Well organized
Everything was vey well organized. Nice people and great safaris.
Communication with Uwanda by mail was fast.
We went during low season but we were lucky enough with good weather and saw a lot of animals. Also thanks to the great driver we had.
Accommodation was very good as well

Uwanda Tours is professional, responsive and gave us a tour that exceeded expectations!
Uwanda Tours and Safaris is an exceptionally professional company and Salumu was very responsive and patient during the planning stages our our trip. He guided us through every question and made perfect recommendations for our 10 day safari in the southern circuit of Tanzania, despite it being "rainy" season. The flexibility, open-ended possibilities if we needed to reroute due to rain was very reassuring. Our guide, Emanuel is extremely knowledgeable, and guided us through very long journeys from one place to another (Dar Es Salaam-Mikumi-Udzungwa-Nyerere-Dar Es Salaam) with amazing driving skill (we chose drive the distances to see the country, long but worth every minute), exceptional knowledge about every single inch of every park, knows everyone and is extremely friendly and strong (no problem on rough roads, long drives, hard to spot animals). Everything was perfect, and definitely do research with different types of lodges or tented camps that suit your interests as there are several options inside the parks and outside (we recommend lodges inside the parks to be closer to the animals). The ONLY suggestion we have is if anyone chooses the driving route to these stunning areas of Tanzania, to request a safari truck with reclining seats if possible. The drives are spectacular and there is so much to see along the way and you don't feel the time, but could use the recline to rest along the way. The lodges, the parks, the people, the scenery...makes a world of difference with the right guide! Thank you for the most incredible memories and we will be back!

Kind, knowledgeable, excellent
I had a great time with Uwanda tours and safari. Endrick, my guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and went out of my way to get the best shots (I'm an avid photographer). The driver, Daniel, was kind and drove the roads with precision. Overall, it was an excellent Safari adventure!

Trust them and you will have the best experience!
As someone who travelled the world (6/7 continents) and met a lot of cultures (from backpacking to 5+stars luxury travel): These guys are just amazing! They try everything to make your safari unforgettable! You see how proud they are of the park and their smile is real, when they see you enjoying it!
I have never done a tour where I felt the guide/camp employees passion like this!
Best guided tour I ever experienced!!

Great, warm and very friendly!
We had a great experience. Went two guys on a private tour. We had just two days and one night. We would recommend to stay longer so you can see the tribes.
Our guide told us a lot about the animals. We had dinner together this was great. And beautiful sunset. We can not more then recommend them.

You cant wish for anything more. The driver going beyond what was expected, really excellent
First and foremost the acxomodqtion and campus was great. Fireplace, chill spots restaurant, bar etc. The staff were soo friendly and very helpful, allways at your service. And then the driver- wow. We had Imanuel - this guy refused to give up before we saw elefants. We had alot of knowledge and even helpt us when going back to Dar el Salam to make sure we get on the boat. He was superfriedly and went far beyond what you expect from a driver. The safari in itself was also great, basically saw all the animals we wanted to see.

Reliable and experienced tour operator
We had the most amazing experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris. Our guide Henry was puntual, very knoledgeable and patient and really made an effort to make sure we could see as many animals as possible.We saw lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and many more, we will treasure those special moments forever! The tour on the river and the accomodation were also very good.
We couldnt have asked for a better guide, we felt totally safe and well looked after.
We highly recommend them!

I recommend a thousand times, just perfect !!!!
where to start, the organization is on top, transfers between different places have always been on time. Boat trip along the river to admire crocodile, hippopotamus, eagle and so on with Omar, a young guide with in-depth knowledge of the fauna and flora. we took a tour in a very informative village (Mloko) with a guide (Shaban) who grew up in this village, the safari was amazing, our guide Mr Martins was very professional and did everything to ensure that we had a great time and see all the animals present in the reserve, I would like to thank Mr Maneno our driver for his driving skills. We ended with a visit to the bush with Doctor Simba who has a unique experience, whether concerning vegetation or animals. he was accompanied by Yussef a Masai. all the guides we had the chance to meet shared their impressive knowledge with us this adventure will forever be etched in our memories.

All arrangements went ahead on time, staff were friendly and reliable.
Our tour consisted of travelling from
Zanzibar to the safari and back, and consisted of a river safari and full day vehicle safari.
Mr Martin and Mr Musa were excellent, they tried very hard to spot as much wildlife for us as possible. Martin was always happy to share his knowledge on the animals and answer questions, and Musa was willing to drive pretty much anywhere to get us the best views, no matter how much reversing and tough terrain he had to navigate.
A couple of slight frustrations were that due to a miscommunication with the other safari hosts, we ended up wasting quite a lot of time trying to meet up for the lunch break. Also if I were to book again, I’d choose the option to fly both ways (rather than Ferry and taxi there and flight back). It took around 8 hours from Zanzibar to the safari lodge on the way there, but the flight back was only around 30 mins! Not sure why they would organise it that way.
Overall, based on the service of our guides, I’d happily recommend this tour operator.
