We had an incredible time on our Kilimanjaro trek. We could not have done it without the support we received from our guides and porters and we are extremely grateful for everything they did for us from carrying our bags and setting up our tents, to cooking the most nutritious and delicious food for us. Everyone was so friendly and genuinely caring. Although I didn’t make it to the summit due to altitude sickness, my husband did and I am looking forward to returning next year for attempt number 2!

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!
