A Legacy of Adventure and Excellence
For over three decades, Zara Tours has been at the forefront of African tourism, setting the standard for exceptional safari experiences and Kilimanjaro expeditions. As the founder and CEO of Zara Tours Tanzania, I take great pride in our journey—from a humble beginning in 1986 to becoming the No.1 Kilimanjaro outfitter and a leader in safari operations.
My vision has always been clear: to provide travelers with authentic, world-class experiences that showcase Tanzania’s unparalleled beauty, culture, and wildlife. From the iconic plains of the Serengeti to the breathtaking heights of Mount Kilimanjaro, Zara Tours is committed to delivering unforgettable adventures while upholding responsible and sustainable tourism.
Climbing Higher: The Kilimanjaro Experience
There is no greater achievement than standing on the Roof of Africa—Mount Kilimanjaro. Over the years, Zara Tours has guided thousands of climbers from all over the world to Uhuru Peak, ensuring they experience the magic, challenge, and triumph that come with conquering Africa’s highest mountain.
We pride ourselves on our expert guides, high-quality equipment, and carefully curated routes, ensuring safety and success for all our clients. Our commitment to ethical trekking practices, fair wages for porters, and eco-friendly operations has earned us numerous accolades and the trust of the global travel community.
Beyond Safaris: Expanding the Zara Brand
Tanzania’s tourism industry extends beyond just climbing mountains. To offer a holistic travel experience, Zara Tours has expanded its operations to include:
Luxury and Budget Safaris in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and beyond.
Zanzibar Beach Holidays, providing a perfect blend of relaxation and cultural exploration.
Cultural Tourism Programs, allowing travelers to engage with and learn from Tanzania’s diverse communities.
Exclusive Accommodations under the Zara Properties umbrella, including 7 Wildcamps and 2 boutique hotels, ensuring our guests experience comfort and authenticity.
Giving Back: The Heart of Zara Charity
Success in tourism comes with a responsibility to give back. In 2009, I established Zara Charity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering marginalized communities in Tanzania. Our initiatives focus on:
Providing scholarships and school supplies for underprivileged children.
Supporting women and youth empowerment through vocational training.
Conservation efforts, including the Zara Foundation for Ecosystem Preservation, which advocates for the protection of Tanzania’s natural resources, land, and marine biodiversity.
Through these initiatives, we aim to ensure that tourism not only benefits travelers but also uplifts local communities and protects Tanzania’s natural heritage for generations to come.
The Future of Zara Tours
As we look ahead, my goal remains the same: to continuously innovate and enhance the African travel experience while upholding sustainability and community engagement. The future of tourism is about more than just exploration; it’s about responsibility, conservation, and making a difference.
I invite you to join us on this journey—whether you’re planning your dream safari, climbing Kilimanjaro, or supporting our charity initiatives. Together, we can create meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact on both travelers and local communities.
Welcome to the Zara experience—where adventure meets purpose.
