Can someone tell me what website Zara uses? I see there is a a zara.co.tz and also a zaratours.com are they the same company?

I am looking to add Mt Meru and a safari to my climb. What is the danger for Mt Meru as I see you need an armed Ranger I don't really feel like getting eaten.

Is there any difference between going with Zara directly compared to doing going with a western company that uses them? Ultimate Kilimanjaro for example. Is it always worth just going with Zara directly?

Here is a link to my review for what it's worth.

When I went I used the first website you listed.

I am climbing with Zara in February. Have been pretty happy with my contacts thus far. Scott
