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. 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.

Fabulouse wildlife experience
The overall experience with World Air Travel & Tours right from the booking through Elias Njenga to the tour guide John on our arrival at Kilimanjara was quite good. Elias was quick in his response to our various queries and special requests, was quite accomodating in giving us the best possible deal and ensuring that we have a comfortable stay and jungle experience. The tour guide John was quite welcoming, patient and particular about our well being especially the children. He was always on the lookout for animals to ensure that we got the best of wildlife experience. A very committed tour guide that World Air can be proud about. We had only 2 minor incidents with regard to our hotel stays in 2 places. Other than that this was a worhtwhile wild life expereince for both our families

Holiday of a lifetime!
This was indeed a holiday of a lifetime and although I was initially apprehensive when I arrived in Tanzania I need not have been concerned at all. Everything was well organised by Elias from the airport pick up throughout the whole safari until the airport drop off. The accommodation was fantastic and was everything we had expected. Our driver Robbie made the whole safari a pleasure. He was so eager to show us all the various animals in their different environments and he obviously loves his job. His enthusiasm and professionalism could not be faulted. I had a lot of problems with the internal flights I had booked online with Precision Air. Robbie and Elias helped me with this stressful experience and Robbie would not leave the airport until my flight problems had been sorted. Thank you Robbie and Elias for making our safari a wonderful experience. If I am lucky enough to go on another safari I will definitely book through World Air Travel and Tours and have already recommended them to several friends who are considering a safari holiday.

Excellent Honeymoon Trip to Tanzania
My wife and I booked a safari and zanzibar trip for our honeymoon via World Air Travel & Tours. We usually backpack but decided to set something up ahead since it was our honeymoon. Elias was extremely helpful via email in setting everything up and helping us get the most out of our time in Tanzania. We emailed back and forth almost daily. I was nervous setting something up via the internet/email but all fears alieved from the moment we landed- a pickup was arranged at the JRO airport. Our bags did not arrive, but this wasn't an issue as World Air Travel, picked them up for us the following day and delivered them to us while we were on safari! The safari was amazing and our guide/driver Donald was fantastic at spotting animals. The jeep was in good condition and the lodges were great. All we had to worry about was taking pictures. 300+ elephants, 40+ lions, 3 leopards, 3 rhinos, and tons of other animals later we headed to Zanzibar for some R&R. After a couple of days in Stone Town we went to Ras Michamvi. It was nice and isolated on the eastern side of zanzibar. Perfect for what we wanted. Elias was excellent in setting everything up according to what we wanted and provided excellent advice on activities. World Air Travel and Tours delivered and I would highly recommend them to our friends and family.

The most amazing safari experience.
Right from my first enquiry for a quote until the end of the trip, Elias was always in email contact and helped us so much with flight problems which were not his responsibility. ( Don't use Precision Air. They make up the flights and destinations as they go along)! Our booking was a bit complicated as I had to meet up with a friend from Australia, but Elias understood the situation perfectly and helped us to put our holiday together. I was so grateful that he advised us that it was the rainy season and booked us into beautiful lodges rather than tents.
Our driver, Robbie, was fantastic! He did the airport transfers too, and after a long flight it was lovely to be met with a smiling face. His driving was very good. I felt completely safe whether on main roads or on wet tracks. How he managed to negotiate all those ruts and pot holes and spot distant animals and birds at the same time was completely beyond me! He let us look at the animals for as long as we wanted but also made sure that we had time to see everything he promised he would find for us. It was lovely to be met by a smiling Robbie each morning, ( he was always more punctual than we tried to be), to go off on our adventures. And the animals we saw were amazing, often so much closer than I imagined they would be. My highlight was elephants crossing the road in front of us and practically brushing against the jeep to get to the forest on the other side.
So a big thank you to Elias, Robbie and World Air tours for the most perfect safari holiday. I would definitely recommend the company.

Above our expectations
We visited Tanzania in November 2014. Normally we are backpackers, however for Tanzania we were advised to prearrange a (private) tour. After receiving several offers from different travel agencies, we chose World Air Travel because of their good offer and flexibility in making a few additional changes to get the best fit with our wishes. Thanks to Elias for his great advice.
Upon arrival we were picked up by John. A great tour guide: excellent knowledge about the Tanzanian flora and fauna, funny and smart guy, easy going while assuring enough privacy! He made it an unforgettable trip, it was hard to say goodbye ;-)
The tented camps were very luxurious. Every day delicious meals were provided by the different accommodations. The suggestion to go to Ras Michamvi at Zanzibar at the end of our trip, worked out really well.
We also recommend the balloon flight over the Serengeti. Also if you would surprise someone with this amazing experience, World Air Travels can keep it a real secret to the one being surprised.

A safari of a lifetime - well done.
Embarking on a safari tour was always going to be great, but this was magnificent! To see the big five in their natural habitat, living together, was beyond excellent. It was a magical experience made entirely possible by our guide John of World Air Safari's. From the moment we met to begin our journey through the northern beauty of Tanzania we knew we were in good hands. He was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, experienced and in John's case very diplomatic.His patience was incredible in a situation beyond our control and he is an incredible spotter. His knowledge on animal and bird behavior was fantastic.A fantastic guide and wonderful companion.Our deepest gratitude to Elias who answered our questions so promptly when we inquired the trip and so knowledgeably informed about the best time to visit the parks and the best combination of accommodations.The land cruiser pop-top was kept in clean condition and hey! thank you for the refreshments in the cooler, well deserved on the dusty and hot environments.I can’t imagine a safari company exists that’s more accommodating, easier to work with, more professional, or with a finer and more competent staff. This is it.Our roots are in Africa I think, and my heart responds instinctively to that. Go see yourself.
