Brilliant Guides and excellent support
I am a 66 year old solo traveller, happy to "rough it" for a while if the experience justifies. Having spent 4 days on safari in Kenya booked through another company, I then found myself passed onto the very capable hands of Richard Kilonzo and his team in Tanzania. After a night's rest in Arusha, I travelled to Lake Manyara with the charming Mateas Chuwa, where we got up close and almost too personal with an old bull elephant. Exhilarating. The next day Richard's brother Steven arrived to drive & guide for the onward journey to Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire National Park. Steven's eyesight is uncanny, his knowledge of game and birds extensive, and his sense of humour delightful. After a brilliant 3 days it was back to Arusha, where once again Richard ironed out a last minute breakdown in communication with minimal fuss. If you are looking to see a lot of African fauna, on a limited budget and happy to accept the occasional limitations in comfort which that - and travel in Africa - entails, then this is definitely for you.

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!

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!

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.

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.

great way to see and get closer to the safaris and the local environment
Initially we had a hard time to find a safari that was not ridiculously expensive. We also didn't want a level of luxury that distance you from the experience itself. World Tours was a perfect match. We are glad we took the private camping option having only the two of us during the trip. It gave us the flexibility to stop and look at what was of most interest to us. The safari was well organized and our driver and cook were fantastic. Always accommodating, always willing to show or explain anything we seemed to be interested in.
In hen-site I wished we had asked for an option to do some hikes and not spend all time just been driven around.
Richard the owner is very responsive and helpful. Payment went well and we definitely had one of a lifetime experience.

this one's for horace
World tours will probably be the cheapest deal you will get online - though AC cars and water coolers could be a possible addition they could add. We may have had a few issues with hotel choices and Richard's manner.. more due to miscommunication than anything else.. but overall our safari from tarangire to ngorongoro to serengeti was truly memorable all thanks to our guide, driver and friend Horace.. He went to all ends to ensure we saw all animals of choice, and would want to take us further even when we were tired, with a smiling OK to supplement it!
He would spot animals way before we did, treated us as friends, and helped make it a trip of a lifetime!

3days-budget safari, Ngorongoro/Tarangire/Manyara
We where two people going on a three days budget safari to ngorongoro, lake manyara and tarangire. We had two nights in "bungalows" at the panorama lodge near manyara.
We got picked up by our driver, Cosmos, at the correct time. We where happy with Cosmos as a driver and guide, and he was easy to be with. We where also happy with the tour, we saw a lot of animals (4 out of 5 of the "big five") and a lot of nice landscapes. The lodge we where sleeping inn was probably the only downside. The bungalows where ok, but the food not so much. But the lodge had a very nice view over lake manyara, where you can see the sunrise and that was nice.
The day after the safari the company drove us to the airport at the correct time. All in all are we very happy with the tour.
