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.

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.

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!

Expereince of a Lifetime!
We loved our tour with World Tours & Safaris. I was nervous because you never know what you are going to get, but World Tours dispelled all my fears!
The guide and cook were both great. The food that they provided three times a day was creative, fresh and surprisingly healthy. We never got sick or anything. The tent was nice and the foam mattress, pillow and sleeping bags were very clean and adequately comfortable. I am sure you could pay twice the price for a thicker mattress, but it was not necessary. We are 50 ish and 60 ish and were mildly roughing it, but for the price and experience it was totally worth it.
Our guide Frank was very knowledgeable and really knew how to keep everyone safe and happy. The guide and cook both worked very hard to ensure everyone was happy.
And we saw all the animals (except the Rhino) and amazing landscapes!

Brilliant operator in every way
Hello All, I feel compelled to write a review about world tours and safaris and the owner Richard. Richard was fantastic in the build up to our safari and was quick to respond to emails and very clear on what was included etc. When we arrived we got everything promised and Richard organised prompt and safe transfers, great pre safari budget accommodation where we were really well looked after and made to feel at home. The safari was brilliant and our every need was catered for. Our guide knew everything and inspired a lot of confidence, the vehicle was great and our cook was fantastic. We felt really safe and the whole thing felt like fantastic value for money.
World tours and safaris really impressed me when things went wrong. On the morning of our third day, I received news from the UK that my father was suddenly critically ill in hospital and I needed to head back immediately. We were in a very remote area but Richard and his team managed to produce a car for us straight away and the brilliant guide and cook were loading our bags and packing us food for the journey. Richard made sure the driver got us to the airport as fast as possible and the driver even stayed with us until he was sure that we were booked onto a new flight. Richard made everything happen so easily and made a terrible situation more bearable. In conclusion, if you want a great safari and, more importantly, the piece of mind that you are using a company who genuinely care about you... Choose these guys.

Wonderful experience!!!!!!
My boyfriend and I did a 3 night 4 day budget safari in May 2016. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We had an amazing time with World Tours and Safaris!! Richard, the manager, was quite helpful answering all of our questions and concerns before we arrived. The best part of our experience was our guide/drive, Steven! He had an incredible knowledge of the flora & fauna and superhuman eyesight!! Big thanks to him and our chef, we had a wonderful experience and got to see the Big 5! I cannot recommend him enough :)

Big thanks to Richard, Edgar and the World Tours Team!
My friends and I went on an unforgettable 3 day trekking trip up Mount Meru followed by a 6 day safari trip with World Tours & Safaris.
We originally booked our tours with another company that did not work out because they were dishonest and scammed us of our money.
The manager of World Tours & Safari, Richard, was extremely helpful throughout our entire time there. He connected us with the police to help us with our unfortunate situation, brought us to the bank as well as offered to take us on our safari trip at a very reasonable price (knowing we had just been scammed by another company).
The overall safari experience was amazing as his English speaking safari guide, Edgar, was a very kind, laid back and knowledgeable man. He was great at spotting animals and we were able to see the Big 5 and cleaned the land cruiser nightly to ensure we would have a great start every morning . The accommodations chosen throughout our stay in the safari was excellent. I would highly recommend Edgar, Richard and all of World Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for a tour in Tanzania, Africa.
Excellent company providing a fantastic service, run by professional and reliable employees!

Superb budget safari experience with professional and caring staff.
We had a six day tented safari visiting, in order, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Perfect arrangement for our family safari (kids 11 and 13.) Guide and cook was the perfect team to maximize our adventure and adapt to our needs and requests. Food surprisingly varied and well made considering the conditions. Guide did all in his power to show us everything. And we did! The car and tents were old but functional. Best regards to Stanley and Sokofo from the Bendz family!
