Warm and Friendly Team - Hamza was great!
My wife and I did a private tour safari with Wildebeest in Tanzania.
We had a FANTASTIC time and I recommend safari on the bucket list for anyone that's never been.
We had a good strong car, it was reasonably comfortable and it gave no trouble during the trip. Hamza our driver was very warm and friendly and we felt looked after from pick up to drop off.
We had fantastic experiences getting right up close to the animals and Hamza's experience here was invaluable. He was chatty and friendly but could tell when we were tired so didn't chat us to death after our long journey from London. He had a great eye for animals and spotted so much but could also sense when there was something about to happen and patience was required e.g. lions about to hunt, an elephant about to cross the road. There were times where people waited and he could tell they were done trying to hunt and recommend we move on but also times where he advised to wait it out and almost every other car had given up and we'd see a spectacular occurrence e.g. we saw 12 lions attack a huge buffalo, or cheetahs on the hunt. It was amazing and the insight he brought was really incredible.
I want to be realistic about this review and particularly say it's not like our trip was without hiccups because when visiting the wilderness that's just unrealistic. Our first hotel didn't have our booking and had to remind about being vegetarian after arriving but going to visit Africa the team are juggling lots of unexpected factors and they were very professional and apologetic about anything that didn't go fully to plan. They tended to any issues we had and resolved them as quick as possible and the reality was we didn't really have to worry about a thing because they took care of everything. Coming from the UK being able to make the entire payment by credit card was important to us for security and they were happy with that approach. Some companies really push and insist on cash payments and this extra security really helped. I think if you have an appreciation of everything they are juggling they really do a phenomenal job.
We'd thoroughly recommend Noah and his team and particularly if you're going to Tanzania ask for Hamza, he was fantastic!

Amazing Safari Experience at Mikumi
The Safari with Uhuru was really an amazing trip! From beginning to end we really enjoyed it.
The communications beforehand went smooth and everything was arranged as we wished.
In the Mikumi National Park we were very lucky to see so many animals, had a great stay at the Stanley’s Kopje and an even greater driver. Emmanuel is a perfect driver and guide, not only by showing all animals but also giving a lot of interesting information about the wildlife. Also, he was totally flexible with our wishes. We really enjoyed our time with him!
In total, we can highly recommend a tour to Mikumi with Uhuru.

Great first safari!
I took the 5 day gorillas and chimps safari.
Communication prior to the trip was very good, and Richard kept on top of things.
While in Uganda, I spent my time predominantly with Richard and his trainee guide Jonah. They were attentive and very pleasant. The same applies to everyone I was introduced to.
The trip was well managed with Richard being punctual and organised. Two of the planned accommodations differed, but their substitutes still gave me a good night's rest.
I was unfortunately not able to see the chimpanzees, but I had many other amazing animal encounters. Great care was taken to ensure I was not disappointed. Additionally, I also had the opportunity to visit the communities with guides.
It was my first time in Africa and I was kept busy while safe and comfortable. I'm very pleased I chose Karumuna Safaris and would recommend them to anyone wanting to visit Uganda.

Amazing experience!
Amazing experience during 3 days of gamedrives. We could not have chosen a better company! Alpha, the owner of the company, always very attentive and solicitous. He made a point of aligning the entire Safari path in person and made sure we were fine all the time. Beaver, our driver, very attentive and friendly. With his wisdom he taught us a lot every day. In addition, I always looked for the best ways so we could have the best times. If I were to do Safari again I would do with the same company for sure and I indicate a lot!

Great trip with IIA
We had a fantastic time travelling with Incredible Africa Adventures to Magoroto Forest Estate. Magoroto is full of natural beauty. If some one want to enjoy the nature away from the city noises,then Magoroto is the place your looking for. You will not get Mobile network no other ways to keep you away from nature. Just a Tent and the lake and mountain. Adventurous kind where u feel alienated from the world and get closer to yourself more. I really recommend Incredible Africa for your Tanzania tour and trips.

Excellent company and wonderful service!
On the recommendation of a friend, I met WildWays and it was great to have Safari with them. Everyone we had contact with was super attentive and helpful, always available. We did 3 nights and visited Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Our guide, Beaver, made no effort to see as many animals as possible. The lodges were great and according to what we had hired. All excellent staffs! An amazing experience I want to repeat! Att, @cabenorote

Thoroughly Fabulous Safari
In September my parents and I went on a truly fantastic 5 day safari organised by Hazina Afrika. Company Director Rama is extremely knowledgeable and was thoughtful and conscious of our needs from the start, putting together a bespoke itinerary which put us in the best possible position to see what we wanted, and with quality, reasonably priced accommodation as well as our own vehicle and driver. I mentioned early on that I particularly wanted to see the great wildebeest migration, specifically a river crossing, but only had a limited amount of time, and the itinerary he put together suited perfectly, flying us from Arusha to northern Serengeti, then driving us down to central Serengeti, into Ngorongoro Conservation Area and on to Lake Manyara National Park. Rama prepared us well for the trip, sending through vital information about what to bring, wear, etc - we found his guide to giving appropriate tips to be particularly helpful given Australia's general lack of tipping culture!
Our amazing guide Jimmy met us off the plane and proved to be both experienced and extremely knowledgeable, with a keen eye for spotting wildlife - sometimes at ridiculous distances - and a knack for anticipating their movement and getting us as near as possible. We were very fortunate to see two river crossings in one day, as well as an impressive assortment of animals, often very close and always with a fascinating array of information. Hazina can also book additional activities such as museum stops, balloon rides and cultural tours - they arranged for us to visit a Maasai Boma on our way into the Ngorongoro crater and learned a great deal from the experience.
The entire trip could not have been better organised or executed. It was my parents' first visit to the region and neither have stopped raving about it almost a full month later. We truly had the adventure of a lifetime and would recommend Hazina Afrika in a heartbeat to anyone wanting to explore northern Tanzania's breathtaking wildlife and natural heritage.
