- Climber6974370 contributionsTanzania Wildlife Cultural SafariWe are very happy that we decided on this trip. In total, the trip lasted 11 days and flew by in a flash. Too bad it didn't last longer. We visited Arusha National Park, Lake Manjara, Karatu area, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. The accommodation is very comfortable, clean, in very picturesque places, in very pleasant, beautiful gardens, with swimming pools in three places. We especially liked the comfort and safety, as well as the exceptional kindness of the staff. Special thanks to Mr. Leizer Masai, who took care of us in a nice way, very carefully, unobtrusively, at every moment of our stay in the hotels and in the camp. The meals were delicious, varied and nicely served, and the restaurants were very neat, clean, and tastefully furnished. The service was very professional, attentive and expert, ie very hospitable at all times. Our guide and driver, Mr. Attanas Simon, made our stay safe, as far as driving a Jeep in the parks is concerned, as well as very interesting and fun. Excellent and expert in finding animals and plant life of all kinds. He explained particularly impressively about the manner of their behavior in every respect. Very pleasant in company, dexterous and safe to drive, he constantly took care of our health and comfort. We saw many animals,birds, big five... We would like to thank the agency Zara Tours for the excellent organization of our trip, at all times, whether it was accommodation, food, transportation, and under the leadership of Mr. Attanas Simon. Thank you to the dear people, who welcomed us and led us to Iraqw people, Bushmen people, and Massai village people. Thanks for everything and goodbye. Branka and SreckoWritten September 23, 2023

- L1830BUjillc0 contributionsSingle day safari!We had the most wonderful safari experience. Lillian the organizer and Vincent our driver were so fantastic. They picked us up/dropped us off right at our hotel. We did a full day at the Akagera National park. The truck is very comfortable and many bathroom stops available. Little place to buy snacks and coffee on the way there, in the park and on the way home. We also did the boat tour add on and have no regrets! An unforgettable experience!Written May 29, 2023

I booked a very last minute 7 day trip with Neza Safari that included gorilla trekking, a visit to Lake Kivu, chimpanzee trekking at Nyungwe Park, and a safari at Akagera Park. Lillian did a wonderful job organizing everything. I was traveling with my elderly father, who unfortunately feel ill the first day. The team was very supportive throughout and although we missed a few activities, we were still able to continue our trip. Tito was a wonderful guide, very kind and patient. My only recommendation would be for the team to communicate dietary restrictions with the lodges. As someone that only eats halal, the lodges we stayed at didn’t offer zabiha halal options, so I was limited to the fish and vegetarian dishes. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend booking with them!

Our travel planner was so helpful in planning our family trip to Rwanda February 2020 And perhaps even more helpful when we decided to cut our vacation short and return to as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Hopefully we will be able to finish our trip in the jungle someday! Muyumbu Campsite was a beautiful place with a lot to do, excellent places for kids to play, it was amazing. Our travel planner worked with us to set up the perfect combination of organized trips and the travelers choice days. We enjoyed getting to know the locals and loved the vibe. Definitely will be back and use this travel company, when we do.... indeed they are great advisors.

The whole process from the booking to the trip itself was very professional and pleasant. Friendly team too. My husband and I had an awesome experience there. I would definitely recommend Neza Safaris Africa for family vacation or couple retreat as well. The gorilla tracking in the Volcanoes was a discovery for me. Lots of fun. We'll surely be back again.

I can't recommend Neza Safaris enough for anyone planning a trip to Rwanda. Whether you are looking to plan a safari/trek or just need shuttle service, Neza should be your first and only option. Lillian and Lucky are 5 Star!
Being stranded in the Kenya Airport due to flight delays, Lillian at Neza was up until after midnight helping troubleshoot and reschedule my gorilla trek, which she did successfully! Not transactional, genuine customer service! Lucky was the best driver, knows the history of Rwanda and proud of the vision the country has.

Waking up very early in the morning just to have a glimpse of these amazing animals was the best feeling ever!!
Tip: if you plan on visiting Rwanda, don't forget to pack your hiking boots otherwise you'll be in for a bumpy ride.
