This is a responsible, prompt and reassuring Safari company, with a young and handsome boss.
We are from Shanghai, China, a group of 10 people, including 6 adults and 4 children. We chose Williamson because he always responded promptly and the WeChat communication was convenient. Our driver and guide, BONIFACE, had exceptional driving skills and great eyesight. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, including the wildebeest crossing the Mara River. The owner of Williamson's Safaris was attentive to our experience throughout the trip, including the later part of our journey to Zanzibar. In the words of Chinese people, this was fate! We would recommend Williamson to our Chinese friends and consider him a reliable choice. My husband and I have been to Kenya, but compared to that, our Safari trip to Tanzania was more spectacular and left us with profound and wonderful memories.

It’s one of professional operators to offer the safari journey based on the specific needs.
It’s the amazing safari experience arranged by Williamson Adventure. Especially, we are lucky to have Ernest to be our guide and driver during trip. We are impressed by his profound wildlife animals knowledge, experience, institution, networking, as well as pleasant detailed service to keep the car clean every day. The safari trip is applicable all generations cause we are human beings to be curious for a real life world… The safari can be customized based on the specific needs and budget.
Appreciate for Ernest and Williamson efforts and professionalism to make the pleasant journey happened.

Once in a lifetime experience, thanks to Williamson Adventures!!
Our safari with Williamson Adventures was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for and fully immersed in the beauty of Tanzania.
We did a 6-day safari through some of the country’s most iconic parks— Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara - each offering something unique and unforgettable. The lodges we stayed in were beautiful and set in stunning natural surroundings.
Ernest, our city guide, welcomed us with warmth and kindness. When our luggage didn’t arrive, he helped us feel comfortable and supported—taking us to a local mall.
Shout out to Ian, our guide on safari, who was truly exceptional. His deep love for wildlife and nature shone through. He was patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. But more than that, his passion was infectious—every sighting was exciting, every moment meaningful and we were able to see the Big Five. His energy and heart really made the journey unforgettable.
From the first enquiry to the final day, Williamson were great to work with. William was extremely responsive and made planning easy and stress-free with competitive pricing but not lacking in quality.
This wasn’t just a holiday—it was an experience. We left with full hearts, countless stories, and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Williamson

Bad Experience
We booked 8 days custom luxury safari. Out of 8 days, one day spent sitting in a hotel room Picnic food was frozen rice, salad without dressing salt or paper, frozen fruit, Chapati with Guacamole that was turning brown. I ate but requested luxury as your stated. Moving forward, initial three days none of the five big one was seen. Other tourists were able to see so they were there. But our driver took us to far remote areas where no other safari drivers cars were going. He never used the radio to communicate with other safari drivers When I questioned and stated him about wasting our precious vacation days, he literally threatened me. Remember Serengeti means endless, large area. They can take you to remote areas where and drop you, no one will ever find you And that is what his threat meant to me. I have copy of the chat to prove it. Horrible and expensive experience. Buyers beware!

Posted on Jul 8, 2025Dear Safari Booking Team,
We genuinely value all our clients’ experiences and remain fully committed to ensuring every guest enjoys a memorable and fulfilling safari with us. However, we would like to provide some important context regarding the concerns these particular clients have raised.
1. Itinerary Changes:
We understand that flexibility is sometimes desired during a safari, but significant changes to the agreed-upon itinerary can affect not only the guest experience but also our logistical planning and operations. The original plan — including 2 nights in Ndutu and 1 night in Central Serengeti — was carefully crafted to maximize wildlife sightings, particularly the migration, which is a highlight for many travelers. Although we accommodated the clients’ last-minute request to spend more nights in Central Serengeti, we did advise that this might reduce their chances of witnessing the migration. Such sudden changes inevitably create operational challenges for our guides and other travelers.
2. Payment Terms:
As stated in the contract, the final payment was due 30 days before the safari start date. Unfortunately, when this payment was not received on time, we were placed in a difficult position — especially since, in the past, we have faced fraudulent situations that resulted in significant losses. Despite this, we allowed the safari to proceed in good faith, hoping to resolve the matter amicably. However, by the third day, we had no choice but to request payment to continue the safari, as these funds are vital for covering operational costs and ensuring the quality of service for all our clients.
3. Food and Lunch Arrangements:
To maximize guests’ time on game drives and avoid missing key wildlife sightings, we normally provide picnic lunch boxes or, where feasible, a hot lunch (sometimes at an extra cost, depending on the accommodation). This arrangement allows travelers to spend more time exploring the park rather than returning to the lodge for meals. In this case, the clients insisted on driving directly to the Serengeti for a hot lunch, which required a 3-hour break in the middle of the day. While we always try to respect our guests’ preferences, this decision significantly impacted the day’s plan and reduced valuable time for game viewing, which is the highlight of any safari.
4. Operational Challenges and Stress:
Our team works diligently to ensure each safari runs smoothly. However, last-minute itinerary changes, payment delays, and deviations from agreed plans create considerable stress for our management, guides, and other clients. We always do our utmost to balance individual preferences with the overall quality of the experience for everyone involved.
We genuinely regret that this experience did not meet the clients’ expectations and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. At the same time, we hope you can understand the challenges we faced in managing these last-minute changes and requests.
Follow-up and Resolution:
We have already met and discussed this issue with Mart during the Kili Fair, where we thoroughly addressed the complaint and presented evidence supporting our position. We remain committed to resolving this matter professionally and transparently, and we kindly request that you consider removing this review, as it does not fairly represent the circumstances.
We are always open to further discussion if needed. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Williamson Adventures a perfect blend of mystery and action
We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with Williamson Adventures, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professionally handled. Our guide was Tom incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the wildlife, but also the local ecosystems and conservation efforts. They were passionate about the animals and their habitats, and this enthusiasm made the entire experience even more immersive. We visited incredible of wildlife, from the Serengeti National Park, often overlooked species. The best part was how the guides ensured we had plenty of time to observe and photograph the animals. Williamson Adventures Made Our Trip Truly Special..

Great trip with Williamson Adventures!
After contacting several tour operators and comparing their response speed, price, service, and other comprehensive factors, we chose Williamson Adventure. William replied promptly, and it is very convenient for Chinese people to communicate via WeChat! During the 9 days trip, I saw my favourite big cats and the Great Migrations(Wow!). I felt the hospitality of Tanzanian people, and beauty of Tanzania that we never knew before. The whole trip was relaxed and enjoyable. We come back safely with all wonderful memories.

I am absolutely delighted and feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen Williamson Adventure as our safari travel agency. William, the driving force behind this incredible experience, proved to be nothing short of professional and enthusiastic, offering invaluable assistance throughout our journey. Prior to departure, William patiently addressed all our queries and provided meticulous advice on the finer details, setting a wonderful precedent for our adventure.
During the safari, we were accompanied by David Alex from William's team, who was nothing less than superlative in his dedication and warmth. David's driving skills were exemplary, and his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, allowed him to spot an array of wildlife on the vast savannah almost instantaneously. From snakes and tortoises by the roadside to rhinos that he located within a minute using a telescope from a hilltop viewpoint – nothing escaped his vigilant gaze.
Our subsequent trip to Zanzibar saw us being chauffeured by Nurdin, another gem from William's team. Nurdin provided unwavering support around the clock and meticulously arranged various activities for us on the island, enhancing our experience immeasurably.
Moreover, a heartfelt thank you must go to William for going above and beyond to assist when my friend accidentally left their camera at the hotel during the safari. William spared no effort, explored numerous avenues, and reached out to many individuals to ensure the camera was returned to us at our next destination.
In conclusion, Williamson Adventure, led by the exceptional William and supported by the highly capable David Alex and Nurdin, has etched an unforgettable mark on our travel memories. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure!
