Best Guide with Local Connections
Nelson made our trip spectacular. He was very knowledgeable about all the parks and where the animals would be. In Amboseli he even timed the elephants walking path so that they walked toward our car as we reversed, even as all the other cars were behind the elephants. Nelson also knew all the local spots and took us to our favorite meal on lake Naivasha to eat fish right out of the lake. We thought Nelson was so great we added a few extra days with him during the trip and highly recommend him as a guide.

It was an amazing experience
It was an incredible experience. We were able to see all the animals I had dreamed of seeing since I was a child, and the service and attention the staff gave us were amazing. I truly appreciate all the logistics involved in planning the safari days and our stays at the beautiful hotels. I would definitely choose them again.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Dinton K
Murchison Falls National Park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, buffaloes, hippos, and crocodiles. Game drives on the northern bank offer classic savannah safari experiences with high chances of sightings, especially during the dry season.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Dinton K
Bwindi is home to almost half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, making it one of the most important places on Earth for gorilla trekking. The experience of tracking gorillas through dense rainforest and observing them up close is widely considered life-changing.

Review about Uganda by Dinton K
Often called “The Pearl of Africa,” Uganda has breathtaking landscapes that range from snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains to rolling savannahs, lush forests, crater lakes, and the mighty River Nile, the world’s longest river. Visitors can enjoy stunning scenery in national parks like Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley, each offering unique ecosystems and unforgettable views.

An Unforgettable 10-Day Adventure with Usaka Travels
We had an incredible experience with Usaka Travels, spending a total of 10 days with David and his wonderful team, including a Mt. Meru hike and a 5-day private safari. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine warmth.
Mt. Meru Hike:
The entire hiking crew was exceptional. The guides, ranger, porters, and cook were all incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the trek. Their teamwork and professionalism really stood out, and they made sure our whole family felt safe, motivated, and well cared for every step of the way. A special mention to the porters and cook—true unsung heroes who made the hike comfortable and enjoyable.
5-Day Safari Experience:
We did a private 5-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. The itinerary was very well planned, and the accommodations at Siafu Lodge and Kenzen Lodge were excellent—comfortable, clean, and relaxing after long game drives. The food was consistently great, which was especially appreciated since we are vegetarians.
David and our safari guide/driver Douglas were phenomenal. Game drives can always be a bit hit or miss, but both guides were extremely patient and went out of their way to ensure our safari was enjoyable and memorable. They made every possible effort to help us spot all the animals and truly cared about our experience.
Overall:
The private safari was absolutely worth it, and spending so many days with the Usaka team felt like traveling with trusted friends rather than a tour company. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and heartfelt experience in Tanzania—whether hiking, safari, or both—I highly recommend Usaka Travels.

a wildlife paradise
The Ngorongoro Crater day trip was unforgettable. The crater itself is massive and teeming with wildlife. I loved the balance of active game drives and moments to just admire the scenery. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience smooth and engaging. I feel so lucky to have seen rhinos, elephants, lions, and more in one place.

They were very professional.
They were very helpful and accommodating. The most important thing for me is flexibility, everything was planned and scheduled around my needs and requirements. I will most definitely recommend them.
