Far above our expectations
My family of six (3 sisters and our husbands) just got back last week from our African Safari tour with World Air & Travel Tours. What a trip! Having never been to Africa, we weren't sure what to expect. So we were very happy to see that it was simply amazing.
Elias had worked with us to tailor the dates, locations, and lodging just for us and our needs. He found a lodge for us that was far more luxurious and beautiful than any place I had ever stayed in. I could have stayed on for the whole trip!
However, we moved on to the Serengeti to our tent camping locations. They were actually very comfortable, with great beds! And the service by the camp staff was as good as any you'd find in fine hotels and restaurants in Europe. Great people!
Our guide was John. What a great guy! He drove through really tricky conditions and rough roads, but not once was I afraid with him behind the wheel. We all felt that he could be a professional stunt driver! He also was so patient with the amount of time we wanted to stare at the animals. He found all of them that we had wanted to see: elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, cheeta, leopard, wart hogs, millions of hooved animals. The migration was stunning.
We also were interested in finding as many types of birds as possible, and he knew the name of each one.
All in all, it truly was the Trip of a Lifetime. I've travelled to Europe many times, but this trip was so unique and memorable. If you are contemplating this trip, don't hesitate.

Professional and Friendly Service
While comparing touring companies we found that World Air Travel was going to give us the most days and the best accommodations for the rate compared to the others. Elias also had the best customer service - no high pressure sales like the other operators. Elias took the time to answer our many questions, and worked with us to determine the best itinerary for our 10 day safari. We were a group of 6 and with John as our guide had an amazing and memorable safari. John is very skilled at driving the challenging roads of the Serengeti and finding the wildlife. If you are considering a tour company we highly recommend World Air Travel, and hope you have the pleasure of having John as your guide. Thank you John and Elias for a trip of a lifetime!

Super customer service and extremely knowledgeable safari guiding!
My friend and I started planning our safari in what could be considered a very tight timeframe. We enquired with several tour operators and for many of them it was already fairly late to start planning a tailored adventure for the two of us. Therefore, we were pleasantly surprised by the ability of Elias and his crew not only to accommodate our requests, but also to tailor our safari experience to our desire. In addition, Elias was able to respond to my last-minute travel mishaps very efficiently, making arrangements not to disrupt our itinerary and helping us to move ahead as planned. Our guide, Emmanuel, was incredibly knowledgeable of the area, wildlife and surrounding environment, and we learned much from him as much about the local ecosystems in the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro as we did about the local culture. I highly recommend this tour operator and our guide. It was a pleasure to tour with them and I will definitely return one day and do it all over again with them.

Northern Tanzania Safari
From the start Elias from World Air Travel & Tours was very helpful in helping us to select our itinerary for the safari. When we arrived Paul was our guide and was amazing throughout the whole trip, we really felt like he went out of his way to ensure that we got the best experience we possibly could have. The accommodations selected was fantastic and the food was great. I would thoroughly recommend World Air Travel & Tours as a tour operator and would definitely use them again in the future.

Awesome experiences and life time memories
We recently did our first Africa / Tanzania safari through World Air Travel and Tours and it could not have been handled any better. Very prompt in responses and email handling, Elias ensured that he tailor-made the safari according to our taste. Since ours was a last minute confirmation, some hotels which we wanted were full but Elias gave excellent alternative options.
To top it all, John ,the driver guide was equally efficient and knew where to find the best wildlife. His knowledge on the animals and wildlife was remarkable as well.
In Zanzibar, Job our local guide gave a wonderful tour of the Old Stone town and was very prompt. His choice of the floating restaurant as a viewing point to watch the last sunset of our vacation was super.
Would highly recommend using world as your safari and ticketing partner. Rates are competitive, highly personalised service and wonderful knowledgeable guides.

Made our 1st Safari in Tanzania Most Memorable...
From the time bookings we made, Elias Djenga from World Air Travel & Tours gave us the best recommendations and was very accommodating with all our changes & requests as we were a group of 8 going on a 7 day tight packed schedule safari. We were provided with 2 guides Focus Charmy & Madava, they made our 7 days entertaining, comfortable, friendly & warm. They were also very well informed about the animals and knew exactly where to go to get the best viewing / gaming experience. We saw the BIG FIVE and much more through our journey covering Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire. In addition we made a stop over at a Maasai Village on Day 2 and the morning of Day 3 with a most memorable Hot Air Balloon Ride. On arrival & departure from Arusha town, would highly recommend the Mount Meru Game Lodge & Sanctuary. In the Serengeti the Kisura Serengeti Tented Camp is basic but with great service from very friendly & accommodating staff.
When i go back to Tanzania again, rest assured it will be with this company again !

Best place to Safari with a very reliable team!
We had a large group of 8 arriving from different countries and things went very smoothly with the help of Elias Njenga, who helped us work through our itinerary at odd hours of the day and night!. Our drivers were Focus and Madava and they were excellent in spotting the animals as well as knowledgeable about the plants and birds. They also helped us understand what the customs of the people were and how the conservation worked in that area. Good company too! Thoroughly enjoyable! We went to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire . Also managed to do a Hot Air Balloon ride over the Serengeti which ended with a champagne breakfast - I thoroughly recommend it! In Arusha the Mount Meru Game Lodge was a wonderful place to arrive and leave from. At Kisura Tented camp it was basic but fun. The staff were excellent! I will definitely be back!

Amazing holiday
From beginning to end, the people in this agency (manager and staff) were courteous, responsive, accommodating and helpful. Their attentions really made a difference in our trip.
Having arranged it only a week before arriving to Tanzania, we were pleasantly surprised with the great service, fantastic accommodation (luxury tented camps) and friendly/experienced staff. Everything ran smoothy with the help of the agency manager Elias (who helped sort out the situation when the plane of my friend was delayed half a day in Kenia!) and our guide Emanuel (who made us -two women travelling alone- feel always safe and cared for).
All in all we had a magnificent experience during our 8 day safari and we would recommend World Air Travel & Tours to anyone wishing to travel around the North (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti) of the wonderful Tanzania.

Great experience, from start to finish!
I booked a safari through northern Tanzania for 10 days with this company after it being referred to me by a colleague. Initial e-mail correspondence with Elias was smooth and friendly; it was easy to come up with a nice itinerary. Once landed in Tanzania, I was welcomed by John the driver, who was to be my guide, driver and most of all, my buddy during the coming days. Thanks to John, my safari exceeded my expectations, and I would like to thank him again for his professionalism, good humor and fascinating stories about local wildlife and culture. If you book a safari with this company, make sure you ask John as your driver!
