he listened to our needs but were also clear in his recommendations. We got nice food and snacks during the whole time and many fun surprises during the safari trip so it really felt unique and that Zohar and Boniface really made a big effort for us to get a memorable honeymoon and vacation. Would recommend everyone to go with Zohar African safari!
