What people love about Wildlife Tours in Tanzania
- 6 Days Tanzania Wildlife Encounters
When you are in Australia and you want to plan a photo safari in Africa, you want a local person to talk to. You want this person to be knowledgeable, attentive to your wishes and needs, and reactive. Frank is all that. And when you are over there, you want the people taking care of you to be professional, ready to satisfy your specific demands (I'm an amateur photographer) and friendly. My driver/guide Donath was all that. So I'm completely satisfy with this agency and I strongly recommend it.
- 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
Had an amazing trip with Charles. very accommodating, reliable, flexible and knowledgeable! Fabulous photos!

The Serengeti draws visitors for the Great Migration where more than 2 million wildebeest and zebras move across the plains. Ngorongoro Crater serves as home to roughly 30000 animals including black rhinos. In Tarangire visitors can expect to see large elephant herds among ancient baobab trees.
