Amazing
I contacted yellow zebra safaris who I found through social media this was our first safari and a special birthday therefore I spent a lot of time researching I'm so glad I contacted YZ my contact was Weis who was very knowledgeable and from the start after a phone call he got exactly what we wanted and planned the perfect safari and beach holiday for us. Every detail was perfect we stayed in amazing lodges, saw an abundance of wildlife, including the big 5. It was a holiday of a lifetime and we had the time of our life. I cannot recommend YZ enough they go above and beyond and look forward to arranging my next safari with them.

The Best
Yellow Zebra is a first class agent for African safaris. We engaged YZ more than a year in advance of our safari trip to Tanzania. I found them via a Google search and then selected them after reading many reviews and speaking with an agent. As an agency, they performed superbly throughout the planning process and then in the plan/itinerary they developed. After asking a few questions, our advisor, Kirsten Woolley, developed two options to meet our budget requirements. We selected one. For over a year, she was patient answering questions and waiting for us to respond to her inquiries, candid in the opinions and information she shared and extremely helpful in all matters of planning our trip. Her follow-ups were great and quite informative. We couldn't have asked for a better agent, itinerary, and arrangements during the trip. They gave us the exact itinerary we hoped for! They provided a top notch firm, Nomad Tanzania, as the tour guide. A month before our trip, an incident occurred involving the TZ government imposing a new VAT on tours. After several discussions with the agency owner, we were able to resolve the issue to our satisfaction. They listened, were very approachable and friendly, and took care of our needs all the way through. I would highly, highly recommend this agency for your next safari.

Knowledgable, Helpful, Responsive and Warm!
We are rather seasoned travelers, but have never been to Africa, let alone on Safari. We needed a relatively short Safari program during the busiest tourist season. Kirsten Wolley, our advisor, was wonderfully informed about options, listened closely to our requirements, and found us a fantastic experience at the Rhino Ridge park in Kwa Zulu. Everything from our financial to scheduling needs, our touring and food preferences, to travel insurance were promptly and well handled. And we had one of the best experiences of our lives, effortlessly!

Fantastic safari tour company that really listens to your requests
I found YZS through an internet search and am glad i did.
I sent a brief email explaining what my wife and I were planning (we wanted to safari in Tanzania and see the migration on a restricted budget!) and within 45 mins Julian - director of YZS, had called me back to discuss further.
He was very pleasant and massively informed on Tanzania. He gave me a run down on his personal history and I knew then that I could leave the planning of our holiday to him and be confident that all our requirements would be met.
He offered 2 suggestions - one South Tanzania and one North and it wasn't hard to decide when he explained what both would involve and the costs involved.
To describe the holiday briefly does it an injustice however it does demonstrate how personally Julian takes planning your holiday.
We had had a few days in Kenya attending a friends wedding and then headed to Tanzania where we spent 7 days - 5 of which were on Safari with YZS.
We were picked up in Arusha by our tour company - WAYO africa. Danford was our guide and he was brilliant. WAYO's ethos is that your safari is your private holiday and therefore my wife and I were on the jeep on our own.
We set off and our first port of call was Lake Manyara. - Amazing. Baboons, Girraffes, Zebras, Hippos, Elephants and buffalo ( amongst others all on the first day)
We then headed on to and stayed the night in a tented lodge called Rhotia Valley. Our only regret is we didn't spend longer than one night here.
Our next day was spent in the Ngorogoro Crater. - Stunning. Here we saw the animals as above but also Rhinos. Danford again sharing his vast knowledge with us.
That evening was spent in Rhino lodge on the ourskirts of the crater.
We then moved onto the Serengetti. We spent 4 days 3 nights travelling round the Serengetti and saw the 'Big 5'.
The camp provided by WAYO was outstanding.
As i say, a very brief summary of our holiday organised by Yellow Zebra Safaris but they certainly made our holiday that of a lifetime by using their local knowledge, contacts and by listening to their clients needs and wants.
I can not recommend Yellow Zebra Safaris highly enough and will absolutely book with them should we or any family members be heading back to Tanzania at any point.
