unforgettable safari with a very experienced guide and driver via very reliable company
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our safari in Nyerere National Park.
From the very beginning of our direct booking with Uwanda, we had excellent communication via WhatsApp. Questions were answered immediately.
A day beforehand, we were informed about an early morning pickup from our hotel in Zanzibar. Upon arrival at Mtmere Airstrip, our professional driver, Shabani, and expert guide, Mr. Martin, were waiting to immediately begin one of our private game drives.
We enjoyed our time with Mr. Shabani and Mr. Martin in the park, as well as Selous Safari Lodge with its spacious detached cottages, tours in Mloka Village, our time with the Maasai, and the boat trip on the Rufiji River.
Mr. Shabani guided us safely over the most difficult roads, and Mr. Martin was very enthusiastic and told us a lot about the many animals we saw.
Everything was well-organized, punctual, professional, and with a smile. I would definitely book with Uwanda again next time.
In total it was beyond our expectations.
Compliments for everyone!

Well organized tour that strives for excellent service.
5/5

Good value for your money. Apparently there are even better parks in Tanzania but we wanted a short cheap safari experience quick and easy and you couldn't ask for that to be fulfilled in a better way. Got to see many Giraffes, Elephants, Crocodiles, Hippos, Baboons, Pumbas, Zebras, Wilderbeasts, Impalas beautiful Birds and much more in their natural habitat. Great experience for a first little safari. Beautiful diverse landscape including the 2nd largest river in Africa. Lots of friendly people and smiles everywhere except for the car drivers for some reason.. :) And the Selous Lodge staff is the friendliest hotel staff I have experienced and they helped us learn some Swahili on the go. My heart is filled with joy. Asante sana.

Thank you Uwanda and especially Kapande for the unforgettable safari experience.
5/5

Our three-day Safari with our guide, Kapande, was incredible.
Kapande has incredible knowledge of african wildlife, flora and fauna. Thanks to his knowledge of the area, we were able to observe hippos, giraffes, zebras, impalas, warthogs, buffalo, elephants and a lion, among others.
This safari was breathtaking for me and will remain unforgettable.

An outstanding safari
5/5

We booked a three-day Safari to Nyerere National Park with Uwanda.
The booking process and pre-trip communication were excellent. Our emails were answered satisfactorily.
We were picked up from our hotel in Dar es salaam by our guide, Kapande, who accompanied us throughout our safari.
Kapande is a very competent, yet courteous and exceptionally polite guide who answered all our questions and accomodated all our requests. We participated in a boat safari, a full-day safari and a short walking safari all of which were excellently selected and organized by Uwanda.
Kapande accompanied us on the full-day Safari, continually providing us with usefull information about the park and introducing us to the animals and plants in the park. It was a fascinating and exceptionally beautifull experience!
A safari with Uwanda, especially with Kapande as guide, is a wonderful way to experience the national park.

5/5

We booked only one week before this extreamly good organized safari tour to Nyere national park. Our guide Ramah was great and showed us many different places and animals. He explained many things and had an answer to all of our questions. It was a great experience and we are really looking forward to repeat this any time.

A reliable and experienced tour operator offering unforgettable wildlife adventures.
5/5

We had an amazing safari in Nyerere National Park! Our guide Malongo was fantastic – very knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas, and even a leopard, which is incredibly rare to spot. His driving was smooth and safe, and he always seemed to know where to go for the best sightings. An unforgettable experience – highly recommended!

The most magical 4 days!
5/5

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all your team for giving us such a magical experience in Tanzania for 4 days. The highlight of our trip was our fantastic guide Emen and his driver (sorry we did not catch his name). They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and we got the best experience out of our game drives. It was clear they both had fantastic knowledge on the reserve and the animals. The driver was exceptionally skilled over some of the more challenging terrain. We wish we could have made our experience longer and will definitely be returning - a night safari is on our bucket list! 

The accommodation has also been brilliant and we have enjoyed the service and smiles of their staff!
