3 day Luxery Safari
Good communication. On time for everything. Guide was great and a pleasure when driving us around. There was a problem with the truck but he fixed it within a 15 minutes and we were back to looking for animals again. Would recommend this company for a future safari.

Our Tour guide Nestor was very friendly and knowledgable.
The Safari was great and we had the best tour guide ever. We saw thousands of animals and our guide Nestor always tried to find the best spots to look for new ones.
The lodge where we stayed for the 2 nights (Tan Swiss Lodge) was not nice. Horrible rooms and most horrible food.

For a lifetime
We started our tour with a wonderful flight from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro-Airport/Tanzania. Everything was perfectly organized, the driver, the good hotel in Arusha and next morning the 4by4 car with the very professional driver and guide Abraham and his new colleague Tobi, a volunteer. There were so many things to see and to hear, especially the very good explanations of our guides. They knew everything about politics, economy, botanic, animals, natives. And the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Natron. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, we slept in cozy tents and hotels, had good food and very special surprises like a bath in a waterfall in Maasai country.
All in all it was simply perfect. The very best driver. We felt very safe. The very best schedule by the Uhurus. An adventure for a lifetime. We plan now to go back next year and to use the help of Abdallah and his Uhuru-Team again, the firendly Mr. Abraham, Mr. Loy etc.
Thank you very very much!

Reliable and Competent
Uhuru Travel gave me sufficient and detailed information on my safari and gave attention to all my wishes. The tour itself was well organized, the guide attentive and competent.

Uhuru Travel Brings you at the heart of the Wild Africa
The tour started from Arusha. Mr Loy met us in front of the hotel and after a short briefing we left, very early in the morning, by car, a huge 4by4 driven by the best driver we have ever known: Abraham. He brings us for a couple of thousands kms from lake manyara passing through ngorongoro, serengeti, lake ndutu, tarangire back to Arusha again. Everything was simply perfect, no other words I can use. Than mr Loy met us at the Arusha airport and stayed with us until the check-in. We arrived in Zanzibar in two Hours. There a taxi send by Abdallah, brings us to the jambiani whitesand boungalows, a very nice and comfortable resort really on the beach. We than met Abdallah in Stone Town, at the headquarter of Uhuru Travel. He is a very good and gentle boy. We had a wonderful holiday thanks to Uhuru Travel.

Nice tour ... but appalling customer service
I must say, I am really disappointing by Uhuru.
The good organisation upfront promised a great adventure, but instead we got an old uncomfortable car that had to go to repairs 3 (!!) times during our tour. And it rained through the roof and I couldn't open my window. All in all not ruining a tour, as the game drives were fantastic and the hotels really nice. But as we reached out after the tour to give our feedback, the reaction was that we were accused to have made things up. Unbelievable!!!

so beautiful
It was a very good time in Mikumi national park, the driver/ Guide, called Davis, was a spezial man, he knows all about the Park and the animals. We saw soooooo much animals and at the end 5 lions, that was great! The Tan Swiss Longe was nice, good food and a nice bungalow. Only the lunch box from them wasn't so good...
We had a very nice safari and we would book again ...with the driver Davis

3 days / 2 nights Mikumi - great first safari with Uhuru Travel & Tours
This was our very first safari. Mikumi NP and Uhuru Travel & Tours turned both out to be good choices for this purpose. We slightly modified the itinerary without having to pay extra for it - pick up at a city center hotel and drop off at the airport in time for our international flight back home. Mikumi NP offered everything we expected to see. One afternoon and one full day game drive provided enough time to explore the park.

Not what expected for 1600 USD/person.
Six nights in Serengeti. First night in Impala Hotel in Arusha was awful. We did'nt have electricity in the room and in the bathroom. Breakfast was awful. Never accept Impala Hotel ! Tour and guide itself was good. The standard was not what was promised. Luxory tented camp was far from luxory tent. I have been in a luxory tent as well. Arrangements in Arusha at the end of the tour were poor. 1600 USD price/person is far too high compared with the standard.

Great experience
Great service and experience - from pickup in Dar to drop-off three days later. Our guide and driver Davies was very knowing and nice; can be recommended.
