My girlfriend and I travelled to Tanzania on April 2023 and we’d like to share our experience with future travellers.
We booked a mid-range safari tour with a company called Safari by Z. We reached out to other companies but Safari by Z was the best option in terms of both price and benefit.
Also, the staff from the office (Gladness) always replied promptly throughout the booking process and provided clear information about the safari.
Our driver-guide Fadhili did his best effort in all aspects to make the safari experience as best as he could. When we were in the national parks, he was all the time looking to spot animals and in constant communication with other drivers. Last but not least, Fadhili is a friendly, easygoing and amusing guy.
The accommodation was exceptional, the food was delicious and the customer service was outstanding.
Overall, I would recommend Safari by Z with Fadhili as a driver of course to anyone that is looking to live a unique experience in East Africa.
Amazing trip!!! We enjoyed every moment!! Our first time on Safari had 3 great days visiting Lake Mayanara, Tarangire, and our favourite the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater...wish we had more time!
We were a little apprehensive about travelling during the "long rains" season but we were not disappointed...the big plus there are less crowds in low season. We saw many animals and managed to see 4 of the "big five'". Our driver / guide, Lemomo was very welcoming and knowledgeable...and patient with our time keeping!! Already thinking about coming for longer next time and visiting the Sarengeti.
The people of Tanzania are welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay memorable.
Asante sana!!!
After a lovely week on Zbar at Z Hotel me and the wife quite impulsively booked a 4 day safari via Happy at Safari by Z booking. She was a great help in arranging everything. We compared it with quite a three other tour operators on safaribookings.com, but Safari by Z delivered a tailor made safari package to a lower cost than the other options. I am very glad we went with Z. We have been on safaris in SA, Kenya and Tanzania before, so we have plenty of previous experience to compare the Z experience with. They flew us directly to Seronera in the middle of Serengeti, as requested, and we made our way back through N'dutu with the great migration, and ended up at Ngorongoro. We saw 2 week old lion cubs and a cheetah hunting down a fresh kill, as well as everything else we hoped for. All this is mainly due to our excellent safari guide Fadhili. He knows everything there is to know on the savannah. In addition he seems to know everyone on the savannah as well, and everyone knows and likes Fadhili. I can see why everyone likes him. He is knowledgeable, polite, trustworthy, funny and an excellent driver and guide. After a short week with him I am proud to call him a friend. And he drives the Safari by Z Landrover Defender. Going on a safari is not cheap, nor should it be. But If you decide to go, go with Fadi and Z, and be the kings and queens of the savannah in your own Defender expertly guided by Fadhili.
Fadhili was an absolutely excellent guide and driver. He was able to see things that our untrained eye would never have found and his knowledge and experience allowed us to get the most out of our safari. He was also extremely patient and drove carefully, never rushing. We also had many many good laughs together with Fadhili.
All of the planning and accommodation on the safari was excellent. We were particularly very happy to stay at the Pamoja Farm Lodge, with its beautiful garden, excellent food and very kind and helpful staff.
We had five unforgettable safari days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Manyara National Parks. Ngorongoro crater was absolutely magic with the unique nature and all the animals. We very much liked the Tarangire National Park with it stunning landscape and large herds of elephants.
Safari By Z really exceeded our expectations. Everything was very well planned. We will definitely be using Safari By Z on our next adventure in Tanzania … together with Fadhili!
We had the best experience ever with Safari by Z! Lemomo was our driver and he was just the best! He had endless knowledge of the Maasai people and all the animals! We had so many questions and he answered them all. We had such a nice time spending time together over our 5 day Safari. We visited Terangeri, Ngorongoro and Serengeti while we were here and saw all the animals! Lions, elephants, cheetah, rhino, hippo, leopard, zebra, etc! All the lodges were amazing, the staff were all so kind. Sleeping in the wilderness is an unforgettable and unmatched experience. They all also had running hot water, comfortable beds, lighting, everything you would need! It was amazing! They really make you feel at home. The only thing we wished we brought was more clothes or school supplies for all the villages and schools we passed on the way! Next time! The jeep was also so comfortable, we loved standing and looking out the roof and we had endless soda (diet woohoo!) and cold water available. The lunches from the camps and all the food was so good and we were never hungry! The best experience ever, highly recommend !! 🤍 we can’t wait to come back
Best vacation experiance ever!! I would recomend it to everyone. We were 2 families, two cars, two drivers - Lemomo and Isajah. Best match we could get. We felt specially taking care of.
We were on safari for 4 days, 3 diferent parks - Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Every park, diferent experiance. It vas amasizing to see the animals in their natural habitat. There were so many animals, So elegant. So fascinating.
We got to see the BIg 5. Lemomo and Isajah took care of that.
Lemomo and Isajah treeted us with kindness, respect, professionality! They explaned us ewerything on the way. About the landscape, animals, people, country, coulture. They knew to answer any questions we had.
They were also so kind, to take us to dinner to local restorant the first night we arrived in Arusha. Befor we even got to know each other.
The cars were top. Counfortable. Very much space. We had also wifi in it. That was a big plus for us. We had inaff cool drinks - water, Sprite, Cola..
The whole safari vas wery good organised. The accomodations, the gamedrives. When ever we wanted to see something, buy something... they stoped for us, helpt it.
They made the timeplan for the next day together with us. So we really felt included in any decision, ewery step.
