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.

Absolutely Amazing! The best travel experience we've had all thanks to Encompass!
My wife and I went on an Africa safari for our honeymoon booked through Jonathon and Encompass Africa.. From the moment we first made contact with Jonathon to the when we set foot back on Australian land we were looked after perfectly. I could not recommend a travel agent more highly. It was just the absolute immaculate attention to detail and everything possible was looked after. We cannot wait to go again and of course we will be booking through Encompass!!

A "life changing" holiday.
Jono and the team at Encompass Africa were absolutely awesome from the first meeting right through the whole experience. The service not only by Encompass Africa, but by all the various camp staff, the support staff whilst travelling within country etc, were beyond doubt, first class. We asked for and were treated to the ultimate safari experience within kenya and Tanzania. We have now organised and confirmed our second trip to Africa through Jono and his staff but this time we will be joined by friends and experience South Africa, Zambia and Botswana. An awesome and life changing experience, partly due to the excellent service provided.

Fantastic "glamping " in Africa
We did a 10 day camping tour to Zambia visiting 5 camps in the South Luangwa NP.
The accommodation and meals were first class and the rangers who took us on tours morning and afternoon were extremely knowledgeable and great people.
Encompass Africa looked after all bookings and travel arrangements for us and did it perfectly.
We will definitely be returning to Africa some time in the future and will contact Encompass Africa to arrange tour for us

Excellent value for money with local guides who are knowledgeable and customer focused
We were a family group and booked all our tours from abroad. On arrival we were met by the local guide and the chef who talked us through what we could expect on each day. They picked us up and the tours met and exceeded our expectations. The tours were affordable and the guides very knowledgeable. they went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our tours. I would highly recommend slow but sure as tour service providers,especially if you are staying in maun and want best value for money

3days/2Night Selous Game Reserve
Great value for money, good combination of boat, 4x4 and walking safari. Although there were only the two of us, we had two people accompany us, one as a driver and guide, and the other as a cook. Other staff came to our hotel as well, just to greet us!
We had a very kind and great driver/guide, Emanuel, who not only taught us a lot about the safari, but also about Tanzania in general. Always smiling. Our cook, Joseph was also good. We had great fun, and we really thank the two as well as Kanuth Adventure Safaris!
We can really recommend them!

W e had an amazing holiday thanks to Perfect Africa and especially Jo-Anne.
We loved Jo-Anne and Perfect Africa. Truly, our trip was perfect! Jo-Anne phoned us the next day after our online contact. Communication was personal, constant and so efficient. She even met with us in Cape Town to discuss our trip up to that point. We loved her! Everything went very smoothly. There was always someone waiting for us at the airports (six flights within Africa) and we absolutely loved her choices of accommodations--Tsala Tree-Top lodge in Plettenberg Bay, And Beyond Game Reserve Lodges in Kruger and Sabi Sands, Cape Royale in Cape Town, Royal Livingston in Zambia, Views Hotel in Wilderness and so on. It was a trip of a lifetime. We brought South Africa home with us in our hearts and we can't wait to go back. We are so grateful to Jo-Anne and Perfect Africa for making our first time in South Africa so memorable and so perfect!

I've had a great experience with Kilimanjaro Brothers. They took care of everything and really looked after us. We, 4 girls felt like princesses. It was in January 2014. Fantastic adventure and fantastic company. Highly recommended!
