Impeccable service from Margaret, she is kind and attentive. Brilliant organisation of our trip.
Having looked online to compare Safari deals for Selous on SafariBookings.com, I came across Uhuri Travel & Tours. As this was very last minute, I wasn’t expecting we would get the dates we wanted, however received a prompt reply from Abdallah R. A. Who was very friendly. I was then put in touch with Margaret who thankfully corresponds through WhatsApp which makes things so much easier when trying to organise a trip!! She was so attentive and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The organisation of the trip was brilliant and on the dates we wanted. she got a driver to pick us up from Dar to Selous, the Jimbiza camp where we stayed was amazing, the plane rides from Selous to Zanzibar was a wonderful experience and so happy Margaret organised this upon our request !
We would have organised some tours in Zanzibar however as one of my family members was unwell, we didn’t get to do this, Margaret’s compassion was very heartfelt.
Thank you again, I recommend this company to all! So glad I found Uhuru, it’s affordable and the staff are wonderful!!!

Fabulous Vacation!
We booked an 11 day Luxury vacation with Uhuru Travel & Tours which included a safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater. Let me start off by saying that the country is absolutely GORGEOUS! The people were friendly and the animals we saw on safari were so beautiful. I was shocked at how many animals we got to see. It was beyond what I had imagined! What a once in a lifetime experience it was!
We stayed in some really fabulous luxury accommodations, and some more mid range as well. We did run into some trouble with payment issues for getting into the parks that gave us some setbacks. We also had our car break down twice, which is understandable once you consider the bumpy dirt roads they are driving on all day long, but did take away from some of our time spent in the parks on Safari, and also made us really close to missing a flight. My one complaint would be that although we booked a "luxury" safari, the car we received for our safari was more in line with "budget" level. It was quite old and obviously also needed some work. Although the car was older, our driver/safari guide John was absolutely wonderful. He was helpful and informative and we really enjoyed his company.
After Safari, we flew to Zanzibar where we spent some time in Stone Town, and then Karafuu beach resort. Uhuru arranged all of our tours, flights within the country, and transfers between places, and delivered on all aspects. We always had someone pick us up/meet us whenever needed and all accommodations and arrangements were taken care of with no issues.
Although, I was concerned on our first night when we arrived, as well as the next morning. Our itinerary simply said early morning game drive after breakfast, but there was no indication of timing. The person that had picked us up at the airport and driven us to our hotel had no information for us as he was just the driver Uhuru had arranged. We did not know what time to be ready the next morning or if anyone would be showing up. Because of this we got up super early and then just waited to see what would happen. We finally heard from someone at 8am saying they'd be there at 9 to pick us up. I did not like being left hanging and wondering what was going on. It would have been better if they'd left some information for us at the hotel or called us the night we arrived. Or at least given us a specific time on our itinierary so we'd know when to be ready to go.
So that lack of communication from Uhuru upon arrival in Tanzania was a little bit dissappointing, but the communication we had before the trip with the planning process was great. We spoke with Abdhalla while booking and he was great at answering all of our questions and was very quick with his replies.
So all in all, there were a few small concerns, but in the end everything worked out well and we really did have an amazing trip booked through Uhuru.

Margaret was very available for us and that's very appreciate. Give us a excellent advice about the Safari and Park of Selous.
We recommend to everyone to book with them. We saw a lot of animals and to slept on the park is just amazing. We wake up with a giraffe in front of the tent. Amazing experience and beautiful moment to share with your partner. Many thanks for this moment and make our dreams come true.

Very good organization and communication, frandly, flexible people, professionalism at every step!
It was our 6th visit in Africa, 3rd in Tanzania and we know Africa a little bit. We found Uhuru Travel trough the internet and decided upon them based on their good reviews and excellent communication with us during the planning process. We were not disappointed!!! Thank you Abdallah for your fast response, valuable comments and taking care of us during the safari.
We visited 3 NP: Selos, Mikumi and Ruaha. It was our orginal program. We started from Zanzibar by plane to Dar, traveled to Selous next to Mikumi ( very long trip!) and Ruaha- by jeep. We were returning from Msembe airstrip to Zanzibar by plane ( It was a very good idea Abdallah!)
Everything was really good : Nestor our driver and guide, selected lodges (by Abdallah), food, carring etc.
This is a good company, with good service and honest, friendly people.
We will certainly use they service again! Maybe Okawango next year Abdallah! Thank you and see you next time.

Great experience, our guide Mandela was fantastic! And also the chef
The guide Mandela was fantastic, he spelled it all perfectly and he payd attention to every our request. All accommodation was beautiful but in particular was Amazing the overnight inside the Serengeti, in seronera campsite, into the wild. I suggest that in our life all we should make a safari experience.
