About the tour

Our 3 day safari offers amazing game viewing opportunities at three superb National Parks, each one unique in its own way. The Ngorongoro Crater is world famous for its vast array of wildlife contained within a relatively small area. The crater offers travellers the best chance of seeing all the Big 5 in a single day! Tarangire National Park is home to the largest elephant population on the planet as well as hundreds of different bird species. Lake Manyara boasts a huge colony of baboons as well as unusual tree climbing lions. You will have exclusive use of a ZAFS TOURS 4×4 safari vehicle and an expert guide who will show you the best locations to spot the wildlife. With our experienced driver guides, it will be a trip of a lifetime!

Highlights

  • See the 'Big Five' at the Ngorongoro Crater

Day 01 :
ARRIVAL

You’ll need to organize their own flights to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). From JRO we will arrange a private transfer to your hotel in Arusha. That night or early the next morning you will meet your local ZAFS representative and have a full briefing.

1 hour
1 :
LAKE MANYARA

You will be met by your guide and vehicle and driven to Lake Manyara, arriving with plenty of time for an afternoon game-drive. Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its large alkaline soda lake which is home to the pink flamingo, yellow-billed stork and heron. If you are lucky, you may get chance to see the tree climbing lions and leopards, which are unique to this national park. Watch out though for some fun and antics from the local baboon population; Lake Manyara is believed to have the largest number of these primates in the World!

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
2 :
NGORONGORO CRATER

After an early breakfast, you will drive to the fascinating wildlife arena of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a “must see” safari destination. Home to more than 25,000 large mammals – it is not unusual to see all of the ‘Big Five’ (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and leopard) in a single day. The crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is over 260km2 (100 miles2) and was formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself 2 – 3 million years ago. It is now the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and often referred to as “Africa’s Eden”. Driving through the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will arrive at the crater rim and then descend down 610m (2000 feet) onto its’ floor to start your safari extravaganza.

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
3 :
TARANGIRE – ARUSHA/KIA

A must for avid birdwatchers, boasting over 550 different bird species, the most diverse in Africa, including the Kori Bustard, the heaviest flying bird in the World! The Tarangire River runs through the park attracting a huge number of elephants, buffalo, giraffe and antelope, particularly in the dry season between June to October. It is not uncommon to see large herds of elephants roaming through Tarangire’s savannah grasses or taking shade under the odd looking “upside down trees” (baobab) that are dotted around the park. Following a morning game-drive you will transfer to your hotel in Arusha or to Kilimanjaro Airport.

Breakfast, Lunch

Kilimanjaro trek We have booked Kilimanjaro trek for August. Starting from the initial stage, the support they have provided is really great, they made sure to check our gears and suggested the missing ones. Guides were extraordinary, cant thank them enough for making our trek successful. I would highly recommend them for Kilimanjaro. Even they have suggested for a day trip to Chemka hot springs and they have managed all of these very professionally.

Wonderful Experience Did my first ever high altitude trek at Kilimanjaro with the help of ZAFS tourism. Needless to say, the guides and the porters were very helpful and supportive. Every team member was polite and humble . Enjoyed the entire trip and would gladly recommend them to anyone who are willing to trek the kilimanjaro... Their hospitality extended even beyond the reaches of kilimanjaro and helped us in accomodation and commutations. Had a really good time and brought back many memories. Thanks ZAFS!

Friendly, personalised & professional service What an experience! Our 7 day Kilimanjaro trek with ZAFS Tours is something we'll never forget. As a locally owned and operated company, ZAFS gave us personalised service and attention every step of the way. Huzeifa made sure we had all the information well before our trip and was available to answer our many questions about what to pack and the various logistics. Any gear we didn't have we were able to hire in Moshi - which saved us buying it. On the mountain, the support crew (including 3 guides, a cook and 19 porters) were exceptional. They ensured we had everything we needed every day - from coffee delivered to our tent in the morning, to nutritious meals, and even filling our hot water bottles at night. They really set us up for success on the summit. We honestly feel so lucky to have chosen ZAFS to organise our trek and to have had the team we did while on the mountain. For anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek, I have no hesitation in recommending ZAFS.

Brilliant experience with ZAFS. Highly recommend them for your Tanzania Trip! We did a 12 nights day trip that included across 6 nights in North & Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park; 2 nights in transit (Dar Es Salam and Arusha) and 4 nights in Zanzibar. The experience was very comfortable from the first interaction itself - Huzeifa made time over multiple calls to understand our expectations and then help plan the trip; instead of sending us a templatised itinerary and force fitting our plans around it. He never really tried to “sell” us anything, except maybe the fact that Tanzania will blow our mind, and blow it did :) . He never pushed anything and was flexible to even let us manage our own hotel accommodation when we didn’t like any of the options he sent. While we were apprehensive about how the whole safari experience would be, the trip was super comfortable - the accommodations were great, our driver Kefa was fantastic (do ask for him if you’re planning a trip!) and the safari vehicle was absolutely top notch. The ZAFS team was very accommodative of our requests (leaving late or early, but mostly coming back late; food requests, etc.) and took extra care to ensure each aspect of the trip worked like clockwork. We even had Huzeifa himself check-in on us almost every day to ensure everything was going all right, even when we were on our own in Zanzibar. Our pick ups were always on time and all the people we interacted were warm and very friendly. Overall, very impressed with the level of service from the team and will highly recommend planning a safari with them. I’m definitely going back to Tanzania with them, this time with my whole family!

PRIVATE CLIMB MOUNT KILIMANJARO 5DAYS 4NIGHTS I private climbed Mount Kilimanjaro 5days 4nights via Marangu Route, everything was provided by ZAFS TOUR. why did I choose ZAFS? Because ZAFS is a tour operator who already has an Outdoor Shop, the name of the shop is GILMANS OUTDOOR. so for many climbing rental needs I only do 1 door and coordinate with the guide, and of course the price is cheaper but the facilities are very good. The staff were all very communicative and made my trip enjoyable. never be afraid to choose a private climb, I have experienced it and it is a lifetime experience that will not be forgotten. greetings from Indonesia!😊

Best Safari with Zaf Tours! We engaged Zaf Tours for our African Safari experience and it was the best decision we made for our trip to Tanzania! We were taken care of, right from the time we landed and till we took off. They are experienced and serve their promises. We enjoyed a whole lot in Tanzania and will definitely recommend Zaf tours to everyone! If you are planning to book your tours with them, look no further :) We also went for the Materuni waterfall and coffee tour with them and the guides and vibes were the best!! Thank you for giving us such a good experience!

Kilimanjaro through the Machame route Zafs Tours provided an exceptional experience for climbing Kilimanjaro through the Machame route. From start to finish, the guides, Adrian and Albert, along with the porters, kitchen staff, and other staff members, demonstrated a high level of friendliness and professionalism. Throughout the journey, Adrian and Albert proved to be knowledgeable and experienced guides. They provided clear instructions, ensured the safety of the group, and offered valuable insights about the mountain and its surroundings. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in making the climb a success. The porters and kitchen staff were also remarkable. They carried heavy loads, set up campsites, and prepared delicious meals that fueled our energy for the challenging ascent. Their hard work and dedication were evident, and they always had a smile on their faces, creating a positive and supportive atmosphere. The entire team at Zafs Tours was committed to ensuring a successful climb. They were attentive to our needs, provided necessary equipment, and constantly checked on our well-being. Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. Thanks to the expertise and support of Zafs Tours, we were able to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro. The feeling of accomplishment and awe as we stood at the highest point in Africa was indescribable. It was a testament to the excellent planning, organization, and teamwork of Zafs Tours. Overall, our experience with Zafs Tours was exceptional. The friendliness, professionalism, and expertise of the guides, porters, kitchen staff, and other staff members made the climb memorable and enjoyable. We highly recommend Zafs Tours for anyone considering climbing Kilimanjaro.
