Fantastic tour
Fantastic tour; really advised. Particularly for those seeking a one-day safari while in Zanzibar. Taxi pickup from your accommodation, same-day flight, and six hours of safari in stunning Mikumi Park are all included in the price. Tanzania's greatest price. Excellent support and attendance from the safari driver/guide.

Bad experience
Still waiting for a $ 1250 refund since 2020
At each reminder, we always receive a response that the balance will be refunded quickly. To date, we have not received the amount due to us.

Consisten Communication
Abdullah was great to deal with. We had multiple conversations via WhatsApp prior to my departure for Tanzania and once I landed.
I find it a bit hard to leave a review because I know from talking to the others in our safari vehicle we all came from 3 different tour companies so I cant say if you will get the same driver, vehicle or cook. However, our driver Jonas (Yonas) and the vehicle he had at the time were amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his desire and ability to make sure we had front row seats at all the best sightings and his care and attention to our enjoyment. It was a magical trip, one I would do again. Ngorongoro was probably my favorite, though the Serengeti was also mind blowing.
The 'rustic' camps were fun and fit well with my desire to be camping rather than in a lodge. The food was great, nothing fancy but always tasted good. Get used to variations of Rice, Chicken and Vegetables.
My only real complaint was the amount of time I spent and number of texts back and forth with Godwin, the contact in Arusha. It really frustrated me. I had arranged with Abdullah for a pickup in Arusha that I was told was "perfectly fine", however over the course of nearly a day I had dozens of text messages with Godwin claiming it was not an easy pickup location and I should find my own way to a pickup point. ie Pay my own money and find my way via taxi / tuk tuk to a location in a city I have no knowledge of, instead of them finding me in a city they knew. It wasn't until I had my hotel call Godwin in person that we finally convinced him to pick me up. After that, everything was good.

One Day Miracle
Travelled to Selous-Nyerere from Zanzibar for a one-day safari.
It was one of our best day in our life with many happiness and great menories.
Travel Agency:
Everything was clear and all the things we agreed happened in time and we felt ourselves safe from the first time we started to speak with them until the last minute we arrived back to our hotel. Mr. Abdallah was 100% correct and helpful during all the time. Any questions or misunderstandable situation came they’ve solved it very quickly.
5/5
Tour Guide:
Our tour guide was Mr. Alfa during our Selous-Nyerere game drive and we can’t be more satisfied. His knowledge of nature and his kindness is outstanding. He did everything for us to see as many animals as we can (drove to the places he knows very well) and the day was very succesful. What a lovely guy!
5/5
Selous-Nyerere:
However this National Park of Tanzania is not as popular as Serengeti this landscape is more than beautiful.
The biggest National Park in Africa with all kind of landscapes like savanna, mangrove, jungle, riverside etc.
Only in one day we saw almost every famous animals like;
Lions, Elephants, Hyenas, Zebras, Giraffes, Baboons, Impalas, Hippos, Crocodiles, ,,Pumba,, and other Monkeys also
Only can recommend this place to see various animals in various enviroment!
5/5
Summary:
I only would like to recommend to everyone who is in Tanzania/Zanzibar to have at least one fantastic day in the nature with a safari tour! It will worth it 100%!
Reach out from your comfort zone and let’s trust in the local people to take you to the world of dreams!

Professional, responsive and easy to deal with
Wow, where do we start? It was such an incredible experience and these guys know what they are doing! From the moment we were picked up from the hotel to the moment we arrived back, we felt in safe hands. The safari driver Felix was super relaxed, a considerate driver and very knowledgeable. He showed us the most incredible animals and took the time to explain small details about them and we saw everything, lions, elephant's, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocks, wilder beast, water lizard, monkeys, baboons, pumbas, antelopes and loads more! They managed to show us it all whilst also being calm and non-intrusive to the animals! Can highly recommend!

Dream honeymoon
From the first contact Mr. Abdallah understood what we were looking for and made a balanced plan according to our request. Mr. Abdallah was always very helpful and replied to our questions swiftly and professionally.
Thanks to Uhuru Travel we were able to experience adventure and comfort at the same time by staying in tended camps and lodges where the staff was always friendly and the food was delicious, specially at Julia’s River Camp in Kenya, Tanzanice Farm Lodge in Tanzania and Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel in Zanzibar.
Our guides, Jeremy in Kenya and Festo in Tanzania, were both very knowledgeable about the parks and the animal behaviors, allowing us to see even more animals than we had imagined. They were also very friendly and mindful of our wellbeing and needs, making balanced plans with longer game drive days and shorter days that allowed us to rest and relax. Also in Zanzibar, the commute from the airport to the hotel and vice versa were accounted for, allowing us to fully relax on the last days of our trip.
We definitely recommend the services provided by Uhuru Travel, and we look forward to future trips. Thank you!
