They love what they do and it shows….
A bucket list item, we completed six nights and seven days immersed in the most amazing wildlife, landscapes and Tanzanians! The Serengeti, Ngorngoro crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks were sublime. We experienced the BIG 5 several times over and witnessed Mother Nature at its finest. Our guide, Emanuel was a delight. Informative, friendly and always keen to ensure we were happy. His knowledge and humour were exquisite, his ability to locate wildlife uncanny and his broad smile enchanting. Thank you Serengeti Whisperer. All accommodation was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The process from initial enquiry with Gabriel to booking and delivery of the safari was first class. Professional and engaging. We saw others on the ground and know we made the right choice. We will be back….

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with World Adventure Tours
Before deciding to book my trip with World Adventure Tours, I read so many positive reviews, and that was one of the main reasons I chose them. And honestly, I don’t regret it for a second! From the very beginning, from the booking process, my travel advisor Gabriel was always there to answer all my questions. He was very quick to respond, clear, and extremely helpful. The organization and communication with him were perfect, even throughout my safari. During the safari, I also had an excellent guide, Simon, who truly made this experience unforgettable. He explained everything we needed to know about the animals and the ecosystem, was always attentive to our requests, and treated everyone in the group with kindness and warmth. Thanks to the whole team, I had an amazing experience in Tanzania that I will never forget. I would absolutely recommend World Adventure Tours and would not hesitate for a second to travel with them again!
Response from the operator: Dear Natalia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing World Adventure Tours for your trip to Tanzania. We are happy to hear that you had such a great experience from the booking process through to your safari. Thank you for recommending us. We truly appreciate it and would be happy to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Kind regards, World Adventure Tours

Fantastic Company & Safari Guide
My experience with World Adventure Tours from inquiring to completing the safari has been exceptional. Gabriel was my booking agent and was regularly in contact and offered support before and during the safari. Our Safari with our guide Simon was fantastic. He is extremely professional and makes guests feel comfortable and safe. He is a great communicator, explaining the plans for the day and regularly asking us what we want to see and do to incorporate into his schedule. Simon is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and Tanzania history and culture and was able to answer all questions and share so much with us. He was lots of fun and had jokes with us. I can also say he is a very safe driver. He is one of the best guides I have had in any of my safaris and I can’t praise him enough. I would definitely book another tour through World Adventure Tours and highly recommend them.
Response from the operator: Dear Kelly, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your safari and felt well supported throughout your trip. Thank you also for your kind words about Gabriel and Simon. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Kind regards, World Adventure Tours

Excellent company!
World Adventure Tours were an amazing company to deal with. The communication and information provided in the build up to the trip was excellent. They were very accommodating to all requests and changes to be made. I was particularly impressed with how responsive they were to queries with quick turn around times for information. We had issues with delays for ongoing flights and they were very receptive and helpful to sort out our problems where I suspect others wouldn't have been! The experience itself goes without saying, absolutely incredible and would highly recommend to anyone to not only book themselves a trip but through World Adventure Tours for a smooth and reassuring process.
Response from the operator: Dear Costley, Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to hear that you felt well supported throughout the planning and during your trip. It was a pleasure assisting you, and we really appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Kind regards, World Adventure Tours

Perfect like a Swiss Watch
Once in a lifetime trip and experience! Everything was excellent and perfectly working like a Swiss Watch. From the first contact with Gabriel over the whole booking process, our countless of questions, pick-up/drop-off to/from airport, the accommodations (Springland Hotel, Highview Hotel, Serengeti Safari Lodge) including breakfast, dinner, and lunch boxes, even without upgrades were great. All staff members super friendly and helpful. Last but not least the safari itself. We also booked an Hot Air Balloon ride over the Serengeti, which was also perfectly organized and an amazing experience. We did the Big Five Classic Safari in Tansania - Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire. Our driver and guide Emanuel welcomed us with a big smile and Hakuna Matata. Emanuel was not just a guide. He became a friend. He answered every question, had so much knowledge about the animals and landscape, and he exactly knew where to find which animal. If we would do another trip only with Emanuel. Asante sana Rafiki Emanuel!!! Asante sana World Adventure Tours
Response from the operator: Dear Christian, Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review. We are very pleased to hear that everything was well organised, from the booking process through to the safari itself. We also appreciate your kind words about the accommodation, staff, and hot air balloon experience. Thank you for choosing World Adventure Tours, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, World Adventure Tours

Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach cost?
+
Prices start at $1,900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach?
+
Around 37 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Travel approach start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moshi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: International flights; Entry visa to Tanzania; Travel and health insurance; and Balloon excursion in Tanzania. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
