“My 2022 safari with Zaita Tours was all about rare sightings. Their expert planning led us off the beaten path, where we encountered elusive creatures like black rhinos and pangolins. The thrill of these unexpected encounters is something I'll never forget.”

“And here I am in 2024, once again on safari with Zaita Tours. Their dedication to excellence remains constant.

“Tanzania adventure with Zaita Tours was unlike anything I'd ever done before. Climbing Kilimanjaro – the freaking roof of Africa! – was a bucket list dream, and Zaita Tours made it a reality. Their guides were these incredible mountain gurus, keeping me motivated (and hydrated!) every step of the way. Witnessing the sunrise from the summit, with the world stretched out beneath me, was pure magic. It was definitely a challenge, but Zaita Tours made it an unforgettable experience.”

“Went to Lake Natron for a weekend and it was wonderful! Such a unique and beautiful area that is "off the beaten path". Zaita Tours arranged everything for us (food, transport, lodging, a local Maasai guide...) we were even able to add an extra little excursion to see the Engare Sero hominid footprints! Would definitely recommend 🙂”

“From Arusha to Lake Natron. In December 2022 I was traveling with my mother in Tanzania. Since we had already heard a lot about the wonderful area around Lake Natron, we spontaneously decided to book a trip there. I love nature and have always wanted to experience flamingos in the wild. With the travel agency Zaita Tours and our two friendly and incredibly helpful guides Innocent and Eric, we found the ideal companions and got our money's worth! Two days of adventure with an overnight stay in a clean and comfortable lodge, a 3-course meal in the evening and various excursions with a Maasai guide to the surrounding area, such as Lake Natron at the foot of the Ol Doinyo Lengai mountain of God or to the wonderfully refreshing waterfall. We can only warmly recommend the tour with this travel agency, everything was just perfect! Again any time :)”
