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.

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.

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 !!!

I believe that world air has the best arrangement in terms of Quality, my 6day safari with them was superb,
My driver guide made sure that we were informed in every place we visited not to mention his capacity knowledge of the entire Eco-system from Birds, wildlife to communities. talking of our expectation ovarall indeed it was a fantastic life time Safari with world Air Tours.
