We wanted a Tanzanian trip that we can remember fondly - we got it.
World Air Travel has been helpful all along and made us felt at home.
This was a trip special to my wife and I, and also our first time setting foot on Africa so I had numerous email communications with Elias before the trip to tailor the itinerary and to clarify concerns, and Elias was always understanding and helpful, as well as being extremely responsive and accommodating with the requests.
Our tour guide John was also a gem. To say the least, he took care of us - carried our bags, kept us fed with snacks, opened our doors, brought us fresh drinking water etc. He also somehow, yet always managed to get us into the best position for photographs of the wildlife animals while also being extremely knowledgeable about them. However what's more was his company more than being a professional tour guide - he was a friend on the road and we exchanged many stories, which in hindsight, is as important and memorable as seeing the Big Five.
The food and accommodation were all as planned and we were pleasantly surprised by the general quality of the arrangement and the service we received. We wished for a pleasant adventure to see something we've never seen before at a place we've never been to - Tanzania and World Air Travel certainly delivered.
Asante rafiki!

Great agency, excellent guide
When me and my friends arrived in Arusha we almost made the mistake of going on a camping safari in the rainy season. Elias was the first agent to point this problem out and he is truly a professional in hist job. We got excellent accommodations and a fantastic guide, Robbie. He went out of his way to make us feel good and show us everything the national parks had to offer. The price was also very reasonable, better than the competition. I would go back anytime and travel with them. Big thumbs up!

We had a really very good trip with World Air Travel & Tours.
We had a really very good trip with World Air Travel & Tours.
The mail contact from the beginning was nice, correct and quick, on every question was a direct answer and the trip was made to our wishes.
The tour to Taranigre National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengety National Park and Ngororgoro was the best. We have seen so many wild animals, it was wonderfull!!
Our tour guide John, was perfect! A very good and save driver!! Has a lot of knowledge about the nature in the parks and the animals and their behaviour. John was also very good ad locating the animals who were difficult to see and find, and had a lot of patience while we were watching and making photos of them. He was a very good companion on our trip.
The lodges ware very nice and good, fine rooms, good bed and good food. Also entertainment in the evenings was nice. We really had a very, very special week in the beautiful parks of Tanzania. We feel blessed that we got to see so many beautiful wild animals, it was an experience that will stay with us forever..
The week after the trip we were in Zanzibar. Again the flight and pick up was very good organised. And the hotel Ocean Paradise Beach Resort was beautiful, it was a perfect place to take some time to relax and rest. The pool and beach are wonderful and the sea water was (for us) warm. So we enjoyed this very much.
We want to thank everybody who helped make this an unforgettable time for us.
Especially John our guide who was the perfect travel companion.

I can highly recommend World Air Travel & Tours-tour organiser Elias, and safari guide/driver John!
I was delighted and relieved when Elias from World Air Travel & Tours answered all of my questions by email from Australia so promptly and clearly - as a first timer for safari one has many things to understand and ask - and Elias was so helpful and efficient. He planned everything so well - allowing us to relax and enjoy such an unforgettable experience!
Our guide/driver John was fantastic at his job and my husband and I too great delight in spending time with him. It was amazing how he could spot the animals so well at at distance! He was happy to discuss at length the behaviour of the many animals and birds - and would also research and answer questions using some beautiful detailed books on wildlife he had with him. The vehicle was very comfortable and the pop-top allowed for great viewing.
We flew in from Mwanza, (where we had been at a wedding) straight into the Serengeti ( great choice by Elias) - and the Serengeti was my favourite and was unbelievably beautiful. Then we visited Olduvai gorge, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and Tarangire - all of them very beautiful and fascinating. We completed our safari in Arusha.
The accommodation ranged from semi-budget to luxury - mainly towards the luxury end and we were very happy with that - and enjoyed the changing circumstances! It is certainly beautiful to be in some of the tented camps.
The safari exceeded our expectations and, as we told Elias and John, we are looking forward to supporting our adult children to go on safari with World Air Travel & Tours when they have the opportunity to go. It is a both exhilarating and humbling experience - unforgettable.

The perfect safari trip
Upon deciding that our holiday for this year would be a safari, we went looking for the best partner to arrange our trip. We contacted several agencies but had the best response from Elias, of World Air Travel and Tours. He was able to advice us on the best possible route, lodges, national parks, etcetera based on our wishes and available budget. After a few e-mails up and down we agreed on a final proposal including: hotel in Arusha, Tarangire park (sopa lodge), Lake Manyara (serena lodge), Serengeti (serena lodge), Ngorongoro (serena lodge), Kilimanjaro day trip, arusha national park (the arusha hotel) and finally a 4 day stay at Zanzibar (blue bay beach resort and spa). Upon arrival at KIA we where met by the driver with his Landcruiser safari truck. The driver was very punctual and correct. He arrived on the agreed times for departures, kept the truck very clean, drove safely on the sometimes difficult roads and most important he was a very good wildlife spotter as well. The truck had a cooler to keep the water, soda's and safari beer cold during the whole trip. The seats where spacious and the open top roof gave us a very good view during game drives. The lodges we stayed where all very good both in hotelroom quality as in food and services provided. The lunchboxes where very tasty as well. After a total of 10 days of safari we where brought to KIA for our flight to Zanzibar and we where very gratefull for the good experience we had. Upon arrival in Zanzibar the representative of world air was waiting outside the airport to bring us to the resort. he was available for all kind of tours during the time we where in Zanzibar.
To summarize it all, we had a very nice safari holiday, our expectations where met and often exceeded. the service provided by world air travel and tours was great. we enjoyed the pleasant company of the driver and his knowledge about nature and wildlife. As you can see on the rating the holiday was perfect. Booking with World Air Travel and Tours is certainly recommendable.

Maximum exposure, excellent service, best driver/guide, incredible experience
Form day one the office understood our needs and tailored an excellent trip. The total cost was affordable and well spend. The hotels were carefully selected to accommodate 3 adults in a room. Food was good. Safari vehicle was tops and the animals sightings incredible. The only disappointment was the pricey balloon safari which lasted 25min in the air flying over a burnt field with no animals. All in all another 2 nights in the Serengeti and a 3 night Masai Mara trip added would win gold. Thanks to World Air Travel.

Perfect Safari !!
We had 4 wonderful days private safari in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. The Service was excellent already starting with selecting the best fitting National parks for the time and the lodges and camps. We enjoyed every single minute of our Safari and many thanks to our guide John, who really had a great feeling for spotting the animals, a very good knowlede about the nature and he was waiting at the right places with Patience to make sure we have the best sights on all the wild animals during the game drives. Our vehicle was very comfortable and i can tell you, we have seen lot of overcrowded other vehicles which made us glad to have selected World Air Travel :-)
They were taking care of us from the pick up at the KIA Airport until the "Karibu tena tanzania" at Arusha Airport. I want to thank especially John and Elias for organizing all so perfect for us and to give us such a great experience in Tanzania.
Asante sana and we hope to be back again to go to Serengeti next time.
Great Job !!!

7-Day Magical Encounter of the Big Five Safari
My experience with World Air Travel is being great from the beginning until now!
This was my first time at Tanzania with my family and Elias was super helpful to prepare a made tailor itinerary for us. We made some changes in the basic itinerary and Elias was always prompt in his replies and always seeking to meet our expectations whether they were about the safari itself or the accomodations, etc.
We felt secure with him and he was always available by e-mail, whatsapp, cell phone, 24 hours per day, to provide details about our trip or to made changes in the itinerary or to clarify any doubt that we might have.
The support provided by Elias was outstanding compared with other travel agencies that we contacted to prepare the itinerary for us (and believe me, we contacted more than 10 agencies!).
We started our adventure on Aug 10th 2019 at the airport, where Focus, our driver (and now I can say our friend!) was waiting for us.
We spent the whole week with Focus and he was truly outstanding! He has a huge knowledge about Tanzania, about the safari, wild life and so on. He took us to the best viewing areas, he was VERY committed to provide us the best experience that we could have and he was always trying to find animals in the savanna and due to his commitment we were able to see all the animals that were in our must-see list (including the big 5!).
Furthermore, Focus was always attentive to our well being, being very punctual and very helpful in helping us with whatever we needed, even if it was beyond his scope of work.
He is a hard working man with a huge experience about safaris and he is very polite and friendly. He was the responsible for a great and unforggettable experience that we had!
I leave here a BIG THANK YOU to Elias and to Focus for assisting us and to provide to us an experience that I can say that was the trip of our lifetime!
