Great Tz owned company! Would recommend exploring Tanzania with them!
World tours was booked for the Tanzania portion of our trip- Rickson the owner and operator was there to meet us at the border and again at the end to wish us well. Amazing service and knows a lot about a lot!
Samwel our driver was amazing with animals and knowing the best areas in the parks, plus into birds too! Genuinely nice and so happy to be around.
The accommodation/meals/days were customised to our group and everything was on time and as described! Wish we could have travelled with them longer!

Tanzanian Family owned and operated, support local!
This tour operator was probably the best holiday I've ever had. And it was thanks to these guys. I was with my wife and her mother and friend. So we had a mixed group age wise. And they were able to compensate for our needs within the same tour which was great
I met Rickson the owner on the first day and he gave us a clear itinerary. He's such a genuinely nice man, I'm so happy we were recommended this tour group by a friend. But with room to be flexible as the tour unfolded.
He then introduced us to our driver Samwel, another local. He speaks great english french and Swahili. Has an astounding knowledge of animals and birds and local history. And wow he has a good set of eyes, he can spot animals better than you could believe. Thanks to Samwel we saw so much!
Being a Tanzanian owned operation, which is pretty rare, I feel we got a much more genuine experience of Tanzania. And we had the inside scoop for alot of animal sightings.
it seems most of these companies are owned by foreigners. I highly recommend if you can to use this company, not only is it the right thing to do. You will have such a great time!

Awesome! everything worked as planned and we had the best time
Great value for money. Stanley, our guide, was super. He was attentive, and knowledgeable, and was always making sure we were having a great time and enjoying our game drives. We visited, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. Highly recommend WT&ST. Rickson was always in contact with us via WhatsApp ensuring everything worked as planned. Many thanks for a great trip

Amazing
Super cool and smooth trip with Rick. I never leave reviews unless the experience is exceptionally good or bad. In this case was really cool, travelling with Rick is fun and safe. He told us lots of things about Tanzania, he came with us everywhere, we enjoyed our days with him very much. I could not recommend him more!

Best Safari ever
Safari with Okoa Tours:
We were 3 nights and 4 days with Chef (which means chef) Vitalis and the driver Alifa on the way and it could not have been better, they have a special praise. The smooth email contact in advance was also good.
The only downside, you have to pay the rest of the paid safari in dollars in cash in the office, which led to fees of 45 dollars, because we have no dollar currency in Germany, had to be exchanged in Tazania, which was very awkward on the bank.

Posted on Nov 20, 2019Sorry we also have credit card service in the office at the surcharge of 4% for the Bank transaction. You don't need to carry dollars cash all the way to Africa.

Amazing Safari
We had 9-day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Eyasi. We had a wonderful time and great experience. During those days we saw a lot of animals: leons, elephants, giraffes, bufalos, gnus, ghepards, leopards and many others. Our driver Stanley identified the best locations to see animals and He taught us a lot of things. He's a really good driver and guide. Our italian guide Peter, who speaks a fluent italian, was very nice and and prepared. They helped us to see the animals into the savana or jungle and he supported us during the long trip. We learned a lot of things during this trip.
In addition we spent two days in Lake Eyasi and we met the tribes Datoga and Hadzabe. Great experience. We spent one morning in the bush with the bushmans and we followed them during the huting. We learned how the Datoga tribe build the weapons for the hunting and the tribe daily life.
During the trip we spend 5 nights into a public campsites and our cook Socoime served our a good and abundant plates. He was really kindle and he tooke care of the tends and othes our needs.
Special thanks for Richard Kilonzo and his son Ricky, the offer a really good service and competitive price. The organized a tour in a attentive and precise method and they supported us for all our request or special needs. For example, they adviced us on the best destinations into the safari tour and They hired Peter as italian speach guide in order to sodify our request.

Friendly, passionate and thoughtful staff, driver guide and chef
We have joined the 5 days tour to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tanrangire in June 2018. The hotel arranged before the safari is up to standard with friendly staff. The driver guide is experienced when spotting wildlife and explaining the interaction behind them and the food prepared by the chef is generally quite good. It would be better if the chicken is not overcooked. Communication and arrangement with the office staff is clear and they are always helpful.

Great wildlife, friendly driver and chef, bad equipment
We choose the 4-day Safari to Manyara Lake, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti and the communication, before the Safari started, was good although it was not possible for us to do the online deposit, but it was possible to pay when we arrived Arusha. Our guide/driver Horas and the chef Vitalis cared really good about everything and did a good job. Sometimes we expected more information of the guide spontaneously which was rare, but he could answer all our questions. So we saw a lot of animals an he gave us enough time to observe them- what was great! And the dinners Vitalis cooked for us were really good!
But we also had a few problems: at the gate of the Serengeti we were not allowed to enter the park because Richard hadn't done the cash transfer or something went wrong (we still don't know). So we waited for three hours and one member of our group had to do the payment with his credit card. After the safari he got the money back from Richard but it was annoying that we had to wait for three hours without knowing what's going on. The second thing were the tents. They are okay but because of the age the zipper is bad/ broken and it's not possible to close them properly. One evening was an short rainstorm and all the water came in on every seam. Furthermore the sleeping bags smelled like hell (sweat of a lot of people) and I would recommend to everybody to take their own sleeping bag! Third and last thing: the car broke down on the third day. The driveshaft of the back wheel broke. It was nobodys fault and they were able to find a solution after 40 minutes - so we drove to the next camp with front wheel drive. The guide drove to the next garage and they fixed it during the night.
So all in all it was a good safari with some adventures.

Great company. Great safari guide. I’d highly recommend
Everything went very smoothly. We choose to see 4 parks . The pick up avd drop of Arusha was well organized. The cook had breakfast , lunch and dinner ready for us in a timely manner to make each park drive.
Stanley , our guide and driver , was friendly and much better at spotting the animals than I was. We got to see the big 5 plus plenty of elephants, hippos , birds and antelopes.
I’d definitely recommend this company and will use them again if I manage to get back to Tanzania again.
