BEST PRICE WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE
5/5

Me and my wife went on a 2-days Selous drive with Uwanda Tours and Safaris. As we left from ZAnzibar, we chose to travel by airoplane to not loose to much time travelling. After sending an application via the website, Uwanda Tours and Safaris provide a Whatsapp service; a telephone number is shared for comminication; All questions before and after ordering were answered adequately within 1 to 2 minutes, that is QUALITY which deserves respect! The included taxi service to the airport arrived punctual at the hotel to pic us up, similar for the return from the airport to back to the hotel; again a professional service. The taxi driver guided us to the waiting zone to board the airplane where another "Uwanda" awaited us, he lead us to the entrance and gate for boarding. After a 25 min flight, we arrived at the Nyerere National Park where we were awaited by our driver for the Selous game drive: Maarufu. As our Jeep stood right next to the landed airoplane, we immediatly started the Selous game drive. Maarufu appeared to be very motivated by going the extra mile for us: we must say, a time of a lifetime experience!
The second day is a bit less filled but the boot tour and visit to the village were worth doing... we still would recommend the 2 days - before the 1 day trip. It would have been perfect if we would have been aware in advance that our lodge where we staid has a swimmingpool so we would have brought our swimming gear. Returning to Zanzibar, pick up - flight - taxi, all punctual and professional again. Thank you Uwanda Tours and Safari for this great experience!

It was a wonderful trip with wonderful guides!
5/5

We booked the trip from Germany at very short notice, but everything was 100% perfect. When we landed in Nyerere NationalPark, our super guide picked us up right away. Our guide (Mr. Martin aka. Rasti) accompanied us in the 3 days. Top information, very very nice, perfectly organized by the agency and the driver and guide were super nice. We had a lot of fun and would book the Tour Rasti again at any time.;-) THX!

Reliable Tour Operator
5/5

We participated in a three day safari to the selous nationalpark. Everything was organised very good - the trip by plane, the accomodation at the
national park and the safari.
We specially liked the different kinds of safaris we got offered - we had a boat safari, a whole day game drive and a walking safari with a bushman - so each of them was very different and interesting. We also saw animals, which are rare to see in Selous, like lions, elephants, hyenas and wild dogs - special thanks therefore to our guide Alea Lunga.
We had a great time! We can really recommend Uwanda tours and safaris.

Excellent service, unforgettable Safari
5/5

We had a fantastic experience with Uwanda tours. We signed up for a 1-day safari in Mikumi (leaving from Zanzibar) very last minute; we communicated easily via WhatsApp and had all our questions immediately answered which gave us the confidence to book with Uwanda.
The safari itself was amazing. Everything worked seamlessly, we saw more than we could have hoped for in one day and travelled comfortably in a small group of five. A big thank you to our excellent guide James and skilled driver Felix who were helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable.

We got an excelente service from our operator, Mr. Martin, from the moment we arrived to Selous Safari, to the moment he put us back on the plane. He is really experienced, loves nature and respects animals. He is fun, super friendly and gave great insights about the animals. He is also great with kids, our son really liked him!

Very reliable, safe, gentle, quality guarantee
5/5

One super experience. We were picked up in our hotel in Zanzibar: the drivers were perfectly punctual and the vehicles were safe and reliable. From Dar Es Salaam to the camp we could also have a little chat with our driver during the journey which was extremely welcomed and prepared us for the experience. Africa safari camp is legally speaking outside the Savannah but it's like being IN the Savannah, as the animals kind of don't respect the park borders, who knows why...xD. It's perfectly safe though, the camp staff is continuously controlling the area and you are always escorted to your hut. The journey to the park itself from Dar Es Salaam is an experience: you see how the houses and villages change and get more and more immersed in nature. The natural and cultural landscapes are of course astounding and need no further commentary. All the staff in the camp was extremely helpful, especially the Masai who safely escorted us to our hut. We would like to personally thank our boat and drive game safari guide and driver: Alfa Lunga and Omari, who were absolutely familiar with the park and made us see as many animals as possible and were always available if we had questions. Last but not least we have to thank our bushman guide and teacher Doctor Simba: we learned so much from the bush walking experience and could feel at home in nature, my husband is particularly pride of what he learned during this experience and began to practice in our hotel room back in Zanzibar. This experience, especially the last day made us understand why many Europeans refer to this continent as "Mother Africa": you feel you have finally come back home even though you haven't actually ever been there. We cannot recommend Uwanda and the Nyerere experience enough.
