so beautiful
It was a very good time in Mikumi national park, the driver/ Guide, called Davis, was a spezial man, he knows all about the Park and the animals. We saw soooooo much animals and at the end 5 lions, that was great! The Tan Swiss Longe was nice, good food and a nice bungalow. Only the lunch box from them wasn't so good...
We had a very nice safari and we would book again ...with the driver Davis

Nice tour ... but appalling customer service
I must say, I am really disappointing by Uhuru.
The good organisation upfront promised a great adventure, but instead we got an old uncomfortable car that had to go to repairs 3 (!!) times during our tour. And it rained through the roof and I couldn't open my window. All in all not ruining a tour, as the game drives were fantastic and the hotels really nice. But as we reached out after the tour to give our feedback, the reaction was that we were accused to have made things up. Unbelievable!!!

Uhuru Travel Brings you at the heart of the Wild Africa
The tour started from Arusha. Mr Loy met us in front of the hotel and after a short briefing we left, very early in the morning, by car, a huge 4by4 driven by the best driver we have ever known: Abraham. He brings us for a couple of thousands kms from lake manyara passing through ngorongoro, serengeti, lake ndutu, tarangire back to Arusha again. Everything was simply perfect, no other words I can use. Than mr Loy met us at the Arusha airport and stayed with us until the check-in. We arrived in Zanzibar in two Hours. There a taxi send by Abdallah, brings us to the jambiani whitesand boungalows, a very nice and comfortable resort really on the beach. We than met Abdallah in Stone Town, at the headquarter of Uhuru Travel. He is a very good and gentle boy. We had a wonderful holiday thanks to Uhuru Travel.

Uhuru Travel gave me sufficient and detailed information on my safari and gave attention to all my wishes. The tour itself was well organized, the guide attentive and competent.

For a lifetime
We started our tour with a wonderful flight from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro-Airport/Tanzania. Everything was perfectly organized, the driver, the good hotel in Arusha and next morning the 4by4 car with the very professional driver and guide Abraham and his new colleague Tobi, a volunteer. There were so many things to see and to hear, especially the very good explanations of our guides. They knew everything about politics, economy, botanic, animals, natives. And the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Natron. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, we slept in cozy tents and hotels, had good food and very special surprises like a bath in a waterfall in Maasai country.
All in all it was simply perfect. The very best driver. We felt very safe. The very best schedule by the Uhurus. An adventure for a lifetime. We plan now to go back next year and to use the help of Abdallah and his Uhuru-Team again, the firendly Mr. Abraham, Mr. Loy etc.
Thank you very very much!

Our Tour guide Nestor was very friendly and knowledgable.
The Safari was great and we had the best tour guide ever. We saw thousands of animals and our guide Nestor always tried to find the best spots to look for new ones.
The lodge where we stayed for the 2 nights (Tan Swiss Lodge) was not nice. Horrible rooms and most horrible food.

3 day Luxery Safari
Good communication. On time for everything. Guide was great and a pleasure when driving us around. There was a problem with the truck but he fixed it within a 15 minutes and we were back to looking for animals again. Would recommend this company for a future safari.

Mikumi Nat Park
We booked a safari with them to Mikumi Nat Park ,from first enquiry to going on the safari the help we got from Uhuru was first class .We booked to stay at Stanly Copje camp and again this was a great place to stay.
Only down side is the time it takes to get to the park they say about 4hours it's more like 7 hours ,but still had a great safari lots of lions ect. Would use this firm if we go back to Zanzibar

Posted on Jun 28, 2016Thanks for nice feedback and nice reviews. I am just want to correct one thing, from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park its about 310.00 kilometers and minimum time normally its up to 4 hours with safari Jeep. But if you drive slowly then you can take maximum 5 hours. It can not take 7 hours! unless you stop many times on the way purposely and you choose to drive leisurely.

Memorable Safari
We had a wonderful 14 day safari including 4 days in Zanzibar. It turned out to be just the 2 of us with our own driver in an excellent 4 x 4, the accomodation was superb, all private ensuite. The Wildlands Safari Camp in Serengeti was just like luxury camping in the wild with wildlife right outside, not to be missed. Must mention a special thank you to Abraham our driver who worked hard to make sure we had a good time.

Great local tour operator - Excellent experience with guide Mr. Abraham
Great experience to book Safari. Communication with Abdullah through whatsapp to make the changes to hotels, places to visit, etc to design the safari that we wanted for our family (two adults and three kids). No problem with payment.
It was a 9 day safari through the north of the country (tarangire, Arusha, manyara, ngorongoro, Serengeti). Hotels were great. Highly recommend Acacia Farm lodge in Karatu and Serengeti Acacia tented Camp. Everything was as expected and better.
The guide/ driver was very nice with our family. Excellent driver (though the road is tough, he made everything easy) and knowledgeable about nature and animals. We saw all the big five and had beautiful encounters with leopards, cheetahs, lions,... Abraham was very kind with the kids and helpful.
Car somewhat old (Toyota land cruiser), but was ok and had no problem through our journey. Also you should provide a uniform to guides/drivers.
