What people love about Wildlife Tours in Tanzania
- 11 Days Tanzania Wildlife Cultural Safari*
We highly recommend Zara Tours, we had an amazing time with Tarimo our guide for our private 6 day safari tour Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He was very knowledgeable about all the places that we visited and great company. He made sure that we saw almost all of the animals in their natural habitats including all the big 5. We took up all our accommodations from Zara properties and they are simply amazing! We had an amazing time in Tanzania with Zara Tours and they are highly recommended

Very good! Best guide in the world Tom!
Unforgettable Safari & Zanzibar Adventure! This trip was beyond incredible! From spotting the Big 5 in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara to witnessing the Great Migration, every moment felt surreal. Our guide, Medison, was amazing—his experience made the trip seamless.
