We were extremely satisfied
We just returned from Tanzania after an amazing 6 days private camping trip. We chose Wonderland Tours based on reviews and very reasonable price quotes. We were extremely satisfied. The driver was very proffesional and very nice, it was an excellent service and a day to remember, I will sure book them again when visiting Tanzania again. Highly recommended!!

Outstanding service in coordinating a trip of a lifetime
My husband and I commenced a 5 week African holiday in Aug / Sept 2013, during this time we stayed in various accommodation (tented camps, resorts. lodges,B&B's) within 5 countries.
Travelling to Africa has always been a dream of mine and one that I have waited so long to embark on and I must admit that I was not disappointed, it actually exceeded my expectations. This African holiday was absolutely fantastic, the best trip ever (and I have previously traveled to many countries within various continents). My meaning of "the Best Trip ever" was not only due to the natural beauty of Africa or the majestic creatures that inhabit this wonderful continent or the incredible events in which we witnessed, but the way that our trip transpired due to the the fabulous and flowing personal itinerary that Encompass Africa compiled based upon places / events that we wanted to see and do and with the inclusions of their recommendations based upon their extensive knowledge of Africa.
From the very beginning to the very end (after our return) Encompass Africa demonstrated their utmost professionalism in coordinating a fantastic trip that not only addressed the places of interest that we wanted to see and do but to coordinate the unique little experiences of private safaris, pickup / chauffeur service at every location and a meet and greet at airports.
I would recommend Encompass Africa to anyone wanting to travel to Africa (and I have) as they demonstrate professionalism, have extensive knowledge of Africa and listen to what you want to achieve out of your holiday.

Excellent service, well rounded itinerary, knowledgeable and first class staff.
The safari we undertook was life changing. Prior to our departure, the communications were consistent and frequent. We knew what to expect and had little to no issues with our trip. Encompass Africa had every detail sorted. Even when we had a flight issue during the tour, the staff whom they had chosen to assist, ensured we were looked after and issues were sorted. The safari locations were over our expectations and we cannot wait for our next trip which is coming up this April.

Independent travellers who want a bespoke itinerary will find Encompass are the experts
We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do, when and where we wanted to go. Encompass were terrific in putting it all together and in helping us find great deals and accommodation. We went to Victoria Falls, Luangwa Valley, Lower Zambezi, Cape Town and then drove the Garden Route to Port Elizabeth. Everything from the Zambian Safaris through to the multiple stops along the Garden Route were seamlessly organised and everything lived up to expectations.

Safari and Zanzibar with Encompass Africa
My husband and I took his then 12 year old son on a two week trip to Tanzania in 2012. I organised everything through Encompass Africa and the trip went seamlessly. We were very fortunate to have Paul as our guide for our safari through the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and the Tarangire National Park. All the lodges we stayed in were of a very high standard and it was great not having to pay for anything other than drinks, laundry and souvenirs. We then spent 5 nights on Zanzibar, including one in Stonetown and the other nights at Essque Zali Zanzibar - a fantastic end to our time in Tanzania. We hope to return again to experience a safari at another time of year.
Everything ran to schedule and as planned. Quality of all aspects was excellent overall.
In addition to comments above, the trip included some side trips and transfers, all of which went very well. Had a great trip over 7 weeks including South Africa, Swaziland and Kenya/Tanzania, including business and leisure.

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.
