The best safari
Choose Williamson for a perfect safari. They have the best guides! And there are guides who can speak Chinese, which is the best part! We saw the big five on the grassland, all thanks to our excellent guide. The itinerary and accommodation were both great. In short, we were very satisfied with everything!
Trip to Tanzania
It has been a wonderful experience with Williamson Adventures. William responded fast to our requests. Our guide Ian was professional!

Once in a lifetime experience, thanks to Williamson Adventures!!
Our safari with Williamson Adventures was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for and fully immersed in the beauty of Tanzania.
We did a 6-day safari through some of the country’s most iconic parks— Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara - each offering something unique and unforgettable. The lodges we stayed in were beautiful and set in stunning natural surroundings.
Ernest, our city guide, welcomed us with warmth and kindness. When our luggage didn’t arrive, he helped us feel comfortable and supported—taking us to a local mall.
Shout out to Ian, our guide on safari, who was truly exceptional. His deep love for wildlife and nature shone through. He was patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. But more than that, his passion was infectious—every sighting was exciting, every moment meaningful and we were able to see the Big Five. His energy and heart really made the journey unforgettable.
From the first enquiry to the final day, Williamson were great to work with. William was extremely responsive and made planning easy and stress-free with competitive pricing but not lacking in quality.
This wasn’t just a holiday—it was an experience. We left with full hearts, countless stories, and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Williamson

Responsible, friendly, very professional
Our trip was to Tanzania and Kenya, where we were very fortunate to see lions and cheetahs perched on trees, as well as many wildebeest migrating. Our guide, Ibra, was very responsible and kind, actively helping me find animals throughout the day. My iPad fell at the hotel, and William actively helped me find it. Thank you very much 🙏

A great 10-day safari
I recently returned from an amazing 10-day safari in Tanzania with Williams adventures. From start to finish, he made this trip truly exceptional. We explored some of Tanzania's most iconic locations, including Ndutu, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti.
William helped us meticulously plan the route and select the lodges, and everything exceeded our expectations. The lodges were not only comfortable but perfectly located, offering stunning views and excellent hospitality. The guide's extensive knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes, along with his keen eye for spotting rare moments, made this journey unforgettable.
A great experience that I'll come back in future!

Easy communication
We recently had the pleasure of exploring Tanzania, and I can't express how fantastic our experience was, largely thanks to our guide, Joseph. He was incredibly kind, always ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying our trip.
Joseph was not only helpful but also very knowledgeable about the local culture, wildlife, and geography, which enriched our journey tremendously. His professionalism and passion for his work were evident throughout our adventure. He made our trip unforgettable, and I can't wait to return!

A trip I've dreamed of!
Thanks to William and Fredy for the 7 days I spent in Tanzania that I will never forget.
I made the schedule in a hurry this time, but William helped me with everything in nearly half a day. Both the schedule and the guide were very much in line with my expectations. BRAVO BRAVO!!! Asanta William, my friend!
Also, asanta Fredy! Really experienced guide with a wealth of knowledge and fun! He knows a lot of expressions of animals even in Chinese! He told me the habits of animals kindly and patiently. Like father like teacher like friend. He even found best angles to take pictures. Look at those wonderful pics we took together alongside. Top moment in my life.
People from hotels and our balloon safari team are also sweet. I've also contact other operators, but not all of them put clients in the first place, so I would 100% recommend Williams to you!!!!! See you next time!

Williamson Adventures is a professional customer-focused tour operator with exceptional service.
My mother and I had the most incredible 4-day safari with Williamson Adventures, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!
We started planning this safari a year in advance, and the communication and planning were all we could ask for. We went back and forth with decision-making, but William really met our needs with this tailored safari.
From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. We explored the breathtaking Serengeti, the stunning Ndutu region, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater—each destination offering unique and unforgettable encounters with nature.
Our guide, Didas, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly. He had a deep understanding of the wildlife and landscapes, making every moment of the journey exciting and educational. He spotted animals long before we even noticed them and made sure we could get a bit closer to see them with our own eyes. He also maintained great contact over the radio, allowing us to see the Big 5, the migration, and so much more.
As we handpicked our lodges with William, we knew we had chosen amazing accommodations: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge and Lake Masek Tented Lodge. But nothing prepared us for how beautiful these accommodations would be in real life—not to mention the outstanding service. It was truly everything we could have wished for.
The only thing I regret is not doing a longer safari, so I will be back!
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we are so grateful to William and Didas for making it so special. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further—this is the team you want!

Bad Experience
We booked 8 days custom luxury safari. Out of 8 days, one day spent sitting in a hotel room Picnic food was frozen rice, salad without dressing salt or paper, frozen fruit, Chapati with Guacamole that was turning brown. I ate but requested luxury as your stated. Moving forward, initial three days none of the five big one was seen. Other tourists were able to see so they were there. But our driver took us to far remote areas where no other safari drivers cars were going. He never used the radio to communicate with other safari drivers When I questioned and stated him about wasting our precious vacation days, he literally threatened me. Remember Serengeti means endless, large area. They can take you to remote areas where and drop you, no one will ever find you And that is what his threat meant to me. I have copy of the chat to prove it. Horrible and expensive experience. Buyers beware!

Posted on Jul 8, 2025Dear Safari Booking Team,
We genuinely value all our clients’ experiences and remain fully committed to ensuring every guest enjoys a memorable and fulfilling safari with us. However, we would like to provide some important context regarding the concerns these particular clients have raised.
1. Itinerary Changes:
We understand that flexibility is sometimes desired during a safari, but significant changes to the agreed-upon itinerary can affect not only the guest experience but also our logistical planning and operations. The original plan — including 2 nights in Ndutu and 1 night in Central Serengeti — was carefully crafted to maximize wildlife sightings, particularly the migration, which is a highlight for many travelers. Although we accommodated the clients’ last-minute request to spend more nights in Central Serengeti, we did advise that this might reduce their chances of witnessing the migration. Such sudden changes inevitably create operational challenges for our guides and other travelers.
2. Payment Terms:
As stated in the contract, the final payment was due 30 days before the safari start date. Unfortunately, when this payment was not received on time, we were placed in a difficult position — especially since, in the past, we have faced fraudulent situations that resulted in significant losses. Despite this, we allowed the safari to proceed in good faith, hoping to resolve the matter amicably. However, by the third day, we had no choice but to request payment to continue the safari, as these funds are vital for covering operational costs and ensuring the quality of service for all our clients.
3. Food and Lunch Arrangements:
To maximize guests’ time on game drives and avoid missing key wildlife sightings, we normally provide picnic lunch boxes or, where feasible, a hot lunch (sometimes at an extra cost, depending on the accommodation). This arrangement allows travelers to spend more time exploring the park rather than returning to the lodge for meals. In this case, the clients insisted on driving directly to the Serengeti for a hot lunch, which required a 3-hour break in the middle of the day. While we always try to respect our guests’ preferences, this decision significantly impacted the day’s plan and reduced valuable time for game viewing, which is the highlight of any safari.
4. Operational Challenges and Stress:
Our team works diligently to ensure each safari runs smoothly. However, last-minute itinerary changes, payment delays, and deviations from agreed plans create considerable stress for our management, guides, and other clients. We always do our utmost to balance individual preferences with the overall quality of the experience for everyone involved.
We genuinely regret that this experience did not meet the clients’ expectations and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. At the same time, we hope you can understand the challenges we faced in managing these last-minute changes and requests.
Follow-up and Resolution:
We have already met and discussed this issue with Mart during the Kili Fair, where we thoroughly addressed the complaint and presented evidence supporting our position. We remain committed to resolving this matter professionally and transparently, and we kindly request that you consider removing this review, as it does not fairly represent the circumstances.
We are always open to further discussion if needed. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
