Amazing experience from start to finish!
5/5

Just got back from a 2 day/ 1 night safari in Selous staying at the Selous Lodge. WOW! What an amazing experience! Our guide was Alfa, brilliant guy, very knowledgeable and informative. Alfa knew the hiding places of many of the animals and the shortcuts to get to them! We literally saw everything possible! Alfa went above and beyond to give us the full experience, even kept going until sunset and took us to the best place for a sunset photo shoot with the hippos and crocs! After that and a quick stop off to see a lioness playing with her cubs it was off to the Lodge. Again WOW! Lovely place, with amazing and friendly staff. The room (we had Tempo) was beyond expectations and the private outdoor shower was very liberating!
Day 2 was on to the Masai Village to learn how they live and an insight to their way of living. A very humbling experience, such a simple way of living! Then on to a river safari to see the hippos, crocs and other wildlife from the water. Then back to the Lodge for lunch and a chance to relax in the pool before heading back to the landing strip for the flight back to Zanzibar! All in all, an amazing experience, from start to finish, made all the better by our guide for the safari, Alfa, without whom it would not have been the same! So Thank you Alfa and Uwanda Tours for an unforgettable experience! We will definitely be back!!

5 star experience!
5/5

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences for my husband and me on our Honeymoon (September 23). We had a two-day Luxury Safari visiting Nyerere NP (Selous) and honestly, it was 5/5 from start to finish. Our Driver and guide Dennis was amazing, and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We had a Bushman Walk, a boat safari on the Rufiji River, an afternoon game drive until sunset and dinner at the camp before the next day of an early rise to go for the all-day game drive. From the moment you book this tour, it is so well planned out and feel like you are in good hands. You will not be disappointed. Book ASAP!

5 day Nyerere safari - a dream experience
5/5

I went with my partner and we had had a wonderful time. Alfa was our driver and we got on great. Alfa and the Uwanda team were very accommodating and attentive to giving us the best experience! We stayed at the Selous Safari lodge and were very pleasantly surprised by the accommodation, again, staff were friendly and the meals were tasty! Each evening the next day's activities would be reconfirmed, this helped everything to run like clockwork. Most importantly, we saw lots of amazing sights of animals and learned a lot from Alfa and the team about the animals. It was a beautiful experience with so many highlights, well worth the money.

Great tour with Uwanda Tours and Safaris through Southern Tanzania
5/5

We had a great time travelling with Uwanda Tours and Safaris for 12 days through the Game Parks of Southern Tanzania. Our driver Emanul was a safe and excellent driver especially with all the trucks that were on the road and also during our final game drive where it had rained overnight turning all the dirt roads into a wet sloshy mud. The skills of his 4 wheel driving were amazing and allowed us to spend the day in the park.
All the accommodation and staff were excellent along with the meals we had at each place.
We completed all that was in the itinerary and Emanul went out of his way to ensure we got the most out of all our game drives.
All communication with Uwanda Tours was very good with quick responses to our emails.
We highly recommend Uwanda Tours and Safaris.

Well organised, knowledgeable and highly recommend
5/5

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in stone town everyone was friendly, welcoming and helpful. We flew from Zanzibar to Nyerere and picked up by Mr Martin and our driver Ommi. It was amazing experience and our guides were both extremely knowledgeable and went out their way to make sure we had the best possible experience. Lunch and coffee spots shared with pods of Hippos, couldn’t have been more special. We stayed at Selous Safari Lodge which was absolutely beautiful.

Amazing safari experience in Selous National Park
5/5

Having done quite a bit of research on various Tanzanian safaris we opted to book with Uwanda Tours. We were not disappointed. Communication was good throughout and everything went exactly to plan. We had a 4 day, 3 night fly in/out safari from Zanzibar. This meant that we were on the first days game drive within 1 hour of landing at the airstrip. We saw an amazing array of animals under the guidance of 2 very experienced driver/guides. Both Adi and Ramadami did an excellent job of finding the animals and getting up close so we were able to view them in their natural habitat. We stayed at the Selous Kinga lodge which we can thoroughly recommend. We had the best food of our whole Zanzibar/Tanzania trip at the Lodge. Daniel, James and the rest of the lodge staff made us very welcome treating us with real kindness and friendship. The 4 day safari really was the highlight of our holiday.
