Beware, you get what you pay for
First and foremost if you are looking for the economy version of a safari then WS Safari may be for you. Also be prepared for older Land Rovers, unexpected changes, and uniformed guides. Moses states the vehicles are well maintained and up to date which is far from the truth. Also Moses cares more about making money then customer satisfaction. He added 2 more people mid trip which made the small Land Rover we were in cramped. We were told to be at breakfast by 6am to get an early start but our guide wasp er an hour late due to picking up more guests. No one told us what was going on. Constantly there was a major lack of communication between clients and the safari company. Our guide who was nice but lacked information about parks and wildlife. He also misidentified several species of birds. More often than not the guests spotted the wildlife and had to ask to stop. On the final day we stopped at a tourist junk store and were told that another car would pick 4 of us up. This wasn't a problem but we were never told of this change. Overall we saw wildlife and if you are trying to do a safari on a budget then go for it. But Beware, you get what you pay for!

Capable and reactive
Despite a big hole in our tent roof, services provided by WS Safari (one week Kili ascent, Machame route) were professional and satisfactory. 11 crew personnel for two, including an excellent cook and a proficient as well as dedicated guide.

WS Safaris provided a safe, nice and priceworthy arrangement for the hike of my lifetime.
WS Safaris mobilised a service team staffed with competent, service minded, skilled, nice and helpful people. They took good care of our group from arrival at the Kilimanjaro Airport until departure one week later. They provided everything needed for the tour on Kilimanjaro, including good catering and water. The camping equipment was not the fanciest compared to other, more expensive, companies, but it was fully acceptable considering the price. WS Safaris also demonstrated credibility and fairness when calculating the final payment.
Wonderful Adventure!
My daughter and I just returned from the adventure of a lifetime. Our experienced, friendly guide, Charles, anticipated our needs and made every effort to enhance our journey. His superb driving as well as his ability to spot game and photo opportunities was exemplary. Our cook, Freddie, served delicious food and even taught my daughter how to make his wonderful pancakes. Our trip exceeded our expectations and we will certainly book our next trip with WS safaris!

Happy travels!! - fantastic safari experience through the Serengeti/Tarangire/Ngorongoro Crater
The entire experience, from start to finish, was incredible!! I'd recommend WS Safari without reservation. Of course you'll see all the amazing animals along the way but it really enhances the trip to have a wonderful guide along the way. Charles, our guide, was just that! He made the trip all the more memorable. Our cook, Freddie, did a lovely job as well! Communication with the tour operator was easy - Moses was reliable and always quick to respond. Next time I return, I'll certainly be using this company again and would definitely request the same guide!

Best service and best price for the best African safari
Moses is one of the best person i see in travel industry. His commitment and service is up to the expectation. we really enjoy the safari through WS safari.
5 day climb of Kili
My wife and I went with our guide John and his crew up the Umbwe route. It was beautiful, and definitely a physical challenge. John and his team provided us shelter, meals each day, and transported almost all our gear up the mountain. We also paid extra for our own private toilet which was definitely worth it! We thought the team did a wonderful job and would definitely use them again!
