Incredible trekking adventure to Kilimanjaro and safari across Tanzania thanks to this local company
Incredible adventure and experience thanks to Zanzi Trekking and Safaris. We contacted them to do the Kilimanjaro trek via the Machame route and also to go on a safari. It's the perfect choice if you want to support a genuine local company.
For the trekking, we couldn't have asked for a better team to achieve it. Justin was our guide, an amazing person with deep cultural knowledge, great conversation skills, and who made the trek more enjoyable. His mountain experience was crucial; without him and his assistant Nestory, we couldn't have reached the summit, as they understand altitude needs perfectly and provide the necessary advice to keep going and ensure safety if needed.
The adventure was a team effort. Besides the guides, Steven the chef provided everything we needed to stay energized, and the meals were delicious. Every time we arrived at camp, everything was prepared thanks to the porters (kilifighters) Dominic, Peter, Lazaro, Kelvin, Kelvin II, and Dula. They took care of everything, allowing us to focus on the experience.
It's not just a trekking experience but also an opportunity to meet locals and learn about their lives, enriching culturally and personally throughout the journey.
We also enjoyed a private safari, tailored to our preferences and requests. We visited the main national parks, guided by Ruben in a safari jeep with a open roof for perfect wildlife viewing. Ruben was an excellent guide, ensuring our safety, communicating with other drivers to spot every animal. It was unforgettable. Abu, the chef, accompanied us during our three days camping in the Serengeti.
In summary, Zanzi Trekking and Safaris is a fantastic option if you're looking to climb Kilimanjaro and experience a safari in Tanzania, all while supporting a local business and its workers and families. Thanks to Honest, the owner, for organizing this unforgettable journey.

Amazing Safari Experience
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we were picked up until the end of our journey, every detail was meticulously planned and executed.
Ruben, the guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and ecosystems. His expertise not only ensured we saw the Big Five but also taught us about the behaviors and habitats of countless other species. His enthusiasm was infectious, making each game drive exciting and educational.
The accommodations were superb, offering a perfect blend of comfort and wilderness. We stayed in beautifully appointed lodges that provided stunning views, excellent service, and delicious food. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to our every need.
One of the highlights was the diversity of landscapes we explored, from vast savannahs to lush forests. Each location offered unique wildlife sightings and breathtaking scenery. The sunrise and sunset game drives were magical, providing the perfect lighting for photography and unforgettable moments.
Safety was a top priority throughout the trip, and we felt secure and well taken care of at all times.
I highly recommend Zanzi Trekking and Safaris for anyone seeking a top-tier safari experience. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first adventure, they will exceed your expectations. I can't wait to return and create more memories with them!

Epic Adventure on Kilimanjaro with Justin as a guide and His Incredible Team
If you're dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro, look no further than Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, with Justin as a guide and his exceptional team! My recent trek was nothing short of extraordinary, filled with breathtaking views, challenging hikes, and unforgettable camaraderie.
From the moment we met Justin, it was clear we were in the best hands. His passion for the mountain and deep knowledge of the terrain shone through every briefing and step we took. Justin's infectious enthusiasm kept our spirits high, even when the altitude challenged us.
The team was phenomenal. Every guide, porter, and cook contributed to making this journey special. Their support, encouragement, and seamless teamwork were inspiring. The food was incredible too, how they managed to create such delicious meals on the mountain remains a mystery!🤤
Each day brought new landscapes and adventures. From the lush rainforests to the stark beauty of the alpine desert, the ever-changing scenery kept us captivated. Summit night was the ultimate test of endurance and willpower. But with Justin's guidance and the team's unwavering support, we reached Uhuru Peak at sunrise, a moment of pure triumph and awe.🗻💓
If you're looking for the best Kilimanjaro experience, Justin and his team are unparalleled. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care turned a challenging trek into an epic adventure. Highly recommend this incredible team for anyone ready to take on the Roof of Africa!🇹🇿😉

fantastic 8-day safari trip in Tanzania and Kenya
Thanks Zanzi! Honest and his team planned an excellent itinerary for us. We participated in an 8-day, 7-night Safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania. Our guide was very professional, sincere, and knowledgeable, showing us a multitude of animals and imparting their knowledge about them. The vehicles were well-maintained, clean, and comfortable to ride in. The accommodation arrangements were superb; for a budget tour, being able to provide private bathrooms and even staying in a lodge was truly great value for money! Honest was meticulous and attentive throughout, ensuring that everyone’s needs were met and making us feel very cared for. Many thanks to Honest, Jeff, and Ruben for their hard work, which allowed us to have an amazing East African adventure! We’re already considering coming back for a mountain climbing experience next time!
