Amazing experience thanks to Uwanda Tours and Safaris, and specially our guide, Kapande
5/5

Communication with the company was very good from the start. It was nice and easy creating our itinerary with them as they always found a way to adapt every activity to how/when we wanted to do it (This wasn’t possible with other companies we spoke to before).
A very special mention to our safari guide Kapande, because honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better person for our first safari and honeymoon trip.
Kapande is very attentive, helpful and friendly, he always made sure we were comfortable and safe, he made our experience really fun and we learn so much from him! You can tell he loves what he does and he knows so much about the animals and the parks! He did everything he could for us to see the animals we were most interested in.
We were truly sad to say goodbye to him after our 5 days safari but now we know we have a friend in Tanzania.
Thank you Uwanda Tours and thank you Kapande!
Asante Sana…and HAKUNA MATATA! 🙂

Reliable and hassle-free tour operator
5/5

Uwanda Tours was a great tour operator. Booking onto the safari was easy and we were in communication with Salumu up until the tour. We didn't have to worry about anything on the trip as it was all planned out for us.

Our driver Kapande was really great. He was very reliable and always picked us up on time. He drove over difficult terrain without a problem. He gave us a lot of information about the animals, plants, and local culture and was always happy to answer questions and stop the vehicle so we could take photos.

The tour itself was very enjoyable. We went in low season when there was a lot of vegetation after all the rain, so it was harder to see animals. Nevertheless, on the boat safari we saw hippos, crocodiles, iguanas, and lots of birds, and on the game drive we saw lots of giraffes, impala, buffalo, baboons, wildebeest, and more hippos. We also got a chance to visit a Maasai village, which was an interesting insight into local culture. The walking safari was led by the very charismatic BB who described the native plants and insects in a way that we will never forget!

Overall, the tour was very good value for money, as all accommodation, food, and park entrance fees were included.

Highly responsive and professional.
5/5

Our recent adventure to Nyere National Park was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of lush wilderness and rivers, this park offered a captivating blend of wildlife, landscapes, tranquility and a rejuvenating escape from the bustle of daily life. Nyere National Park boasts a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna, and we were fortunate to witness some of its most iconic residents, including Lions, Hyenas, Hippos, Crocodiles, Gireffes, Zebras, elephats and many more.

We chose Uwanda Tours after careful consideration of several tour operators, focusing on factors like pricing, responsiveness, and integrity. Our decision was rewarded with an exceptional journey guided by Kapande, whose expertise and friendly demeanor truly elevated our experience. Whether it was skillfully spotting elusive wildlife or exploring hidden trails, Kapande's expertise brought each encounter to life. In fact, it was Kapande's keen eye and knowledge that allowed us the incredible privilege of witnessing a majestic lion pride during our tour. His commitment to safety and responsible tourism was eveident when he advised against getting too close to elephants (or other wildlife) to trigger an elephant charge, a critical aspect of his approach that few other guides overlooked.

Great experience all round. Easy company to deal with and our guide Kapande was great!
5/5

Great experience from start to finish! Our guide Kapande was friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be with for the 3 days. He made extra effort to make sure we saw all the animals and was punctual when taking us to our river safari, walking safari, and village tour. Would highly recommend.
