Amazing
5/5

Me and my husband did a one day safari at Nyerere National park. Our guide/driver name was Assad. Assad had the BEST car that gave us a true safari vibe and experience. The ride was so comfortable and smooth. Assad made sure that we got to see as many animal as possible during our drive! We wished we had 2 weeks with Assad because one day Safari felt like 3 hours because it was so much fun!
Assad could speak perfect English with made the experience even better. Assad made everything he could to make us happy! He even gave us an exciting ride when we he was looking for an elephant pack! I can’t even describe how lucky we were to get Assad! His kindness and knowledge about the animals and the drive was over the top! Also, unfortunately had a sad experience at the range. Another company had booked to many guests on our return flight and the ranger and a man called Fernando tried to force us to stay behind at the park!! We said no because we had a ticket but Fernando was very aggressive and tried to get me and my husband off the plane. Thanks to Assad who spoke to the pilot and the ranger as well as other passengers we could return to Zanzibar. Assad never left us until the flight was up in the air. It’s because of Assad that we could return to Zanzibar. I don’t even know what would happen to us it Assad wasn’t there. Also there was a tall guy on the Safari that wasn’t that nice during the breaks.

So to sum everything up. Me and my husband will come back for 2 weeks next year because of Assad and we only want Assad. We will ONLY recommend Assad. If Assad isn’t there we or our friends/family won’t come. It’s not safe if his not at the park due to aggressive men like Fernando and the ranger. Please make sure that you ask for Assad and make sure that it is Assad that will be taking care of you!

UWANDA SAFARIS is the name of the company that Assad works for!

BEST PRICE WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE
5/5

Me and my wife went on a 2-days Selous drive with Uwanda Tours and Safaris. As we left from ZAnzibar, we chose to travel by airoplane to not loose to much time travelling. After sending an application via the website, Uwanda Tours and Safaris provide a Whatsapp service; a telephone number is shared for comminication; All questions before and after ordering were answered adequately within 1 to 2 minutes, that is QUALITY which deserves respect! The included taxi service to the airport arrived punctual at the hotel to pic us up, similar for the return from the airport to back to the hotel; again a professional service. The taxi driver guided us to the waiting zone to board the airplane where another "Uwanda" awaited us, he lead us to the entrance and gate for boarding. After a 25 min flight, we arrived at the Nyerere National Park where we were awaited by our driver for the Selous game drive: Maarufu. As our Jeep stood right next to the landed airoplane, we immediatly started the Selous game drive. Maarufu appeared to be very motivated by going the extra mile for us: we must say, a time of a lifetime experience!
The second day is a bit less filled but the boot tour and visit to the village were worth doing... we still would recommend the 2 days - before the 1 day trip. It would have been perfect if we would have been aware in advance that our lodge where we staid has a swimmingpool so we would have brought our swimming gear. Returning to Zanzibar, pick up - flight - taxi, all punctual and professional again. Thank you Uwanda Tours and Safari for this great experience!

It was a wonderful trip with wonderful guides!
5/5

We booked the trip from Germany at very short notice, but everything was 100% perfect. When we landed in Nyerere NationalPark, our super guide picked us up right away. Our guide (Mr. Martin aka. Rasti) accompanied us in the 3 days. Top information, very very nice, perfectly organized by the agency and the driver and guide were super nice. We had a lot of fun and would book the Tour Rasti again at any time.;-) THX!

Reliable Tour Operator
5/5

We participated in a three day safari to the selous nationalpark. Everything was organised very good - the trip by plane, the accomodation at the
national park and the safari.
We specially liked the different kinds of safaris we got offered - we had a boat safari, a whole day game drive and a walking safari with a bushman - so each of them was very different and interesting. We also saw animals, which are rare to see in Selous, like lions, elephants, hyenas and wild dogs - special thanks therefore to our guide Alea Lunga.
We had a great time! We can really recommend Uwanda tours and safaris.

Excellent service, unforgettable Safari
5/5

We had a fantastic experience with Uwanda tours. We signed up for a 1-day safari in Mikumi (leaving from Zanzibar) very last minute; we communicated easily via WhatsApp and had all our questions immediately answered which gave us the confidence to book with Uwanda.
The safari itself was amazing. Everything worked seamlessly, we saw more than we could have hoped for in one day and travelled comfortably in a small group of five. A big thank you to our excellent guide James and skilled driver Felix who were helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable.

We got an excelente service from our operator, Mr. Martin, from the moment we arrived to Selous Safari, to the moment he put us back on the plane. He is really experienced, loves nature and respects animals. He is fun, super friendly and gave great insights about the animals. He is also great with kids, our son really liked him!
