Awesome Adventure trip!!!
5/5

We booked a 7 days customized safari vacation including the following National Parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu region and central Serengeti. We chose to go with Worldwide safaris and Earnest because he gave us a very fair deal and price and was very responsive. He delivered all what he promised and more. All the hotels were amazing and he took good care of us. He came personally with us and was our guide for the entire trip. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and related facts.A specific thanks to you for showing us a part of the Great Wildebeest migration.You are the best Ernest and you made our trip very memorable. We will come back again and certainly recommend your company to our friends!!!

Return to Tarangire Safari Lodge after 22 years
5/5

we chose Ernest's Worldwide Safaris because they offered a good fair price, could customise to our needs and they were very professional and responded to our emails promptly. Ernest is a very nice man, and we were so pleased to go with a smaller organisation which met our expectations in every way. Johnson our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals and birdlife and also a really good guy. We would certainly use WWST again.

Mountain biking in Maasai lands, 7-dat Kilimanjaro climb on Lemosho route, and Tarangire safari
5/5

We originally had contacted Ernest at Worldwide Safaris about running the Serengeti Marathon in November 2016. However, we switched plans and instead did a 1-day mountain bike safari in the Maasai lands, then a 7-day climb of Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route, and then a 1-day safari to Tarangire park.

Planning was excellent and Ernest came up with an itinerary that matched our needs perfectly. Our guides were also very good. We had some rain on the mountain at lower elevations, but managed OK. The route was beautiful and not crowded. Our climb of Kilimanjaro was successful and we then saw pretty much every type of wildlife that we could hope for in Tarangire park.

The trip was not cheap. Our crew and facilities on Kilimanjaro were actually more than we needed and we could have been happy with less. There were some unexpected expenses, especially with the scale of gratuity. However, after conversations with other travelers, it appears that we still got decent value for our money. Given the chance, I would choose this operator again, maybe just with a little bit less support on the mountain.

Great Safari Experience
5/5

My significant other and I did a 5 day safari thru Worldwide Safari.

The booking process was very professional. Ernest guided & accommodated our various requests and the price was fair. He was also upfront about the potential VAT that was proposed and approved before my trip began. I was even able to pay with my credit card which gave me peace of mind.

Danford (Dannyboy) was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the animals and the locations and went the extra step of fulfilling any request that we made. Ernest & Dannyboy even helped me with a surprise celebration for my girlfriend's birthday.

Thanks for the great experience. I will definitely recommend you to my friends.

Exhilarating 7 Day Safari with Ernest and team
5/5

I just recently did a 7 day camping safari in Northern Tanzania hitting up Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. I'm giving 5 stars because from the up front communication, to the briefing, and throughout the safari, Ernest and Nahum did a superb job. They were always supportive of each request I made, were constantly checking in during the safari to see if I was enjoying things and were very focused on my safety. Nahum, the guide, was extremely knowledgeable about all wildlife and even flora and fauna and more importantly he was passionate about it!
The car used during the safari was a sturdy Toyota Land Cruiser (one of the bigger ones) and provided ample room and security during the trip.
I would highly recommend Ernest and the Worldwide Safari team to anyone looking to have a great safari adventure!

Weekend in the Serengeti
5/5

We were 4 volunteers going to the Serengeti. We all had a great experience. Ernest is the best driver I have been been on a safari with, especially with the roads that were difficult to drive on because of the rain.
The weather wasn't ideal as it was raining a lot and the grass was high, but Ernest managed to make us see everything. The food and the car were very good. We all had a good time. He managed to find other people to go on the trip with us and reduce the price. Very professional and well-organized. Recommended.

Exceeded expectations for an unforgettable trip
5/5

We spent five days with Ernest and there were 5 people in our group. From start to finish Ernest was very professional and it is obvious that he is passionate about his job which made the trip so much more enjoyable. We spent the first day in Tarangire and stayed in a lodge in Karatu that evening.
Ernest walked us around the local market and discussed some of the local produce. We then went for a local dinner which we all really enjoyed and thought that this was a nice touch. The following day we went to Serengeti and spent two nights camping there. The last night was spent camping on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater and we descended the crater the following day. We also visited a Maasai village which again, is something a little extra and shows that they really try to give you a proper taste of Tanzania.

During our five-day trip we saw approximately 40 lions, some cheetahs, rhinos, leopards, elephants and many other animals. One of the people in our group was interested in bird watching and Ernest made sure to point out and describe many birds. He really catered to everyone's interests.
Throughout our trip it felt as though we were taking part in a wildlife documentary because we were so close to the animals! Having done a Safari from Arusha a few years ago, this one was a million times better! Highly recommend this company!

Incredible and Awe Inspiring
5/5

Making the decision to travel to Africa can be difficult and can cause some concern when managing all of the details. Traveling with Worldwide Safaris Tanzania Ltd makes the trip so much easier. I have traveled twice with Ernest and can say that you will not find someone more trusting and concerned about your comfort and enjoyment. Because he is a local, Ernest can maximize every part of your trip. He has expert knowledge in the country, culture, nature, flora, and fauna of the area. He employs extremely friendly and knowledgable guides. The vehicles are safe and comfortable and driven by the most skilled and patient guides. Each trip is customized to your interest, activity level, and lodging desires (we stayed in beautiful lodges and tents). You can't go wrong in choosing Worldwide Safaris! Hurry and contact them now! You may see me because I will definitely be going back.

Mr. Ernest Chiwanga, at Worldwide Safaris Tanzania, a most exceptional guide.
5/5

I cannot write a review about Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD because I have not, as yet, been able to take a safari with this company. I have, however, had the good fortune to be on a Mountain Travel Sobek trip in July, 2014 in Tanzania with Mr. Ernest Chiwanga, one of the leaders and guides for our group of 10. I have stayed in touch with Mr. Chiwanga since my 2014 trip and learned that he is now leading safaris with Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD and had his first group last month. They were lucky people to have Mr. Chiwanga as their guide! He is an extraordinary person, very knowledgeable about Tanzania and very interested in the animals of his country. He was a wonderful guide and a very nice person too. I do hope, someday, to be able to make another safari in Tanzania with Mr. Chiwanga through Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD as I know it will be a very rewarding experience. I fell in love with Africa on my 2014 trip (my first trip there). The people who made my trip so interesting, like Mr. Chiwanga, the unique places we visited and the beautiful animals and birds we saw made it a trip of a lifetime for me. My only fear is that continued poaching I read about almost daily will kill off all of the beautiful elephants, rhinos and other animals in Tanzania and throughout Africa and then there will be little reason to visit that wonderful place. Sincerely, Jacquelyn Wilson
