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.

Wildlife at it's best!
Richard was fast with responding to emails. We were a little nervous about paying from Sweden but it worked out perfectly. Nice guide, great chef, wildlife was amazing and the tent kept us dry. The only thing we would do differently if going again would be to bring our own sleeping bags.
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

Sharing a safari and the Kili climbing
I can say that I'm very happy after my experience in Tanzania with World Tours and Safari.
They were very helpful (to the point of lending me some clothes and a thicker sleeping bag up in the mountain), and I felt I was really taken care of. Even my guide invited me for dinner the day after the climbing in Arusha, with his family and some friends.
The safari was amusing, we saw the big 5 amongst many more. The only black point of the trip was that the car broke down at a certain point, so we spent some hours waiting for it to get fixed.

Fantastic Safari experience!
We are a family from Sweden with two daugthers (17 and 14 yrs) and went to Arusha for 3 days safari with World Tours& Safaris Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, NgoroNgoro and Maniara and had wonderful days with lot of animals. We stayed at Twiga lodge which was ok but lacking charm, though had A swimmingpool. Our guide Humphrie was nice, skilful and had broad knowlodge about the animals, the people and the culture in Tanzania. Rickard was very helpful and gave us perfect service. We can really recommend this company.

Great adventure
The expierence with World Tours & Safaris Tanzania was great. Richard, the manager, is a great guy, he will take care of anyone doing the safari with him and not only during the safarin but also before and after. He always offers as help and advice in everything we asked him.
We made a 5 day Safari starting in Arusha and ending in Mwanza, including lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park. I dont have words to describe how amizing it was. We saw all possible animals (the big five and much more!) even a lion chansing, hunting and eating with her familiy a gnu :)
The food and camping places chosen by the company where perfect. In lake Manyara we could even sleep in the fancy Hotel with pool. We also had the Chance to see and interact with the Massai in one of their villages in Ngorongoro even though it was not on the program.
So, summarising, GREAT recommended experience with World Tours & Safaris Tanzania.

A good budget safari
I was glad to get hooked up with World Tours and Safaris since I was a single woman traveling alone. Richard was helpful in getting ancillary services arranged, and putting me with a nice group of fellow travelers. We had a wonderful driver and cook, both Aron and Musa did a great job of taking care of us. The safari portion of the trip was so much more than I had expected, I would have to give that section of the trip 5 stars. The physical accoutrements were rudimentary, but that was expected since this was a budget safari. Our only questionable experience was with figuring the tips. All of us wanted to tip our driver and cook well, but felt their expectations were much more than what we were was told was customary. That is not to say they didn't deserve a good, even, generous tip, but most of us had not budgeted an extra $100 for each person in our group, for each of them. Personally, I would rather pay more upfront, and not have the uncomfortable situation arise at the end of the trip, though I realize this is not the typical method of operation in Africa. All in all it was a great trip; we saw lots of animals, had a good time, and didn't get eaten by lions. LOL. Many thanks to Richard, Aron and Musa for making it happen. P.s. Tell Musa carrot sandwiches are not a favorite. HA.

Posted on Dec 2, 2014Greetings from World Tours And Safaris Tanzania.
This is a very emotive issue and has been the subject of much discussion on here. My view is, has been and always will be that the tip to the Driver is Per Group/Car and as such driver.
The normal tipping is USD$10pp per day to the driver/guide and USD$10pp per day to the cook. This is what the guides and cook general expect based on a full car of 4 - 5 people. If you really like your Driver Guide and he goes out of his way to be nice and show you a great trip. I would suggest $15 per day for the group, by the way we have no right to force any customer paying tips to my staff when doing Safari or Mountain climbing. If you feel inclined and have the cash you can give them as much as you can. It is your wish and your money. Remember you have already paid for the trip.

Great experience
I appreciated my trip with world tours and safaris . Great food, Nice staff. The only downside was the guide. He was more a driver than a guide. Overall, I liked my experience and it was possible I would have given them 4 stars and a half. The owner, mr.papa was really nice and even paid for my dinner afternthe safari. Their prices are very good.
Tres bien / Very good
Very good, i enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for celebrating my birth day at Golongolo crater.
