Once in a lifetime experience with the best guide
5/5

From our experience the best value to money Safari. We booked the 5-day Safari (Mikumi + Nyerere National Parks). Ask for „Kapande“ as your personal Guide. The most welcoming and humble Guide we could have asked for. Always friendly and fluent in English. He is well-known among other guides, rangers and staff since he has been a Guide for the last 10+ years. He knows a lot about the wildlife and where to look for them during Game Drive. Expect long rides but very comfortable travel. We always felt safe and secure. Overall an experience wie will never forget!

Kapande was exceptional, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment, making us fall in love with safari
5/5

I had an incredible experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris, largely thanks to our amazing guide, Kapande. He was not only fun and engaging but also incredibly patient, sharing a wealth of knowledge about the animals, plants, and local culture that truly enriched our journey. His good advice and enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable and informative, igniting my eagerness to return.

The tour operator's service was outstanding, with excellent communication and a strong rapport that made the entire process smooth. The value for money was exceptional. The accommodations were beautiful, featuring attentive staff who enhanced our stay. The safari itself was mesmerizing—we encountered nearly all the iconic animals and learned so much about the flora and fauna. Those three days felt like two weeks of adventure and discovery; I can't recommend Uwanda enough!

Amazing experience with Mr.Kapande, the best tour guide I ever had
5/5

The safari experience was an amazing adventure thanks to Mr. Kapande smile, kindness and availability. My friend and I came all the way from France and we were hoping to live an unforgettable experience. Little did we know that the tour was going to be better than everything we could have imagine. Everyday was unique, joyful, full of knowledge and incredible human interactions. Booking this safari tour is definitely one of the best decision we could have made to live a breathtaking experience.
We were looking for a high quality of service and unforgettable memories to cherish forever. Between the boat safari, the drive in the park, the visit of Mloka- village and the morning walk with our Masaï guide, everything was perfect. The staff working in the lodge was amazing, they were polite, genuinely kind, patient and welcoming. Given all this, I will definitely recommend this agency and mostly Mr.Kapande who highly contributed to us spending a life changing adventure. Asante my friend !

Good communication and quick reply to any queries
5/5

Our overall experience was great. Uwanda Tours arranged nice lodges and a well-experienced, reliable, punctual and funny guide (H. Kapande) who took care of us and our needs e.g. when travel plans changed.

Furthermore Uwanda Tours was very cooperative when there was an overbooking in our first lodge (not their fault) and we had to stay in another one for a night.

Even though the time spend in the car to get from one national park to the other (unpaved roads included) was quite long (6-8h), our guide drove safe and steady and tried his best to make us feel comfortable (restroom break, always enough water in the car, lunch packages…).

We had a great time and would go again with Uwanda Tours.

Perfect safari experience with safe, caring and knowledgeable drivers/guides. Truly amazing!
5/5

Kapande and Samwel took care of our group of 10, making sure we arrived safe and sound at the Nyerere National Park. They are both highly experienced drivers and extremely knowledgable about the area. We loved the scenic road trip, the incredible sight of animals up close and the wonderful hospitality of the locals. Communication with Salumu was excellent and super flexible to accommodate all needs. We highly recommend Uwando Tours for a memorable Tanzania safari!

Amazing safari in the wild life
5/5

We got taken in charge from beginning to end it was a really good experience.

Someone came to pick us up, from our hotel (which was far away from stone town) brought up to the port, someone else gave us tickets, at the arrival our driver Kapande took care of us for 3 days answering all our questions and giving us more context.

During our Safari we had the chance to see a lot of animals among which were Giraffes, Lions, Elephants, Buffalos, Impalas, Baboons, Pumbas, and much more.

We also were provided with food (delicious) and water.

The tented camp had its charm as well

The whole 3day Safari was organised perfectly
5/5

We booked a 3day/2night safari with this organisation. We went to the Nyerere National park and stayed at the Selous safari lodge. Our tourguide was Bakari and he was very cool, knows his stuff and gave us a very chill and beautiful experience. This was our first time and I am definitely coming back again. The whole stay was arranged to the details. Pick up in Dar es Salaam was on time (he was always early). The lodge was also very beautiful and the program was perfect. Enough time for activities and also enough time for rest since it is quite intense (with the sunny weather).

Personally I recommend to drive from Dar es Selaam to Nyerere because the scenery is amazing, but after the 3days I would recommend to fly back.

Thank you for a wonderful experience Bakari and Uwanda Tours.

helpful and kind
5/5

Our wonderful guide was Kapand,. He picked us up at the hotel and after 4h we arrived in Selous (Nyerere NP). The Safari day was beautiful and Kapande explained everything to us perfectly. The next day he took us to the bush walk and the boat Safari, unfortunately we could only do two days but everything was so beautiful that we could have done more. Thanks Uwanda tour and especially thanks Kapande.
