Brilliant Safari Experience
Me and two friends of mine booked the safari in May 2016 for a 4 days/three nights tour. Richard was super nice and he organized for us a fantastic tour. Our Driver Stanlay was super nice and professional. The food during the journay was very good! We were able to see all the animals we were supposed to see during the tour. Nothing has gone wrong and everything was excellent!

An Outstanding Once in a Lifetime Experience
I am very pleased with the 3 nights safari I did with this company. We spent two nights in the Serengeti at a campsite and one night at the Ngorongoro Crater campsite. The weather was good and by lunch of the first day we had already seen the big 4 that one can see in Serengeti. We managed to see lions multiple times and the others at least twice up close. Our guide was the best as well as our cook. We really got along well and I was inspired by how they served us. Our guide was so so knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions in sufficient detail. He is also a great driver who got us from place to place safely and used his communication equipment effectively to link with other drivers so we could get to certain spots to see different animals - simply fabulous. Our cook outdid himself - even in the bush and made some pretty tasty meals that stood out more than many others I had had while travelling in the region. It was really great. Our group had good chemistry and we got along well as old friends would have.
Richard, the owner was very professional and friendly. I like how smoothly everything flowed and was so happy to be picked up at the bus stop after hrs getting to Arusha from Dar Es Salaam and getting settled in the hotel provided with a nice meal prepared to order for a good price. I also love the fact that I was taken around to get a bus ticket to Nairobi after the safari and shuttled to the bus pick up point the following day. I experienced outstanding customer service and would do another safari with these guys for sure. They did an outstanding job and everything just worked together well to make it an all round great experience. I did a group safari with people I had never met but awesome for me that we all got on well.

5 day Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro camping safari
First of all, we did book a budget (camping) safari and this company offers a really good price-performance ratio. We have had an awesome time and it was defintely a once in a lifetime experience for us. Our guide Frank was great. He was really friendly and motivated to show us as much animals as possible. Moreover, he was really responsible and tried to fullfill our personal wishes (we spended as much time as we wanted at special locations, e.g. we watched baby lions for more than an hour).
The cook Safafour did a great job and suprised us with really tasty meals.
Although it was a budget safari, the camping equipment for the custumers and also for the staff could be better. The tent was good, but the sleeping bags were quite old and the zipper did not work anymore for 2 of our four sleeping bags, which is a little bit problematic especially at the crater as it gets really cold at night. Moreover, the 'mattress' was very thin and a bit uncomfy.

Great Safari with an excellent team!
We were with World Tours & Safaris Tanzania in a 4 days/3 nights tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The experience was really good, watch all those animals in their habitad, slept on the camping areas without walls was an amazing experience, what can I say about the night sounds...
Everything was excellent on the organisation, pickup & drop-off from the guesthouse, the food was plentiful and surprisingly tasty (excellent chef, I don't remember his name, sorry!). The guide/driver Mr.Cosmas was friendly, profesional and with predator eyes that allowed us to see all the animals that we seek, included the lazy & shy leopard. Rickson was our casual tour mate and future part of the tour company that share with us histories & wildlife knowledge. Thanks to all the team World tour Safaris Tanzania for the experience, we sincerely recommend you!
Excellent guide and cook. Amazing big five!
4D/3N Camping Safari
Experienced guide (Adam) with eagle eyes! We saw the big five several times and the meals were delicious. This is my best safari! All the team and staffs are friendly.
There was no hot water in the hotel after safari.

Cannot recommend highly enough - great price for budget safari!
We booked a 2D/1N budget camping safari of Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater - the price we were given was fantastic and much cheaper than we had seen elsewhere. Richard (the manager) responded quickly to all our queries, and was great to deal with prior to the trip.
The safari itself was brilliant - we had a spacious, comfortable jeep, knowledgeable guide (Felix) and great cook who cooked us delicious dinner and breakfast and huge lunchboxes. We definitely did not go hungry! The parks are beautiful and you will see lots of wildlife whoever you go with - but I would highly recommend World Tours Tanzania for their professional and friendly service. We particularly loved the T-shirts we were given, and a bottle of 18% wine to enjoy at the campsite :)
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Great Luxury Safari Tour in Northern Safari!
We've done a 6 nights Luxury Safari Tour with World Tours & Safaris in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Arusha National Park. The boss Richard at the beginning of reservation was fine in communications, very quickly reply and feedback to questions and requests, we did payments of quotes by credit card without problems. Our driver Cosmas was a very nice & available person, motivated to make us an incredible Safari Tours and it was so, we saw all animals possibles. Our first Lodge Maramboi was very very special, we had only few problems with Arusha stays, we do not suggest at all Oasis Hotel in Arusha town, it's better in anycase making check our locations/lodge proposed before make reservation. Our feedback in particular is very positive for the Driver and full of love and gratitude for the incredible wonders of Tanzania National Parks and least for but last...Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Wildebeests, Ghepards, Pumba and many many others.

Excellent tour = excellent experience = excellent price!!!
We recommend!
We was 3 days: Lake Manyara, Empakaai Crater, Olmoti Crater, Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater.
Richard is the best manager of the safari and recreation! Our driver (Frank) is the best professional. Our cook (Sokofo) was preparing a meal quickly and very tasty.
We spent the 1 night in Panorama, on the edge of the Great Rift Valley. WOOW!!!
2 night was in tent camp.
Frank found it and showed us all the African animals on safari . WOOW!!!
After traveling, Richard offered to stay in your hotel. Hotel was very quiet and clean.
Thank you for the pleasure!
False advertising
Despite booking and paying for a 4 day tour including Lake Manyara, we were told 10 minutes before we left that the tour had been changed to Tarangire instead. Also we were denied our visit the the Olduvai Gorge museum on the 3rd day, even though it was a option on our itinerary. When we challenged this they tried charge us triple the price. However, our guide Stephen was particularly brilliant and knowledge and went out of his way to make it a very special experience all the same.

Amazing game viewing
Did a 3 night, 4 day safari in October and loved it. I signed up to it on my own, and there was just one other person on the trip so it was a very private and personal experience. We did the basic camping safari. Tents are provided and put up for you prior to you arriving at the campsite. You have 2 members of staff - a chef and a guide. Guide is brilliant at spotting wildlife and very knowledgeable. Chef really impressed me with the food. There was always an abundance of it so you never go hungry.
We were originally due to go to Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorogoro but at the last minute our guide changed from Lake Manyara to Tarangire as he'd heard that the wildlife wasn't very good in Lake Manyara for a few days prior - so they always try to take you to the best places. When in the parks, the guides all speak to each other so you have a higher chance of viewing wildlife.
In the Serengeti & Ngorogoro crater, the campsites are really wild. Often, lions and other wildlife walk through the campsites. I found this very scary when sleeping in the tent!
Saw incredible things, the only thing we didn't spot was the black rhino but they are very rare. Managed to see a cheetah really close up which was probably the highlight. An abundance of elephants and giraffes. Lions eating a zebra and fighting. Plenty of wildebeest. Everything was incredible.
Also, Richard (who runs the company) will really look after you. Even while not on safari, he set up a good hotel the nights either side, and helped me get into Arusha town by taxi and showed me how to get back. He will help you with any questions at all.
