Excellent, I would use this company again.
We had a great time with this company. Our guide, China, was the best part about it. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He made sure that we saw as many animals as possible, and even would call other guides in the area to make sure we got the best experience. The food and our cook were also amazing! He adjusted the menu to our friend who is vegetarian, and made her a few dishes just for her when we had meat for a meal.
My only issue with the experience, was that when we had first signed up for a car, we were told that we would be in a private car for the 4 of us traveling together. When we got to Arusha and were picked up, we were told that we were picking up 2 other people. Luckily the couple turned out to be great and were a great addition to our trip, but having been promised a private car, and then having to share was a little frustrating.
Overall I would travel with this company again. They were helpful in the sign up process, excellent communication the whole time, and the safari was amazing.

Posted on Jun 24, 2019Thanks for traveling with us and we are happy you enjoyed your safari with us. I just want to make one thing clear. The safari you did was basic camping sharing safari and we have right to admit any person coming even a day before departure to safari only we keep the group to be 4 maximum participants for a normal safari Jeep and 6 maximum for extended Safari Jeep. Since we are excepting even single client at all the time then we can increase the number anytime provided we will remain at our maximum numbers of 4 to 6 but not more than that number. Any one booking basic camping sharing safari must know that there is no private safari we can bring anyone on board anytime.

rememberable wildlife experience
- safari itself was great, saw all animals i wanted
- kilimanjaro hike was also good, but with sub contractor companies (not uhuru travel)
- organization of uhuru was not on point, i was left in the dark sometimes until a few hours before the trip.
-communications inbetween the tour operators was lackluster
still had a good time, would plan differently next time, i guess i got experiences equal to money spend, it was budget after all
first africa experience so dont know if this is standard procedure

Posted on Jul 10, 2019We are happy you had good time to enjoy your safari and experience African wildlife! Sorry we did not inform you before but your group to safari changes travel dates and since we had given you confirmation as solo traveler we thought was wise not to cancel your safari but find an alternative means to make sure you do your safari as planed.

Smooth operation! Helpful and communicative staff.
The service was great. They booked me with a Safari operator called Three Wonders.
The overall experience was amazing. 4 day safari tour went as planned without any hiccups.
The team was very friendly and communicative, whenever I required help or had questions.

Great safari!
Our safari with Uhuru travels was great! We had a super guide/driver and saw a lot of animals; big four and more! Communication with Margaret was quick and easy. The campsites were nice, it's an exciting experience to sleep surrounded by animals (even though the matrasses were not very comfortabel- but it was a budget
camping safari, so expected). When we had an issue with our itinerary, that was dealt with fast and good. We would definitely recommend Uhuru travels!

Serengeti, Lake Natron, Zanzibar
We had an amazing experience with Uhuru Travel. Our accommodations, tent camps and lodges, were very comfortable. In the tent camps we had elephants, lions, hyenas and zebras around us you could hear through the tent walls, but we always felt safe. Our driver, John, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and found us animals like leopards feeding in the trees, or lions stalking buffalo, that we would have missed looking for ourselves. The first thing we did was forget our camera in the car that took us from the airport in Arusha to our hotel but Mr. Loy made a call to our driver and he found it and delivered it to our hotel the next morning. Uhuru Travel did a wonderful job for our safari.

great safari in Tanzania Southern parks
we enjoyed 5 days safari with family in Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha. The organisation was just perfect, the guide Miriam very nice and the driver an expert despite the roads! they took very good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Only downside if I may was the car which already went through many safaris and was a litle old... thanks to the great driver we never felt in danger though!
Margaret who booked all the accomodation for us always made sure everything was going well and that was very much appreciated as we could add a visit in Zanazibar at the last minute!

Two days filled with impressions
The trip to Tanzania will be remembered by me and my friends for a long time. We have never had such a bright journey before.
When we were going to Zanzibar, we knew right away that we had to go on safari.
Our choice fell on Uhuru Travel & Tours and we did not lose.
Abdullah selected the optimal program for us for 2 days. Always available via WhatsApp for coordination and always very responsive.
A huge thank you to him, his entire team and our funny guide-driver who accompanied us all the days of the safari.
Our first day on safari turned out to be more vivid, perhaps. Our small group was the first to discover the pride of the lion, which had not been seen by the others for several days. A rich program, a stop for the night at a hotel in the Mikumi Park, and most importantly, we managed to see almost all the animals.
It was a bright trip, well organized. Getting to know Tanzania was a great experience.
Thank you very much!

Well organized, Uhuru Travel has a lot of knowledge on Tanzania providing a great safari experience!
Uhuru has organized a trip from Dar Es Salaam to Ruaha National Park. The walking safari was the highlight of the trip encountering crocodiles and hippo's from very close distance. Lodge was very nice and well located. All, including air travel, was organized very well and is was a very nice experience.

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
