Just Perfect !
A superb experience with Uwanda Tours. I was a bit apprehensive because it's never easy to book from a distance when you're not on site, you're always afraid of what's in store for you. But all their positive reviews are well deserved. It's actually quite a large agency with quite a lot of staff.
We had opted for a 4-day, 3-night safari, and everything was very well thought out, with 2 days of Game Drive, 2 village visits, including one Masai, and 1 afternoon safari boat. Our guide, Alfa, was a real gem, we were lucky to have him for our 2 days of Game Drive, he adapted to our needs knowing that we had our 5 year old daughter with us. A rare kindness and professionalism, don't hesitate to ask for Alfa!
Flawless organization, we were taken care of from our hotel, the tour is a change of scenery, the food is excellent, the lodge where we stayed (Selous Safari Lodge) was really very good, clean and very comfortable for a lodge, a nice surprise.
Above all, don't hesitate to spend at least one night on site, as this strongly supports the local economy, and then enables investments such as equipment for schools, etc., so in addition to making the most of this magical place, you'll be doing a good deed!
In short, we highly recommend this agency - it's nothing but positive, and you can go there with your eyes closed!

Skilled and caring guide. Flexible booking.
We booked a 2-day Selous private safari to spend between two connecting flights. A tight schedule to catch the flight home. Heavy rain made the roads really bad, so the company made a last minute change in the itinerary so we could get the most of the safari and still manage to catch the flight. This meant the driver had to get up at 3 AM to pick us up. Took about 5 hours to get to the park.
Our driver and guide was Emanuel. Nice, funny, safe driver and with very good knowledge. Told things about most birds, trees, animals and about the culture. Very responsive in what we wanted to do. He could sense when we wanted to stop for photos etc. Saw zebras, giraffes, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, African buffalos, monkeys, baboons and much more. There were tracks after elephants and Emanuel really struggled to find elephants and lions, but we had bad luck. That's nature...
There was a short boat trip after the first day's driving. Birds, crocodiles and lots of hippos. The lodge to spend the night was titled "budget", but it was really luxurious. Big rooms, modern design with big panorama windows, good food, pool etc. Really nice.
The second day started with an hour walk with a bushman who explained the details in the nature. Showed tracks, insects and what have been worshiped and used as medicine.
Because of the road condition we went back earlier than planned, but we felt that we got a really nice experience and didn't mind going back. There was so much we had seen and learned. Emanuel made sure we had fruit, lunch and water. But skipped lunch himself in order to get back in time, which we did without feeling stressed.

Amazing safari experience in Selous National Park
Having done quite a bit of research on various Tanzanian safaris we opted to book with Uwanda Tours. We were not disappointed. Communication was good throughout and everything went exactly to plan. We had a 4 day, 3 night fly in/out safari from Zanzibar. This meant that we were on the first days game drive within 1 hour of landing at the airstrip. We saw an amazing array of animals under the guidance of 2 very experienced driver/guides. Both Adi and Ramadami did an excellent job of finding the animals and getting up close so we were able to view them in their natural habitat. We stayed at the Selous Kinga lodge which we can thoroughly recommend. We had the best food of our whole Zanzibar/Tanzania trip at the Lodge. Daniel, James and the rest of the lodge staff made us very welcome treating us with real kindness and friendship. The 4 day safari really was the highlight of our holiday.

Well organised, knowledgeable and highly recommend
From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in stone town everyone was friendly, welcoming and helpful. We flew from Zanzibar to Nyerere and picked up by Mr Martin and our driver Ommi. It was amazing experience and our guides were both extremely knowledgeable and went out their way to make sure we had the best possible experience. Lunch and coffee spots shared with pods of Hippos, couldn’t have been more special. We stayed at Selous Safari Lodge which was absolutely beautiful.

Great tour with Uwanda Tours and Safaris through Southern Tanzania
We had a great time travelling with Uwanda Tours and Safaris for 12 days through the Game Parks of Southern Tanzania. Our driver Emanul was a safe and excellent driver especially with all the trucks that were on the road and also during our final game drive where it had rained overnight turning all the dirt roads into a wet sloshy mud. The skills of his 4 wheel driving were amazing and allowed us to spend the day in the park.
All the accommodation and staff were excellent along with the meals we had at each place.
We completed all that was in the itinerary and Emanul went out of his way to ensure we got the most out of all our game drives.
All communication with Uwanda Tours was very good with quick responses to our emails.
We highly recommend Uwanda Tours and Safaris.

5 day Nyerere safari - a dream experience
I went with my partner and we had had a wonderful time. Alfa was our driver and we got on great. Alfa and the Uwanda team were very accommodating and attentive to giving us the best experience! We stayed at the Selous Safari lodge and were very pleasantly surprised by the accommodation, again, staff were friendly and the meals were tasty! Each evening the next day's activities would be reconfirmed, this helped everything to run like clockwork. Most importantly, we saw lots of amazing sights of animals and learned a lot from Alfa and the team about the animals. It was a beautiful experience with so many highlights, well worth the money.
