Tour operator arranged a remarkable trip and was very flexible.
5/5

I was very happy with our tour. Rickson had excellent communication with us before and during the safari and was flexible to our needs, for example modifying the itinerary after flight was canceled just 2 days prior to start date. Our safari guide Stanley was also top notch - really knowledgeable, pleasant to chat with about animals and Tanzanian culture. Overall I'd strongly recommend World Tours and Safaris Tanzania to those looking for a great safari that will be tailored to your needs, reasonably priced, and with clear, detailed, and rapid communication very step of the way.

Amazing Safari!!
5/5

My girlfriend and I joined "World Tours & Safaris Tanzania" for our first Safari, 4-Day Amazing Tanzania Safari Experience, and it was simply incredible!

Even though we have got a bit nervous at the very beginning, but Richard could still work it out by promptly replying our emails and clearly stated all the details. When we arrived getting off from a 4-hour delayed bus, the pick-up has already been arranged, without the need to wander for our hostel at dusk.

And our driver/guide and cook were both outclassed! Horace, was just amazing, always spotting animals way before we could, even after half-day driver, and without him, we might not be able to spot all "The Big 5" in just 4 days. And our cook was great too! we just love all the food he made, especially the veggie soup, and everything was prepared when we just finished our game-drive.

I could not recommend you guys enough!!

Amazing Experience!
5/5

My girlfriend and I had an incredible time with World Tours and Safaris. Everything from the planning and customizing our itinerary to transportation was made easy and to our request. We had incredible views of the scenery and wildlife. The food and lodgings were all top notch.
The best part of our experience, however, was our guide and drive, Cosmas! He had an incredible knowledge of the flora and fauna that he shared with us on our drives. He was truly excited and happy to be with us. He made the trip a special, once in a lifetime experience! I cannot recommend him enough.

The expert in Tanzanian Safaris
5/5

World Tours Safaris allowed me to have the most incredible experience of my life. Everything was perfectly organised and exactly the way I asked.
Our guide spoke 5 langages and knew how to answer all the questions concerning animals, plants, trees or statistics...
Our driver had 15 years of experience and knew where to go to see the animals even the ones who are the most difficult to catch.
I trulli recommande this local agency instead of booking from your native country. It contributes to the local economy and allows agencies like world tours to continue organising "a la carte" and unforgettable safaris!!!

Superb budget safari experience with professional and caring staff.
5/5

We had a six day tented safari visiting, in order, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Perfect arrangement for our family safari (kids 11 and 13.) Guide and cook was the perfect team to maximize our adventure and adapt to our needs and requests. Food surprisingly varied and well made considering the conditions. Guide did all in his power to show us everything. And we did! The car and tents were old but functional. Best regards to Stanley and Sokofo from the Bendz family!

World Tours & Safaris - Best choice for Kilimanjaro!
5/5

For my personal Kibo adventure, I chose World Tours and Safaris Tanzania. I don't regret this choice. On my six-day hike to Kibo, I not only got to know breathtakingly beautiful nature, I also made new friends. Together with guide Walter, Luca, my waiter & porter and the porters Yuma, Sakony, Alfon and Josef, I made it to Meyers Cave - a great experience, also and especially because of these friendly, great people! I recommend anyone planning this trip to choose WTST. Richard Rickson, the managing director, is friendly, courteous and reliable. He runs his small business very responsibly and ensures that his porters are treated fairly. If there is an opportunity and you are traveling with WTST, try to get Walter as a guide. When was I traveling? Beginning of November. There is the so-called little rainy season on the mountain, and it actually rained every now and then - but it was empty on the Coca-Cola route - so empty that you were happy to meet someone every now and then. Another tip: don't underestimate altitude sickness. Even if you're fit, if you're not used to the height, it can knock you out relatively quickly. Therefore plan an additional day at Zebra Rock (Marangu route). It's best to start in Arusha (which is already higher than Moshi) and take a day/night there before you head to the mountain. My conclusion: the Kibo adventure was one of the most beautiful and impressive experiences in my 57-year life - not least because of the friendly and helpful staff at World Tours & Safaris Tanzania.

Excellent company
5/5

World Tours took care of us from the time they picked us up at the Kenyan border to the time they dropped them off at our hotel in Moshi. The safari vehicle was spacious and comfortable and the guide was experienced. We saw so many animals in Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara including many lions and three rhinos. The lodges and camps were all comfortable and added to the safari experience. Highly recommend this company

Excellent safari experience
5/5

First, the company (World Tour and safaris) was very responsive, and was very helpful when we consulted about issues such as accommodation, pick-up service and price adjustments.

Second, the tour has been very comprehensive to cover many rewarding sight-seeing spots like Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti park. The safari times were also very flexible as long as we discussed with the tour guide. We also visited the walking trail with a brief history of Serengeti and it was very rewarding.

Most importantly, the safari guide has been very welcoming and friendly. He was willing to answer any question, and was very flexible in terms of meeting and ending times. He also knew the places inside out, thus our trip has been very targeted and very lucky to have seen a lot of wildlife.

We highly recommend this safari service to anyone who is looking for a fruitful safari trip!

Thanks to Richard for this amazing 6 days safari. Our driver Stanley and our cooker suko were very good and friendly. They did their best for us and we saw the big five. The food was very good.

Definitely i recommand the tour with world tours and safari tanzania

Great Tz owned company! Would recommend exploring Tanzania with them!
5/5

World tours was booked for the Tanzania portion of our trip- Rickson the owner and operator was there to meet us at the border and again at the end to wish us well. Amazing service and knows a lot about a lot!
Samwel our driver was amazing with animals and knowing the best areas in the parks, plus into birds too! Genuinely nice and so happy to be around.
The accommodation/meals/days were customised to our group and everything was on time and as described! Wish we could have travelled with them longer!
