An incredible Christmas Safari and several, interesting day trips!
Zuri Tours and Safaris is an excellent and reliable safari organizer! We ordered a safari for last Christmas and they customized it just as we wanted! At the safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara) we saw the big five and plenty of other animals, the driver was great & professional - he always knew where to go to find the animals! Everything worked out better than we even could expect. We spent one night at the public campsite, which was a great experience.
We also did some hotel reservations and day trips (Lake Chala & waterfalls) through Zuri Tours and Safaris. We really felt like this safari company did everything they could for us, so that we could have the holiday of our dreams! The employees took really good care of us. I can more than warmly recommend Zuri Tours & Safaris to anyone who is willing to have a safari of a lifetime - or is planning a trip to Tanzania and wants to book accommodation etc. reliably.

Friendly staff and everything went really great!
We had an amazing christmas safari! We saw lots of animals and the guide was really helpful and did his best so that we could get the most from our trip. Rest of the staff was also very friendly and the food was really delicious. I think this is a safari company that you can rely on and they are also super flexible. We planned our safari beforehand with the staff, so we had custom made safari trip made especially for us. Most memorable moment in our trip was when we were sleeping in a tent in the middle of Serengeti and there were buffaloes eating grass just a few meters away from us. That was the night that I won't forget!
We had also a short daytrip to the waterfall through this company. It was also really great. We saw the waterfall, swimmed almost in the middle of jungle, etc.
Flexible and reliable
As tanzania travellers having a few extra days to spend, we ran into Kevin of Zuri tours and safaris in Moshi. Kevin was able to arrange a day trip to the Kikuletwa hot springs near Moshi, then bring us to Arusha and even all the way to Dar es Salaam a few days later. Kevin is knowledgeable, resourceful and funny, and always checking if you're ok. He speaks perfect english, something you don't encounter at every local safari company. He knows how to make sure you enjoy, and even arranges local people to guide, while translating the swahili to english for you, so you really get to know a lot more about a place. Also, his company has very reasonable prices, just make sure to get a clear quote per person or for the whole group. Kevin will make sure there won't be any extra, hidden costs (which you absolutely don't always find around these parts). Would definitely make use of Kevin's services again.

Purely Adventures and Fun
I had an amazing experience touring with Zuri safaris,Kevin is one of the most loving person I know,he is consistently caring and calling to make sure his customers are at easy and well saved,I would never opt for any other tour company when it comes to my country Tanzania than Zuri Safaris,The whole team is amazing, hard-working and totally fun to be with,the chef is the big deal,I am still figuring out who cooks out a great pizza in the middle of the wilderness where lions and wild beast are just 1 metre away,but it did happen with Zuri Safaris,I had the most wonderful Time (Blast) and I will definitely bring my family again and again.Big-ups guys.

Reasonable price, We would do it again and again.
Me and My Husband had a great time throughout the eight days Safari with Zuri Tours and Safaris, Godlove as our guide and Iddy as our cook, it was memorable experience ever.
Emmanuel was very quick in replying our emails from the very beginning and they offered us the best price than the other companies that I emailed.
We opted budget camping safari, everything went well beyond our expectations. The tents were nice and clean, all the camping gears were in good condition. We saw all the big five and other animals, We almost saw everything. After Safari they gave us a complimentary day trip to lake chala, What a nice place. All in all, I think they provide excellent and professional service at a very reasonable price. They made our experience in Tanzania hard to forget, they made us fall with Africa. We highly recommend them.

Spent a really enjoyable day at Kikuletwa Hot Springs with everything taken care of by Zuri.
I was recommended Zuri Tours and Safaris by a friend and went on an awesome day trip to Kikuletwa Hot Springs with them. The Springs were just beautiful, so clear and blue! It was a wonderfully relaxing day. Emmanuel and Alpha from Zuri took care of everything and made sure the day was really special. I would definitely use Zuri again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, well run safari in fabulous Tanzania.

Kilimanjaro day trek, great experience, great guide, great day out!
We took a day trip with Zuri to Kilimanjaro. We decided to just do a one day hike to Mandara huts and Maundi crater at Kilimanjaro as we did not have six days to spare to reach the summit! This operator was great. Kevin always emailed me back as soon as possible with any query I had.Kevin came to meet us at our hotel upon our arrival and answered any questions we had about the trek. We were collected from our hotel on the morning of the trip and transport to Kilimanjaro was good with Kevin. The lunch box was very nice. The only thing was that we needed to buy our own water containers at Kilimanjaro as you cannot bring plastic bottles up the mountain, so perhaps the operator could consider having these for clients next time. The day trek was great fun. Our tour guide, king William was amazing! He has climbed the mountain to the summit 159 times so I felt very safe climbing with him. He was so friendly and helpful and always asked to take pictures for us which was nice. We got to see the market in Moshi also, as Kevin drove us after Kilimanjaro. We should not have seen the centre of moshi otherwise. The price was good with Zuri and services was good. I would recommend them to everyone. Thanks Zurich for a great trip.
Arousha Day Tour
My friend and I had an amazing day in Arusha with Kevin and Allen. We drove from Kilimanjaro, the journey was smooth and the drive was made better with the views of the mountains along the way. Our first sight was a local market, Tengeru Market, only available on Wednesday and Saturday so we got lucky! We really enjoyed our second stop, Lake Duluti, it was absolutely stunning! There is also an option to go canoeing for only 10k per boat! Unfortunately we did not have the time as we were hungry and wanted to watch a movie. We had lunch at a beautiful and cosy restaurant in the centre of Arusha, called Meru House Inn Restaurant. The food was lovely, who knew cashew nuts and chicken go amazingly well together?! The Cinema Complex was also great and it was good to watch a movie in a cinema again as we have been in Tanzania for just over 5 weeks and missed watching movies!
Kevin and Allen were very attentive, taught us some facts whilst we were there, I.e. the clock tower in the centre is known as the heart of Africa as it's directly in between Cape Town and Cairo. We had a great time with them, thank you Zuri Tours and Safaris :)
