 Verified Lucky safari
We came across Williamson Adventure by accident, and we also chose a few ground handlers to compare, and Williamson was the one with the fastest feedback and the best value for money in terms of combined quotes. Our team of 10 people unanimously gave them five stars, they provide the best service. The owner of Williamson was patient and meticulous in communicating with us beforehand and tried his best to meet our every request, and he also solved the problems we encountered during the safari, and even went to the airport to see us off before we finally left Arusha. We are very satisfied with Williamson's sincerity, and would like to recommend it to every friend who is interested in safari in Tanzania, it's really great and very thoughtful!

 Verified Outstanding experience with Williamson Adventures
I would say I couldn't be more impressed with their service provided by Williamson Adventures! William were incredibly helpful, he always replied to my messages in a quick and efficient way. The logistics of the trip were flawlessly managed. Transfers, guides were all arranged seamlessly, allowing me to relax and immerse myself in the safari adventure. The guide has experience of more than 10 year, was really a pro—well-informed, friendly, and passionate about sharing their knowledge of those animals and landscapes. And we managed to see Big Five! Overall, Williamson Adventures exceeded my expectations in every way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients’ experiences make them a great choice for anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. I really appreciate that and will definitely come back again! x

 Verified 难忘的非洲之行
第一次去非洲旅游，通过safarigo与多家地接社取得了邮件联系，William是其中回复最迅速且沟通最顺畅的，添加微信后对行程的安排和细节都根据我们的要求一一修改核对，他替我们安排的最后一晚住宿甚至能在房间阳台看见斑马和水羚；因为国际航班晚点导致在坦桑尼亚国内转机时间不足的问题能及时帮忙与航司沟通解决,后续发生了一些不愉快也妥善处理了；向导Godlove车技杠杠的，我们车况OK工具齐全，路上碰到其他地接社的车辆故障他都会出手相助，safari途中多次近距离看到狮子也多亏有他。此外想提醒各位同胞，坦桑尼亚的中国游客相对较少，中文导游水平良莠不齐，如果需要地接社提供相关服务，建议通过即时通讯软件提前确认导游的口语水平，以免出现与预期大相径庭的情况。总的来说，这是一次非常难忘和美妙的非洲之行，希望有机会能再来坦桑尼亚。

 Verified 7-Day Migration Safari with Williamson: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience!
My friend and I had a 7-day migration safari (River Crossing) with Williamson Adventures exceeded our expectations. The captivating sights of wildebeest herds were absolutely breathtaking, a true testament to the wonders of nature. Our knowledgeable guide Raymond made the experience even more remarkable with his deep understanding of the wildlife and their behaviors. The seamless combination of the safari with a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour added a perfect touch of cultural immersion. The lush greenery and the thundering waterfall were a sight to behold, and the coffee tour was enlightening. Williamson's team orchestrated a flawless journey, ensuring comfort and safety throughout. This safari was a life-changing experience, and I'm incredibly grateful to William and his team for making it so exceptional.
