nice and practicle for familly
safari very well organized, nothing to predict more, everything is included
the tents are large, the simple campsites with showers, the meals made by our cook served at the table ...
I could recommend a different visit near lake Manyara because this safari is less interesting because the forest is dense ... why not go pedaling, or visit the maasai market ... outside the park, go for once to the meeting of inhabitants but always accompanied!
Stanley was a Kilimandjaro guide, and now, he is a driver guide with very skills for observing and finding animals !
Richard gives one car for a familly, only familly, he does'nt add an other person ! just us !
... we had a big 6 places toyota land cruiser ... anley is a very good driver guide !
The compagny deserves to be known, a good and experimented place for travel in Tanzania.

Great experience
The guide, Dismas Alex, put a lot of effort to show us as many animals as possible. Some, like the rhinos and leopards were tricky to spot but he waited patiently and helped us finding them. He tried to show us as much as possible but did not explain too much unless we asked, then we always got very good and informative answers. He also wanted us to start a bit earlier in the mornings than other tourists around, which gave us extra time out in the parks and more opportunity to spot animals. Our cook, Vitalis, prepared a lot of great food, especially considering the camping kitchen. We had a bit smaller tents than others but it was not a big deal. Overall, we would recommend this safari trip, it was one of our best experiences.

A time to remember with Preigod and Sokofo
We had the best time during our safari experience with Preygod and Sokofo. They were so friendly and assisted us very well during our time in Tanzania. We felt with friends all the time. Preygod was very good guide/driver and encouraged us to enjoy sleeping in the wild. Sokofo’s Food was amazing, being vegetarians he had always lot of options for us.Our experience in Kenya wasn’t that great and they did really changed our perception of the safari and Made us laugh and enjoy the wild of Serengeti and Gorongoro. Thank you for everything!! Amaia and Marco :) xxx

Great driver. Great safari.
My girlfriend and I went to the Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, and Tarangire. Ngororo crater was our favorite, Serengeit was great, and Tarangire was our least favorite. It was the last day so were were exhausted, and there were a lot of trees that prevented us from seeing more animals. But overall a great experience. We saw so many animals, and I got some lovely pictures. Our driver (Haleefa) was fun to talk to, and knowledgeable about the area / local people / animals. We learned a lot from him.
I have two small complaints that definitely did not ruin the experience, but I hope it can be addressed in future safaris.
Our vehicle broke down and we were stuck for about two hours. This wasn't a catastrophe, because we were near a rest stop, and got help / spare parts easily. But it definitely made us nervous about if it would break down again. I don't know if this was something that could have been avoided or not, so I can't really blame anyone. I just want to make sure the safari people are using the best equipment on the truck that they can.
Our cook on the safari made great food, and always made the same thing for breakfast- omelettes, with toast, fruit, and pancakes. The omelettes were WONDERFUL. The pancakes.... not so much. In the future I hope the cook can make more eggs and fewer bland pancakes.
Aside from that, I really can't think of anything I would change. The game drive was so much fun, and Haleefa did such a good job of getting us close to the animals.
Here are some of the animals we saw on the safari: lions, hyenas, a cheetah, serval cats, a python, hippos, zebras, elephants, wildebeasts, antelope, gazelle, buffalo, lots of birds, monkeys, giraffes, lizards, and a few others I forgot.

Making our dreams real
The whole experience was really well organized. All our questions and requests were answered as this was our first safari and visit to Africa. Our expectations were overall exceeded and the WT & ST was more than a great tours operator for us. Our experience was according to planned from the start when we first asked the quotation. We had a great cook and tour guide with us the whole 5 days! We felt safe and well treated the whole time. Tanzania is such a beautifull country and we hope to visit other parks one day.

Very enthusiastic, thoughtful and knowledgeable about natural.
We have an exciting journey in safaris. Our guider and driver, Simbo Mushi, is excellent. He took care about everything for our comfortableness. His knowledge of natural made us more and more love safaris. Even he noticed that my smart phone was out of battery and I had no tools to take pictures at the next day. He gave me his charge after dinner because of knowing that may be I have only chance to visit safari. Talking with him about education, social and tradition of Tanzania bring to me a lot of insights. We thank Simbo all.
And Richson, he was so thoughful that he went to our hotel after ending tour to ask if we are ok and took us to Arusha Airport a day later. His company had provided good service and we are very pleased with this. Thank Richson.
We also thank our chef. Sorry because we forgot his name. During our trip, we call him "Master Chef". We like his beef very much, and his chapati, spageti.

Spectacular safari from Richard, Driver / Guide Frank and Chef Zahoro for the 3rd time!
We have a wildlife travel company specialising in escorting clients to see rare endangered animals.
Whenever we do a trip in Tanzania, we work with Richard, Frank and Zahoro.
This June was our 3rd trip using "World Tours & Safaris Tanzania".
Richard is a most gracious host in Tanzania.
As always he takes great care of us and our clients.
By efficiently meeting our requests so we can have a personalised trip.
And achieve our mission of seeing cheetah, leopard and rhino.
We always ask for our favourite driver Frank and our favourite chef Zahoro.
As they are absolutely essential to our success.
Frank is a friendly guide and skilled driver.
Who works very hard to achieve our goals.
He drives safely but fast enough to ensure we get to places on time.
He has great time management and always gives us maximum time for viewing game in each park.
On every safari we've had with Frank, we have had spectacular wildlife viewing.
This year we spotted all of the Big 5 and every other animal we wished to see.
The special ones being a serval, leopard, cheetah, bat ear foxes and rock python in the Serengeti and 7 black rhinos in the crater.
In the past we went North and West, this year we went South.
But Frank always manages to get us the classic shot of the wildebeest migration.
This time we even saw a kill.
A lioness taking down a wildebeest right in front of us.
Zahoro is a happy friendly patient chef.
He is great for he caters to our requests of beef, potato fries, salads, fruit and the best avocados you will ever taste.
So that we were all healthy and well through out the trip.
Especially in Africa, it is important to have a chef you can trust to cook safe clean and hygienic meals.
Frank and Zahoro work very well as a team.
Thanks to Richard, Frank and Zahoro,
once again we leave Tanzania with more magical memories of the Serengeti
and the Ngorongoro Crater to last us a lifetime.
For anyone interested in Tanzania safari, we highly recommend you contact Richard and ask for Frank and Zahoro - The A-team.
Asante sana! :)

Once in a Lifetime Tour
We were very excited and apprehensive to be going on our first safari (not knowing what to expect). From the moment we met World Tours staff we knew we were in good hands. Our guide/driver, Stanley, was waiting to pick us up from a Kenyan shuttle bus and attended to all of our needs/questions. We couldn't have asked for a better guide...Stanley answered all our questions about the local history, safari animals, plants and landscape. As we spent more time with him, we really felt that he is a very genuine/kind person. Stanley was very professional and an excellent driver. He is very experienced with tours and taking care of his clients. We especially enjoyed talking to him about his time taking clients up Kilaminjaro and hiking the Ngorongoro Highlands.
The accomodations were amazing...Sangaiwe Tented Lodge, Kati Kati Camp, and the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. We felt like kings staying at these locations.
Richard Kilonzo, the Director, and his son were also involved from the beginning and all the way to the end of our Tanzanian stay. We met them at the beginning of our trip for an orientation and also before we left Arusha to review our experience. The company is committed to excellent service.
We would definitely recommend World Tours to our friends and when we come back we will first contact them!

Awesome!
Picking world tours and safaris was by far the best decision I made for our first safari experience. From get go it wa sclera that they were the perfect fit for us. They fit our budget, they had a detailed itinerary that gave us a clear idea of what to expect.
Since this was our first safari we had tonnes of questions that were patiently answered by Richard!
From the time we landed we were extremely taken aback by the warmth and friendliness of the people we met! Our safari was a great success thanks to our guide Stanley.. since we went in the off-season we didn’t quite expect to see the number of animals we did!
But Stanley pulled it off by diligently tracking the animals and patiently answering our questions. His friendly nature and dedication really won us over.
Being vegetarians we were worried about the food we would get to eat. But our chef Dickson put in a lot of effort to make sure we ate a hot meal at the end of the day. He even custom made a spicy chutney for my spice loving husband!
I’d like to mention especially Richard who even after the safari had ended, was so thoughtful, that he arranged for a quick hot meal of our choice at a moments notice.
It was overall a 5 star experience that we would recommend to everyone!
