Excellent!
A very kind and professional team. We went 2 people with a crew of nine. Always looking after us with a smile. They listen to our questions and fixed how we wanted. Very good food everyday. Can’t understand how they can fix starter, hotmeal and fruits every day. Even breakfast was porrige, egg, vegetables, mango, pineapple ond so on. They also choosed good places on the side for the camp. Not so crowded snd buzzy. And they were quiet when we needed to sleep. Other campgroups were more noisey. I will recommend you this agenyfor their tranparancy for costs and opurtunity for arrange the trip we wanted. We go for Kili, safari and zanzi total 19 days. You can not find that in other bigger companies.

Best service, felt like family!
Had the most amazing time on Kilimanjaro with Zanzi. It was just me and a team of 4 porters, 1 guide and 1 chef. They did such a great job making me feel good every day. The food was amazing, I even felt like I was glamping in stead of camping. The team is wonderful and so is the mountain. My guide Charles could tell me all about nature, animals and of course Kilimanjaro. Learned a lot and had the best time climbing the highest peak in Africa. Thank you Zanzi!

Passionate and dedicated team on budget gear and conditions
Zanzi Trekking offered the best price for the 7 day Lemosho hike that I could find. On top of that, they offered by far the best customer support pre-booking, responding always under a couple hours, with detailed info, a lot of care and empathy, and they were even kind enough to offer us sleeping bags free of charge. I went with just one more friend, and we had the privilege of having a lot of attention from 2 guides and a team of 6 porters and one cook. Everyone in the team was experienced abd committed to making our ascend a success, and they were always driven to find quick solutions to problems. Due to the nature of the mountain and it's climb, surprises are bound to happen (e.g. related to the weather). Being a budget hike, don't expect anything fancy - however, the amenities and services are sufficient, and will throw most hikers outside of the comfort zone at times, which truly contributes to the feeling of accomplishment when reaching the top. The guides were instrumental in helping us reach the summit, as well as descending from it - in our case, since there was a heavy snowfall the night before the final push, there was lots of slippery ice when coming down. Our guides helped me throughout 2 hours, literally giving me their hand/shoulders to support me.
I won't lie, there were some structural things that could be improved, and we made a couple of recommendations in the end - the main one being the quality of the tent, which sometimes had it's zipper jammed and was not completely water proof. However, our team was always quick to find solutions, so in reality we didn't have any problems, just a bit of anxiety at times. For that reason my rating is a 4. But for certain people, those moments actually make up the best stories. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't experienced in camping or haven't done other hikes - except that, this experience will for sure be unforgettable!

Highly recommend this company they were great. Only good things to say.
Zanzi Trekking and Safaris was amazing! Justin and David were great guides and were very helpful and kind all throughout our climbs of both Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro. They were very motivating and felt more like friends because of how personable they were from eating with us to talking with us as we were hiking. The rest of the team was also wonderful. Calvin, Dominick, Lazaro, Preygod, Tumaini, Elisha, Matayo, and the chef were always on time and we could not have done it without them. I highly recommend this company!

An unforgettable trip
In January, we went on budget ascents of Mt. Meru (3 day) and Kilimanjaro (5 day, Marangu). Thanks to Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, all four in our party successfully made it to both summits. Our experience with Zanzi exceeded all expectations. Our guide Justin was deeply knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. The food was good and plentiful: imagine fresh mango or pizza at 15,000+ feet! When we were still sore from Meru and a little under-the-weather, Honest accommodatingly allowed us to delay our Kilimanjaro trek, and to switch to a different route (free of charge!). The support staff (shout-outs to Calvin, Expendable, Dominick, and assistant guide David) were also excellent. If you’re thinking of climbing Meru or Kili, Zanzi will not disappoint!

Highly Recommended! Superb Tour Guide
We had a great experience with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris tour. Overall journey was smooth and the accomodations are well provided. Mr Honest, the local tour operator always ensured our safety despite we are quite worry initially. During game drive our tour guide also always ensured we had the best spot to capture the animals in a close up view. He is a good animal tracker!
They too provided us a great ride to Arusha supermarket. Love it so much! I would say that Zanzi Trekking and Safari tour gave us an amazing experience and definitely will revisit again;)

Highly recommended! Don't miss it!
We are so glad that we chose Zanzi Trekking and Safari Tour as our travel company for our 10 days and 8 nights tour in Kenya and Tanzania. The company exceeded our expectations in every way. From the first day to the eighth day, the manager, Honest, and our guides ensured that our journey was smooth, safe, and enjoyable. Honest also helped us coordinate the airport pickup driver to make our travel experience more seamless. The guides in Kenya and Tanzania were excellent and they made sure we had a memorable game drive experience and always found the best locations for us to take close-up photos of the wildlife. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well prepared, and the meals provided were also very good. We were also provided with plenty of cold water to ensure that we stayed hydrated throughout the day's tour. At the end of the tour, Honest even made a point to visit us and even visited the hotel to make sure everything went well. We were surprised to learn that we were his first Malaysian customers! He also kindly took us to the nearby supermarket and souvenir shop for us to do some quick shopping before the driver came to pick us up back at Nairobi Airport. We are so grateful to Zanzi Trekking and Safari Tour for providing us with such an unforgettable first travel experience in Africa. I highly recommend their services and will definitely choose them again on our next African adventure!

Amazing safari
Very professional, guide Omar very kind and attentive. He did his best to find the animals and show them to us. Was very patient. Honest the manager was also very friendly and comes to your hotel before and after your safari to give a briefing and make sure everything is ok. The guide is very punctual. I recommend!!
