Our honeymoon could not have been more perfect.
After reading Benson’s reviews on this website, we contacted him about a two-week honeymoon in Tanzania (one week Safari, one week in Zanzibar at the beach). Benson responded within a few hours with two different offerings, each containing additional options we could pick. Although he is specialized in Safaris, he managed to organize a very beautiful hotel in Zanzibar, too.
After discussing some details with Benson, we booked our trip nine months ahead and payed a deposit. Benson sent the confirmation that he received money, which is a very good service, as it was not an insignificant amount.
Our plane landed in Arusha with almost 3 hours delay, but the driver, Zablon, had been waiting for us that long. He was very welcoming, helped us with the baggage and gave a quick and funny introduction to Swahili while driving us to our hotel.
On the next day, Goodluck, our safari guide and driver for the upcoming week picked us up. While driving to the first national park, we realized that we forgot our wallet (money, credit card, bank cards, identity card) in the hotel safe. Within an hour, Benson himself went to the hotel and looked for it. He kept it in safe custody for some days. This is exemplary for Benson’s commitment to his job. Thank you very much!
Goodluck showed us around the national parks with great knowledge about the animals, plants and the history of the country. He drove very securely and listened to the ranger’s radio to know where to look for animals. Without him, we would have passed a lot of animals without notice; he has really good spotting capabilities. Goodluck let us as much time as we liked to observe the animals and did not hurry from one spot to the other. We enjoyed that and often saw lot more as other tourist groups stressing around to mark the “Big Five” with a tick as fast as possible.
The jeep was designed for 7 people (+ driver), so the two of us had plenty of space. We were provided with cold water, cola and other drinks all the time and there even was a (good) binocular we could use. Extra cushions helped to soften the “african massage” on dirt roads.
All the hotels somehow knew that we were honeymooners and gave us their most beautiful rooms with very romantic flower decoration. We were really amazed!
After the safari, we flew to Zanzibar for another week. Again, we were picked up at the airport. The next day, we had a very informative tour around Stone Town before we were taken to our hotel at the east side of the island. For this drive, we met Taib from “Authentic Zanzibar Tours & Safaris Ltd”. He was contacted by Benson to care for us while in Zanzibar and he did an excellent job. Taib told us so many things about politics, the ups and downs of the country and generally about life in Tanzania. With Taib, we did day excursions to the Spice Farm, Cheetah’s rock and Jozani Forest.
To summarize, we had a perfect trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We are really glad that we booked our trip with Benson and can highly recommend it. He and his crew cared about us very well! Thanks again!

What a wonderful 2 weeks
I went to Uganda for a two week trip and thanks to Dauda it became an incredible ánd care free experience! He took care of everything we desired and was very flexible as well. He knows exactly where to find all the beautiful animals, the nicest places to stay, where to eat, or anything else you'd like to know. Uganda really stole our hearts and become an unforgettable experience thanks to Dauda. THANK YOU!!

Amazing Safari
We just came back from our first safari in Africa and it was above our expectations. We took 12 days safari in Kenya with KWSS and we had a really unforgettable trip. Mr.Otieno was very professional and prompt in replying all our questions and provided us with a customized itinerary.
We visited Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and Maasai Mara. Each place was attractive and beautiful in a different way, we enjoyed all of them. I would only skip Lake Bogoria, because due to long distances and roads condition it sometimes took longer to travel between the parks than assumed in the itinerary.
Every day we had a very good accommodation (the lodge at Lake Nakuru where we spent the New Year's Eve was a highlight) and an excellent food.
Special thanks to our guide Ken. He is a very experienced driver and has an amazing eye for spotting all the animals at such a distance. He did the best to show us the wildlife as much as possible and patiently stopped each time when we wanted to take a photo. Ken took really good care of us and we felt very safe all the time.
We had a wonderful time, saw amazing wildlife and we will definitely go with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris again. Asante sana!

wonderfully organised and special experience!
We had a great time on our safari, we were picked up and dropped off from where we were staying both before and after. Our guide, Jesse, was amazing and I would recommend him and Blue Mountain Trekking Safaris to anyone who wishes to enjoy their time in Kenya. No words can actually describe how amazing it was! Hope to be back one day and will be contacting these guys again for sure!!!

The whole trip surpassed our expectations, with a wonderful guide.
Everything about the tour was brilliant. It wasn't comfortable at times - bumpy roads, accommodation with no electricity for 21 hours a day - but that was all part of the experience. And our guide, Saloum, was amazing - so helpful and flexible. He found us every animal we could ever have hoped to see in the parks, including a leopard and tree lions. All three places we visited - Selous, Udzungwa and Mikumi, were fantastic, and so free of other tourists. I highly recommend this tour, given that it was much better value than others we found.

This was a dream come true! Never thought I could afford to go on safari. But with World tours I did
I never thought that I could go on a safari, which had been a dream since I was a kid reading National Geographic. I took my son-in-law and we both were in awe the entire time were on the safari.....You MUST insist on the driver and guide, Charles.... He was the best guide one could ever ask for. He stopped along the way to point out things we never would have seen without his keen eye. With his guidance, we saw the BIG 5!!!! Amazing trip. Charles was determined that we would see all BIG 5 and he delivered. He stopped along the way to chat with other guides to find the best spot to locate the animals. He explained about the migration, the animals and many interesting things about the Serengeti.
We did the budget tour, 5 days four nights and went with the camping experience. I checked with many outfitters but Richard, owner of World Tours was the easiest to work with and is honest. He worked with me to visit a poor school, off the beaten path to deliver 300 lbs of school supplies i bought. He worked with a park ranger to have us transported a few hours out of the way to visit the school and meet the chief and the students. He also interceded with the customs folks at Kilimanjaro airport when they wanted to charge me $300.00 for importing the supplies for the school. He bargained the $300 down to $80 on my behalf even before we left the airport.
I would highly encourage you to travel with World Tours, as they are great. the equipment [tents and sleeping bags] are good. the food is very good and plenty of it. Bring some warm jackets though as it does get cold at night......
Please......also consider bringing some much needed school supplies that the children desperately need, the best things would be 9"x12" reusable green chalkboards, a pack of 10 is about $12.00 US, along with a case of Chalk [$22.00 US]. pencils and paper is non-existent. You can drop them off when you arrive, and Richard will keep them and have them delivered through a park ranger to the village. Imagine a school where your children attend with nothing in it except some desks and one blackboard on the wall...no books, no pencils, no paper, no maps, no anything. In addition to the 110 chalkboards and two cases chalk I brought pens, pencils, paper, crayons, color pencils etc, but realized these are "one and done". the best thing to bring is re-usable chalkboard and chalk. This will help the kids have the ability to move onto secondary school, which they can't attend unless they pass entrance exams. Its hard to do without any school supplies..
thanks Richard and Charles for a fantastic trip.... Sorry its taken so long to write this review!!!
