An amazing photography Safari in Kenya & Tanzania
We booked 14 days photography safari with World Safari Land Tours through their Agent in dubai and indeed its was the best option choice we made, Calvin the director of the company offered agreat service from receiving us at the airport we knew that we were on the right hands after being briefed on how our safari will be handeld from Kenya to Tanzania .
Our friendly guides John and jacob were with high experience , from identifying all the animals and actually knowing the point routes where the animals were which made our photography for the big5 abit easy although we had some hard time spotting the leopard in Serengeti.
We had a very nice food and all the lodges calvin suggested were very clean and offering delicious meals.
I highly recommend this company the services they give are of high standard and very organised.

Professional and affordable
I contacted the world safari land (Calvin) to visit mara. i had only few days left but Calvin helped me a lot to manage all things like evisa and travel docs.
The three days I spent at mara were full of adventure and beautiful memories.I enjoyed seeing the lions, elephants,cheetahs,Zebra and many more animals and birds.The guide (Adrian) is a super super professional guy. He shared a lot of information with us during game drives.
I literally gad goosebumps all over.

All accommodations, food, experience driver and cooperative and supportive staff made my trip really memorable. So five stars from my side - special thanks to Calvin and Naomi. Looking forward to seeing u soon in Tanzania.

World Safari Land Tours! Great company, Wonderful people and wonderful safari !!
Everything went OK with our trip with World Safari Land Tours! On our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, we immediately saw the car from World Safari Land Tours was waiting for us. He drove us to our hotel. Next morning we had a short trip with the family - and we met our driver-guide Mike. Monday morning the car was present at the hotel and the safari could begin. We had booked a 6 days-safari with camping in tents. We had a wonderful time in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Mike is really a good driver and has very sharp eyes. He knows where the wild animals are and knows almost every name of the birds! The places to camp where all nice - Acacia was really good and the two campsites in full nature - especially in Ngorongoro - were fascinating. We had a very good cook (unfortunately I don't remember his name): every meal tastes good - especially the ginger in the food!
It was hard for us to say goodbye to Calvin(The director) who was one amazing and understanding person, Mike( the driver guide) and the cook.
Thank you so much World Safari Land Tours management, We sure will be back again for Kilimanjaro hike.
If you are thinking of a safari with World Safari Land Tours, just do it !! You’ll never regret.

Calvin and his team are very Honesty, Knowledgeable, Reliable, Hard Working and Trust worthy
We were a group of 4 people on a10 day trip. As photographers, Our target was to get some stunning images in the wild. The team of World Safari Land Tours did an excellent work showing us the best sightings and spots. They were very friendly and had good knowledge of the wild. I would for sure come again and again through this company. They are very much trust worthy to deal with. I wish them all the best and for sure would ask my friends and contacts to go through them.

Untrustworthy operator, you will not get what you were promised; STOLE my private Facebook pictures
Out of a 3-day Serengeti Safari, we disappointingly spent nearly 2 full days in transit due to delays caused by the operator and ended up in humid tents on a public campsite that was not fenced or protected against wild animals at night and offered 5 toilets for 50+ people. In contrast what we booked and were thus promised even in written format by Calvin Onkendi, the owner of World Safari Land Tours, was a protected campsite with fixed tents equipped with a bed as well as a private bathroom. It is fair to state that our budget was not extremely extensive, but it is unfair and unethical having been lied to and not having received a refund that was promised to us, clearly in retrospective to appease us in the very situation.
Additionally, I was extremely shocked to find out (by coincidence) that the named owner had stolen my private Facebook pictures, not only the ones from the Safari, but even pictures of myself at home or in different locations, and had published and used them without my permission, in one occasion even depicting me as his girlfriend // affair. This is something that has never happened to me, which is why I would like to warn against this tour operator - the business practices I have experienced are highly untrustworthy and the behavior of the owner is intolerable!!!
Reply from World Safari Land Tours
Posted on Nov 9, 2018As stated on your other two friends reviews, We tried to explain where the mistake came from !
Your Nigerian friend booked with us on budget camps ! We felt sorry for not consulting the whole group(due to lack of contacts ) to know what you all wanted despite that we followed what your group African trip leader requested from us and booked for you all.
Non of your personal picture was stolen! !,' Only the picture which we were all taken with hotel stuff was shared when you arrived in reception office which the director of the company was included .
So much touched unfortunately to hear your feed back as stated ! We are Sorry !
You were our client ! We give equal services to all our clients despite where they are from & who they are.
We at first point explained to your leader
who confirmed to us that you were students and you demanded a budget camping trip ! this was after we tried to make you her understand that your budget was a bit low to have any Mid-range safari with us other than public Camping.
Accepting our mistakes is the key, Then working on how to not repeat the same mistakes is now the crucial part .
Learning from mistakes and using the lesson for the better is all that needed.
But after the request which came from you,' stated that we should consider you as students ,we were not to ignore your request so we tried our best to make your Serengeti trip done on Budget camps which you really went on.
This came up as we never heard from both of you to know what was the interests from each other but unfortunately you were just represented by your leader and here is where the inconvenience came up from because we did as per her request to the group !
Honestly we went a head and promised this wont happen a gain and as a company we requested your apology !
We gave explanations how your budget was spent even after the leader asked to be given a discount of 20% with his partner for choosing our company (which we gave to her )so we never gained in any ways to be able to consider any refund but we gave free transfer to Airport and pick up you on your arrival was also free including picking you from your hotel and taking you back .All this was never counted on your whole trip dear madam/Sir
Kindly consider the mistake being taken on note and non of the upcoming clients will encounter it with us again,Recommend us friends and they will share you a life time experience when they get back from safari with us.
We will also welcome you back any soon to prove the mistake corrected !
Thank you so much & take care

Fantastic 1 Day safari to Ngorongoro crater
I chose to go on a 1 day safari to Ngorongoro crater in the last minute, through World Safari Land Tours. My experience with the managing director (Calvin) in coordinating the schedule was outstanding. He made every attempt to make the schedule work. The email responses were very prompt.
The safari itself was awesome and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Joshua was my guide, he is very experienced, friendly and knew his ways around at the crater!
There was no delay in the arrival/departure times. The lunch was good too and most importantly we were able to see most of the animals!!
I would definitely recommend World Safari Land Tours to anyone I know without a doubt!

Amazing 6 days in Tanzania(Tarangire, Manyara,Serengeti ,Ngorongoro crater)& 2 days in Kenya (Mara)
We were most impressed by Calvin, the director of World Safari Land Tours, He was most efficient and helpful, very patient when we needed to change many things on our itinerary as we were 8 people traveling from different locations but I was with my 4 kids too so we were 12 in total. He was prompt in replying to my emails and cannot commend him highly enough. He came to greet and receive us the day of our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport and again was there for our Kenya safari, He was most gracious.
Lastly, I have to add that everything went according to schedule without hiccups, not that we would have objected to some things going wrong, but they didn't and we were left with a wonderful memory of Tanzania and Kenya.
Expectations: the trip far exceeded our expectations, I went with my family and we found the experience magical and memorable. My kids said it's the most memorable holiday ever!!
Budget Price: We were satisfied with what we paid for at World Safari Land Tours, at first it sounded expensive for us! after checking with American owned company which honestly was asking a lot depending on our budget, then later we found WORLD SAFARI LAND TOURS quotation as the best for our Mid-range trip.
We had the best accommodations at The Sopa lodges, Acacia camps, and Kubu Kubu camps, with all having the best food and enough to everybody.
Serengeti was expensive compared to Masai Mara and other national parks but we had the best experience ever, which really meant the meaning of (Serengeti shall never die).
Our safari trucks: 4*4 Toyota land-cruiser open roofed, All were very comfortable and clean.
Safari tour: First I would like to thank our tour guides and Drivers Mike & Joshua, very exceptional drivers, very unassuming and pleasant. Extremely competent and knowledgeable. Very attentive without being overbearing, my family & group appreciated them a great deal and have wonderful memories of our safari, we did actually see all the animals described in the books plus more events on the way. They were always very patient and willing to do whatever it takes to give us a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much to the whole management of WORLD SAFARI LAND TOURS(We highly recommend them)

Spectacular safari,Very enthusiastic, thoughtful and knowledgeable about wildlife and nature
We were very excited and apprehensive to be going on our first safari through World Safari Land Tours Company (not knowing what to expect). From the moment we met World Safari Land Tours staff we knew we were in good hands. Our guide/driver, and Calvin the director, were waiting to pick us up from the Kilimanjaro Air port and attended to all of our needs/questions. We couldn't have asked for a better guide...Musa answered all our questions about the local history, safari animals, plants and landscape. As we spent more time with him, we really felt that he is a very genuine/kind person. Musa was very professional and an excellent driver. He is very experienced with tours and taking care of his clients. We especially enjoyed talking to him about his time taking clients up Kilimanjaro and hiking the Ngorongoro Highlands.
The accommodations were amazing...Sangaiwe Tented Lodge, Kati Kati Camp, and the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. We felt like kings staying at these locations.
Calvin Onkendi, the Director, and his stuff were also involved from the beginning and all the way to the end of our Tanzanian stay. We met them at the beginning of our trip for an orientation and also before we left Arusha to review our experience. World safari land tours company is committed to excellent service and the price suits your desires .
We would definitely recommend World Safari Land Tours to our friends and Travelers interested to visit East Africa

Life time experience, Breathtaking Safari in Kenya and Tanzania
I would highly recommend World safari land tours as a tour operator. The tour was booked through our travel agent in Australia and I had not researched the company before commencing the safari. Our driver guides were very experienced and knowledgeable and tailored the safari trips to suit our interests in both Kenya parks and the Tanzania parks/culture. Their knowledge of the landscape, animal and bird life and local culture made for a very informative and rewarding experience. Calvin(The manager) his management was perfect and always there to make things work.
The vehicle was safe and reliable and his driving skills made us feel safe. The whole tour was conducted in a very professional manner.
We will highly recommend World safari land tours to anyone traveling to Tanzania and East Africa
