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.
Plane journey too and from, were hassle free and excellent. .
Would certainly recommend you and my guide in the future.

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 !

Evrything was well arranged
The tour was maybe short, but it was a amazing experience. The service from Uwanda was great, you can ask your question on whatsapp, so that was easy.

Helpful, friendly, funny, the best
The tour is very good with Martin and Ramadan driver, but i dont like the (Africa Safari Selous) place where are we staying cuz it’s dangerous , all animals around you and your room you will found scorpions and spiders….ist, and the electric switch off many times .

Well organised, and amazing people with stunning safari.
I was anxious when I booked this tour as it was significantly cheaper than all the others I had found. Communication and quote came back instantly. There was not a lot of o formation coming out prior to the trip, which did make me a little anxious, but I needn’t have been. The minute our driver was assigned to pick us up ( who was fabulous) we were nurtured and cared for throughout the trip. We were handed to a guide at the airport who then helped us to arrivals. The safari drive was stunning. We had the most amazing guide who was so determined to give us the best possible experience, which he did. Lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras etc. we were treated to a stunning full cooked lunch in the middle of the day which was a total surprise. The lodge at the end was delightful. Air conditioning, a pool and lovely food. All in all this was a really stunning trip.

Very safe tour with experienced guide. We saw the big 3. Elephant, African Buffalo and the Lion. They respect that this can be a one life experience and that we come from far away they make the tour feel special.

Excellent tour operator for your safari
The safari was beautiful. We got to see almost every animal and even got really close to some of them. The organization was perfect, everything went smoothly. We ended up doing all the experiences. Our driver Kapande was excellent and made the safari even more special. He managed to spot all the animals and spread his knowledge about them to us. When it stared to rain his driving abilities were impressive, making the ride even more funny and adventurous. Meeting really nice people like him always makes the trip unforgettable!
Thanks to Uwanda Tours and Safaris and Kapande for the wonderful experience 😊

helpful and kind
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.

The whole 3day Safari was organised perfectly
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.
