Far above our expectations
My family of six (3 sisters and our husbands) just got back last week from our African Safari tour with World Air & Travel Tours. What a trip! Having never been to Africa, we weren't sure what to expect. So we were very happy to see that it was simply amazing.
Elias had worked with us to tailor the dates, locations, and lodging just for us and our needs. He found a lodge for us that was far more luxurious and beautiful than any place I had ever stayed in. I could have stayed on for the whole trip!
However, we moved on to the Serengeti to our tent camping locations. They were actually very comfortable, with great beds! And the service by the camp staff was as good as any you'd find in fine hotels and restaurants in Europe. Great people!
Our guide was John. What a great guy! He drove through really tricky conditions and rough roads, but not once was I afraid with him behind the wheel. We all felt that he could be a professional stunt driver! He also was so patient with the amount of time we wanted to stare at the animals. He found all of them that we had wanted to see: elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, cheeta, leopard, wart hogs, millions of hooved animals. The migration was stunning.
We also were interested in finding as many types of birds as possible, and he knew the name of each one.
All in all, it truly was the Trip of a Lifetime. I've travelled to Europe many times, but this trip was so unique and memorable. If you are contemplating this trip, don't hesitate.

5 days magical encounter of the big five safari
What a great trip! My partner and I happened to have a short window to visit the Serengeti for 5 days at the end of July, with such a short notice, World Air Travel and Tours was able to make it happen! Elias did a wonderful job in arranging our tour, the accommodations were great, the Serengeti and other highlights (the Ngorongoro crater, Masai village, and the drive along the way) were amazing. We definitely have to give a huge credit to our driver/guide, John, as well. He's very professional and knowledgeable. The road to the Serengeti was long and rough but John was able to keep everything on track and constantly making sure that we were comfortable even though he was doing all the hard work. Another huge thumbs up to John for driving non-stop for 8-9 hours hoping to track the wildebeest migration for us. A job well done, World Air Travel and Tours! Thanks for a terrific experience!

Trip of a lifetime
My friend and I did the tour from Bush to Beach with five days of Safari in the northern National Parks and afterwards four days in Zanzibar.
It was a perfect trip, we had such a great time! Everything was so well organized, from pick up at the airport over accommodation to the Safari itself, we really had to worry about nothing and could just enjoy the splendid wildlife of Tanzania. It was amazing how many animals we saw and our driver Paul did his best to spot them and was always so patient when we couldn't get enough of the lions or elephants. He left no wish unfulfilled and was a funny and reliable guide as well as a very good and safe driver.
The lodges were marvelous and the food delicious, there was really nothing to complain. The staff was always friendly and eager to help with any problem. We were sad to leave the National Parks behind but Zanzibar made that up. We stayed in the Ocean Paradise Beach Resort which is such a nice place to relax, beautifully arranged and with amazing food. Snorkeling was nice as well! And just the colors of the ocean at low tide with the boats lying on the beach is worth the visit.
For the booking we were quite spontaneous and were not flexible concerning the date, World Air Travel and Tours was the one company that just adopted the program to our wishes. And Elias, the Sales and Operations Manager, replied always immediately to our questions and demands.
All in all we had the trip of a lifetime and are eagerly waiting for a repeat.

Wonderful Experience
We visited Tanzania during May 2017 for 10 days and had a time of our life. Elias, who organized our trip, and John, who was our safari guide, were very helpful and professional.
We contacted Elias to get a personalized quote for safaris in northern Tanzania region and he sent us a few options in different price ranges. The packages were very reasonably priced (compared to other quotes we got) and the accommodations included are nothing short of spectacular.
My wife was traveling from India, and I from the U.S. Our plan was to fly to Nairobi and then take a shuttle to Arusha after a night's stay in Nairobi. However, I missed my flight from U.S unfortunately and my wife flew to Nairobi alone. I contacted Elias and he immediately responded by adjusting our trip schedule. As my flight landed in NBO at 2:30PM, we missed the shuttle to Arusha (that Elias booked for us). He put us in contact with a person in Nairobi airport, who booked a taxi to Namanga border and Elias sent John to pick us up from Namanga at no additional charge. He made sure that our trip stayed on schedule.
We visited Tarangire the first day and stayed at Burunge tented lodge. The stay was amazing. The views of Lake Burunge while you sip a drink or eat dinner were spectacular. The lake was dotted with flamingos all over. We did see a little bit of wild life, but not much in Tarangire. Spotted a few herds or elephants, ostriches, and some small game, such as zebra, here and there.
Lake Manyara was the next destination. The lake itself was beautiful and had a lot of wildlife around it. We saw hippos, elephants, wildebeests, a lot of giraffes, a variety of birds. You can also get an amazing view of Rift valley. Manayara is more of a jungle than a plain. So, it's a little harder to spot animals.
We drove to Serengeti the next day and the experience was inexplicable. There are wild animals everywhere you can see in the endless plains. We stayed at Kubu Kubu tented camp and the view of Serengeti from the tents was breathtaking. We could sit in the balcony and see a bunch of buffalo, zebra, and gazelles all over the plains.
Our trip concluded at Ngorongoro crater, where we saw an abundance of wildlife and completed our big-five spotting when we spotted a Black Rhino and it's calf. Wildebeests grazed at a stone's throw from a pride of lions. It's hard to describe the amount of wildlife present inside the crater (and in Serengeti).
John Mwanga, our tour guide, was very experienced and super friendly. We had very nice chats with him during dinners and lunches talking about Tanzanian culture and people. He definitely went the extra mile to make our trip worthwhile.

8-day Safari - Lake Manyara | Serengeti | Ngorongoro Crater
Elias and John were just incredible... so knowledgable and accommodating. We loved being in the Land Cruiser with John (he even put up with our senses of humour!), and we felt so good just leaving ourselves in his capable hands. We had some amazing laughs with John and he showed us the incredible natural world around us and under our noses.
The drive to the Serengeti can be bumpy, dusty and long but we loved every minute. There is so much to see and absorb in this incredible landscape. We chose to do two days in the Ngorongoro crater and are SO happy we did. The crater is just out of this world.
We had an incredible experience with World Air Travel & Tours. The food was great, we were always hydrated, the lodges were outstanding, service was really good and friendly everywhere.
Thanks Elias and John, and see you again soon. We're coming back with friends!!!

15 Day Safari Arranged by the Best Company!!!
Our family went on Safari with World Air Travel and Tours in June of 2017 and we can't say enough about the professionalism, responsiveness, and care that Elias and John put into making our trip, a dream come true.
I started working with Elias in the planning of our trip for over a year, and he was always prompt to respond to my multiple questions, and offered many suggestions to better accommodate our budget, our time, and what we were hoping to accomplish.
John, our incredible driver and guide, after spending 11 days together, became part of our family! he is extremely knowledgable of the region, the animals, the history, and he is very patient and friendly.
We had the time of our lives, and everything in our trip went just perfect, all thanks to Elias and John.

Amazing!
I have had the fortune of traveling to many places and this has been my favorite trip!! and part of that was World Air Travel, the attention was very good from beginning to end. We were in Kenya and Tanzania with different drivers, Isa in Kenya just a couple of days and John in Tanzania the rest of the days. The two drivers were great and John made a lot of effort to see the big five, goal that he achieve!
Elias was the one who managed everything from beginning to end and always responded attentively and quickly to our needs.
We did the balloon safari and my 2 year old girl could not go so they arranged everything to take care of her in the camp with the help of John who took her to meet us.
The food was delicious, the places in which we stayed and the attention, all spectacular, I have no complaint only good things to say.
Thanks to the entire World Air Travel team!!!
