Excited, pure magic!!!!!!
For us as a family our experience with World tours was excellent. First of all all the planning was donne with care and expertise. Everything was perfect and our guide outstanding not only for his experience and keen eye to discover animals but his smile greeting us in the morning was unforgettable.
I highly recommend World tours &Safaris Tanzania

Superb experience! Book this with Masha (tour guide) and Gadi (chef)!!!
Our camping adventure began with an unfortunate start as our toiletries were lost in transit from car to car (with the operator) but the fact that our overall experience was superb is testament to how brilliant our guides were.
Masha was one of the most humble and genuinely nice people I have met. His knowledge of the safari parks is first rate and he drove with consistent enthusiasm and passion that was truly infectious. Gadi was equally brilliant and helpful in providing the services at the campsites and preparing food for the days.
Our experience was spectacular and I will actively find these two guides to do the same again and try and find that elusive cheetah in the Serengeti next time around!
A***** (also...great value for money!!!)

A friendly, safe and beautiful journey into the Serengeti.
The cars arrived on time in the two cars as agreed to pick the 10 of us up at the hotel in central Arusha, and from there on we really just sat back and enjoyed the whole 4 days with the friendly and knowledgable drivers. We had already booked camping inside Serengeti with another company, but our drivers worked seamlessly with the other camp and stayed there together with us free of charge on our part.
The guides were highly experienced and we saw almost all animals there are to see in the first two days. The guys knew their way around the plains very well, and always knew when we needed lunch - the food they provided on the way from Arusha was excellent by the way.
Highly recommended!

Welcoming, friendly and accomodating tour company
when we decided to climb Kilimanjaro we explored several options. After a lengthy and thorough search we found Richard Kilonzo's company. We were looking for a custom tour to fit every ones needs and he was able to accommodate us at a very reasonable cost. His services exceeded our expectations and he made special arrangements for all of us as our arrival and departure were not synchronous. The services during out climb were excellent, and the safari tour was very well organized. He personally greeted us upon arrival, departure and had a farewell dinner with us. I would highly recommend him for anybody interested in the beauty of Tanzania and neighboring countries. I will definitely contact him for my next trip to the region.

Every time a great safari!
First Safari in 2004 with Richards Company, that was already a great Camping Safari, and in 2008 together with my (now) husband, the African (safari-) fever got him, too :-)
We met Richard again in 2011, this time with our own Landrover, and he helped us a lot through Arusha.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will come back, next time with our son Jannik.
German speaking people may get an idea of our encounter on our homepage www.world-around.de or reading our book :-)

Kilimanjaro Ascent
Great service, made it to the top, thanks to the great guide. All was perfectly organised, starting from the pick up at the airport in Nairobi. He arranged all and I took the local bus to Arusha, it was a great ride. A perfect organisation if you are looking for a good basic service and a great reasonable price. Richard came personally to see me in the hotel after the climb to check how the tour was and the months before he was always replied instantly to all my questions by email. I did the climb for a special birthday occasion and it could have not been better. Richard is a serious business man and although I was first hestitant to send money beforehand, (you never know by today), he dealt with all matters proffesionally and I can only recommend his organisation.

About 10 wonderful tours with Richard and his team!
We are so happy to find Richard and his team by recommandations of friends from the giz. Me and my family had great times by going with world tours & safaris tanzania to Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park. The drivers have shown us more than we expected, the accommodations were perfect and the food was great. But more than that from the first time me and all my friends and family members who went with Richard we felt always welcome and like a part of a big family. Staying more than two years in Tanzania the times with world tours still remain some of the most exciting experiences. Many thanks for being very flexibel with the schedule and the destinations as well. I hope we are able to come back soon.

It was just about the best touring experience in our world-wide travel.
Our ten-day tour with Richard KilonzoPapa’s World Tours and Safaris – Tanzania was by far the most rewarding experience in our extensive tours around the world that we had previously travelled.
My wife and I and adult son enjoyed magnificent tours of the top national parks of Tanzania with a dedicated professional tour-guide driver who knew precisely where to go to encounter just about every animal that populated this vast region - especially the Serengeti and Ngoro-goro National Parks. At the lodge in Serengeti we enjoyed a night concert of Hyena songs that sounded like un-earthly groans that somehow lulled us to sleep.
As we travelled from one park lodge to another our driver once took a wrong turn that to our delight shortly led to a Masai village where the people spontaneously and warmly welcomed us.
Our driver was excellent in every way so that we always felt safe and secure. My wife’s photography produced many excellent memories, some of which we framed and hung to cover a wall. The various lodges were all delightful places in or very close the parks. The hospitality and cuisine was always superior.
Richard Kilonzo is committed to providing an ethical and high quality customer service to adventurers like us. On a scale of 1-5 stars, we score our experience at 6 stars.

Climbing Kili
Richard Kilonzo and his crew were awesome! I arrived separately from two of my other friends for the climb and they had no problem accommodating us all -- and giving me some extra attention while I waited. I was planning on being on the continent for a long time, so I didn't bring the cold hiking gear that was required -- I rented their quality equipment and clothing for a good price.
On the climb, our team was amazing! We had a good range of hikers with us -- from the speedster to the moderate hikers and each of us were accommodated accordingly and allowed to hike at our own paces if we wanted. The meals were always great and the care provided to us all was outstanding -- we stayed warm, comfortable, and happy.
During the climb, I got sun poisoning (make sure to cover the back of your neck, people!), and our team was incredibly gracious, patient, and caring. I couldn't eat for a day and they made me broth to drink throughout the day. I couldn't have had better care if I was home in my own house!
My two friends continued on with World Tours to do a safari and they thoroughly enjoyed their time -- having a relaxing time and meeting new people from all over the world.
I recommend this group to everyone I know that is heading to safari in East Africa -- including the guests for my upcoming wedding! This is an outstanding group and that will treat you well and make it worth the big budgets that safaris always are!
