Everything went smoothly
We just spent 7 absolutely amazing days in Northern Tanzania with David Nanyaro as guide and driver. Zara Tors and especially David have my warmest recommendations. Everything went smoothly, and David was a great, friendly, funny, reliable and very knowledgable guide. We didn't have to worry about anything - we could just concentrate on taking in all the amazing animal encounterings, we were lucky to have.

A Truly Unforgettable Safari
Just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to you and World Adventure Tours for the most INCREDIBLE trip we have ever been on. We have just got back from our safari trip and it was one we will remember for the rest of our lives. From the very beginning with pick up and the hotels and service at the hotels- it was fantastic. I am so glad i ended up booking the hot air balloon experience too, was a spectacular morning. An absolutely phenomenal experience especially staying at the Safari Lodge in the Serengeti. What a surreal feeling! My most special heartfelt thank you goes to Regan Kimario, our driver for the 4 days. What a legend of a gentleman! His service and mannerism was impeccable from the very beginning all the way to the end. He is a real credit to the company! Our safari was everything and more than we could have imagined and it was all because of him. He kept his vehicle clean everyday, he was patient (despite 3 flat tires in 4 days he was still smiling!), he was extremely knowledgeable with the animals, info on the country, life in general and such a lovely man to spend our days with and get to know. We were able to enjoy hot lunches on our safari days and not just cold sandwiches because he carried his tupperware and hot tub flasks. We realised how lucky we were when I saw other tourist eat sandwiches pretty much everyday. His experience in the industry was evident throughout the days we spent with him during the game drives and the long drives through Tanzania travelling from different National Parks and most importantly we always felt safe. My only constructive feedback to management is that Regan absolutely deserves an upgrade in his vehicle which matches his expertise! He takes great care and pride in his job as a driver and guide so only right that he has the vehicle to portray this and gets to deliver in style! I'm not entirely sure who Regan is employed by whether it's World Adventure tours or Zara Tours, whoever it is I would really appreciate if this feedback about him is passed on to the Managing Directors of the company as I truly believe credit is due when absolutely deserved and he deserves exactly this. We were just customers for Regan but for us he is someone we are so thankful to have met and will remember for the rest of our lives. Many thanks again for helping us book a trip of a lifetime. We have already passed on World Adventure Tours details to friends and family in the UK.
Great experience
We had a wonderful Safari with Zara tours. Our guide was very experienced and explained a lot. Also we saw many different animals and all of the big 5. Accommodations were very comfortable. All in all I can highly recommend this tour!
Tanzania – 4 national parks
We booked a safari in Tanzania – 4 national parks, with Tour Compass. At the airport, we were met by guide Hoza, from Zara Tours, which is Tour Compass’ partner in Tanzania. We had 6 action-packed days with incredible experiences, where we got up close to the animals. Hoza did his best to make sure we were comfortable, generously sharing his knowledge of animals, nature, and Tanzania. It’s helpful to be prepared for many hours in the car, on sometimes dusty and bumpy roads. This is part of the charm of the trip. We are left with immense gratitude for everything we experienced on this journey.

Our guide
Our guide - Yesse team was excellent — very professional and attentive. When we passed the Kissing Rock, they put their own lives on the line to protect our safety. With the limited resources they had, they went above and beyond to provide us with the best possible service. We showed our deepest gratitude by giving them the highest tips.

Unforgettable Mountain Adventure in Tanzania
We had an absolutely incredible experience climbing one of Africa’s highest mountains with Zara Adventure. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, safe, and enjoyable. A very special thanks goes to our amazing guide, Sylvester, whose knowledge, encouragement, and leadership made this adventure possible. His dedication and positive spirit motivated us every step of the way. We also want to thank the entire staff for their warm smiles, friendly attitude, and excellent service. Their happiness and hospitality made us feel truly welcome and turned this trip into something we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Zara Adventure to anyone looking for a professional, well-run, and unforgettable adventure!

Amazing 6 days Safari
6 days fantastic safari is just finished, with our guide/driver Jorl. He did a great job to try to show us big five, and all other animals in Senegetti, with big respekt for the animals and safe driving. Our accommedation on Safari, 4 days on Highview hotel and x 2 days on Ikoma Wild camp was great with friendly staff and good food. Only thing we didnt like was the picnic lunch. 3xdays with cold Rice and cold meat.

It’s like a factory
It’s like a factory. Very hard to get the guide to make any changes to a set program that seems designed for the convenience of the outfitter and not the client
