    World Adventure Tours has been our go to travel company in Africa! Once again, thank you Patrick for your help in putting our Kilimanjaro tour of Tanzania together! It was fabulous! Our guide, Brighton was friendly, professional and very informative. He really was excellent and I would certainly recommend him to others. The accommodations were great. Patrick’ suggestion to have a tour guide for the 7 day trip to Uhuru peak was an excellent idea. Food was great too. Lots of choices for each meal. Our daily hikes were perfect. We were lucky and saw colobus monkey in the first and second day of our hike. Sad to say goodbye to Africa!”

    This trip was absolutely wonderful. It was my second time in Tanzania and this round everything was seamless. From the punctual transfers, great 4x4, top of the line accommodations and an amazing driver/guide with us. The parks are a true marvel of nature. We saw many animals than we thought possible. Then came the great wildebeest migration. Totally astounding seeing these many animals moving in unison. Thank you Nuhu for showcasing the best of Tanzania.
