Wonderful safari
Organisation was perfect from pick up at the hôtel until return at the hôtel.
Our Guide Martin was Very kind and expiremented. We had the chance to see lion girafe, and a lot of other wild animals. Our driver Omar was perfect. The meal in the middle of the bush was great. Accommodation was à little bit under our expectation (ex. Pool was not clean and greenish) but People were wonderfull. A once in a lifetime expérience with Uwandatours.

Two wonderfull immersive days in the bush
We were very well received by our guide Mr Martin who accompanied us during these 2 days spent in the national park Nyerere.
We did not imagine seeing so many animals of all kinds but the experience of our guide and our driver meant that we were able to see a lot of things. Impala, okapi, elephants, hippos, zebras, antelopes, lion, wildebeest, buffaloes, giraffes, hyenas, monkeys, baboons, warthogs...
The visit to the park was exceptional and the meal in the bûche was an unforgettable experience.
Only small downside, the accommodation in the lodges was not up to our expectations. No electricity during the night, no hot water in the morning, very basic comfort.
Nevertheless, we strongly recommend this visit!

Very friendly and helpful.
The communication was very good, but the evening bevor they changed the lodge for the first night and it was not as good as the second lodge. All over all it was a very good safari but rather expensive as we stayed not in the national park lodges. Our driver was very nice and had a good knowledge of animals and their behavior.

Worked very hard to show us all the animals . Really wanted us to have the best experience ever.
Thoroughly enjoying . Everything was organised brilliantly . Plane sailing throughout excursion. saw 3 of the big five - not bad going for a 2 x day trip! Guides were professional and knowledgeable.

Would certainly recommend you and my guide in the future.

Very good organization, everything worked!
Our experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris was great. We were in Tansania in September and spent three days in Selous Park. Everything worked very well with the organisation of the tour operator, the pick-up, the different tours, the delicious food in the park ... On arrival we were warmly welcomed by our guide, Anton, who accompanied us very professionally all the three days long. He has a big experience and know-how. With him the safari tour became a unique experience. He always took care of us and explained clearly everything we saw or asked, so that we could follow and understand everything. Even the different types of eagles we were able to accurately identify due to his experience and his special book about birds. He always tried to fulfill all our wishes, with success! On the last day, he showed us his little town with its market and school, which was actually a moving and emotional experience. We were very satisfied with the organiser and really recommend Anton as a very experienced guide as well as a lovely and very warm-hearted person.
Thank you for this amazing time.

Excellent service
Francis was an excellent guide on the game drive. He came with all provisions necessary to enjoy the drive. We were fortunate enough to see all mammals and the overnight camping in the Serengeti was incredible as we got the chance to view the sunrise the next morning. Thank you Uwanda Tours and Safaris.

Very nice experience !
We took a private 3 days safari with lodge (boat, jeep, walk).
The general organization of the tour was pretty good. Our driver picked up us in DAR and dropped us in DAR too, he was really arranging !
First day, 4 hours max of driving to Selous and then lunch at the camp. After that we went to boat safari for 3~4 hours, really great experience with a lot of animals (birds, crocodile, hippopotamus) and with a beautiful sunset on the river !
Back to the camp for dinner, by the way food was very good during all the stay, and then we sleep in the lodge, it was clean and corresponding well to pictures on safari booking. Be careful the electricity is not available during all the day, but it's clearly not a problem.
Second day, approximately 7 hours of game drive in the Nyerere national park, which start at 7am. Amazing experience, we saw a lot of different animals (lion, elephant, giraffe, birds, pumba, hippo, impala...) with perfect explanations from our guide HENRY.
Third day, the one where we were the most disappointed for the walking safari. We thought that we were going to walk during 2~3 hours, but in fact we start at 6:30 am, and we almost didn't walk (15 min). Our "guide" talked to us about a nest and a cactus during 1 hour, and after that he showed us how to make a fire like Bear Grills. It's interesting, but not what we expected.
The lunch wasn't included for the last day, therefore we don't understand why the company didn't recommend us to take a plane at DAR in the evening. If you're making the walking tour, it ends at 8:30am, so it's ok to take a plane at the end of the day. So we preferred to stay for lunch and enjoy the swimming pool and camp. Thank again to our driver, who wait for us !
Special thanks to Henri, who was really kind and with excellent knowledge for our game drive !
Outstanding experience, very reliable tour operator
We booked a 9 days/8 nights safari with Uwanda Tours and Safari for a reasonable price compared to others. From the first contact to the very last day, we were not disappointed once. We asked to customize a bit the original itinerary, which was done without any problem. We did visit Mikumi, Ruaha and Nyerere National Parks + the Udzungwa mountains for a hike. We did everything according to the plan and the whole trip was honestly above our expectations. We discovered very different landscapes and unique environments within all National Parks. Katuku was such a nice, funny and friendly guide. He cares a lot about his guests and always made sure we were happy and could enjoy the most of the wildlife experience. He made us feel a lot of time like we were almost alone in the park, driving around and always looking for animals till the very end of each day. We could stop and admire the wildlife as long as we wanted. He is a very experienced guide who knows a lot about the nature and animals and shared a lot with us.
We had amazing time for our safari. Very trustworthy tour operator, everything was well arranged and they provide very good services. Accommodation and food were very good too. We don't regret our choice for the southern parks instead of the more busy ones in the North. The extra distance by car is so worth it -- the trips on the road are part of the experience, you can see a lot of small villages and local life. Thanks to Uwanda for this outstanding experience, highly recommended!

Nice operator
We had a such good experience thanks Uwanda Tour.
I recommend them for the excellent informations they provided to us and also the competitor price .
Everything was planned as they explained us in their offer . No bad surprise .
Also it was easy to pay online with a credit card (if you don’t want to pay by cash).
The staff on site was really nice and we had no difficulties with our children there (6 yo and 11 months).
There is only one thing that we didn’t really enjoy is the boat trip.
I expected to see croco and hippo really close to our boat but actually there were more far than the first day in game drive(car) .
So for my opinion it would be better to remove the boat tour and add another game drive .
Thank you Uwanda
