Great service compared to other companies
Uhuru is a great company, organisation is very good, the driver is experienced and knows the parks so well he brought us to places without all the other tourist cars.
The services is as good, or better than other companies and the service seems to be better.
After having searched and contacted many safari companies we chose Uhuru and we made a good decision

Everything I expected was fulfilled. And a little bit more ...
I would like to thank the UHURU TRAVEL & TOUR LTD for well-prepared safari.
Firstly, my gratitude goes to Margaret for her professional and quick response. This was one of the moments that decided that I will use services of UHURU TRAVEL & TOUR LTD. Then, I would like to thank Mr. Roy for his personal approach and assistance provided to us during our trip in Tanzania. Last but not least, my big thank you! goes to our guide Mr. Mak with whom we spent pleasant 8 days and who sincerely looked after us. Our thank you belongs as well to other people who by their own way contributed to our beautiful and pleasant stay in Tanzania.
Should we decide to return to Tanzania or to Kenya in the future (which I do plan), I would very much like to use UHURU TRAVEL & TOUR LTD services again.
I wish you many satisfied clients!!!

We had an amazing time - Everything was exceptional - We even prolonged by a day!
From the moment we landed up until departure, we didn't have to think about anything! Everything was very well organized, the guides Mishalo and Mark we very nice, we saw a bunch of animals, the places we stayed at were marveleous, the communication with Margaret was very responsive and attentive.
The only thing I would change in the package would be the Safari blue day out in Zanzibar which felt very "touristy". I would recommend swapping for a day out snorkeling with the Padi dive center next to the Tembo hotel.
Other than that it was perfect, I would warmly recommend Uhuru.

Great safari experience!
We have booked 4 days safari with Uhuru Travel and had a great time. They sent a car to pick us up from the airport to the hotel (no extra charge).
I had a very good communication on Whatsapp with Abdallah. The car we went to safari was very clean and in good condition. The driver, Mamerti, although not so good in English, is very skilled in looking for animals. The cooker, Antonio, made very, very good vegetarian dishes, on our request.
There was some problems at entrances and exits (we had to wait between 2-4 hours each time) due to unpaid fees, Uhuru manage to solve them as fast as possible.
Next day after the safari ended, Abdallah provided us with the transfer to the airport (no extra charge!!!).
All in all, we had a great experience! I highly recommend Uhuru!

Great Safari and Beach Vacation
We had a great trip with Uhuru Travel. I am living in Afghanistan, so it was hard to coordinate with those coming from North America. Uhuru made it easy to speak in real time on Whatsapp. They managed our booking of our lodge, flights, and everything. We did have a hiccup in that the days we selected were already booked, so we had to change them around after we had already put the deposit down, but our hotel in Zanzibar was flexible and didn't charge us for changing the dates of our booking. It was amazing to have beach time in Zanzibar, then the safari, perfect vacation. I have been on safaris before, this one we went to Ruaha park, which was overwhelming with elephants. They were everywhere. The camp was cool, it was in the middle of no where, we heard lions and elephants up against our tent in the night, which was terrifying, but they had a Masaai warrior there protecting us. Was a great trip.

Fantastic Family Trip
We were very skeptical travelling to Kenya and then Kenya to Tanzania by road. We relied completely on Uhuru and made the full payment in advance. Frankly, they exceeded our expectation in terms of the hotels and jungle camp the booked, the long but not so exhaustive trips to sight animals, and lovely lunch boxes to supplement the outings. We did, 10days of continuous trips for 8 to 12hrs, but it was memorable. The team went out of their way to sight animals. Overall a brilliant tour and lively memories. I would highly recommend Uhuru for your holidays in Kenya and Tanzania

Great value for short budget safari; 4 days, 3 nights
I thought the communication with Margaret was initially a big reason for me wanting to use Uhuru. She was great.
The price was very reasonable for 4 days, 3 nights- something important for backpackers looking for a once in a lifetime experience.
The guide was very knowledgeable, and conducted himself in the most professional manner and was very friendly. I'd highly recommend asking for a safari with Isador.
Overall, this package was a good fit for me. It was in my price range, there was good communication about how to pay, what was included and any questions before hand. The safari itself was great, but for budget, expect to do outdoor camping (which actually I recommend if you'd like the opportunity to possibly see wild animals outside of a car). I felt I got to see the big things in a short amount of time. Tarengire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro are where you'll get to see the big 5 and more.
Uhuru is a trusted, reliable tour operator.

An Excelent trip
I had a great safari trip with Uhuru Travel & Tours.
Mr Abdhalah the owner was very helpful and gave me a great rate for a private safari.
He was kind enough to answer all my questions.
Mr Loai was a very good trip orgnizer as he did some last minute changes in the plan, to enable me making the maximum use of the trip.
Mike the driver was undoubtly a big reason of making this trip a great one.
He was so nice, always smiling, giving us good information about places and animals, he did all his best to make us spot all Big 5 animals.
I can't find the words to thank you Mike.
I recommend Uhuru Travel to everyone as they have the best rates and services.
Thanks alot for my friends in Uhuru

Perfect 36 hour-getaway from Dar es Salaam
The safari was great.
We had 36 hours with a very friendly and competent guide.
We are very happy with our two days in Mikumi, and saw the animals we wanted to see.
We stayed the night at Angalia tented camp which was wonderful - beautiful tents, very friendly staff and good food.
The drive back from Mikumi to Dar es Salaam was very long, and we got back a lot later than planned. This was due to traffic.
But for us, first time visitors in Tanzania, the drive itself was an experience.
The whole experience very well lived up to our expectations.
