Fantastic
We booked a 2 week itinerary with ZAFS consisting of the 7 day Lemosho route and a 3 day safari.
Huezeifa was our point of contact months before our trip and was patient to answer all of our questions. His advice was extremely valuable to pack all the essentials for our trip.
The trip itself was fantastically organized, we had all the information in the right time and the ZAFS team was also available to us for any questions during the trip.
The guides and the rest of the crew that
ZAFS works with really knew their stuff, they were professional and a lot of fun to climb the mountain with. Their help and expertise was instrumental at getting us to the top of Africa

An Unforgettable Journey: Conquering Kilimanjaro and Exploring the Serengeti with ZAFS Tours
I recently had the privilege of embarking on an unforgettable journey with ZAFS Tours at the end of September, an adventure that encompassed the Lemosho route climb of Mount Kilimanjaro over 7 awe-inspiring days and a breathtaking 3-day safari experience in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I cannot emphasize enough just how fantastic this experience was.
The true heroes of our Kilimanjaro ascent were the incredible crew that accompanied us on this monumental journey. The porters, chefs, and our exceptional guides, Amani, Gabriel, and Samuel, were the pillars of our success. Their patience in addressing our myriad of questions, their unwavering professionalism, and their extensive knowledge made every step of the climb a pleasure. Thanks to their expert guidance, all 7 of us in our crew successfully reached the summit – a remarkable achievement that wouldn't have been possible without them.
Speaking of remarkable, the food prepared by our talented chef, Zakaria, was nothing short of amazing. In fact, it rivaled, if not surpassed, the fare found in some of the finest restaurants. The variety and quality of the meals were beyond my expectations and added a delightful dimension to our entire climb.
The word 'fantastic' doesn't even begin to describe our overall experience. From the moment we embarked on our adventure until the very end, everything was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. I wholeheartedly recommend ZAFS Tours to anyone seeking an unforgettable journey. The credit for this exceptional experience goes to the owner, Huzeifa, and the dedicated team, including Ryder, John, and others, who left no stone unturned to ensure that nothing was missing. From our timely airport transfers to the accommodations before and after the climb, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, allowing us to focus on the incredible journey ahead.
Our safari adventure, led by the knowledgeable and friendly guide George, was equally remarkable. His expertise in showcasing the wonders of the wild, educating us about the animals, and ensuring our safety added a unique dimension to our experience. The encounters with the wildlife were absolutely mesmerizing.
In summary, I cannot recommend the Kilimanjaro climb and the safari experience with ZAFS Tours highly enough. It's a testament to their expertise and dedication that I was able to enjoy these incredible adventures without a worry in the world. Thank you for making this dream come true, and I look forward to more unforgettable experiences with your exceptional team in the future.

Best travel partner in Tanzania
Will run short words praising the management of Zafs tours - we planned 20 days trip with zafs starting from our trek to Kilimanjaro, followed by safari and Zanzibar indulgence.
One good decision that made our trip something to cherish for life.
Zafs and their highly qualified trek team - made our journey worth every min. Our Trek leader Ben was an inspiration, his patience , camaraderie and ability to gently making sure we summit safely was commendable. His knowledge of flora and fauna around made our trek day something to look forward to.
Huzeifa planned our itinerary and needless to say - how well curated it was to suit our likings.
Left Tanzania with a heavy heart and wanting for more. This ain’t going to be our last trip to Tanzania and with Zafs

I highly recommend Zafs Tours.
I highly recommend Zafs Tours. The guides, porters, cooks, waiters and cleaners were superheroes in my eyes, these guys went above and beyond to make us feel safe and comfortable. The guides were very professional and supported us in each and every step and gave informative information about the environment and history of Kilimanjaro which made our walk enjoyable. Zaff staff made sure our tents were ready before we arrived and food was cooked on time, portable toilets were life saving and were always kept clean. I must say the breakfast and especially their soups were delicious. Climbing Kilimanjaro through the Machame route was tough but made it to the top and this wouldn’t have been achieved without the guides and porters support. They made sure we had enough guides all the way through. We thank Zafs tours for looking after us even after the Kili climb by taking us to chemka hot springs and Serval Wild Life as we completed the kili climb one day early

Into the Wild!
We had booked a 3 day Safari with ZAFS for 2 days Serengeti and 1 day Nghoroghoro in the month of August 2023, immediately after our Kilimanjaro Trek with ZAFS itself. The safari was a one of a kind wild and excellent experience. I am particularly amazed with the stay in the middle of the jungle with growls and footsteps so near to our tent! That experience was adventurous and wild! Wont forget ever, the shivers that went through my body when we tried to just open up the zipper of the tent model room and heard the growls and movement so near! We were welcomed to the camp by 3 lions drinking water and walking past us! In the safari, we could spot almost all of the Big 5... It was unfortunate that we couldnt see the Rhino...we were hoping for spotting it in Nghoroghoro but couldnt. Except for that disappointment, everything was great and well arranged. The Drivers were kind and well behaved. The packed lunch was filling and enough for the tiring drive day. There was enough water in the jeep. The vehicle was comfortable for the terrain we are driving through. The sights of sunset and landscape was a great experience. The vastness of the Serengeti is unfathommable! It was truely an African experience! Thank you ZAFS for giving us the best taste of Africa! It was a real creation of the National Geographic channel images all through!
I had booked for a Air Balloon Flight too in Serengeti which was a mind blowing experience and bucket list item! The morning flight and we could spot many animals too! The pilot was experienced and keeping us entertained all through and made us feel very comfortable and the breakfast thereafter with a celebrating champagne was an awesome treat!

Incredible Experience with ZAFS, highly recommend them for your Tanzania Trip!
We did a 12 nights day trip that included across 6 nights in North & Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park; 2 nights in transit (Dar Es Salam and Arusha) and 4 nights in Zanzibar. The experience was very comfortable from the first interaction itself - Huzeifa made time over multiple calls to understand our expectations and then help plan the trip; instead of sending us a templatised itinerary and force fitting our plans around it. He never really tried to “sell” us anything, except maybe the fact that Tanzania will blow our mind, and blow it did :) . He never pushed anything and was flexible to even let us manage our own hotel accommodation when we didn’t like any of the options he sent. While we were apprehensive about how the whole safari experience would be, the trip was super comfortable - the accommodations were great, our driver Kefa was fantastic (do ask for him if you’re planning a trip!) and the safari vehicle was absolutely top notch. The ZAFS team was very accommodative of our requests (leaving late or early, but mostly coming back late; food requests, etc.) and took extra care to ensure each aspect of the trip worked like clockwork. We even had Huzeifa himself check-in on us almost every day to ensure everything was going all right, even when we were on our own in Zanzibar. Our pick ups were always on time and all the people we interacted were warm and very friendly. Overall, very impressed with the level of service from the team and will highly recommend planning a safari with them. I’m definitely going back to Tanzania with them, this time with my whole family!

Just excellent, totally professional with a super human touch
A relatively new company in the tours and trek operating space, ZAFS tours have carved a niche branding and service quality. The limited space of tourism and trekking has many competing companies, but ZAFS stands out way above all of these.
I had the start my interaction with this team even before I left India to tanzania; we 5 of us had plan A for the trekking of Kilimanjaro and Plan B of Sarangeti. As we arrived at Kili airport, we could feel the attitude of the people and the difference it was making to our overall presence so comfortable.
The kili trek and its organising was so amazing, even though all trekkers feft the difficulty of completing the summit, the ZAFS support and help made us speechless, their professionalism combined with human touch is truly amazing, my total solutes to them.

Best Safari experience with Zaf Tour
We engaged Zaf Tours for our African Safari experience and it was the best decision we made for our trip to Tanzania! We were taken care of, right from the time we landed and till we took off. They are experienced and serve their promises. We enjoyed a whole lot in Tanzania and will definitely recommend Zaf tours to everyone! If you are planning to book your tours with them, look no further :) We also went for the Materuni waterfall and coffee tour with them and the guides and vibes were the best!! Thank you for giving us such a good experience!
