An amazing safari experience with a very well-organized agency!
Our guide Kapande, in particular, was the person who turned our dream into reality in the best possible way! Extremely polite and very helpful, he organized and managed everything exactly as it should have been!!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCED
A fantastic experience, with the organizers being excellent professionals. Mr. Kapande is an excellent driver and guide. He is polite and eager to accommodate all our wishes. I would choose him again for a future safari without a second thought. The gentlemen in charge of both the boat safari and the walking safari are wonderful people, making every excursion a unique experience for us.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience – Special Thanks to Martin!
What an absolutely incredible experience! Our safari was truly one of the most unforgettable adventures of our lives, and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Everything was perfectly organized from the very moment we set off until the end of the trip. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the African wilderness.
A very special thank you goes to our amazing guide, Martin, who made this experience truly exceptional! His professionalism, kindness, and genuine passion for wildlife were outstanding. He took wonderful care of our children, always making sure they felt comfortable, safe, and included in every moment of the adventure. Our family’s safety was clearly his top priority throughout the entire safari.
But what impressed us most was Martin’s extraordinary knowledge of the bush and its wildlife. Thanks to his experience, sharp eyes, and deep understanding of animal behavior, we were able to track a pride of lions, witness them hunting a wild buffalo, and even watch them feeding on their prey! It was an absolutely breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter that we will never forget!
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made this adventure possible, and especially to Martin for going above and beyond to give our family such an extraordinary experience.
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! And Martin, you are simply the BEST! 🦁🐘❤️
We wholeheartedly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic, exciting, safe, and unforgettable African adventure!
Professional and delivered exactly as they promised.
We chose Uwanda based on their excellent reviews and value of their itineraries.
We chose their 8 day Safari visiting Mikumi, Ruaha, Udzungwa Forest and Nyerere. Communication before our booking was very good and they were happy to amend the suggested itinerary by spending a night at Udzungwa Forest Reserve rather than the proposed overnight stay in Morogoro. This did involve a much longer drive ( all day) to Nyerere and a slight change in doing our boat Safari and Bush Walk in Nyerere on the last morning before driving back to Dar Es Salaam.
Our driver and guide Ahmad Bakuru was friendly and always punctual. He was a very safe driver and knowledgeable about the wildlife that we saw.
Our first stop was Mikumi staying at Camp Bastion which exceeded our expectations in terms of accommodation. The afternoon game drive was a lovely introduction seeing Elephants Hippos as well as the usual game.
Following morning we drove to Ruaha Hilltop Lodge which again was very comfortable. We spent 3 nights here doing 2 full day safari in Ruaha. The vistas were amazing and we saw lots of wildlife including Lions on a Buffalo kill.
We then drove to Udzwunga Forest Reserve staying at Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp. We did a short hike to a lovely waterfall seeing Black and White Colobus Monkey as well as the endemic Red Colobus Monkey. We were even more delighted to see the Red Colobus Monkey again right in front of our tent in the evening and again the following morning.
Our final stay was at Selous Safari Lodge which again was very nice. We did a full day safari in Nyerere and were lucky to see Lions, Wild Dogs and Hyenas.
On the final morning we did a Bush Walk learning about animal tracks and how our ancestors survived in the bush. Finally we ended our safari with a boat trip on the Rufiji seeing Hippos up close and numerous colourful birds.
Ahmed then drove us back to our Hotel in Dar Es Salaam.
In conclusion we experienced a fantastic 8 days and we thank Uwanda and particularly Ahmad for delivering a great value Safari that exceeded our expectations.
Thank you.

An Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Our 8-day private safari with Kapande, starting in Ruaha, continuing through Mikumi, and ending in Nyerere, was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. The parks were peaceful, with very few other people around, allowing us to enjoy breathtaking wildlife sightings and truly experience the beauty of Tanzania in an intimate and authentic way.
Our guide, Kapande, was exceptional. He was incredibly friendly, respectful towards the animals, and knew the areas like the back of his hand. He always shared fascinating insights about the wildlife, plants, and local surroundings, making every day not only exciting but also educational. His knowledge, passion, and genuine respect for nature made the entire experience even more special.
The accommodations were beautiful, small, and family-run, with clean and comfortable rooms, incredibly friendly staff, and delicious food. The entire trip was perfectly organized, and everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. We felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of at every moment.
This safari was so much more than just a holiday — it was a truly magical experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more wonderful journey.
We wholeheartedly recommend Kapande and this safari to anyone looking for an authentic, peaceful, and unforgettable wildlife experience in Tanzania!
