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!

Our time with World Adventure Tours was amazing. Our guides Issa and John were super supportive and kept us safe the whole time along with the rest of the team of incredible porters and a chef who kept us very well fed with his incredible creations , all done with a couple of pans and a stove. We couldn't have asked for more, and would recommend this trip to anyone looking to successfully climb Kili.
