Ideal June safari
David at Vacay Holiday Deals was absolutely great to work with in planning our ideal safari this June. He was accommodating of our requests and responsive to all our inquiries. We had a wonderful safari - from the flight to the Mara to the hotel and food to the spectacular game drives. What a wonderful way to see this beautiful country! Thank you to David and his team.

Wonderful
Just wanted to thank this amazing team for organizing such a life changing experience for our family. We had an amazing vehicle (see picture), our guide Johnsson was professional but cheerful and friendly at the same time, the itinerary design was great considering our short timeframe and the accommodation options recommended surprised me for the huge value for money. All the pre-bookings were handled perfectly by email and phone.

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 safari!
I loved the company! Did the 4-day Serengeti, Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. At Manyara, a herd of elephants literally passed right in front of our vehicle - we could have touched them! Ngorongoro had a beautiful landscape. Serengeti was the best! We saw just about everything and ended up in the middle of a pride of sleeping lions on one occasion. We saw just about everything on this 4-day: zebras, giraffes, lions, elephants, hippos, and even a cheetah. Our guides were very nice and put up well with all of our questions and would tell us information about the animals. They would also accommodate our specific requests - I wanted to see a lilac breasted roller bird and a sunrise... and he got us there for both! The cook that came with us was super nice and made us absolutely delicious dinners at camp each night. He'd chat with us and tell us stories. The company brings all the camp gear, food, cooking equipment, etc. All you need are clothes and toiletries!
A word about the person who owns the business, Loth. He became a good friend and helped us out twice free of charge on a moment's notice when (1) we had a medical emergency at our home and needed to transport one of our volunteers to the hospital ASAP and didn't have any other phone numbers of people with cars, and (2) when we ended up on the wrong bus back from Dar es Salaam to Arusha and ended up at a scary bus stop at 1am he came straight to the rescue and delivered us safely home. He used his personal vehicle and refused payment. Not only was the safari great, but the owner of this company cares about people and I trust him. I whole-heartedly recommend this expedition. I'll go again if I ever make it back to Tanzania!

Trip to Okavango Delta
We flew to the Okavango Delta via Maun in Botswana where we were picked up by a small plane, which took us to our camp. Already flying over the delta was magnificent. When we landed the smell of wild sage was overwhelming. We were taken to our camp, the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. They even managed to get extra batteries for my camera. Even though we only stayed for a couple of days we saw amazing wild life, followed a leopard for hours and had an elephant walking right past our tent. The organization of the trip was very smooth and I would use the services of Cross Country Air Safaris any time.

13 days wonderful % perfect experience in Uganda.
Our trip with Cul Tours was great and we had good guides who told us a lot about the country and the people of Uganda. We tracked chimpanzees in Bundongo Forest and later took boat trip on Victoria Nile in Murchison later safari in the morning seeing giraffes, lions and elephants was great for my first time in Africa. We visited north western Uganda and stepped in Congo without boundaries on farm land. The war conflict survivors from northern Uganda gave us a great performance/ entertainment that non of us from the group resisted to join for the dance and i recommend you to book your tour with Cul Tours & Safaris.

Nice driver Kpande and proper safari vehicle, much better than 4x4
The experience was really nice, a bit expensive but all tour companies in Tanzania are expensive. There was no way to pay online or by card, had to be cash and we spent time in the morning driving around to get cash from the bank machine, not something you want to do at 4am in the dark in Tanzania! I recommend bringing enough dollars to pay for the trip. They need to update to online payment as not many people carry large amounts of cash for obvious safety reasons. Big disadvantage. Other than that a great company and trip! Our driver and guide Kpande was very informative and friendly. We did a day trip and it was a lot of travel but well worth the time. 4am-9:30pm. The safari truck is very nice with pop up roof, lots of legroom, refrigerator, and sockets for charging electronics etc. I would recommend bringing CDs to play as my phone did not connect to the bluetooth in the truck and there was only one CD on repeat, we listened to Maroon 5, moves like Jagger about 20 times before we asked to turn it off!haha make sure to bring a camera that can take video and panoramics, superb views! Breakfast was ok but lunch was really nice looking out on the savanna while eating! Some improvements to be made to payments and music but overall worth the trip in a authentic safari truck! :D

They bring you to meet people & culture.
I live in Uganda with my colleagues doing internship for 6 months and here we had an opportunity booking a tour to sipi falls with Cul Tours and we really enjoyed our trip. The guide was knowledgeable and supportive in everything we wanted. Meeting people and culture was my experience and thanks to Stephen for making our tour wonderful. I recommend this company to everyone!
