Testimonials

“In terms of executing our travel plan, SAW was terrific. The trip exceeded our expectations due to Charles and Sarah’s vast knowledge of Africa, attention to detail and genuine desire to provide us with a wonderful trip. We highly recommend Safari Adventures Worldwide!”

“Safari Adventures Worldwide designed the perfect trip with the preferences we had expressed. Our trip was full of memorable aspects, particularly the amazing and very private game viewing with tremendous guides. We also had stunning accommodations, wonderful food and met wonderfully friendly people in both Tanzania and Uganda. Charles and Sarah were very knowledgeable, accessible and helpful in the lead up and throughout out holiday of a lifetime. I have not experienced better service and they went far beyond any expectations.“

“The entire trip was amazing. Each camp was a completely different experience but we loved them all. The staff and guides were very polite and helpful and the food and accommodations excellent throughout. The ability to walk with the Abu elephant herd was mind-blowing for an elephant lover like me. The bush flights were fun and added an interesting perspective from the game drives and bush walks. I would not hesitate to highly recommend the services of Safari Adventures Worldwide to anyone.”

“The trip was well organized and put together by Safari Adventures Worldwide. Although we had a short planning period, they were able to secure fantastic camps. We had a great time. The game drives were the most amazing part. Waking up in the morning before the sun was out and driving out to the savannah was most memorable. We hope to do another trip in the future and Safari Adventures will be our first call.”

“That was the best trip either of us have ever been on. The accommodation at each place was way more than we had we had anticipated. The hospitality at every stop was incredible. Only wish we had more time to explore Cape Town, but we checked most of the boxes. Just will have to go back again. Thank you for putting that all together and making our honeymoon so memorable! Amazing!“

“Thank you to Safari Adventures Worldwide for planning what turned out to be a thoroughly satisfying trip for Anne and me. Every aspect worked well for us. We loved each camp, the utterly distinct and interesting camp managers, the wonderful food (we are both avid cooks with discerning tastes so this aspect was surprisingly good), and of course our Samburu and Maasai guides who were deeply versed and amusing. The game was magnificent and plentiful, with no shortage of unique and moving close up encounters. All Kenyans we met were kind and willing. We loved our time in Kenya. Thanks for organizing the perfect trip for us!”

“Barry and I want to thank you profusely for organizing one of the best travel experiences we have had. The organization and personal attention to our well-being was outstanding. Our connections were flawless; the guides were intelligent, informative, and well spoken. The accommodations and properties were beautiful. MalaMala exceeded our expectations and has encouraged us to seek another safari in the near future.”

“My wife and I had never been to Africa so we relied entirely on SAW and they provided us with an absolutely perfect trip! Karen, Charles and Sarah took a great deal of time getting to know us, our interests and expectations. They were delightful to work with and always readily available to answer any questions. We couldn’t have made a better choice and will be calling upon them again to plan a trip for our extended family!”

“Charles and Sarah did the most wonderful job in planning and executing every aspect of our family safari and we are truly grateful. It was exactly as we had wanted, and so much more. It was an amazing experience in every way! Truly the trip of a lifetime!”

“Amazing, Incredible, Life Changing, Awesome, Beautiful, Beyond our wildest expectations! I was so grateful for all my 5 senses on this trip. Every one was in a heightened state. My husband and I kept looking at each other with awe, surprise, and the genuine feeling that we were the luckiest people on earth! There is no question that Safari Adventures Worldwide is our recommendation for anyone planning a trip to Africa.“

“Sarah planned an amazing safari to Tanzania for our big extended family of 17. Her knowledge of Africa, detail management and ability to cater to a large group of all ages was without flaw. During planning, she guided us through options and made it easy to select the right parks to visit and accommodations. This was by far the best family trip any of us have ever taken!”

“Going on Safari to Africa has been a lifetime dream and for my 50th Birthday we began planning a safari to Tanzania for me, my wife and 3 teenage boys. We wanted to live the safari life of the golden age. But I also wanted something quite different for my kids – an experience rather than a vacation. Charles understood and completely got what I was after.”

“To this day and for many reasons, our adventure to Tanzania remains the trip of our family’s lifetime. All details were handled well beyond our expectations. When organizing an adventure far away from home, it is so comforting knowing that you are in the hands of someone who listens and has the experience, contacts and relationships to make it happen. That was Charles. He will create an experience that is just right for you. He has the genuine interest and the style to “get it right”. I can’t imagine anyone more qualified and better to plan your safari.”

“Sarah has organized three trips for my wife and I to Africa and Scotland during the past 10 years, most recently a safari in East Africa for a group of 20. Her knowledge of the countries, creative ideas and ability to cater to both children and adults is excellent. She leaves no detail untouched and does a fantastic job communicating during planning. She is extremely organized and having someone on the ground, who knows the region, makes all of the difference. I have referred her to many friends who have traveled extensively and all were equally impressed with her ability to put together a fantastic trip!”

“In Jan. 2009 my family and some of our friends experienced a custom safari in Tanzania so perfectly planned by Charles Williams and his daughter, Sarah Fernandes, which far exceeded our highest expectations. Our trip included a trip to Zanzibar, the wildebeest migration, Ngorogoro Crater, and mobile tents on the Serengeti plains, all with top-notch guides, delicious food and extremely comfortable accommodation.”

“We are currently in the planning stages of our next safari with Charles and Sarah, and have been discussing the enormous number of options they are able to arrange…walking safaris, riding safaris, tracking the gorillas…the list is long and varied. Most importantly, due to Charles and Sarah’s meticulous planning and their extensive knowledge of the continent and its politics, we never for one second felt uncomfortable or unsafe. I would not consider planning a trip to Africa with anyone other than them as their attention to detail is without compare.“

“Every detail of our trip was planned to perfection. There was always someone to greet us when we got off our plane, taking our luggage and clearing us through customs. SAW planned the perfect itinerary with multiple countries and camps that each offered a different perspective. We had outstanding service, communications and preparation throughout. Thank you Safari Adventures Worldwide for making our dreams of a lifetime come true!”

“We were blown away by everything and our expectations were greatly exceeded. As Charles promised, it truly was a life-changing experience. The animal sightings were incredible and we could not believe how close we were to the animals. It was truly exciting! Every guide was so knowledgeable and we found the whole trip very educational. All camps were extremely well run and the mangers, guides and staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was excellent. Beautifully prepared, lots of variety and absolutely delicious. The whole experience was unbelievable! We have done quite a bit of traveling, but this trip has shot to the top of the list as our favorite! Thank you to Charles and Sarah for putting this trip together. We truly appreciate the professionalism that we experienced on every level.“

“Bob and I had the time of our lives. I can’t express enough the ease of each leg of the trip and how the sequence of each area was so perfect. Getting to each destination was effortless. Each stop was something different and special and we met so many nice people along the way. The gorilla experience was like nothing I could ever imagine. The lodge was wonderful along with the staff and meals. The overall experience in the Ngorongoro Crater was wonderful. Mwiba Lodge was over the top fantastic. The wildlife we encountered was hard to believe, we felt like we were in a Jurasic Park adventure. The experiences will never leave me. Thank you to Charles and Sarah for such a well-planned trip. I hope we can be lucky enough to plan another trip with you in the future.“

“We had a phenomenal time! Epic, awesome and wonderful! Great memories and made new friends. When we left Mashatu our guides and we were teary eyed. We had the best vacation ever and will definitely go back!! So much fun and excitement, yet relaxing, well fed and pampered. Every flight and detail went very smoothly. None of us had anything negative to report. Very well done!! Thank you!! The food, service and rooms were all top notch!“

“We had the time of our lives, absolutely loved it. We want to go back and I want my parents to come with us. Overall the accommodations and food were terrific. Chem Chem is probably the best place either of us have ever stayed at, period. On the other hand, Legendary Serengeti camp felt more authentic and so comfortable. It was our favorite camp and the game was amazing. I enjoyed the walking safari. The guides were fantastic and staff were super welcoming, thoughtful and nice. We are so happy to have been able to do this trip and feel quite smart for choosing Safari Adventures Worldwide to organize all the details. We hope to be in contact again soon to begin planning out next adventure.”

“Cape Town was beautiful and we loved our time in the wine country. Our guide was fantastic. There are no words to describe our time on safari in Tanzania. It really was the trip of a lifetime. We loved our camps and each holds a special place in our hearts. The attention to detail was very impressive. The camps were all so comfortable and welcoming. We really enjoyed our walking safari… we saw so many elephants and so much more. Our guide had over 30 years of experience and was full of knowledge and fun. We cannot thank you enough for all that you did for us. We would return to Africa tomorrow if we could! Many places around the world that we have visited, none has affected us the way that South Africa and Tanzania did. Our hearts are filled with a love and admiration for the people and places that we visited and we hope to be able to return.”

“Charles, Karen and Sarah with Safari Adventures Worldwide helped us plan and realize the safari of our dreams. They listened carefully, asked questions, and created a diverse and rich itinerary. From the moment we landed in Tanzania, every detail of transportation, lodging, dining, and guides was carefully thought out and seamless and we felt free to enjoy the beauty of the landscapes wildlife. Without hesitation, we strongly recommend Safari Adventures Worldwide, and we plan to use their services again in the future.“

“Our trip to South Africa and Mozambique was absolutely spectacular! The safari team at Safari Adventures Worldwide that included Charles, Sarah and Karen took what had always been a “trip we might take someday” for my husband and I, and shaped an amazing adventure. Every detail from our hotels, to our flights and transfers were handled perfectly! We will be visiting Africa again and Safari Adventures Worldwide will be or organizers of choice!“

“Sarah at Safari Adventures Worldwide made us feel the most important people on the planet. She arranged the trip of a lifetime for us that suited all of our wants, wishes and budget. Her attention to detail in organizing our honeymoon, as well as a few surprises (hotels treating us with extra perks, private chartered flights to maximize our safari time for example) led to an unforgettable experience. The support from start to finish was incredible. We will be using her again in the future and recommend her services to any of our friends thinking of an adventure themselves. A most magnificent trip organized by a most magnificent company!“

“I have known the Williams family since they moved to Colorado in 1999. I worked for the company for several years and thus have first hand knowledge of just how they treat their customers. I can safely say there is nobody with more knowledge of the safari industry or more determination to ensure that your safari exceeds your expectation than Charles Williams and his daughter Sarah. They will address every detail from the planning stages to the execution of the trip to be sure that you are satisfied with every aspect of your journey. I hope to take my family on safari someday soon and Charles will be the first person I will call.”

“With a trip to Africa at the very top of my family’s bucket list, imagine how thrilled I was to meet Charles & Karen Williams some years ago when they brought their daughter Olivia to take riding lessons from me. Charles & his family have been running the finest Safari’s in Africa for decades. Charles was born and raised in Africa, so the wealth of knowledge & experience he and his family have is endless. Safari Adventures Worldwide is a family owned Safari Company that can create the trip of a lifetime for you. And, they are now offering Safari’s on Horseback, which look to be an experience like no other, and can accommodate riders and non-riders alike. I can think of no better Safari company to call when you’re ready to begin your journey to Africa!”

“I have been a client of Charles Williams since May of 1975 when I took my first safari to Africa, in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. I was privileged to have been on safari with Charles and his well appointed guides for many decades and always had superb safaris that exceeded my expectations, every time.”

“I have also had the pleasure of working with Charles’ daughter Sarah in the planning of a traditional East African Safari to view the great migration on the Serengeti and track the Silverback Gorilla’s in the forested hills of Rwanda. That was the best experience we have encountered on the African continent. I have traveled throughout Africa, Europe and Asia and can safely say that the best trips were those planned by Charles and Sarah. I would be pleased to speak to or email anyone considering a safari with Safari Adventures Worldwide.”

“My first trip was in 1982 with Charles Williams to Botswana. On that same trip I met his daughter, Sarah. For the next 25 years, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe , Kenya, Tanzania… it was always with Charles and Sarah. They know the countries and all of the best parks and camps. Africa is the ultimate trip. Charles and Sarah are the ultimate outfitters!“
