Amazing, well organized, fantastic safari!
5/5

Our experience with World Air and Travel was seamless from the start. Elias was responsive, information and extremely helpful. John, our guide and driver was amazing. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and an incredible resource for us. The accommodations were varied but generally outstanding. We used WATT on the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. We did the northern circuit and Zanzibar but I'm sure they just as efficient and experienced in other areas. Would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about a safari to Tanzania.

World Air Travel and Tours

When you want to mark something off your bucket or wish list you do your research. I researched and requested itineraries (and quotes) from 10 different tour companies. I knew what we wanted and that was a safari to go down as our best family vacation ever and a few nights on a beach just for fun and relaxation. World Air Travel and Tours delivered this and SO much more. They also provided a “tip sheet” that helped us make sure we were appropriately packed with everything we may need and made the VISA (immigration) process so smooth. Their communication and detailed itinerary matched every aspect of our safari and Zanzibar beach fun! Our guide, John, went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable experience. John answered all our questions, pulled out books to show us more about what we were seeing, entertained our 12 year old who asked more questions than 4 children combined, and never pressured us and gave us time to enjoy his beautiful country (Tanzania). We visited Tarangire National Park, L. Manyara N. Park, Serengeti (2 nights camping too on the Serengeti), and Ngorongoro (crater). We spent 2 nights on the Serengeti and woke to sounds of the animals and saw different ones also right from our tent! The links World Air Travel and Tours provided to us matched the places we were going and staying at. Everything was up to date and current. The food was diverse and so good also. Our kids loved the food and for the 12 days we were there never once asked for their technology! At the end of our safari World Air Travel and Tours also coordinated our beach family time in Zanzibar. They arrange a driver, room, air travel, and provided everything we needed to relax and enjoy the beach! I would recommend this company to ANYONE who wants a memorable experience. The memories that they helped us achieve will stay with us forever

Amazing trip made seamless by amazing staff. Elias and Focus were brilliant.
5/5

Everything from the beginning was made easy. We were collected at the airport by our driver for the week Focus. Elias had made the whole booking and planning of the trip seamless. We saw everything we expected and more. The accommodations were out of this world. Can't thank Elias and Focus enough for making our Honeymoon, the trip of our lifetime.

WOW! A vacation of 2 life times.
5/5

We’ve traveled to over 20 countries and this is the best vacation we have ever had.
Right from the get-go this was an exceptional experience. The clear, detailed and professional itinerary, the ease of booking this trip, Elias’s help in tailoring the itinerary to all our needs, we truly felt like people not just a number. The months prior to the trip Elias answered all our questions and concerns quickly and concisely. He advised us of adverse weather conditions and suggested alternative lodging to make our safari as pleasant as possible.

This wonderful service didn’t end there. John, our naturalist and driver, met us at the airport and on the trip to our hotel explained in detail what we would be doing the next day. He would explain our next day’s adventure every night for the rest of the safari. John was our wonderful guide, answering all our questions and seeing to all our needs on this ten day game drive.

We visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. But the heart of a safari is the animals. Here are just a small taste of our wonderful encounters:

We watched in awe as a huge herd of elephants, with babies in tow, passed in front of our Landcruiser.
We gazed at a family of graceful Giraffes walking across the open savanna and then watched as they picked the choice leaves from the tops of an Umbrella tree.

A pride of lions sleeping in the grass, the mama was nursing a cub while magnificent male was alert and watching.

Magnificent Zebras, Wildebeests and Thomson’s Gazelles peacefully grazing on the plains.

We saw dozens of Hippopotamus’ bathing in the river, we were stared down by a big male Cape buffalo guarding this turf, we saw majestic leopard snoozing in a Baobab tree, and Vultures, Jackals and Hyenas scavenging for food.

We watched monkeys foraging in the open fields, and a troop of Baboons hiding in the grass by the side of the road.

We also sang, danced and had a jumping contest with the colorful Maasai tribe. A lot of fun.

However, the highlight of our safari was the Great Migration! Tens of thousands of Wildebeest and Zebras, stretching from horizon to horizon queued to cross the Mara River. Then the crossing was complete mayhem; Wildebeest and Zebras scrambling to reach the other bank, truly an exhilarating experience.

Wonderful 10 Day Safari Experience !
5/5

We had a wonderful time on our Safari with our guide, John. The trip spanned 10 days, with visits in Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorogoro and of course Serengeti. The entire duration of the safari, John was kind, courteous and very accommodating to our needs - whether that was an earlier start to see the animals, or later returns to see the sunsets, or returning to a specific spot to see lions, he was very flexible with what we could do throughout the day! John was also exceptionally knowledgable and observant, able to spot hidden animals from very far away and point them out to us, while also driving up closer to see otherwise elusive animals like Jaguars, Cheetahs and Rhinos. Overall, the safari experience was as wonderful as it was because of John's expertise.

Overall, the accommodations booked by World Air for us were wonderful - they were all very clean, elegant, and all the staff was very courteous and polite.

There was not a detail left unattended to throughout the trip - the office with Elias and our guide John were very responsive and easy to reach for any questions we had in the trip!

7-Day Magical Encounter of the Big Five Safari
5/5

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!

7-Day Magical Encounter Of Big Five Safari
5/5

We spent 7 unforgettable safari days in Tanzania.
After visiting Kenya and South Africa, there was no visit to the Tanzanian parks, this time we organized ourselves, both air and safari transfers, I contacted World Air Travel and Tours directly, in the person of Elias already from February, we have agreed on the itinerary and the dates, we have often written in these months to better define the whole holiday and I must say that Elias has always been kind and diligent in the answers.
Upon arrival in Tanzania we met Joshua, our guide throughout the week, the safari included in the order the following parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
The safari was tiring because we opted to make the most of the day, without stopping at the lodge for lunch, eating in the bag every day, this resulted in 10 hours a day off-road, but it was worth it, the safari was fabulous, we saw everything there was to see.
We have admired countless predators and hundreds of other species, a complete safari thanks to Joshua, always available, has fulfilled all our requests and even beyond, very good!
What else to say, a safari to recommend, suitable for tourists who want to admire the beauty that only Africa can give you, organized very well.
Thanks again Elias and Joshua for letting us have a unique experience!
