A must do safari experience add on when visiting Zanzibar
From booking the Safari tour directly with Uwanda Tours, the communication was good from the start. The price was a very good all inclusive package including round trip airport transfers.
We were picked up directly from the airport landing strip and straight into the safari jeep, great welcome and first impressions. The jeep seated 6 but we had it privately for a group of 2 which we loved. Our guide Mr Martin, was amazing, he asked our preferences and did the best job of finding all the animals for us, as well as being very knowledgable and giving lots of useful info about Tanzania, the animals and everything else. The game drive was above all my expectations, i really did have an amazing day, so much so that I will be rebooking for a full safari trip at a later date. The lunch on the game drive was also delicious and I am a fussy eater!
The accomadation provided was spacious and clean, with a lovely pool too. we had lots of visitors - monkeys! all around the resort. my only issue with the resort was that there was no restaurant menu, there was only 1 dish provided for lunch and dinner, so if you have any dietary requirements you will need to prepare in advance.
Day 2, we absolutely loved the Maasai village tour, however didnt love the river cruise, I found it quite boring, so given the choice I would choose a second game drive!
my only issue for the whole trip was the lack of communication at the airport leaving Zanzibar, there were multiple flights, no boarding passes and lots of confusion!
But overall we had an amazing trip and was a great expereince and also great value for money.
highly recommend.

Amazing safari experience with Kapande, exactly what we were looking for!
We had an amazing 8-day safari with Kapande, traveling to three parks (Ruaha, Mikumi, & Nyerere). Communication with Kapande and Uwanda Tours was very easy and clear; we were picked up from our hotel in Iringa to start the safari. The accommodations throughout the week were all very nice, and everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. Kapande was the perfect safari guide; he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and parks, and he communicated with other guides to make sure we saw plenty of animals.
Overall, it was a 10/10 week! Thank you Uwanda Tours and Kapande!

Very good
Our 5 days tour was great, a lot of it due to our guide, Kapande. From the moment he picked us up from our Airbnb to the day he dropped us off, he gave us all needed explanations, he arranged all details for our stay. As for his safari guiding it was excellent, he gave us informations and shared his knowledge on the animals we spotted, he knew where to go in both parks we visited and offered us an amazing experience and adventure for our first safari! I would recommend Kapande as a guide because he has a great experience and he puts it in good use with the people he is guiding.

Amazing adventure!
This was my first safari and it was an unforgettable adventure!
Me and my friend booked the 5 day safari to Mikumi and Nyerere national parks.
Perfection was obvious from the first minutes when our driver and guide Kapande, was spot on to the appointment place and time. Although the roads in Tanzania are chaotic, he was always careful and consistent with his driving and got us safely to our first lodge. During our game drives to both parks, he was always eager to share his knowledge about the animals we encountered and made every possible effort so that we can see up close as many animals as possible! Aside from that, he was also very friendly and with many many safari stories to share and excite our interest for the next time! I wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide. He made our first safari unforgettable.
Regarding the company now, they were very precise from the get go. The email communication with them was easy. The offer and relevant documents provided were accurate. The payment process seamless. Everything unfolded exactly as it was described in the initial offer.
To conclude, whatever the type of the safari is, you can trust Uwanda Tours And Safaris to make it unforgettable. And ask for Kapande as your guide!

Unforgettable experience with a world-class team !!!
We had an absolutely fantastic 3-day safari tour at Nyerere park, that exceeded all our expectations!
Mahamudu Omar is a phenomenal tour-guide! His deep understanding and knowledge about animal behavior and wildlife made every drive special. We learned so much and felt incredibly lucky to have him by our side.
Our driver Mkali did a fantastic job! Navigating the rough terrain seemed effortless, and we always felt completely safe. Plus, they had a great eye for spotting animals and placing the jeep in the perfect place for taking good pictures.
This team made our trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Mahamudu and Mkali! 10/10!
Fantastic safari.
We had a fantastic 3 day safari in Selous. Our driver and guide Mr Poli and Mr Martin were absolutely brilliant , they were both very knowledgeable and funny making us both laugh. We saw everything we wanted even waiting for nearly 3 hours for the Leopard to come out of some bushes , awesome.
We only gave 4 stars due to us paying extra to stay at Mufasa tented camp and them not passing the details to any staff. We arrived to an empty camp wih no staff there only a Massai who was guarding camp. We had to wait until staff arrived later before we could do anything. Not the staff's fault just bad management planning.The staff were fantastic and location brilliant on the lake edge.
Also alcohol was not provided ( you have to bring your own) and not mentioned on website , which would have been a nice end to a day's safari watching the sun go down.

The operator is very conscientious and transparent. They are responsive to individual requests and
We went on a two-day safari, and of course, the highlight was the game drives in the Jeep. We had a very experienced guide named Martin. What we particularly appreciated was the way he showed us the Selous National Park, always with great respect for nature and the animals, combined with a wealth of knowledge.
Kazungu is also a very careful and considerate driver.
We also highly recommend the boat safari, which we booked with the same operator the day before.

A well structured and organised excursion, from start to finish, letting us enjoy every moment.
Booked via WhatsApp from their instagram page. Always contactable and quick to respond and offer a range of experiences.
We opted for the 3 nights and 4 day package, which allowed us to gain the most from our experience here in Tanzania. Everything was well organised, including transfers, flights, accommodation, trips and even meals, which left us to relax and enjoy without having to worry about the logistics.
Our tour guide Martin and driver Poli were knowledgeable but friendly and welcoming for our game drives. The other guides, whose names I unfortunately don’t remember for the bush walk and village tour, were also excellent. As were all of the staff at the Selous Safari Lodge. The room was clean upon arrival, along with being cleaned daily and the food at the lodge had tasty set meals.
Overall a fantastic experience that topped off our honeymoon and can’t thank all those involved enough. Memories we will cherish forever.

An unforgettable safari with Raphael
We had a wonderful experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris. Everything was well organized, communication was clear, and the whole trip felt smooth and reliable from start to finish. Our guide, Raphael, was exceptional: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. His experience made every game drive more interesting, and he helped make the safari truly memorable. Excellent service and great value for money—we would happily recommend Uwanda Tours and Safaris to anyone planning a safari.
NOTE: I’d recommend avoiding bank transfers if possible, as Tanzanian banks can be slow with timing and communication.
