A truly wonderful experience with Uro Adventure & Gilbert
Our 3-night safari in Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Area) and Ngorongoro Crater with Uro Adventure & Safaris and their guide Gilbert was amazing! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all our expectations. The planning was seamless, and the communication with the team, especially Tom, was fantastic—everything was arranged down to the last detail and we were always able to ask questions.
The highlight of our safari was our guide, Gilbert. He was simply exceptional. Not only did he have an extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the landscapes, but his passion for the animals and their habitats was obvious. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Gilbert was always patient, ensuring we had the perfect view for photos and making sure we didn't miss any of the incredible wildlife moments. His expertise and warm personality truly made our safari memorable.
We also appreciated the thoughtful touches provided by Uro Adventure & Safaris, including the comfortable accommodation at Sero Tented Camp and delicious meals in between the adventures.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, we cannot recommend Uro Adventure & Safaris and Gilbert enough. They truly provide a personalized, top-notch customized experience that you’ll cherish forever.

Our tour guide was very nice and answered all our requests without hasitation.
The communication with the office was okay. Only thing that could be better would be if all people in the safari would stay in the same accomodation or at least near to each other. Our group had at least 3 different booking companies and accomodations. Because of that the guide got a bit confused and had to take us to different locations, so it was a lot of driving even after the safari ended each day. We arrived at out accomodations later than others that stayed closer to the route, so we couldn't enjoy the accomodations as much and also we were the first they picked us up, so we had to wake up at least one and a half our before others.

Uro Adventure gave us excellent experience and Gilbert, our driver, did amazing job!
Safari provided by Uro Adventure was fantastic, comfortable and memorable. I travelled with my parents and Gilbert, our driver and guide, did incredible job at providing us safe, fun, reliable and exciting adventure!
The communication between us and Gilbert was smooth and informative, the tour he provided us was adventurous and he answered all our questions in a professional and friendly manner about local people, animals, nature and cultures. He was also very kind; always listened to our requests and helped his colleagues and local people. You can feel Gilbert's passion for animals, people and his job, which was nice.
While safari driving is rough and bumpy, Gilbert did his best to drive carefully and we always felt safe. We had no problems with the car or safari. We saw many beautiful animals and Gilbert knew all about them. My parents and I had most memorable and exciting safari thanks to Gilbert and it was worth the money.
Thank you very much!
Asante sana!

A well-organized safari
The safari was an incredible experience. All details were arranged before the departure and the support was very comforting given it was my first safari.

Amazing Safari - Unbelievable experience
Last august, we did a 6-day “great Migration” private safari with Uro Adventure, starting in Zanzibar.
We were looking for a mid-range safari for a family of 5 (3 teenagers) starting in Zanzibar (our entry port into Tanzania). We requested quotes from 5 different travel agents with good user reviews, and Uro Adventure had the best price (others were up to 30% more expensive).
So we first flew to Zanzibar where we stayed at Tembo House Hotel for a few nights (booked separately). On the first day of our safari, Uro Adventure picked us up at our hotel to drive us to the airport. After a short flight to Arusha on Flightlink, Erick and our driver/guide Ommy were there to pick us up at the start of our adventure : Tangerine NP, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti NP, Northern Serengeti NP and Lake Manyara NP. On the last day we flew back to Zanzibar from Arusha, where Uro Adventure drove us to a beach resort (7 nights) which we had booked separately.
Overall our experience was truly amazing.
First, a big big thank you to our driver and guide Ommy, who was super nice, kind, pleasant, knowledgable, funny, great with the kids (even thought them some Swahilii), respectful of the rules and animals (others were not) and most important drove us very safely. We saw too many cars driving crazy and felt safe with Ommy, even when driving through rain and mud in the dark! Our vehicle was a stretched version of a Toyota land cruiser, a vehicle type used by most in the parks. You do spend a lot of time with your guide, so having someone like Ommy is so important for a great experience.
We stayed at 4 different locations : 2 lodges (Hhando Coffee Lodge and Escarpment Luxury Lodge) on the first and last nights, and two tented camps (Kon Tiki and Sero Tented camps). The two tented camps were absolutely magical. We had family tents in both, which were very confortable and set in beautiful nature. The first night at Hhando was nice but not special like the tented camps. The last night was an upgrade to a luxury lodge (more like a 4/5* experience), which was luxurious, but in hindsight not necessary.
All meals were included during our trip, and were all of high quality and delicious! For lunch, Ommy found inside the parks places to have lunch, and prepared a nice/luxurious table for us (with a red table cloth) with plates and metal cutlery. Food was typically some meat (Chicken), rice, vegetables, dessert, and a choice of drinks (wine, beer, water, sodas for the kids). We noticed that other tours offered lunch boxes, which did not seem as special as our nice meals on proper plates. Dinner/breakfast were at the lodges/camps, and mostly buffets (with an egg stations for breakfast), except for the last lodge which was had an a la carte menu. The Toyota also included a lot of drinks and snacks.
There was a lot of time in the car when visiting the parks, up to 12 hours per day with breaks and stops to see wildlife. The roads were unpaved in the parks so a bit rough, but it was all worth it: we saw an amazing about of animals, especially wildebeest, zebras, hippos, girafes, elephants, hyenas and various kinds of antilopes. We also managed to see 4-5 lions close by, 3 cheetahs, one leopard and 2 rhinos (a bit far). Our 3 teenagers did not complain once.
Also interesting was driving across villages, seeing all the inhabitants. As an optional extra for $50 we also visited a messiah village on our last day, which was interesting but felt a bit commercial.
On the last day, my wife managed to leave an expensive sweater behind at our hotel. Not a problem. Uro Adventure had it shipped to Zanzibar, and we could pick it up at the airport on our departure day.
In summary, we had an amazing safari thanks to Ommy, at a a great price thanks to Uro Adventures. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We were naturally a bit nervous to book directly with a local travel agent, but very happy we did book with Uro Adventures. Happy to answer questions (ask Erick for my number).

with uroadventure I made an impossible dream come true
It wasn't easy for me to make this trip to celebrate my retirement. Getting on in years and not even in shape but I found Antonio who was able to understand my doubts and organize a tour perfect for my needs. Culvety.e Omi with Erik, with great professionalism and friendliness, guided me, taught me, protected me and helped me. For six days through the large parks up to the Serengeti, choosing excellent solutions but in particular the Intimate tented lodge allows for an unforgettable experience of nature. Uroadventures also organized two weeks for me in Zanzibar. I wanted to visit the whole island which is very different from north to south. Air transfers by car, hotel excursions, everything impeccable, always punctual and excellent guides. I therefore recommend uroadventures for the professionalism of all the staff

Our fantastic honeymoon in Tanzania!
Our experience with URO was fantastic! The safari in Tanzania was organized perfectly, we had very experienced and helpful guides, ready to meet our every request! We had a lot of fun and thanks to them we admired all kinds of animals and landscapes. The experience of sleeping in tented camps puts you in direct contact with nature, the facilities proposed by URO were all excellent.

Unforgettable experience
I recommend the uroadventure agency 100%
Our safari was tailor-made after several discussions on WhatsApp and the program was respected and consistent with what we wanted.
Both the accommodation which was extraordinary as we were in total immersion in the savannah, as well as the delicious meals and picnics as well as our guide Omary who was brilliant. He had an eye for detecting animals in the distance and we learned a lot about them.
To do again, without hesitation!!
We came back with stars in our eyes

Great adventures with Uro
Antonio provided us guidance and support to organize the tour combining different type of experiences.
We visited Arusha National park where we did also a walking safari, Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Thanks to our guides (Ommy and Culvert) we were able to see many animals and the great migration.
We went to lake Natron, Materuni Waterfall, we had a cultural experience in Mto wa Mbu, we met Chagga tribe and we spend some days relaxing on the beach.
Uroadventure offered very tasty hot lunch everyday, excellent accommodations, and the prices are very convenient.
We will never forget this tour and we strongly recommend Uroadventure.

Unforgettable experience
Thanks to Uro Adventure & Safaris we had an amazing experience, Erick organized an incredible 9-day tour for us, where we visited the beautiful parks, lakes and waterfalls while staying in perfectly equipped tented camps and tasting real Tanzanian food. The scenery was enchanting, the wildlife at our fingertips, and our guide, Omari, able to solve any incovenience, was always available for any request.
An unforgettable experience, highly recommended.
