Very professional. Well organized and excellent service
The tour was very well organized, everything worked smoothly and on time. They were very flexible with changing and adjusting the itinerary according to our request. Our Guide- Alfa was amazing, very experienced and gave us a lot of information regarding the animals beaver and different plants in the savanna. It was really an amazing experience.

Great Hands-Off Safari Experience
Booking the safari was east through WhatsApp, and the response time from the organizer was very quick. Once the deposit was down, nearly everything was taken care of. Only a few messages were exchanged telling us when to be ready to be picked up from the hotel, and all the rest was handled/explained to us on the way. Ferry over to Dar es Salaam was quick, and our driver Dani accommodated my food poisoning by visiting a pharmacy. The 4 hr van ride to the lodging was on a bumpy dirt road, but it was fun to see the countryside. Lodging was fantastic for the location, and staff was the most polite I've ever met. Safari day came and our guide Goodluck (yes, that's his name!) was excellent. He had the perfect amount of energy for 7 in the morning, and guided us on a wonderful day. We saw every animal we came to see (giraffes, hippos, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras), including lions in the final 15 minutes of the tour when he booked it to a special bush where the lions were resting. He managed to get us to see the lions and still make it to our plane with time to spare. Plane ride back was quick and easy. Highly recommend for the price.

Our guide, driver and experience was awesome
We did a full day tour of Selous and had a guide (mr martino) and driver (mr maneno) both were simply fantastic and we were so blessed to have them showing us this paradise. We saw so many animals and both used all their experience to make our great day absolutely fantastic. Don’t be hung up about seeing lions or tigers, enjoy seeing nature’s diversity up close and personal. We loved our trip that was made special by our guide and driver

All you need for a dream Safari experience
We booked a 5 day safari in Selous with Uwanda tours. Mr. Salumu was highly responsive and accomodating to our needs. We got the best service we could wish for. Allways on time, with a smile. From pickup at the hotel, arranging the filghts to the actual Safari. We were assigned a guide, Mr. martino and a driver, Mr. Maneno. Both were seasoned Safari professionals with 15 years in the Selous area. They were punctual, polite, patient and highly knowlegable in the area and its inhabitants. We got to see all the animals up close with some fun encounters. They were very accomodating to our wishes and made our experience one to remember. The Safari plan in itself is varied and gave us a chance to experience not only the wildlife but the nearby villages and Masai boma. The only issue we had was at the first night at the lodge of our choice when we did not recieve one of the rooms we booked. Uwanda took responsability tried to rectify the issue and offered compensation for our discomfort. I would highly recommend them for your next Safari adventure, you won't regret it !

The best experience and guide we could ask for! Amazing Martino
We did the three days Safari experience in Nyerere park: we explored the Selous reserve through the daily game drive and the night game drive on the first day, we had the boat tour and the visit to the village nearby the camp the second day, and we went to visit the Masai village the last day. The accommodations we stayed at made our experience characteristic and allowed us to really enjoy the nature all around. All the people working there have been very welcoming and caring, and we had really nice food as well.
Before we started, Martino gave us all the information we needed to live the experience the best way, he gave us the right advices on how to bring the best memories back from the Safari experience. Anytime we had questions he was there to answer and explain. Beside the professional informations we got from him, he has been nice and fun. He has been amazing!
We’ll keep this experience within the best memories we have!

We were well taken care of and had a fantastic time. They handled everything very well.
We were very happy with Uwanda tours and our knowledgeable guide Piniel. We saw so many more animals then we expected to see and it was a wonderful time. Osero camp was lovely as well. Very worth the money, it was such a lovely add on to our trip. It converted my friend to Safaris, she wants to go again. Highly recommended by us.

Wonderfully Organised and Adventurous Safari
uwanda tours allowed us to experience a unique and adventurous safari. firstly everything was organised exceptionally well such as the transfers and activities (always very punctual). we did a multitude of activities in only 5 days including game drives, boat safaris, sunset boat drive, bush walk, hot spring swims, maasai village tour, mloka village tour and much more.
before i talk about our experiences during the activities i would like to say we had the most wonderful and informative tour guide who stayed with us most of the time. our guide holle first greeted us with a huge smile were we already knew we got so lucky with our guide. he was fantastic as he shared so much information with us, made the safari enjoyable, had an explanation ready for all of our wild questions and overall was just an excellent guide. additionally we always felt safe with him and he spoke very good english. i will definitely request him for my next safari!
a word on the activities. the game drives were filled with the sighting of many animals both on land and in the water. on one day we even made a stop at the hot springs which was truely a lovely event. additionally nyerere national park is wonderful as it is not crowded with jeeps and has beautiful nature. the sunset boat drive was astonishing and a must see. the bush walk was a unique dive into the life of a bushman. the boat safari was action filled with hippos and crocodiles as well as seeing animals come down to the water. the maasai and mloka village tours gave a wonderful insight into both their cultures and ways of life (very interesting!).
if you don’t want to have a boring/normal safari come to nyerere national park with uwanda tours. and don’t forget to get holle as your tour guide!
