Excellent conversation during planning the trip . Fast reply and taken our request positively. Great guides during the climb and safari. Not good food for a vegetarian option during climbing, mostly vegetable and too litte protein for dinner. Great team during the climb. Problem with leaking tents already at day 2 resulting in wet sleeping bags and other equipment, so those need to be replaced! Otherwise amazing guides and the whole team made it possible to reach the peak despite long walking hours. Great guide during the safari with enormous knowledge about the wildlife. Fantastic accomodation in serengeti and Higview coffe lodge! The worst accomodation was in Moshi with rooms with problems with the elctricity and shower. Will never stay there again! terrible buffet for lunch and dinner compared to Highview coffe lodge. Great staff in Moshi hotel but noone helped with the luggage upon arrival from safari or the moutain when you are exausted.

Okay, I am sorry in advance because we have so much to say about this trip, BUT I will try to be short :)) Briefly - We did a group 6 days Lemosho tour and it was just perfect from A to Z. Big Thanks to Jane (travel consultant) who was dealing with us all the way and organised our trip so perfectly! We had a few complications from our side which was sorted out in such easy-going manner. Moving to airport pick up, transportation and our stay at the hotel. As soon as we stepped out of immigration our driver was waiting for us, with the open hands to take care of our bags. Zubaida (hotel receptionist) made us feel like home with her super friendly and fun approach and attention to details. Furthermore, all the hotel and restaurant staff didn’t remove the smile from our faces. And now THE MAIN PART about our trip to Kilimajiaro itself! Talking to other people at the camp, we can surely say that we had the best guide Yesse and his team to lead us! Our chef Julias made our “3 times a day” so tasty, perfectly adjusted to our dietary preference with such variety every day. Our waiter Albert went out of his way to make us as comfortable and happy as possible. Our porters Izidor, Aimidiwe, Jonatha, Jackson, Frank and Julias delivered our bags with such care, and we had a few fragile things inside. Saving the best for last, to highlight THE IRREPLACABLE PART of our experience - Yesse with assistance of God Living who were not only our best guides but also leaders, mentors, motivators and life coaches at the same time. I know it might sound as an exaggeration but it is true. They not only did their job in perfection, which is to lead and assist with any problems that might occur on the way, BUT they found that individual approach to keep our mind and heart strong, not neglecting a pure enjoyment through this physically and mentally tough climb up. Thank to Yesse and Godliving we found out so many interesting facts and stories about the surroundings. Getting to know our love for music, Yesse even managed to get a mini speaker to turn our challenging days into fun. Whatever concerns and challenges we had, they were the first ones to assist us without us even asking - starting from equipment shortage to mental support and encouragement. Thanks to Zara, this trip has been as enjoyable and pleasant as it could possibly be!

I highly recommend Zara Tours for either a Kilimanjaro trek or a safari. We did the 8 day Lemosho route on Kili and all 4 of us summited. Our guides were excellent- very knowledgeable, caring, and a lot of fun. The equipment was excellent and our personal gear was well-cared for. Our safari experience was wonderful and the accommodations were awesome.

Good experience with best service

Dear Mama Zainab at Zara, I, my sister and brother in law, have just returned from a 15 day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with the first week on safari staying at High View Lodge at Karatu and Ikoma Wild Camp in the Serengeti National Park and then at the Sultan Sands Hotel on Zanzibar. The whole holiday was a wonderful experience from start to finish and we were very impressed with the standard of service from Africa Safari, Zara Tours and Zenith Tours. We found all the staff we came into contact with extremely friendly and helpful, while one or two people really stood out for us. The first was Peter Damasi Winja who was our guide for the safari in the first week. Our party was teamed up with two Swedish women and Peter was both an excellent guide and driver. He went out of his way to enable us to see the maximum possible number of animals and his knowledge and experience was greatly appreciated. He didn’t put any pressure on us in terms of timekeeping and in fact, we seemed to be the last truck to arrive back to base each day. In addition, he helped the whole group with the taking of the most fabulous photographs. He worked incredibly hard throughout the week for which he deserves special recognition. The second person was Good Luck Isaac Meoli who was not our guide but he transported us from Kilimanjaro Airport to High View on the first day and we met up with him several times throughout the week. He was always very friendly and helpful for which we were very grateful. Thank you very much. Karen Gleave

La ascensión al Kilimanjaro, ruta Lemosho, ha sido maravillosa, con éxito gracias a John Kaswende y su equipo, buena organización, estrategia, nos quedamos con el mejor recuerdo. Felicidades, gracias a John, Félix e Ibraim.

Very good organized event managing company. The employees are very friendly and do a good Job. I would take zaratours again at net occasion.

This was the second time did a trip with Zara Tours in Tanzania. The service by the team is superb on all aspects from booking, payment, transfers, vehicles, accommodations, professional guides and pretty much everything else is second to none. Our safari guide Tarimo was awesome, led us to variety of wild animals and beautiful landscapes in Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw all the big 5, large cats and the rare wild dogs. Overall amazing!
