    A huge thank you to Zara Tours and our amazing guide Kitale for an unforgettable trip in Tanzania. Communication was smooth, and Kitale made sure we were comfortable and saw all the wildlife we hoped for. The itinerary, including Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, was perfectly planned. The luxury accommodations, like the Serengeti Wildebeest Camp, were fantastic. Highly recommend Zara Tours and Kitale as your guide!

    We had Jovin as our driver for Serengeti and Ngorogoro. We met up with 5 additional people for our game drives. Safety was a consideration throughout our tours. We were able to view many different animals in close proximity. This has been an absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommend Serengeti African Tours
