Good experience
5/5

We did the trip named "12-Day Incredible Safari of Game Drive, Stone Age, Hiking". Season: august. This proposal includes Mikumi N.P., Ruaha N.P., Isimila Stone Age site, Udzungwa mountains trek and Nyerere N.P. We enjoyed a lot this trip, it has been a nice experience. Our guide, Kapande, did a excellent work, offering us kindness, punctuality and professionalism every day.

All National Parks are very nice. Mikumi is small, so looks a bit crowded, but on the other hand it's easy to see animals. Ruaha N.P is far away, indeed, but offer us the opportunity to enjoy a safari in a uncrowded place, where is rare to come across other vehicles. Nyerere N.P. is also a quiet place, and the river safari was pleasant, where we were alone. Udzungwa mountains trek was also very nice and peaceful (we choose to go to the big waterfall, distant 2 hours -walking slowly-).

Camp Bastian Mikumi: nice place. Kind staff, correct food (buffet food)
Ruaha Hilltop Lodge: very nice location, friendly people, correct food
Selous Safari Lodge: Excellent bungalows in a very nice garden... but poor food.
Selous Kinga Lodge: Nice bungalows in a quiet place. Correct food.

It is a trip designed for safari and nature lovers. It's worth.

Sympathy and professionalism

We chose Uwanda Tours and Safaris for our stay. We were 3 families, 14 people, and we were delighted with adults and children.
The organization, the guides and the drivers were perfect. Available, organized, friendly ..... everything was perfect!
I recommend this tour operator!

4/5

We had a fantastic 9 day safari going to 3 game parks. Our safari guide was Kapande who was fantastic. He knew exactly where to go to see the animals, was good company, and stayed with us until our plane left despite being a number of hours later than scheduled. He ensured that we saw everything we wanted to see and constructed the tour around what we wanted to get out of it.
The down sides were that the company forgot to tell him we were arriving at a different time than originally planned and also on the last day the safari company initially tried to shorten our trip however Kapande sorted all this out in his usual friendly and calm manner
Even when our car broke down, he arranged ‘other transport’ and before we knew it we were back on the road

Kind and professional
5/5

We booked a 2 days/2 nights safari in Nyerere Park + lodge hotel. Amazing experience! All the guides and staff were very professional and spoke good English. The safari was a cool experience and we were lucky to see a lot of animals. The lodge hotel was located 15 minutes drive away from the Park, with very large and clean rooms, nice swimming pool and super kind staff. We also did a morning walk in the forest and a visit to Mloka village. Very recommended!

We could not have wished for better
5/5

It was an amazing experience! We couldn't have asked for anything better!
Booking and email communications were excellent and very timely.
Our guide Martin and driver Shabani were wonderful! Thanks to them we were able to see all the animals, all the big five and even the leopard!
Their English is perfect and they were also very nice.
The stories about all the animals were very interesting and full of details.
I would repeat the experience with Martin and Shabani 100 times. I would recommend it to everyone!
Excellent value for money!

Great experience and organisation
5/5

My partner and I went on the 3 day safari. Everything worked out perfectly. We were picked up at the hotel in the morning, got to the ferry station and in dar es salam Kapande, our guide, picked us up and we drove 4-5 hours to the national park. After a short rest we went on the boat tour with Ahmed, who gave us lots of information about the Rufiji river and its animals. The next day, we spend all day at the national park and saw lots of animals and Kapande was the best driver, answered all of our questions and tried to find the animals with us! We were very lucky not only to see lots of animals, also to have Kapande as our driver because he took the time to stop for pictures and took really good care of us!
We stayed at a different location, then we thought but it turned out to be even better. Glamouros tents next to the national park.
Also Dr. Simba did a bush walk with us and showed us the beauty of nature’s secret.
Also transport back worked out very well!

All in all a great experience! Thank you Kapande! Asante sana

5/5

Even though you are in the car a lot, it is definitely worth your while. What an experience! We saw so many animals. Even when you see no animals we were barely bored by the beautiful surroundings.
