Volveremos
Hemos hecho un viaje de 10 días por Tanzania a finales de Junio, preparado por Worldwide Safari y LuKa era nuestro guía. Al llegar hicimos un safari por la tarde en el PN de Arusha y al día siguiente hicimos un trekking por la meseta del Kilimanjaro con LuKa y el guía de montaña Boraka. Continuamos el viaje al PN de Taranguire donde vimos nuestro primer león y un montón de animales. Seguimos hacia Karatu y al dia siguiente rodeamos el cráter del Ngorongoro hasta llegar al Serengeti Bush Camp. Nada más llegar, vimos un leopardo en un árbol y algunos leones, hasta llegar al campamento donde pasamos 4 noches. Los 4 dias de safari fueron espectaculares. Es imprescindible visitar el Serengueti y si es posible, la experiencia de dormir en una tienda amueblada como si estuvieras en un hotel, pero oyendo a los leones, las hienas y otros animales por la noche. ¡¡¡Es toda una aventura!!! Se puede visitar la roca del Rey León. Desde allí hicimos una excursión de un día y una noche al lago Victoria (quizás lo peor de todo el viaje). De vuelta hacia el Ngorongoro, dormimos de nuevo en el campamento. Camino a Arusha para tomar nuestro avión de vuelta, visitamos el lago Manyara. El viaje ha sido el mejor de mi vida, y ya estoy planeando volver. Luka es un guía excelente que se preocupaba porque viéramos todos los animales posibles y se esforzó mucho en que viera guepardos, mi animal favorito. Vimos los 5 grandes, unos 60 leones, las migraciones de ñus, cebras ... Vimos 2 leopardos y 6 guepardos, leonas intentando cazar, y otras con sus crías... Los leones te pasaban al lado del todoterreno. Todo espectacular. La gente del campamento, en especial Alex, eran muy majos. Intentaban que lo pasáramos fenomenal. Un pais excelente, y todo el mundo muy agradable. Ernest que planificó nuestro viaje, el jefe de Worldwide Safari se preocupó por venir hasta nuestro hotel para ver como estábamos e incluso despedirse de nosotros. Imprescindible visitar Serengueti y Ngorongoro. Si hay más tiempo Taranguire está muiy bien porque hay muchos elefantes. Si al llegar a Arusha tenéis tiempo ,también merece la pena su PN porque es muy verde, muy distinto al resto con un paisaje muy bonito. Nosotros volveremos, no sé cuándo, espero que pronto, y quiero volver con la misma agencia y el mismo guía. Muchos recuerdos para todos los que trabajaron en nuestro viaje, en especial a Luka.

Best sarfari
Our trip to Tanzania was such an amazing experience and truly life-changing. Our guides Ernest and Luka were incredible. They couldn't do enough for us and were so experienced and knowledgeable. They put together a very comprehensive experience between safari, visits to a Masai village, schools, a walk through a local village and market. We did so much and were so looked after. It was hard to leave Africa when it was all over. We fell in love with Africa and the people. Thank you Ernest and Luka.

Trip of a lifetime
Any safari is only as good as the guide you end up with in the Land Cruiser and in this worldwide provided an amazing experience for our 5 day safari from north to south through the Serengeti. If you go, insist on Luca as your guide! He was genuinely concerned and determined to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see in the most special way. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything Serengeti and connected with the other guides and rangers to be able to be where you need to be to see everything.( this is critical for a successful safari) We saw the big 5 and then some. The most memorable were those moments Luca was able to find wildlife where we weren’t surrounded by literally 50 (or more) other land cruisers. Going on safari you have to know there are ALOT of other vehicles trying to see what you are, but we were able to see cheetahs, rhinos, buffalo, lions, elephants, giraffes with no one else around which was very special. Paying the fees to see rhinos in the sanctuary in the central Serengeti is not cheap but very worth it. But everyone does and the rangers assist finding the rhinos to make sure you get that experience. There were some logistical bumps along the way and we had to change plans away from the itinerary a couple times but it all worked out great for us . Would recommend worldwide as they are a smaller company than many others out there so you are not one of many tours a group has out at one time. Just make sure you ask for Luca as your guide!

Amazing and highly recommended!
We did a 10 day safari with our 3 children (ages 10, 13 and 15) and a family friend. Our guide was Luka. I can't speak for the other guides but Luka was the BEST!!! We loved him and would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone! We had planned this safari for Nov 2020 but because of covid we had to push it back by two years. Ernest was very flexible and offered great communication! We also had requested for some cultural experiences along the trip and we got exactly what we asked for! The itinerary was perfect, the lodges and bush camps were amazing! EVERYTHING was great. We have nothing negative to say. The food at the lodges and camp was amazing and the service was super friendly. Our game drives were varied and we saw thousands of animals including the BIG FIVE! If you are considering Worlwide Safaris, do not hesitate, you will NOT be disappointed! We will definitely come back to Tanzania one day! THANK YOU AGAIN ERNEST AND LUKA! xxx

Unforgettable Safari from Tarangire to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti
Ernest and Worldwide Safaris really put together a first-rate safari to some of East Africa's most beautiful locations. This was a "bucket list" trip for us, travelling all the way from California, and it did not disappoint. Of many highlights, perhaps the most dramatic was the sight of thousands and thousands of wildebeests crossing the Mara River in the Serengeti. The Worldwide Safaris guides showed a great deal of patience and knowledge in figuring out how to position our jeeps for the front-row seats to this amazing scene. We will also never forget the thrill of entering the "lost world" of the Ngorongoro Crater, filled with lions, elephants, hippos, zebras and plenty others of Africa's most exotic animals. They will customize the trip for you, and ours was a pleasant mix of luxurious hotels as well as comfortable, secure tents (featuring their own bathrooms and showers!) out in the bush in the middle of nowhere. On our first morning in Tarangire National Park we woke up to a herd of gazelles in front of our tent, and a huge giraffe munching on tree leaves right behind it! Be prepared to get up early and let nature put on its show each day of the safari. Truly a trip of a lifetime.

A Safari you can trust
A safari can seem so exotic and far away that you don't know where to start. Tanzania offered the Ngorongoro Crater, Kilamanjaro, Lake Victoria and the Seregeti--but wherever you decide to go, it is the local experts that make the trip worthwhile. We spent nearly 2-weeks in the bush with the experts from Worldwide Safaris and never regretted a moment. All of their people were personable, friendly, fluent in English and had an obvious love for nature and sharing it with others. They had intimate knowledge of every animal type, knew even the Latin name of flora and fauna and were generous and precise with their knowledge. And quiet when you wanted that. Ernest has an intuitive sense of what his clients need and makes sure you are taken care of. I use a CPAP machine ay night, for example, and knew that some of the bush camps may not have electric outlets. Ernest saw to it that a special battery/inverted was set up for me. Someone was delayed at the start due to illness and arrived a few days late. A jeep was dispatched to get them. Dietary need? Ernest and his guides got it done. We saw an astounding assortment of animals--every one on our list and more. Some of that is a matter of luck but the years of experience among Ernest and his crew played a big part, too. I recommend this company without any hesitation and feel confident that you will experience--like we did-- a trip of a lifetime.

Nothing short of amazing!
Where do I begin? Ernest was the most responsive of all of the safari companies that reached out to me after making a generic online inquiry. I trusted him to put together an itinerary that would keep my husband and I along with our two teens (18 & 16) interested and engaged, customizing it to include some activities that may not appeal to every traveler. Ernest furnished references who were also very responsive, answering various questions and testifying to his trustworthy character. We had originally planned a December 2021 safari, but the Omicron variant changed our plans and Ernest was understanding and accommodating. We opted for mid-level accommodations and were pleased with all of the facilities. The most memorable stay was our 3 nights in Tanzania Bush Camp. Food and staff were excellent, made us feel very welcome and even sent us off with a cake and a mini celebration on our final night. The tent was spacious and impeccably clean, a warm water shower at the end of a dusty day was much appreciated, and the beds and linens were super comfy. What some may consider too rustic for their taste, we found incredibly charming. You'll never forget waking to the sounds of wildebeest eating grass behind the tent and lions roaming through at night. Our guide - Nahumu. Honestly, he made the trip. I could go on and on about how he was professional and knowledgeable, but what it really comes down to is that we started out as strangers and left feeling like we genuinely made a new friend. We learned so much about him, and by the end of the trip, we were comfortable enough to ask just about any question (more than animals -- like talking about politics, education, etc). One thing I'd absolutely recommend - the hot air balloon trip. You might be a bit sticker shocked, but you've already made an investment in this trip and it will give an entirely different perspective to the Serengeti. What's another $500pp? Do it! Ernest arranged a cultural tour by bicycle on one of our final days. The people we met were outstanding, our guide was very knowledgeable, lunch was fabulous. The preschool was a highlight of that tour. But if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't use a bicycle. Dirt and rock roads make for a challenging few hours and my daughter, who isn't an experienced rider, really didn't enjoy it and her awful mood that day was a downer for all of us at times. I'd recommend the tour, but walk it. Ultimately, we stayed 9 nights/10 days and left wanting more!

Trip of a lifetime ❤️
We went in the first week of July 2022 as a family. It was a dream holiday and, yo...we were not disappointed. We were looked after so well from pick up till drop off. Attention and care given to every aspect. So well organised. Luca our guide went over and beyond in many ways to make the trip a memorable one. Ernest was so good in making the itenary and was so flexible and did not hesitate to make changes. There is nothing I could see that could be made better. The food during the Safari was amazing and fresh. ( We were vegetarians). The hotels and the staff were A class all the way and the camp experience is unforgettable. Luca showed us the big 5 in no time ❤️ He explained in detail about the animals and their life. We learnt a lot from this Safari. Ernest is a trustworthy person and if I get a chance I will go again through his company . Totally reliable ❤️

Trip of a lifetime in Tanzania
We just got back from an excellent, 8 day safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti). Ernest patiently worked with me through Whatsapp to come up with a great itinerary. My family (3) had a private Landcruiser (seating for 8). Our driver, Sultan, was excellent at finding animals and answering all of our questions. He found us a jaw dropping view of the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti and a hidden rhino in Ngorogoro. We opted for mid-range accommodations, which we were happy with. The food and service at the different camps is top notch. The highlight of the trip was a morning hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. Its not cheap but it isn't an experience you can have anywhere else on Earth. We traveled from the US and opted to go to Zanzibar before the safari to chill and get over jet lag, highly recommended. A safari is different from almost any other kind of travel. Almost every day we spent 8-10 hrs in the truck, traveling between parks or looking at animals.
