An adventure for the ages!
So much to see so little time.
There is no way to descibe seeing the Maasai Mara for the first time. It is an overwhelming experience that satisfied my every dream.
The tour was an adventure that had us seeing something new every day.
We had excellent drivers who were patient and caring.
I was told we did the tour backwards going from the mara to serengeti but i loved it all.

3 fantastic days at Mikumi NP
There were great days at Mikumi NP. Our Guide tells and show us so much about the animals and the area-
The whole process of Safari worked great.
My daughter and me was so happy to see all the wildlife animals.
Thanks
Also the Nights. We stay in the Tan-Swiss Lodge was super.
Thanks

Great for the price
I just did a 3 day safari with Uhuru with my friend. We were picked up from our hotel in Dar Es Salaam right on time and were on our way. We saw just about every animal possible, our guide really knew the park, was well educated, and very experienced. He only did what we wanted to do and was very attentive to our needs. The hotel we were booked in was nice and clean, and very good food too. What a great deal for the price, definitely got my money's worth. Thanks Uhuru!

We had a great experiense booking our trip with Uhuru travel. We wanted to book a safari on very short notice. Mr Uhuru was fast accurate and flexible, organising a very good safari tour. He was very helpful, thinking everything trough and organising the whole trip including transfers. And all of this for a very good price.

Perfect experience!
We had 1 week of holidays in Tanzania and we are glad that we choose Uhuru for all the arrangements.
I had contacted them for the Safari and hotel for Zanzibar. the lodges and the hotel that they have selected could not be better! They perfectly understood our expectations and made very good suggestions to us. We did not have any problem with Uhuru neither for the hotel nor for the Safari in Selous. Our driver was very nice and kind to us. He had very good knowledge about the places. Mr.Abdallah from the agency was very helpful since the beginning until the end of the trip. You can 100% trust Uhuru.

Very experienced, professional and deliver over your your expectations.
Our first contact with Uhuru travel was when we arrived to Zanzibar. We asks for a offer and which expectations we had. Uhuru travel proposed (in printed) to suggestions 2 nights and 3 nights over stay. They explained very well the differences and what more we could experience with a longer stay. Our safari was deceded by us, 4 days in advance but that was never a problem for Uhuru travel. They arranged pick up at our hotel, and the driver also took the extra time to do a stop in the city. Very service minded and always in time. Our safari started in Arusha. There our personal guide/driver waited for us with prepared lunch. We visit 4 national parks in 4 days. (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We spend many ours in the Jeep and the whole time our driver/guide gave information about the national parks and information about how it is to live in Tanzania. Our guide knew exact where to find the big 5 and how. And he informed about all other animals we saw during our safari.
Me and my wife can only say a big thank you to our guide Dennis, that did our safari to a very good experience.
We only have good experiences with Uhuru travel, and give our best recommendations.
The safari you want with Uhuru Travel & Tours
Thanks to the agency Uhuru we had a wonderful safari... Very good organisation, the lodge they have chosen, Mdyona Old River Camp was exactly the kind of lodge we are fond of... The most important quality of Uhuru is to answer to all our questions very kindly and to try to find exactly the safari we wish.

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.

VERY NICE COORDINATION
found Uhuru Travel among many other tour operaters, Abdullah was the best option in terms of $$ & overall itinerary plan. I did 4 days shared tour of the northern safari, Abdullah has arranged for me to join other group with ( 7 wonders co ) which was very fun. Our guid was Robin, he is Professional & very supportive. Also willing to do extra things to make your trip more comfortable.
after the safari, I visited Dar & Zanzbiar. Both I had driver for me & were very fun & full of activities.
all the booking plans & transportation arrangement was done thur Abdullah, I only had to book my flight.
overall it was nice coordination & I would recommend both Uhuru Travel & Seven Wonders
