- I3519RUsarahs0 contributionsGreat experienceA friend of mine highly recommended this tour with Zazu, which she had already done several years ago. And yesterday and the day before, I had the pleasure of discovering Hell's Gate, Naivasha Lake and Cresent Island, followed by the hike to the top of Mount Olongonote! The tour was magical, full of discoveries and beauties, including animals. The driver and guides were very professional and friendly. Any problems were solved very quickly with the manager, who made it a point of honour to ensure that my two-day tour went off without a hitch! My hotel room was also very good. I also recommend this tour with my eyes closed!Written August 28, 2024
- cebu19670 contributionsPrivate Day Tour of Lakes Nakuru and NaivashaWe had an amazing time on our day trip to Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. It was just unfortunate that the Flamingos migrate during this time and so we only saw a few. Lunch at the lodge inside the park I think was way overpriced but the views were great. But the highlight of the trip was at Lake Naivasha were you pay extra and they take you on a canoe ride to a walking safari. You can walk with Rothschild giraffes, and get close to other animals like Zebra, wildebeest, etc. No predators though. Our guide Chris was wonderful and will definitely recommend him. And thank you Damaris (from Zazu Safari Ventures) for booking this trip last minute. A wonderful prelude to our 8 day Kenya-Tanzania safari.Written August 26, 2024
- cebu19670 contributionsGreat Safari - Kenya to TanzaniaOur 8 day Safari from Kenya to Tanzania was a wonderful experience. Our guides Nathan (Kenya) and Moses (Tanzania) were wonderful people and very knowledgeable. I can’t recommend them enough. The lodges we stayed at were great and the folks working there were very nice people. I would not change anything. Working with Zazu on booking this tour was seamless and Damaris was very responsive all the way through. We booked this trip a year ago. I surely will recommend Zazu to our friends. This was our first trip to Africa and we will be back for sure.Written August 26, 2024

We went on a 5 day safari with Joel and he was an amazing guide! He knew how to spot the wildlife and because of that, we were able to experience the trip of a lifetime! Joel was very informative and also very patient with us while taking pictures or wanting to stop and see something. He kept saying that this is “our” vacation and he did whatever he could for us to make it a truly wonderful vacation. I highly recommend him!!!

Great tour operator, amazing guide Nathan!
Zazu was a reliable fairly priced tour operator that I would strongly recommend to others.
Nathan our guide and driver was top notch and amazing all around. Great hospitality and customer service, he knows all the spots and knows all the little tricks to spot wildlife. His eyesight is incredible too. I didn't realize how a great guide can make or break a safari and Nathan really delivered. Request for him if you book with Zazu.

Amazing time with Joel!!
Go for it with eyes closed :)
We had such a good time, everything was well planned and Joel was super keen on answering our questions about kenyan life and animals we were seeing.
We honestly couldn’t have dreamed better and wish everyone to witness the scenery.
