Amazing service and trip of a lifetime
A friend and I did a lot of research prior to going with Uhuru. After much consideration, we booked 3 safari days in Selous, 3 safari days in Ruaha and 2 beach days in Zanzibar. From the start, the communication was phenomenal. It continued throughout the trip. From our guides, to the accommodations, to the transportation and transfers, everything has been spot on. I cannot recommend Uhuru strongly enough. Asante sana for the trip of a lifetime!

Amazing safari off-the-beaten tracks
Are you looking for a safari where you are not surrounded by ten or more other cars while observing the lions feasting on a kudu? Then you should definitely try out Ruaha National Park!
We stayed at the Mdonya Old River Tented Camp, a wonderful oasis tens of kilometers away from any other camp with roaring lions in the bush when you fall asleep at night and a herd of impalas in front of the tent when you wake up in the morning. The tented camp is beautifully located and the tents are spotless clean, with a lovely bathroom attached, comfy beds and fluffy blankets and bath towels. Beside this well maintained infrastructure, the staff make this camp a place of relaxation and pure bliss you don't want to leave. After having been in several National Parks and lodges over the last three years, I would definitely recommend Mdonya Old River Camp to anyone who looks for an off-the-beaten tracks experience.
Uhuru Travel organized this safari, picked us up at home and dropped us back at the end - all highly professionally done and extremely smooth for us (Uhuru Travels seems to work with Swiss watches!). Communicating with Uhuru Travel was easy and whenever any question before leaving we got instant replies.

More than expected!
Booked all Tanzania’s tour with them. Margaret gave me a lot of support on everything and very easy to get in touch with her (via whatsapp or email), always available for answer all my doubts (at any day/time!) and not just those referring to my tours, but for everything i need to know before and during i was in Tanzania. She was always online to check on me and gave me different options and comments on what to do. She also arrange all my transfer for any place i need to go. For Zanzibar i booked: Safari blue tour and Stone Town / Prison Island: i had a guide just for me, dedicated to take me around the mention places, explaining everything and answer all my questions. For Safari Blue tour, excellent service and tour!! Both of them a MUST if you are in Zanzibar. For Serengeti, i booked a 7 days/6 nights tour. Just wonderful! There were always on time for pick up, great box lunches during the game drives and always willing to solve doubts and help. Much more than expected, for sure!!

3 years in the making! Worth the wait!
My girlfriend and I visited South Africa 4 years ago and immediately fell in love with the animals on Safari. We started planning another Safari for Tanzania but we couldn't find a Safari that met our budget and expectations. Over the course of three years, I searched and searched and finally found UHURU Travel & Tours. Their travel agents got creative and were able to put together the exact tour we wanted, that was within our budget. Communication was professional and timely and I really felt that they were working with me to make this vacation happen. On Safari we had an incredible guide - Mack. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, engaging and an overall delight to spend the week with. Our hotels/tents were clean. The staff at each accommodation was amazing and the food exceeded all expectations. UHURU provided the best vacation possible and I can't thank their staff enough for making a bucket list trip come together flawlessly.

Easy communication and perfectly organized safari trip.
We booked a three day/two nights fly-in safari trip for two persons to Ruaha National Park through Uhuru Travel & Tours and can absolutely recommend their services.
From the day of the booking until our departure from Tanzania the communication was very easy and perfect. We requested a proposal, which we then received via email. Thereafter all further communication was via WhatsApp with Margaret of Uhuru Travel & Tours. She was extremely responsive and replied to all questions within hours (including weekend days). Payments were made by credit card in advance - all easy and uncomplicated.
A driver picked us up at our accommodation in Stone Town and dropped us at the airport in Zanzibar. Flights with Coastal (all organized by Uhuru Travel & Tours) via Dar es Salaam to Ruaha were on time and luggage was taken care of at all airports. Upon arrival at the national park we were picked up by a driver and guide from Mdonya Old River Camp and directly taken on a game drive in the national park. Accommodation in the camp was an amazing experience, guide and driver as well as staff in the camp were extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Food was great. Drop off at the air strip after one last morning game drive and return flight to Dar es Salaam were again well organized and on time.
Mixed feelings about Safari in the rain season (of course our own decision). On the one hand it was amazing to see Ruaha very green; on the other hand very difficult to spot animals, because of bushes and trees and had some rain showers every now and then. Driver and guide still made amazing effort to show us as many animals as possible and we enjoyed every bit of it.

Best safari experience!
Everything was perfect on our 9 day trip. We spent 3 nights in Selous, 3 nights in Ruaha, and 2 nights in zanzibar. The transfers were perfect, easy communication, excellent understanding of what we wanted from our trip, great accommodation and food and most importantly, our driver guide who works for Uhuru who took us from Dar to Selous (Nestor) was one of the best guides I have ever met in my extensive worldwide travels. I firmly believe that you will not find a better deal elsewhere for what Uhuru offers. Memorable trip with so many mind blowing moments. Thank you so much!

TERRIBLE GUIDE
We started out with a great guide, George, bu the jeep broke down so we wasted a day waiting for the jeep to be fixed. The guide stayed with the jeep and we got a new guide. The new guide didn't tell us anything about what we were looking for, he didn't communicate with us, speak English, and was generally just kind of a jerk. It was exceptionally disappointing for the 4 day safari. Maybe Uhuru is fine but I hope they never use Jonas as a guide again or make sure you don't end up with Jonas.
