Perfect safari experience with safe, caring and knowledgeable drivers/guides. Truly amazing!
5/5

Kapande and Samwel took care of our group of 10, making sure we arrived safe and sound at the Nyerere National Park. They are both highly experienced drivers and extremely knowledgable about the area. We loved the scenic road trip, the incredible sight of animals up close and the wonderful hospitality of the locals. Communication with Salumu was excellent and super flexible to accommodate all needs. We highly recommend Uwando Tours for a memorable Tanzania safari!

5/5

Our overall experience was great. Uwanda Tours arranged nice lodges and a well-experienced, reliable, punctual and funny guide (H. Kapande) who took care of us and our needs e.g. when travel plans changed.

Furthermore Uwanda Tours was very cooperative when there was an overbooking in our first lodge (not their fault) and we had to stay in another one for a night.

Even though the time spend in the car to get from one national park to the other (unpaved roads included) was quite long (6-8h), our guide drove safe and steady and tried his best to make us feel comfortable (restroom break, always enough water in the car, lunch packages…).

We had a great time and would go again with Uwanda Tours.

Amazing experience with Mr.Kapande, the best tour guide I ever had
5/5

The safari experience was an amazing adventure thanks to Mr. Kapande smile, kindness and availability. My friend and I came all the way from France and we were hoping to live an unforgettable experience. Little did we know that the tour was going to be better than everything we could have imagine. Everyday was unique, joyful, full of knowledge and incredible human interactions. Booking this safari tour is definitely one of the best decision we could have made to live a breathtaking experience.
We were looking for a high quality of service and unforgettable memories to cherish forever. Between the boat safari, the drive in the park, the visit of Mloka- village and the morning walk with our Masaï guide, everything was perfect. The staff working in the lodge was amazing, they were polite, genuinely kind, patient and welcoming. Given all this, I will definitely recommend this agency and mostly Mr.Kapande who highly contributed to us spending a life changing adventure. Asante my friend !

Kapande was exceptional, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment, making us fall in love with safari
5/5

I had an incredible experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris, largely thanks to our amazing guide, Kapande. He was not only fun and engaging but also incredibly patient, sharing a wealth of knowledge about the animals, plants, and local culture that truly enriched our journey. His good advice and enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable and informative, igniting my eagerness to return.

The tour operator's service was outstanding, with excellent communication and a strong rapport that made the entire process smooth. The value for money was exceptional. The accommodations were beautiful, featuring attentive staff who enhanced our stay. The safari itself was mesmerizing—we encountered nearly all the iconic animals and learned so much about the flora and fauna. Those three days felt like two weeks of adventure and discovery; I can't recommend Uwanda enough!

Once in a lifetime experience with the best guide
5/5

From our experience the best value to money Safari. We booked the 5-day Safari (Mikumi + Nyerere National Parks). Ask for „Kapande“ as your personal Guide. The most welcoming and humble Guide we could have asked for. Always friendly and fluent in English. He is well-known among other guides, rangers and staff since he has been a Guide for the last 10+ years. He knows a lot about the wildlife and where to look for them during Game Drive. Expect long rides but very comfortable travel. We always felt safe and secure. Overall an experience wie will never forget!

We booked a 5-day tour and went to Mikumi and Nyerere Nationalpark. We saw so many animals, it was an incredible experience!
Our tourguide was Kapande, he told us a lot about the wildlife and he was the nicest person ever! We had so much fun and we will definitely come back :)

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.
