Tanzania is so beautiful But Jiwe adventures exceeded all our expectations
My husband and I enjoyed a 9 day safari around Tanzania with Jiwe adventures with Kent as our guide, and if I could give a higher review than excellent, I would. From booking to pick up through drop off, the entire experience was higher level class. Kent has an encyclopedic knowledge of birds, animals and flora, including behaviors and habitats, which is my joy. He taught us so much about the wildlife of Tanzania, but also about the culture and people, which is very important to us when traveling. Our lunches, even in the Savannah and in the Migration, included tablecloths and wine and hot meals eaten around a portable table set up, versus boxed lunches, a memorable and very classy and appreciated touch. The tent camps were beautiful and well stocked with great food and lovely and comfortable accommodations.
My husband benefited greatly from Kent’s shared love of wildlife photography, so they were able to share tips and Kent could always find the best spots for angle and light. The photos are amazing as a result. An added benefit was Kent’s years of experience, which showed in finding the animals, knowing the routes, and having great communication and relationships with his colleagues to best share information for the benefit of all of the tourists. In general, Kent was laid back and engaging at once, able to read us immediately and figure out our pace and preferences from the outset. His driving (a vital part of the journey, as many of the roads were difficult to pass), was competent, confident and careful, allowing us to relax knowing we were in great hands.
Overall, Kent and Jiwe adventures went above and beyond to give us the most incredible experience in Tanzania. I would and will recommend them to everyone. Thank you!

Scenic Views of Ngorongoro crater
We did a day trip to the Ngorongoro crater and wished we could have stayed longer. The scenery was incredible, the crater is huge and filled with a lot of wildlife. We say 4 of the big 5 animals, although the rhino's were further away and wished we could have seen them closer. The transport was comfortable and we were able to have the roof open to see the animals. Unfortunately the rain came and the animals scattered. Muhammad, our driver was very accommodating, helping us find all the animals and stopping to let us watch them.

Awesome
Everything was amazing. We did 8 day safari Serengeti/ Ngorongoro. We had the best guide Nicky (Nickson), he was amazing, went above and beyond to see the amazing Leopard/cheetah and all the other wildlife. I would highly recommend Nicky as a guide. I can’t wait to go back!

Memorable experience!
Safari organiser( Bestday Safaris) and guide ( Joseph) was great.
I feel, I got what expected.
Even weather was not so good.
Rainy season was already starting,
but we could see so many beautiful and exciting animals in 3 days safari.
Accomadation was fine and food as well. Highly recommended!

A trully unique experience
checked first with 3 different safari tours for 8 days safari trip before choosing Zohar. Lilian was incredibly efficient in planning our tour from the day of arrival to the day of departure, with all the details you can think of, straight from the start. She was very attentional, checking on us every time if everything is meeting our expectations. The logistics, the accommodation where we stopped by in our tour were all beyond expectations (except for Ndutu Heritage camp , but it was acceptable for just one night). The lunch provided was warm and not in boxes like for most other travelers with other tour providers. David was our driver , a knowledgeable person, a pleasant companion and a skilled driver, paying attention to all the details, patient with us when we wanted to stop longer to take more pictures, excellent in finding animal spots. He was blessed by a new baby boy while he was with us on the trip and yet he was still committed to our trip until the moment he dropped us off in the airport.
The experience in Tarangire , Ndutu , Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater was simply unique and indescribable . The passion for wild animals is shared within my family , but seeing them alive was breathtaking, especially at 'zero distance'. it was so vibrantly real yet so unbelievable at the same time.
we were in the car everyday from 7:15am until 6:30pm and never felt the time passing by. despite the many hours the ride was very comfortable.
We loved our trip from A to Z including the local people we met . Overall Zohar tour was beyond expectations and i strongly recommend them to any adventure lovers. Be aware , it gets really dusty on the road , every day because of the off road drive. So make your plans for extra clothes. We were fortunate to spend 2 successive nights in one of the camp so we managed to do laundry. Otherwise , we were short of changes. Binoculars , and DLSRs with high zoom lenses are a must. If you can afford or rent telephoto lenses (minimum 300mm) , it is best. Some animals like leopards and Rhinos were very difficult to spot and very far from road tracks, this is when your gears make a difference. I'm lucky to travel with my family to many different places and to live different travel experiences, but this Safari is my best travel souvenir ever.

It was an experience like no other, thrilling and beautiful
The wildlife in Tanzania is amazing. We booked with Tanzania ROadside Expeditions and Paul was very helpful through out the planning and answering any questions we had. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 and got to see many animals up close. The accommodations were great, especially the tented camps. Being able to wake up and see the animals right outside or hear the lions roar at night is something you do not see or hear in other places. Unfortunately it started to rain when we were there so the roads in the parks were very muddy and were not able to go to all parts of the park we would have liked to go but, we cannot complain, it was incredible. Our guide Justin, aka JJ, was the best! He arranged our day so we would be able to see eveyrthing we wanted to see and also relax when we could since we were on our honeymoon. He knows so much of the animals and has an incredible eye. Since the grass was high, it was sometimes hard to spot the animals and he would see a leaf moving and knew something was there! He made our trip much better! It was the first time we were doing a safari and I really recommend Tanzania, you get to experience the whole thing and it will be an unforgettable trip.
