Exellent
The safari was exactly as described in the program.
The accommodations were amazingly beautiful and clean.
The driver was always on time. The staff were very nice and answered all my questions very quickly.
We were very surprised how everything worked out excellent.
I can highly recommend this company
Thank you very much !!!
A trip to remember!
Lets start off with the positives...
Communication went really went, I also received a reply on the day. Which was great.
Our guide and driver Abraham was fantastic!!! He was really friendly and made our safari something we will never ever forget! Thanks Abraham!! We saw and learnt so much from him!
There are some negatives however,
After receiving the quote and saying yes, we were told that there was a mistake in the price.
One of the places we chose to stay was further away, of which we were unaware of. Uhuru did not know of this either and we therefore had to pay 100 Dollars extra for our transfer. We found this out on the day we arrived. This is something I think could have been avoided if researched prior to our arrival or maybe when making up the itinerary.
Some of the paperwork had not been done timeously so we missed a few hours on 2 days due to waits at the gate waiting for paperwork to be submitted.
Despite the negatives, this was a trip of lifetime and something we will cherish forever. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives but if Uhuru could improve on those small things it will only benefit them. It was definitely a trip we could not have done on our own!
Thanks Uhuru and most of all Abraham for the most amazing trip!

Perfect service
We decided to go safari 3 days before we leave Zanzibar. it was like a last minute decision. They replied my request from safaribookings in minutes with a perfectly detailed offer. After chatting with Abdallah on whatsapp we decided to take the offer. We paid via credid card. Then the dream started. There is a plane from Zanzibar to Selous. They take yoy from plane and you directly go car safari. So i reccomend you just to take back packs. We had trouble to carry our luggage. We ve seen Lion , Elephant , Croc , Hyppo , Giraffe , Hyenna and even African wild dogs. The camp we stayed was perfect. The other day tge river boat tour was also amazing. I strongly reccomend Uhuru tours.
Wonderful help, good service, and honest & friendly people
The company was very helpful in all stages of planning for the safari. They promptly answered all my questions. In the end I didn't use them for the safari itself but they assisted me in choosing a hotel in Zanzibar and transportation to & from the airport at very reasonable & fair prices. They offerred me other services but were not pushy about it which I greatly appreciated. The driver was on time and very willing to answer questions on the way. I mistakenly gave the wrong time for my return flight from Zanzibar. The office noticed the mistake & the driver successfully got us to the airport in time for us to board at the last minute. If they hadn't noticed my mistake we would have missed our flight. This is a great company, with good service, and honest & friendly people. I highly recommend them.

Two day tour from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi National Park
Excellent organisation, great two days with great support and communication from Uhuru . Fantastic guide Julius picked us up from home, and worked really hard to ensure we had a good time. Camp Bastion was a lovely place to stay and we had some fantastic wildlife encounters. Would highly recommend as a magical two days.

Wonderful safari! Our guides, Abraham and Meshalu were beyond wonderful.
I originally booked our safari with Uhuru because I liked their unique itinerary where we had the opportunity to meet several different Tanzanian tribes as well as see the Big 5 in multiple different Tanzanian national parks. We brought our two teenaged son with us and they said it was the best experience they have ever had. Also, the hotels and lodges that Uhuru booked were wonderful. Abdallah was always communicative with us and once we arrived in Tanzania, we knew we were in good hands. Safety was very important to us and we felt that Tanzania was a safe and welcoming country.

Reliable, they respected all commitments.
We knew about this agency only through Safari Bookings. We planned the tour together, with several changes. The answers to our questions has been always very quick. They choosed for us two lodges in two national parrk, one in Mikumi was excellent (9/10) but the other in Selous was at a lower level (6/10). They booked on our request another excellent lodge in Mafia and everything was ok. All activities has been interesting and well organized. The driver who accompanied us was very experienced.
