EXCELLENTVerified Great organization, great team, great safari Our honeymoon was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!It began with a smooth and professional booking process over email with Lilian, who helped us craft a personalized safari, including a selection of incredible luxury camps and lodges. A few days before our departure, we were added to a WhatsApp group where we could connect with our guide Solomon and the Zohar team, ask questions, and receive all the key details for our trip. This form of communication made us feel so reassured and well-prepared.From the airport pick-up to every moment on safari, right up until our drop-off, the trip was filled with thoughtful, tailored surprises! We’ve never experienced this level of attention on any vacation before.Solomon, our guide and driver, was exceptionally knowledgeable and took wonderful care of us, guiding us to see an incredible range of wildlife, including the Big Five. We always felt secure and delighted to be in such great company with him.We couldn’t recommend a safari with Zohar more – it was an absolutely perfect journey and worth every moment!Verified Once in a lifetime trip with Zohar African Safaris Overall we had a once in a lifetime trip on honeymoon ❤️It all started with a very professionell booking process directly via email with Lilian. She helped us to customize our safari and planned us the perfect trip with many special and luxury camps and lodges. A few days before we were added in a WhatsApp group chat to meet our guide Solomon and all other representatives from Sohar to ask any questions and to get all important information before the trip. We really loved this kind of communication because we always felt in good hands.From the airport pickup to the safari and until the airport drop off, the trip was full of little customized surprises! We never had such a special treatment on vacation 🥰Solomon our Guide and Driver is very experienced! He always took care of us and showed us so many animals (incl big5) on our trip. We always felt safe and we were so happy to be in such a good company with Solomon! We can highly recommend a safari with Zohar! It was the perfect trip and totally worth it.Verified Amazing Travel Experience The staff was conscientious and careful to help us coordinate our lodging options. The guide Solomon is professional and guided us to a rare sighting of hyenas hunting zebras. The homemade salad was well received by the group.Zohar is a trustworthy tour operator that you can choose with confidence! I will also recommend it to my friends.Verified Great experience! Definitely recommended. Exceeded all expectations. Counselling during planning phase was very helpful, the trip went very smooth without any complications. We could enjoy our safari to the fullest. And most important, we were able to see everything that Tanzania's wildlife can offer, including lion cubs, a baby leopard and even a baby rhino. We were also lucky to witness the migration of wildebeest through the Mara river. Our guide Tom worked very hard to get us to see al this and was very knowledgeable. He knew when to be where! Definitely recommended as well.Verified Dream come true I have dreamed about this trip my entire life and I could not be happier with the outcome! From the beginning Lilian was very attentive and listened to all our requests. She came up with an itinerary that fulfilled all of our requests.Once we arrived, it was effortless, the entire Zohar team was available to us to help us with any issues or questions we had.I don’t know about other companies or guides, but Solomon is amazing!!! He got us to all the animals we wanted to see and then some! I just don’t have enough words to describe how good he is! Not only can he find the animals, he knows them all and can lecture on the biology of each species!!I hope life gives me the chance to repeat this experience, if it does, I will definitely be calling them again.Thank you for making this dream a reality!!Verified Zohar-Just plain awesome Zohar is a boutique safari company so you get personalized service. From the start of planning to the finish, communication was great and the owner is so kind and helpful. The accommodations were awesome, better than I expected. And the food was great. There was hot food provided in a very classy way, even when out in the bush on the safari. There were even some wonderful cultural experiences to break up the game viewing. I couldn’t imagine a better experience, so look no further.Verified Top level guides and customer service…book without hesitation! When planning my safari, I reached out to several operators. Anyone who has planned a safari knows that not all options are created equal, and finding the right fit can be tricky. I can 100% recommend booking with Zohar!! Please don’t hesitate. Their customer service was fantastic from start to finish. Jackline and Lilian helped us create a custom itinerary for my husband and young adult son, handling all our preferences (and questions upon questions!) smoothly. Once we settled on our plans, they sent us detailed documents, including packing lists and trip tips, and the payment process was easy.Our itinerary was perfect. We decided to skip the great migration and explore a more compact area instead, and we were really happy with that choice. We visited Tarangire NP, Ndutu, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Natron/Ol Doinyo Lengai. We had a combination of lodges and tented camps. David, our guide and driver, was amazing!!! He made our safari truly memorable by finding unique and personal wildlife encounters. Of course, he isn’t a magician, sometimes it’s luck, but his instincts and professional wildlife education surely helped. In Ndutu, we saw a group of elephants of varying ages playing in a water pool, which was one of the most joyful experiences of our trip. In the Serengeti, we were lucky to spot three elusive rhinos. And in the Ngorongoro Crater, we witnessed an incredible scene with a hyena, its kill, and a lion—all interacting in organized chaos. David’s expertise ensured we saw every animal we hoped for, and many more. On safari, seeing animals is a given, but the real thrill is in the stories behind each sighting. Sometimes it’s surprising and exciting, other times it’s intense and fascinating. Every encounter is unique! I never once felt unsafe with David behind the wheel. His navigation and driving skills are impressive!David also went above and beyond by helping other safari guides and drivers. Whether it was getting vehicles started or unstuck, David was always ready to lend a hand, showing his genuine care and professionalism. I was so proud to have him as our driver. After the safari, we had a week in Zanzibar, which I booked myself, but Lillian was still there to offer advice and check in until we got home. The support from Zohar made everything feel seamless and safe. Skip the hassle of sifting through countless safari operators and just choose Zohar—they’re fantastic! They weren’t the cheapest or the most expensive option we considered, but the value was spot-on. While I might not get another chance to return, I’d definitely book with them again if I do. A big thank you to Lilian, David, Jackline, and the whole Zohar team!Verified Thank you Zohar team for an Unforgettable Experience Going on a real African safari has been on my bucket list for decades. So, when we finally decided to go ahead with it, I spent a very long time searching for the best possible travel experience contacting and comparing many different companies. Zohar stood out from day one, initially thanks to how both Jacqueline at first and later on Lilian communicated with me. I had a million questions which were always answered promptly and with a lot of patience (as I do tend to go into a lot of detail 😊). This reassured me. Lilian adapted the itinerary to our wishes and did her utmost best to stay within the budget we had fixed for this trip. For every day of the tour, she proposed a selection of lodges to choose from. We just came back yesterday from our 12 day vacation in Tanzania. The first 6 days were fully organized by Zohar after which we spent 5 nights in Zanzibar. Upon arrival, when we stepped out of the airport our safari guide (Solomon) was there waiting for us. When we got to the car we were presented with refreshing towels and fresh fruit juice. We also received water bottles with our names on to use during the safari.As we arrived late at night, we had scheduled to take a day to relax and leave on safari on day 2. Both Lilian and Solomon took out time to come and see us in our lodge to give more detailed information and useful tips to make our safari experience as good as possible. I was very happy to be able to meet Lilian in person after having communicated with her by email for so long.Over the next 4 days we visited Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro National Parks and we also made a cultural village visit (Mto Wa Mbu) and an authentic Masai cultural visit. Solomon was with us every step of the way. He is extremely knowledgeable about nature, animals, local culture and was able to spot the wild life from miles away. He is also a very good and safe driver. We were truly impressed.Our first game drive (Tarangire) happened to be on my birthday. I never mentioned this but somehow when we arrived at our lodge late afternoon, there was an ice bucket with a bottle of champagne with my name on the label and a card from Zoha waiting for me in our room. As if that was not enough, I also received a birthday cake + sing and dance after dinner by the staff of the lodge.All along the 6 days Lilian and her team stayed in touch with us through a WhatsApp group that she created a few weeks before our departure. Before our departure Rachel was in touch with us through the group to share valuable tips on what to know and pack for the trip.We spent our last night not too far from the airport to catch an early flight to Zanzibar the following morning. I really appreciate that Lilian took out time (on a Sunday) to come on see us personally to say goodbye even though she just returned from a very long drive and was really tired.Conclusion: I never experienced this level of customer service and personal attention anywhere in my life. I have travelled a lot over the years (personal and professional) so I am quite qualified to compare. We will book with Zohar again for sur and I advise anybody reading this review to do the same, you will not regret it.Verified Tanzania Great Migration & Big 5 - Bucket list✅ ✅ Top of my bucket wish list was to follow the great migration, particularly the Mara River crossing, and seeing the big 5 in the wild. My son and I recently returned from Tanzania after being guided by Solomon from Zohar African Safaris. Solomon certainly knows his trade, and he answered the many questions fired at him with detail and authority. He is Incredibly knowledgeable not just about all wildlife animals, but also on birds and trees. Solo is clearly a huge lover of the great outdoors, particularly anything around wildlife. Our personalised agenda took us from a fantastic day in Tarangire National Park, up through Central to North Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. There were too many extra special awesome memories to list, but include very close encounters with adult and baby lions, mother & baby cheetahs (including the mother jumping on our jeep for a better viewpoint), elephants protecting babies, giraffes fighting, wildebeest, zebras & buffalo galore. It was more challenging finding leopards and black Rhino, but Solomon didn't disappoint with two sightings of leopard including one with babies, just a beautiful sight to behold, and several Black Rhino sightings in Ngorongoro Crater. It was such a great pleasure learning from Solomon and generally getting to know him as a person, whom we now consider to be our friend. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Zohar African Safaris to anyone, safari novices like us or seasoned regulars. We successfully achieved our mission, seeing several spectacular Mara River crossings and the big 5, I really couldn't ask or wish for more.Zohar also worked into our incredible 7 day itinerary an early morning hot air balloon experience, which was simply stunning and an absolute must-do on your itinerary. Our sincerest thanks to Lilian for putting together a totally bespoke and very personalised itinerary, including the 6 different camps/lodges, each offering something very unique but always with warm welcomes from such happy friendly porters, staff & chefs, pretty much faultless in my humble opinion. The overall experience far exceeded our hopes and expectations, and particularly Solomon the legend, we will be back for another safari with Zohar soon.Verified a dream turned reality Wow, where do I start…My Dad and I began our tailor made dream safari journey by being picked up by the lovely Zohar reps at the airport and taken to a lovely spot to have refreshments (all pre made by the Zohar chefs and each meal was fantastic and fresh.)This set the president for the rest of the trip, no stone unturned, every single thing was thought through from start to finish..water and snacks always available in the truck, meals to our preference and all of our requirements constantly met.Our safari guide for the trip was a gentleman named Solomon (aka Solo the legend) and my oh my does he live up to the title. His knowledge and understanding of everyone animal, plant, tree, insect (literally any living thing) and every single landscape we came across was just incredible, there was no question he didn’t know the answer to and he made sure to always give us all relavent information to where we were. As well as being an excellent highly skilled safari guide he is also a lovely, kind and caring soul; on the day of the migration it was my girlfriends birthday (who wasn’t on the safari) and I didn’t have wifi so whilst out in the bush he let me use his hotspot to send her a message which saved me a lot of stress! He also shared personal stories with us when we ate dinner together in the evenings which was lovely. I would definitely consider Solomon a friend now after this trip!I honestly cannot wait to return and have another adventure with Zohar..the sooner the better!
