Wonderfull experience
We really enjoyed our safari. The contact with the company was very good, they answer every email in almost 10 minutes. We went for a rather low-budget safari, we got a very good price and the campsite (Panoramic view camping at lake manyara) was very cosy with a magnificent view over lake manyara national park. Lunch boxes are simple, but dinner was local and very tastefull. We saw a lot of animals and our guide Abraham had a very good knowledge about the wildlife and a sharp eye.

Fantastic 1 Day safari to Ngorongoro crater
I chose to go on a 1 day safari to Ngorongoro crater in the last minute, through World Safari Land Tours. My experience with the managing director (Calvin) in coordinating the schedule was outstanding. He made every attempt to make the schedule work. The email responses were very prompt.
The safari itself was awesome and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Joshua was my guide, he is very experienced, friendly and knew his ways around at the crater!
There was no delay in the arrival/departure times. The lunch was good too and most importantly we were able to see most of the animals!!
I would definitely recommend World Safari Land Tours to anyone I know without a doubt!

One of the best, seamless arrangement, knowledgeable and caring.
Just got back from an 8 day trip to Rwanda. Needless to say, I am left breathless with our experience. Golden Rwanda Safaris coordinated everything and it was spectacular. Many thanks to Frank (tour operator) Taufique and Mohammed (excellent guides) for making this trip unforgettable.
We would highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris.

Amazing Safari with Eastco- OCT 15-28
Eastco / Simon went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing trip.
That being said, yes our range rover was super old and had some issues, but one of the best memories of the trip was a lion kill in the serengeti that we would have missed if we hadnt spent the previous hour fixing the vehicle, so we didnt really mind. filling water bottles along side of the road from puddles to use in case the car overheated, it was all part of the adventure.
some stuff happened that was out of simons control, like a schedule change on our coastal aviation flight from kogatende to kigali, but simon handled everything behind the scenes and we ended up flying kogatende to kilimanjaro to kigali and it all worked out seamlessly.
James, our guide in Tanzania, was as amazing as everyone said he was. who cares if our car didnt have a radio- we didnt need one to spot the animals- all we needed was James 17 years of experience and his keen eyesight. he spotted leopards in trees we would never have known were there!
we saw everything we wanted to see and more- from a mama cheetah and her babies in central serengeti, to a rhino in the crater, to multiple migration crossings walking distance from our tent in northern serengeti.
our trip in Rwanda was handled through Eastco by Jambo Tours who also went above and beyond. our guide Claude was very knowldedgable, and the manager of the company, Catherine, met us on our last day to make sure we were happy.
Overall, i would reccomend Eastco for those looking to get off the beaten track and get alot of cultural experiences that the big tour operators can't offer.

From Lake Victoria to the Vic Falls an Excellent Safari, wildlife, culture and fantastic people.
Just a reminder we did our first trip with Eastco 2 years ago and it was also fantastic, so much so we convinced 2 friends to join us for a longer African Adventure, and what an adventure it was.
Our first port of call in Tanzania was Dar Es Salaam hot and muggy to Lake Victoria,ditto and then through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Tarangire and an old favourite staying at Boundary Hill Lodge. New ground followed, Babati, Kolo, Dodomo and Ruaha before heading to Zambia, of course our aim was to see the two Victoria's. We did.
Eastco did an excellent job from start to finish, well planned, a well maintained 4 x4, great guides.
Lodges and camps exactly what we were looking for. Cold beer of course.
We loved Mbalageti a highlight and the crater.
The guest houses we stayed in while simple were spotless with great food.
I think we had a combination of luxury with the very simple.
The Victoria Falls after such a long trip with little mishap was a great place to relax and finish off a trip, that couldn't have run better.
Standing overlooking the falls and remembering all that history. I had recently read Livingstone's Missionary Travels in South Africa. The Vic. Falls were the perfect end to that part of our holiday.
I won't comment on the individual lodges and camps but enough to suffice Eastco did organize the trip of a life time, twice now.
Oh I forgot the wildlife, villages, small towns. historical sites I could go on and on.
But this trip was not so much about ticking off the boxes but taking in the sights, sounds and smells of Africa.

Charges 200 Dollar more when you are on the way to the safari
Not a serious company. The Guide wanted you to pay 200 Dollar more per person when you enter the bus. Changes in safari program.

Calvin and his team are very Honesty, Knowledgeable, Reliable, Hard Working and Trust worthy
We were a group of 4 people on a10 day trip. As photographers, Our target was to get some stunning images in the wild. The team of World Safari Land Tours did an excellent work showing us the best sightings and spots. They were very friendly and had good knowledge of the wild. I would for sure come again and again through this company. They are very much trust worthy to deal with. I wish them all the best and for sure would ask my friends and contacts to go through them.
