5 day Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro camping safari
First of all, we did book a budget (camping) safari and this company offers a really good price-performance ratio. We have had an awesome time and it was defintely a once in a lifetime experience for us. Our guide Frank was great. He was really friendly and motivated to show us as much animals as possible. Moreover, he was really responsible and tried to fullfill our personal wishes (we spended as much time as we wanted at special locations, e.g. we watched baby lions for more than an hour).
The cook Safafour did a great job and suprised us with really tasty meals.
Although it was a budget safari, the camping equipment for the custumers and also for the staff could be better. The tent was good, but the sleeping bags were quite old and the zipper did not work anymore for 2 of our four sleeping bags, which is a little bit problematic especially at the crater as it gets really cold at night. Moreover, the 'mattress' was very thin and a bit uncomfy.

Brilliant Safari Experience
Me and two friends of mine booked the safari in May 2016 for a 4 days/three nights tour. Richard was super nice and he organized for us a fantastic tour. Our Driver Stanlay was super nice and professional. The food during the journay was very good! We were able to see all the animals we were supposed to see during the tour. Nothing has gone wrong and everything was excellent!

Brilliant Guides and excellent support
I am a 66 year old solo traveller, happy to "rough it" for a while if the experience justifies. Having spent 4 days on safari in Kenya booked through another company, I then found myself passed onto the very capable hands of Richard Kilonzo and his team in Tanzania. After a night's rest in Arusha, I travelled to Lake Manyara with the charming Mateas Chuwa, where we got up close and almost too personal with an old bull elephant. Exhilarating. The next day Richard's brother Steven arrived to drive & guide for the onward journey to Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire National Park. Steven's eyesight is uncanny, his knowledge of game and birds extensive, and his sense of humour delightful. After a brilliant 3 days it was back to Arusha, where once again Richard ironed out a last minute breakdown in communication with minimal fuss. If you are looking to see a lot of African fauna, on a limited budget and happy to accept the occasional limitations in comfort which that - and travel in Africa - entails, then this is definitely for you.
Very good guide and People took care of you!flexibility of Company allowed clients shortly bookings!
All in all very good experience for People who are on a smaller Budget

Extremely accommodating
Extremely accommodating. Great guide and cook, clean tent, and not crowded like some other tour groups I met at the campgrounds. Very responsive by email, which I appreciated. There was an issue with my arrival time, as we'd agreed on an airport pickup and they didn't seem to have made note of the time, which caused me some headaches. Make sure they include your pickup time in the written agreement, as that is what they are using as reference. Overall I recommend this company as friendly and accommodating and a great value.

a great experience
My friend and I have visited Tanzania in March 2015 and we were lucky to have found World Tours and Safaris Tanzania and have them as our tour operator for our safari trip that went for 4 days (from 9th -12th Match 2015) in which we have spent the time of our life visiting Lake Manyara, the great and awesome Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater .. everything was delivered as promised .. they have sent us their agent to collect the remaining of the payment which was very nice for tourists who don't much about the place .. we were picked from our hotel on time .. met with our driver Masha and cook Musa who both did a great job .. then we met with Richard who genuinely made sure that everything was in place and right .. during the safari trip we have seen all the animals we hoped to see .. and the food preparation was very good .. i honestly expected some quick sandwiches for lunch and dinner .. but we've had good food soups, salads, main course, and even fruits for desserts, breakfasts had a good variety of eggs, hotdogs, pancakes, hot chocolate, tea and coffee .. before we have started our trip we were asked if any of us was vegetarian so they could modify the meals .. we have had a slight problem which was out of the guys hand .. and they apologized nicely and even paid our dinner and a hotels night after we got back from the safari, i would definitely recommend World Tours and Safaria Tanzania to my family and friends.
Thank you guys

Good experience
I went for the budget camping 4d/3n safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Right from the start Richard was very good and quick in replying emails. He was friendly, answered all my questions, provided my transport from and to the airport before and after the safari. The safari itself as very good. Frank, our driver guide knew what he was doing and what he was looking for. We saw all the big 5 and so much more. However, the safari would be better if he would give further information about the animals and safari during the long drives. He would answer your questions so you have to be pro-active in asking questions. If not, the safari would be a lot of looking around. Our cook, Sokafour was really nice, he cooked really good and bountiful food for us. In terms of equipment for camping, it was a budget camping so everything was basic. But you get what you paid for. I was quite satisfied with the equipment provided. All in all I thought it was a good experience and I was very satisfied with my first safari experience.

Wonderful Time in Serengeti
My family of 4 visited Serengeti with World Tour in March this year. We all enjoyed our trip thought it was very dry in the park. Our driver Frank is a skillful driver. He is really helpful. As for the cook, I think his cooking skill needs some improvement for cooking beef. It is very hard to chew.

Good experience and value
We did 4 days/3 nights in the Serengeti and the Crater. Richard's business is operationally excellent. He is quick to communicate with customers before and during the visit. The company does what it says it will do, sticking to a tight schedule to pack in as much as possible in 4 days. I never worried he would run away with our money or that we would be unsafe while on the safari. I know for many other folks with other tour groups we overheard or talked with in camps at night, this is not always the case. We got what we expected with Richard and that isn't always the case. Our guide Frank didn't detract from the experience, but he didn't add much either. He didn't share a lot about the animals with us - I think because he didn't speak English that well more than not knowing anything. We also had some long drives without a ton of expectations-setting in terms of time in the car and broader plan. That said, Frank knew what he was looking for once in the crater and Serengeti and we often found ourselves watching animals at the right time and place. That stuff doesn't happen entirely accidentally. The food is really good and there is plenty. Sokafour (I'm sure I'm spelling his name incorrectly) was kind and both he and Frank extremely hard working in terms of keeping us fed, setting up camp and driving us around. The trucks are a little old and don't have plugs for camera batteries, an important thing to note. Overall a really good experience that met expectations, but fell a little short in terms of being great. For the cost though, it was an excellent value. You might be best to read up on some of the animals before you head out on the safari.

Very good
We did a 9 days Safari tour with World Tours and Safaris Tanzania and the experience has been very good.
Richard and his staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Our driver and guide Frank has been excellent at spotting animals and really knew the routes very well. We saw many animals and the scenery was excellent.
The food was plentiful and the taste was okay. It did take some time getting used to but it was not bad at all.
Overall, the experience has been very good and we would not hesitate to work with Richard again on future visits.
