Fantastic Trip in tanzania with safari by z, the best guide fadhili and elia who arranged everything
We booked a 6 day safari in combination with our stay at Z Hotel Zanzibar.
The arrangement was made via WhatsApp, the correspondence was great and made planning this unique experience easier. Elia organized everything for us including camp stays and domestic flights.
At the airport we were warmly welcomed by Elia from the office and our guide Fadhili. Shortly after the Sarafi began, we headed to Tarangiri National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, followed by a return flight to Zanzibar.
Fadhili, our guide, was amazing. He was very friendly and knew everything there was to know about animals and plants, basically a walking encyclopedia. We always felt safe in the car with him, even if the “roads” were quite bumpy at times.
The car we drove around in was a Land Rover, 99% of other safari companies use Toyotas which are much less comfortable.
We had an extraordinary time! Many thanks to Safari by Z and especially to elia and fadhili who made this experience so unforgettable and ran so smoothly.
We can only warmly recommend it and would book through Safari by Z again at any time.

Excellent!
Our booking experience was seemless with Happiness. We provided her the dates and she came up with the best itinerary with multiple options. She is wonderfully professional.
Our safari guide was Fadhili, he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We left on time and without issue. He knew exactly where to be and gave us the best experience.
We stayed in the midrange option and it was very nice. The staff at the Simba Karatu were kind and friendly.
Very happy with our experience.

A fantastic trip in Tanzania with Safari by Z and its fabulous driver Fadhily
We have started talking about our Safari trip in Tanzania for over 10 years, and finally our dreams came true this year. We are especially happy with our decision on having Safari by Z as our local agency and Fahdily as our driver & guide.
Our contact at Safari by Z Happiness is indeed a happy and nice young lady with great patient, attention to details. “Professionalism” is not the exact word to describe her knowledge of the local conditions and being able to offer the best plan, because she is more than just an expert but someone who really cares about your time, your money, respects your expectation and tries every effort to make the trip the dreamed one for you.
Our driver and guide Fadhily is a diligent, smart and warm-hearted fellow. He is very experienced in finding and tracing animals, so we got to see so many amazing creatures, including all the “big-fives”, beautiful bird and countless zebras, giraffes, elephants…. He is a driver master. He knew where and when to park so we had the best position to shoot pictures without interfering the animals, how fast to drive so we have enough time enjoy finding and watching while arriving in accommodation on the right. I guess he is also a good photographer because he counted framing, lights and timing into positioning the car, so amazing…. Everyday, he teddies his car, plans ahead, teaches us new stuffs in local language, pointing animals hiding in grass, finds good picnic spots, shares local histories and tales to rich up the trip….
I guess that’s nothing more you can expect from a travel agency, a trip planner, a driver and guide, and we felt so fulfilled and happy for this trip.

A friendly, knowledgeable and excellent driver who gave us a brilliant week.
We spent a week in Tanzania, where we drove a huge distance over difficult roads each day. Our driver, Fadhili was exceptional! Spotting animals, left, right and centre, identifying and giving us fun and interesting facts about each one, while doing some amazing off road driving. He was very professional, friendly and welcoming and was a big part of our week out here.
The car was clean, spacious and comfy. Safari by Z provided us with binoculars, unlimited cold drinks and a free cap, as well as the best tour guide we could have hoped for. Having a Land Rover was really cool. A car that was powerful as well as making us feel safe.
The itinerary planned by the company was brilliant, with the perfect activities and plan, each day flew by.
We saw every animal we could have dreamed of and experienced some awesome moments and action. Safari by Z really helped this dream we had come true and I would recommend them to anyone. We loved it!!!

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!!
