Reviews
Renewed Appreciation
I had written a review earlier but, having enjoyed a safari in Uganda with a company that did a very satisfying job, I thought I should note how World Tours & Safaris Tanzania was absolutely outstanding. A tight programme allowed us to see a lot in four days, with pacing at Lake Manyara and Serengeti and Ngorongoro well arranged. Food was excellent, and accommodation quite satisfactory for the budget rates we paid. Many thanks

High five
The company is providing a perfectly organized schedule for Serengeti & Ngongoro Safaris. The driver is well experienced and flexible, the served meals are tasty. The price performance ratio is in the top quartile of all offers. Perfect service. I would book it again. I strongly recommend joining World Tours & Safaris Tanzania.

Extremely disappointing with a lack of respect and courtesy from driver-guide
Driver/guide Haron was rude to us, rolled his eyes if we asked to have the engine turned off to watch wildlife, and raised his voice at me when we chose not to visit a Maasai Village (perhaps he was not getting a cut of the $100). I trusted to go with this company as the Mt Kili guide had been recommended to me had set this tour up; this was a mistake and despite the Kili guide tipping Haron $100 in advance to take good care of me, the customer service was poor. Perhaps Haron was not expecting to be called out on Dec 31 New Year's Eve . . . regardless, the other couple and myself treated poorly.

Wildlife at it's best!
Richard was fast with responding to emails. We were a little nervous about paying from Sweden but it worked out perfectly. Nice guide, great chef, wildlife was amazing and the tent kept us dry. The only thing we would do differently if going again would be to bring our own sleeping bags.

Very good
We did a 9 days Safari tour with World Tours and Safaris Tanzania and the experience has been very good.
Richard and his staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Our driver and guide Frank has been excellent at spotting animals and really knew the routes very well. We saw many animals and the scenery was excellent.
The food was plentiful and the taste was okay. It did take some time getting used to but it was not bad at all.
Overall, the experience has been very good and we would not hesitate to work with Richard again on future visits.

Good experience and value
We did 4 days/3 nights in the Serengeti and the Crater. Richard's business is operationally excellent. He is quick to communicate with customers before and during the visit. The company does what it says it will do, sticking to a tight schedule to pack in as much as possible in 4 days. I never worried he would run away with our money or that we would be unsafe while on the safari. I know for many other folks with other tour groups we overheard or talked with in camps at night, this is not always the case. We got what we expected with Richard and that isn't always the case. Our guide Frank didn't detract from the experience, but he didn't add much either. He didn't share a lot about the animals with us - I think because he didn't speak English that well more than not knowing anything. We also had some long drives without a ton of expectations-setting in terms of time in the car and broader plan. That said, Frank knew what he was looking for once in the crater and Serengeti and we often found ourselves watching animals at the right time and place. That stuff doesn't happen entirely accidentally. The food is really good and there is plenty. Sokafour (I'm sure I'm spelling his name incorrectly) was kind and both he and Frank extremely hard working in terms of keeping us fed, setting up camp and driving us around. The trucks are a little old and don't have plugs for camera batteries, an important thing to note. Overall a really good experience that met expectations, but fell a little short in terms of being great. For the cost though, it was an excellent value. You might be best to read up on some of the animals before you head out on the safari.

Wonderful Time in Serengeti
My family of 4 visited Serengeti with World Tour in March this year. We all enjoyed our trip thought it was very dry in the park. Our driver Frank is a skillful driver. He is really helpful. As for the cook, I think his cooking skill needs some improvement for cooking beef. It is very hard to chew.
Good experience
I went for the budget camping 4d/3n safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Right from the start Richard was very good and quick in replying emails. He was friendly, answered all my questions, provided my transport from and to the airport before and after the safari. The safari itself as very good. Frank, our driver guide knew what he was doing and what he was looking for. We saw all the big 5 and so much more. However, the safari would be better if he would give further information about the animals and safari during the long drives. He would answer your questions so you have to be pro-active in asking questions. If not, the safari would be a lot of looking around. Our cook, Sokafour was really nice, he cooked really good and bountiful food for us. In terms of equipment for camping, it was a budget camping so everything was basic. But you get what you paid for. I was quite satisfied with the equipment provided. All in all I thought it was a good experience and I was very satisfied with my first safari experience.

a great experience
My friend and I have visited Tanzania in March 2015 and we were lucky to have found World Tours and Safaris Tanzania and have them as our tour operator for our safari trip that went for 4 days (from 9th -12th Match 2015) in which we have spent the time of our life visiting Lake Manyara, the great and awesome Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater .. everything was delivered as promised .. they have sent us their agent to collect the remaining of the payment which was very nice for tourists who don't much about the place .. we were picked from our hotel on time .. met with our driver Masha and cook Musa who both did a great job .. then we met with Richard who genuinely made sure that everything was in place and right .. during the safari trip we have seen all the animals we hoped to see .. and the food preparation was very good .. i honestly expected some quick sandwiches for lunch and dinner .. but we've had good food soups, salads, main course, and even fruits for desserts, breakfasts had a good variety of eggs, hotdogs, pancakes, hot chocolate, tea and coffee .. before we have started our trip we were asked if any of us was vegetarian so they could modify the meals .. we have had a slight problem which was out of the guys hand .. and they apologized nicely and even paid our dinner and a hotels night after we got back from the safari, i would definitely recommend World Tours and Safaria Tanzania to my family and friends.
Thank you guys

Lovely, impressive and great budget safari with the BIG FIVE
We had the pleasure to do a safari with World Tours and Safaris Tanzania. Though first we were not sure if everything would work out like we wished it certainly did! We enjoyed our time with our guide. He was very friendly, helpful and taught us a lot about nature and animals. We had the privilege to see all big Five, a fight between a lioness and a leopard next to our car included. Our guide was very open to drive and wait where we wanted. He showed us more than we expected and he even went longer than we thought. The operator upgraded us for free to a lodge instead of a camping spot. The food was good. We went early in the morning to see a lot of things. The guide even helped us in the end to organise a bus for our travel the next day. We were very satisfied. It was such a good service, though it just costed 360$ per person for two days, which was the cheapest offer we got from various companies. They certainly should get a big recommodation from us, because they really wanted to make the safari special and good - and it was a great success! We even had the privileg to be just us two - private safari :) The car was older but it still worked very good. Thanks!
It is worth your choice!
