I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional safari experience Z provided us and my group during our recent safaris. Fadhili and happiness’s professionalism, kindness, and unwavering commitment to ensuring our satisfaction made our trip unforgettable.
Safari by Z’s extensive experience in the safari was evident in the meticulous planning and execution of our every adventure.

His ability to adapt our itinerary to the changing routes and wildlife patterns was particularly impressive, ensuring that we had the best possible experience.
We truly appreciated happy and Fadhili’s flexibility in accommodating our requests. Safariz by Z was dedicated to providing us with a safe and enjoyable experience.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the opportunity to observe and learn about the incredible wildlife.

excellent trip
We had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable safari experience in Tanzania with Safari By Z, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all expectations, and also our guide, Fadhili.
Fadhili's expertise and knowledge of the Tanzanian wildlife were simply astounding. From the moment we set foot in the Serengeti National Park, he effortlessly navigated through the vast wilderness, showcasing his unrivaled understanding of the animals and their behaviors. Fadhili's ability to spot wildlife from a distance was nothing short of remarkable, and he never failed to provide captivating insights about their habits and characteristics.
Beyond his expertise, Fadhili's passion for conservation was evident in every aspect of our journey. He emphasized the importance of preserving the delicate ecosystems we encountered, and his commitment to responsible tourism was truly inspiring. Fadhili's dedication to protecting the wildlife and their habitats served as a powerful reminder of the significance of sustainable travel.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend Safari By Z and the exceptional services of Fadhili as your guide. Prepare to be amazed!

Friendly and professional
Safari by Z made our first trip to Africa a breeze. We decided to spend our 20th anniversary on a Safari and couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. We only needed to book our international flights—all other travel was arranged by Safari Z, including transfers to Zanzibar. I loved how they gave us different options for our accommodations—each at different price points. We would definitely use them again!

3 days of dreams thanks to Fadhili and Safari by Z
We just came back from one of the most memorable experiences of our lives: a three-day safari organized by Safari by Z.
The trip was fully prepared by Happiness who for several months has worked with us to offer us the best experience. She was patient and what a nice surprise to see her when we arrived with a big smile to welcome us.
I am convinced that, even if a safari is a wonderful experience, the quality depends largely on the guide/driver and the car you board.
And we were really not disappointed. First of all, the Land Rover Defender in which we traveled was far better than all the other vehicles we saw. It was spacious, the windows were very large and all this is very important, you will understand it during your safari.
But more than anything, it was Fadhili our guide who made this experience unique. His kindness, his professionalism but above all his inexhaustible knowledge about all the animals encountered. Thanks to him and his passion, we were able to see animals that others did not see and we were able to evolve most of the time alone, without other vehicles around. We shared with him three days that we will never forget.
The Pamoja Hotel was superb, the staff very attentive, we couldn't dream better.
Thank you Fadhili for everything you have done, thank you Happiness for allowing this exceptional trip and thank you Safari by Z!!

The best guide of all: Fadhili
Safari by Z is a serious and reliable agency. We were rewarded for having Fadhili as our guide and driver for 5 days. His knowledge, professionalism and kindness was sensational

Very professional, friendly & responsive. Excellent experiences & accommodation, excellent guide
We were on a family holiday, all old people who were treated with exceptional care & attention. Our tour included fabulous highlights, we went to all the key national parks, saw amazing animals up really close. Our guide & driver Fadhili was exceptional, he was knowledgeable, engaged and a lot of fun. Our transport & accommodation were really comfortable. Service and staff were outstanding. Serengeti Nyumbani camp was a wonderful experience. Karatu Acacia Lodge is part of a coffee plantation & also very comfortable. Staff were fantastic, welcoming us with singing & lovely juice. On the last night we had a traditional African meal which was yummy.
Safari by Z itemised every item in their quote, their detailed plan was more thorough than others & the value for money was excellent. The attention we received from Fadhili every day and Wanaday in Arusha was more than we expected. Overall this holiday far exceeded my expectations. I'd recommend Tanzania and Safari by Z to anyone looking for a great (but reasonable) Safari holiday.

Incredible experience, Amazing Safari Tour Operator, Best guide (Lemomo) we could ever find
We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a safari trip with Safari by Z, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. We can't recommend this company enough, as well as their incredible guide Lemomo, and here's why:
- **Transparent Quotation**: The detailed breakdown of all the costs while creating a quote was incredibly helpful. It makes adjusting and tailoring the trip according to your needs super easy.
- **Accommodation Recommendations**: Gladness’s (the sales rep) suggestions for lodges and camps were absolutely spot on. We had memorable stays at some truly great places.
- **Personal Touch by Gladness**: Not only did she help put together a phenomenal trip and personally greeted us at the airport and bid us farewell on our departure day. She even took the time to check in on us halfway through the trip. Such gestures are rare and highly appreciated!
- **The Safari Vehicle**: Unlike other companies, their vehicle is designed for only 4 people. This means you have abundant leg space, ensuring utmost comfort during your journey. Most of the companies we saw on the road use 6-seaters with limited legroom. You spent all your day in the vehicle so this is super important
- **Quality of Vehicle**: They use Land Rovers over the usual Toyota vehicles, making the safari experience feel even more premium.
- **Employee Welfare**: Throughout our journey, it was evident that Safari by Z treats its employees with utmost respect and care.
Now, about Lemomo - our guide during this trip. The guide is one of the most important parts of your trip, you will spend a lot of time with your guide, so make sure it’s a great time. If you're booking with Safari by Z, I would personally suggest you request specifically for Lemomo as your guide, and here are my reasons:
- **In-depth Cultural Knowledge**: Being a Maasai, Lemomo can offer rich insights about the Maasai culture. With the major parks situated in Maasai land where he grew up, his knowledge about the terrain is unmatched.
- **Expert Navigator**: We witnessed other drivers getting lost, but Lemomo always knew the way. He even helped guide other lost drivers multiple times!
- **Animal Spotting Skills**: His prowess in spotting animals is commendable. Thanks to Lemomo, our journey was filled with countless sightings, perfect for photo opportunities.
- **Ecosystem Respect**: Lemomo treats the environment with the respect it deserves, ensuring minimal disturbance to the ecosystem.
- **Safety First**: We encountered many reckless drivers during our trip. But Lemomo, being the skilled driver he is, always prioritized our safety above everything.
- **More than Just a Guide**: By the end of our trip, Lemomo felt like a friend. Our conversations ranged from wildlife and culture to deeper philosophical discussions. He's not just knowledgeable but also possesses a great sense of humor, making every moment spent with him a joy.
To top off our trip, we also had the chance to stay at the Z Hotel in Zanzibar, owned by the same company. An absolute paradise on earth with top-notch facilities, delectable food, and impeccable service. Plus, bundling our safari with the hotel stay earned us a sweet discount.
In conclusion, if I ever decide to relive this magical experience, it would unquestionably be with Safari by Z and the wonderful Lemomo. For those planning a trip to Tanzania, you know who to choose!
Thank you, Lemomo, Gladness and Safari by Z!

Fantastic Safari Experience
I had my first safari experience through Safari by Z and it was the best way to be introduced. Our guide, Lemomo was extremely informative, savvy, and personable. We got to see every corner of the Serengeti with no question unanswered and expert navigation of the parks. Very easy to coordinate the aspects of each day with great recommendations for changes to the original schedule for better viewing experience or working around inclement weather. Would book again.

unforgettable experience
A very unforgettable experience, I felt caring from the beginning to the end. We saw a lot of animals along the way, including basically all the animals we can see, even black rhinos, which are very rare.
We have to mention our good guide, Lemomo. He is very professional and attentive. His driving skills are also top-notch, and his ability to find animals is also top-notch. He can find animals several kilometers away, but we can only use binoculars. We chatted a lot along the way, which made the time on the road less boring. If you choose their company, you are right to find him.
At the same time, Happiness's service is also very considerate. She has been patiently answering my questions. Due to the adjustment in the number of people, we have been communicating repeatedly for half a month. She is not bored and has been helping me adjust my plan and quotation. Thank you very much for her.
There are four of us in total and we learned a lot during this trip. Thank you Safari by Z.
