Do not choose Global adventure safaris and do not trust to Edward Wilson Laiser
We have had a very bad experience with that company.
In Dec 2015 we contacted the company for a Machame route and 2 days safari for August 2016 and prepaid our safari tour based on their offer and invoice. In May 2016 we paid for another one person based on another invoice. So far, so good but the problems started in July 2016.
We informed Edward that one of the boys broke his leg and could not travel. It was 32days prior arrival and according to the company cancellation policy, he should give us 90% refund. Nevertheless he proposed 40% refund and said that they had changed their cancellation policy meanwhile. We have not received any refund yet.
In Aug 2016, 4 days prior our arrival in Tanzania, he informed us that we should pay an additional amount of 650USD and 250USD VAT, 900USD in total per person if we want to continue with our safari. His explanation was that we were included in a group with another 3 persons for the same tour package, for the same dates and they cancelled their trip the previous day.
During all that period we haven’t been informed that we were part of a group, what will be the price if the group collapse and what will be our options in that case. For me this provider offers safaris with misleading information with the purpose of fraud. The provider (if it is a real company) asked for an additional money in the last moment and rely on no chance of reaction from customer side.
After all our protests that he changed the initially approved condition in the last moment and that we didn’t know that we were part from a group, he promised to refund the full amount for 2 persons and 40% for the 3-rd person in 10-15 days. Now, 55 days later, we haven’t received anything.
Do not choose this fraud company, they will take your money and do not execute the promised safari.
Global Adventure Safari is a fraud company
Please do not go with these guys. These guys are thugs and liars. They promised me 8 days Serengati trip and charged 1500 USD. First they put me in a cheapest of hotels in Arusha , organised one of the stupidest of tours and worst they wanted me to do 2 x 4 days trips which meant I was to do all the road journey twice. All of the other travellers who travelled with me from other tour operators paid 450 USD for the same trip.
Thanks

attention scam edward wilson
“attention scam!!!
edward wilson from the glogal adventure safari did not return to us 250$,
we ( me and my wife) booked with Edward Wilson a package safari ( 4 days in serengeti ngongoro Lake manyara 640$ each) +kilimanjaro ( 2 days 250$ each).
after the end of safari edward delayed our kilimanjaro trekking of one day without asking it in advance to us. for us it was not possible to start the trekking with one day of delay as we had already bought the flight to Zanzibar.
at this point we tried to speak with him, call him and text and we finally met him (one day after the end of our safari). He refunded us 250$ on that day telling us that he was going to return the remaining 250$ the week after.
we then tried to contact him plenty of times called texted him but no reply was received and his phone was off.
no return of 250 was given!!

be careful don't choose this liar company
I booked a 5days safari with this company. Until the first day, they told me that the safari was postponed to the second day which means my tour had to be shorten to 4days! Then the last day, they made me miss my flight and only buy me a new bus ticket instead of a flight ticket! They don't give me the refund for the missing Day of the safari because they said they accommodate me for the missed flight and the bus ticket is the compensation! Do you think if it is accapable? It's their fault that I missed one day safari and my flight, then they mix the problems to skip the compensation!
Edward Wilson, the owner used the old trick to steal money from the clients. If you are rich and don't care contribute money to this company, please choose Global Adventure Safaris!
