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.

First Class Company and a Lifetime Experience
From my initial communication to plan the trip to months after I arrived home, Maasai Magic Safaris proved to be a top rated company. Our guide Gabriel was so knowledgeable and did everything to make sure we had a wonderful time. Sometimes in Africa you get many once in a lifetime opportunities and I had at least five of those on my trip. As a photographer sometimes patience is needed to get the photo and each time Gabriel was accommodating to ensure that I had enough time to do so. Other times I just put the camera down to take it all in. I could go over a list of the things we did, but that would take up much more room than needed on this review. Throughout the trip I always felt safe, though my own mind would play with me on what ifs, but Gabriel helped me understand animal behavior and was a fountain of knowledge throughout the whole trip. We stayed at many great places including beautiful lodges and tented camps. The tented camps were fantastic, another reviewer shared her thoughts and didn't seem to like them. I'm sorry, but when you are in Africa, a tented camp is awesome. You have all the conveniences that you need, but also the ability to enjoy a campfire under the African stars with perhaps some thunder rumbling in the distance.
I will be joining Maasai Magic Safaris at the end of 2015 again and can't wait to share this trip with other travelers.

Review about Etosha National Park by michielbesseling
Etosha is a huge safari park. Each game drive here is unique. You'll see a lot of animals, but it will be a surprise what it will be. I was three days in Ethosa and we saw a lot of rhino's. From a distance, but also up close near a water hole. We saw two cheetahs watching gemsbok. And then a large group of giraffe walking on the road. We did not see any elephant. That was a disappointment.
A large proportion of the park cannot be visited: the Etosha pan and the area north of the pan. That's the part of the park where National Geographic photographers do their work.
We slept one day in the park in Okaukujeo. The rooms and restaurant are OK, but not great. I prefer lodges like Etosha Safari Lodge & Camp just outside the park.

Amazing beauty of dunes and desert
Namib Naukluft National Park is a beautiful park, but not a your typical safari destination. You won't see much game, nor will you see many birds. You will see a lot of sand, but it's beautiful. The patterns in the sand, the variations in colors of the dunes (older dunes are darker then younger dunes).
Visit Sossusvlei, Dead vlei and climb the popular Dune 45, the most photographed dune. Dunes can be as high as 300 meters.
I flew with a small plane from Dessert Air over Namib Naukluft national park and saw the endless desert, the fairy circles en de red dunes from above. A day i won't forget, ever.

The perfect Journey
The days I spent in Serengeti National Park during my stay in Tanzania have been amazing. Immese strethces of flat land surrounded by nothing but the horizon and the most exciting animals making you company during your safaris are breathtaking emotions, not comparable to the everyday routine that we are used to all along our lives.
Moving through the park by the jeep, with a local prepared guide who drives you to the most precious locations makes it even better than it already is.
The weather I found in August was great, a fresh wind always accompanied us, even when the temperature under the sun got higher.
The accommodations are very limited, as there are quite a few lodges. But their quality is just superior; but food is not what makes the difference in this kind of journey.
