Highly responsive and professional.
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!
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.

Excellent communication and quality service
Uwanda tours provided us with an excellent service and a memorable tour. Starting from the very beginning of the process with timely communication and prompt responses to all our questions. Sal was always available to address and question, issue or concern. He ensured an every smooth communication throughout the entire journey.
When it was time for the tour. The driver was waiting for us at our hotel as promised, and delivered us to the airport to complete out boarding process. As we arrived at our destination, we were met by the Uwanda guide and driver who were extremely knowledgeable about the area and all the animals there. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our tour.
I highly recommend Uwanda tours for your safari experience.

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.
