The most amazing trip, with the best guide - Kapande
This was our first safari, and we opted for a private tour with Uwanda.
It started in Dar Es Salaam where we were met by Kapande at our hotel. He then drove us to Nyerere National Park which took around 4/5 hours. We really enjoyed travelling by 4x4, with water and Aircon and good conversation.
When we arrived at the lodge (selous safari lodge) we were greeted with the most warm and lovely team. The lodge itself was beautiful, nothing was too much of a problem and the food was delicious. We didn't spend too much time at the lodge as our days were so full on in the national park, but when we were there it was perfect to relax.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We saw everything we wanted to, lions, elephants, giraffes, wild dogs, zebra, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, impala, hartebeests, wildebeests and so much more.
Our favourite experience was having a picnic outside of the vehicle in a large open area on the bonnet of the 4x4. We all kept an eye out for eachother, covering each others backs incase an animal was feeling a little too confident.
The tour itself was made so much more enjoyable because of Kapandes incredible knowledge of the park. Having worked across many national parks, his wildlife knowledge and good nature made it a real treat. We are even considering coming back to Tanzania to visit a different park with Kapande.
Once again, a huge thank you to Uwanda tours and Kapande. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Friendly and helpful
Very much enjoyed our tour. Staff at Thiam Travels were friendly and helpful throughout. Accommodations were lovely and Safari experience was good in spite of slightly inclement weather. Based on advertised costs for other safaris, this seemed good value for the money.

Great 9-day safari with excellent guides, great lodging, and smooth organization throughout.
We had a wonderful 9-day safari organized by Moran Discoveries & Tours in November, covering Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara in Kenya, and Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania. The itinerary was a well-designed mid-range option for our group of four (two couples), offering a good balance between comfort and adventure.
From the start, Moses was very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive — even before the trip began. Our game drivers in both Kenya and Tanzania were very skilled and experienced, and thanks to them we saw a wide range of animals, including the Big Five.
The accommodations throughout the journey were spot-on: comfortable, high-quality lodges and camps. The food was good as well. Everything was organized smoothly, so we didn’t have to worry about any logistics. Even during a challenging moment with unrest in Tanzania after the elections, Moses stayed with us and made sure we felt safe throughout the journey.
Overall, this was a memorable experience. We compared many offers beforehand, and Moran Discoveries & Tours offered a good ratio of price to quality.
We fully recommend Moran Discoveries & Tours. A special thank you to Moses and Andrew — we truly enjoyed your company and appreciate your support during the trip!

second safari
I went on a safari with my wife and a friend. We loved the safari. We managed to see all of the Big Five and many other animals in a beautiful landscape. The hotels were great and comfortable. Our guide/driver was excellent, never stopping looking for animals and the best angles to admire them and take pictures. This was my second safari and I loved it both times.
I recommend the tour and the company.

excellent
I took my 3 girls and I was a little nervous traveling by ourselves. Fede picked us up and we spent the next 5 days in his care. He was the best. I didn’t worry about anything i see his care and direction. He is such a kimd and caring person. He is very knowledgeable and while on the safari he was patient making sure we had the best experience seeing the animals. We got to see all the big 5 amd had the best shots as he patently waited for them. It was a dream fulfilled and we will cherish these memories forever. i highly recommend trusting Fede with the trip of a lifetime

An excellent tour guide who is flexible and a great communicator
Eric guided us on an excellent tour of his country where we hiked to see chimpanzees in Nyungwe National Park, golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, bird spotting on Lake Kivu and explored Kigali. At all times Eric was helpful and flexible, enabling us to add activities not included in the tour. We chose this particular trip as it covered everything we wanted to see in Rwanda and it didn't disappoint.
The whole experience was easy to book and communication with Eric was excellent throughout.
We would highly recommend Hope Tours and would definitely contact them again should we return to Rwanda.

The Legend of the Savannah: Why You MUST Book Papa Johns!
If you are planning a safari in Kenya and want the trip of a lifetime, stop looking and request Papa Johns immediately. We just returned from a week-long safari with him, and I can honestly say he was the highlight of the entire trip.
A guide can make or break a safari, and Papa Johns is in a league of his own. Here is why you need him:
Supernatural Vision: I am convinced this man has bionic eyes. While we were staring at empty grass, Papa Johns would spot a leopard in a tree or a rhino in the brush from a mile away. We saw the Big 5 and so much more purely because of his spotting skills.
Incredible Knowledge: He is a walking encyclopedia of the Kenyan ecosystem. He didn’t just show us animals; he explained their behaviors, the bird life, and the culture. He answered every single question we had with enthusiasm.
Perfect Positioning: For photography lovers, Papa Johns is a dream. He knows exactly where to position the vehicle for the best lighting and angles without ever disturbing the wildlife or making us feel unsafe.
The "Vibe": Spending a week in a car with someone requires a great personality. Papa Johns is kind, funny, patient, and professional. He knew when to crack a joke and when to let us sit in awe of nature.
He turned a vacation into a life-changing experience. To the tour company: Give this man a raise and your best clients. To future travelers: Ask for Papa Johns by name. You won't regret it!
