Professional and dedicated
Fadhili is professional, helpful and dedicated. He is kin to answer any question we asked and explains every detail. His knowledge of the animals, eco-system and history is outstanding which provide us a fulfilling experience. Also, his vision is unbelievably good! He can easily spot animals behind rocks from across the river!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Perfect safari with the best guide fadhili and elya
This was the most amazing experience from being collected at the airport we were fully informed about our stay. The local knowledge on the journey to the hotel was great. The luxury stay on safari was out of this world. Fabulous food everyday including the packed lunches provided.
We went do tarangire nationalpark, ngorongoro crater, lake manyara and to the Serengeti.
Amazing to see so many animals in their natural habitat. The local massai with all the local villages and so many happy children makes you appreciate all you have. The staff particularly elia and fadhili were amazing at safari by Z from the minute our trip was booked and down to all staff at the safari during stay. Local entertainment was second to none whilst enjoying your meal. I would definitely do this trip again and could not
Recommend it enough.

Perfect Safari with the Best Guide Fadhili and Safari by Z
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Fadhili from Safari by Z. From start to finish, Fadhili was an outstanding guide—attentive, caring, and incredibly patient. He has amazing driving skills, making the bumpy tracks, aka the African Massage to be smooth and unnoticeable, which made our journey comfortable and enjoyable. But most importantly, Fadhili’s dedication to ensuring we saw every animal was remarkable! Thanks to his keen eye and expertise, we saw all the wildlife we hoped for from the best vantage points, something we’ll cherish forever. We cannot recommend Fadhili and Safari by Z enough for anyone looking for the ultimate safari adventure. This trip exceeded all our expectations!
A special thanks to Elya, who helped organize and plan our perfect safari. His patience and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Safari by Z - Tented Luxury and the Ultimate Tanzanian Adventure!
Our October 2024 safari with Safari by Z was an unforgettable adventure, blending rugged wildlife experiences with luxurious comfort. From the very start, Elia ensured every detail was planned perfectly, and our guide, Fadhili, turned the trip into a dream safari!
The magic began with the endless plains of the Serengeti, where Fadhili expertly guided us to see the “Big 5” and beyond. Not only did we witness lions in action and a leopard with a fresh kill, but we also spotted the elusive black rhino, bringing our wildlife tally to the “Big 7.” Fadhili was a master at finding even the hardest-to-spot animals and birds—his sharp eyes and deep understanding of the environment made each day a success. We were briefed every evening on the plan for the next day, and everything was organized seamlessly, allowing us to just relax and enjoy the ride.
While we were out in the wild, Safari by Z made sure we never sacrificed comfort. Staying at Mbuzi Mawe Tented Lodge and Nyumbani Serengeti Camp gave us the perfect blend of “tented luxury.” We had all the thrills of “roughing it” in the heart of nature, but with hot showers, gourmet meals, and cozy tents that made us feel right at home. Despite being in the wilderness, we felt incredibly safe throughout the entire trip, thanks to the careful planning and attention to detail by the Safari by Z team.
The experience continued into the Ngorongoro Crater, where the breathtaking views and dense wildlife felt like stepping into another world. Tarangire National Park was equally spectacular, with herds of elephants moving gracefully among the ancient baobab trees.
Fadhili’s knowledge and passion for Tanzania’s wildlife made the trip exceptional, and every moment—from the action-packed game drives to our relaxing evenings under the stars—was perfectly orchestrated by Safari by Z. If you’re dreaming of an authentic safari without sacrificing comfort, this is the team to make it happen!

EXCLUSIVITY AND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH THE BEST SAFARI EXPERTS
My husband and I have spent 6 days of Safari with Safari by Z visiting Tarangire, Manyara lake, Ngorongoro and Serengeti and it has been absolutely amazing.
Our guide Fadhili has been exceptional, we have seen all the animals, Rhino, Cheetah and Lion's mums with their cubs, and part of the migration.
We have been amazed and impressed with his professionalism, intensive knowledge and kindness. We have learned a lot about wildlife, culture and traditions. Thank you so much Fadhili for making this trip unique and unforgettable, you are the best!
We travelled in a Land Rover, very comfortable, always very clean inside and outside, with cold drinks and everything that you need to enjoy the experience.
The organization of Safari by Z has been perfect, they arranged everything so well, that we just had to relax and enjoy.
We have stayed on different Camps chosen by Safari by Z, and all of them have been amazing, clean, beautiful, with lovely staff and very tasty food.
This Safari has exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely grateful to Baraka and Fadhili for this magic trip.
I strongly recommend Safari By Z for and outstanding Safari experience.
