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.

Good company bit car had issues and started safaris late each day
I went on a safari with them in November 2022 and overall the experience was really good, but I didn't find it as amazing as everyone writes in the comments. First, the driver wasn't the friendliest and we started our days much later than I had been told (8 am leaving time from the camp where it should have been 6 am for example). The car had issues and broke down on the way back.
I feel like a lot of tour providers are out there and you need to get a bit lucky as well, but don't think spending more will automatically mean better quality.

High quality Safari with well experienced guide. Highly recommend to book a private safari via Z!
We had the best experience ever with Safari by Z. We are so glad we booked our Safari via Z. Great value for money. Please do not hesitate to book via Z, because the other bigger tour operators will have full trucks and drive less safe. Everything was perfectly arranged and combined with our stay at the Z hotel we got the full Tanzania and Zanzibar experience. Together with our driver Lemomo we had a private safari through the Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. We saw all the beautiful animals and spotted the big 5! Lemomo is the best driver we could ever imagine. He knows all about the animals, the culture and is very polite, kind and funny. We couldn’t wish for more! I would highly recommend booking via Z. They arrange the full package carefully and do everything to give you the best experience. Thank you again Lemomo for everything you showed and taught us. Kind regards from your Dutch friends!

The trip of a lifetime! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My son and I are just finishing up a 5 day safari with Safari by Z. It has been the most amazing experience. We love to travel and have visited many countries but this trip is #1. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Tanzania is a such a beautiful county and the people are wonderful. We saw every animal from lions, leopards, elephants, cheetah’s, giraffes, and every animal you could ever think of seeing on a safari down to baboons and even lemurs and mongoose. We saw everything and we were close enough to touch them. It was incredible! What made the trip even more special was our guide Lemomo. He made sure that we saw everything, when we saw a cheetah in the distance, too far to barely see through the binoculars, he took off and brought us literally beside it. He made the trip for us and he is such an asset to this company! We enjoyed his company so much. I can’t recommend him enough, and Safari by Z! From start to finish, from the planning and the emails to the actual trip. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
I thought this was a once in a lifetime trip but I’m literally thinking about when I can come back and do another one soon. With Safari by Z and Lemomo of course!

They have extensive knowledge of the area, animals, and any question you might have. I could not have had a better experience! Thank you to Safari by Z and especially the best guide Lemomo! We will be back soon!

The complete safari package
After a lovely week on Zbar at Z Hotel me and the wife quite impulsively booked a 4 day safari via Happy at Safari by Z booking. She was a great help in arranging everything. We compared it with quite a three other tour operators on safaribookings.com, but Safari by Z delivered a tailor made safari package to a lower cost than the other options. I am very glad we went with Z. We have been on safaris in SA, Kenya and Tanzania before, so we have plenty of previous experience to compare the Z experience with. They flew us directly to Seronera in the middle of Serengeti, as requested, and we made our way back through N'dutu with the great migration, and ended up at Ngorongoro. We saw 2 week old lion cubs and a cheetah hunting down a fresh kill, as well as everything else we hoped for. All this is mainly due to our excellent safari guide Fadhili. He knows everything there is to know on the savannah. In addition he seems to know everyone on the savannah as well, and everyone knows and likes Fadhili. I can see why everyone likes him. He is knowledgeable, polite, trustworthy, funny and an excellent driver and guide. After a short week with him I am proud to call him a friend. And he drives the Safari by Z Landrover Defender. Going on a safari is not cheap, nor should it be. But If you decide to go, go with Fadi and Z, and be the kings and queens of the savannah in your own Defender expertly guided by Fadhili.

Most beautiful experience.
My Safari by Z was an experience i will never forget for the rest of my life. Perfect organization and my driver Oscar was the best choice one can have. I am so happy i could see all the beauty of the national parks and the accommodation at Niumbany collection camp was simply exceptional.

Lemomo was knowledgeable, accommodating and enjoyable to be around.
We loved our tour. Everything went according to plan and was so much better than we could have expected. The cost was reasonable and we were full after every meal. We always felt safe and communication was constant as to what our next step was. Albin and Lemomo gave us an extremely memorable experience.

Top experience. Amazing trip!
Albin (sales consultant from Safari Z) was very helpful since the very begining. The experience is well worth and the safari camps and lodges that we chose were fantastic! Our driver-guide Lemomo was great and I highly recommend him.
Asante!
