Excellent safari experience and good service. Selous safari and Kinga Lodge.
Uhuru Travel gave us a very competitive price for our 3 days. They kept in contact and we even had a guide with us from Uhuru Travel to our destinasjon. The whole pakage was well organized and we were given very good service. We travelled by fast boat to Dar Es Salam and were then driven in a safari jeep to Selous. Our driver drove well on difficult roads. On the journey we got to see some of Tanzania. Our lodgings were 3 cabins with very comfortable beds and 2 showers. On the first evening we had a boat safari until sundown. Our guide knew about the wildlife we came across; many hippopotamuses, some crocodiles, bee eaters and fish eagles amongst other things. We finished by watching the sun go down on an island in the middle of the river. The second day was safari day. Up early and then to the game reserve. Here most animals need to be searced for. Giraffes and impala are everywhere. We were very Lucky and saw three lions, an elephant, a few shy zebra and a hyena, buffalo, kudo, amongst many others. Our driver knew a lot about the animals and we drove far and wide to find the lions and elephant. A very fun experience. On the last day we had a walking safari with a bushman who showed us many uses for plants. Then breakfast and two small planes back to Zanzibar. A fun experience in itself. Kinga Lodge provided good food, was friendly and well kept.

Perfect organisation. Flexible timeplanning. Valuable suggestions. Experienced ans helpful Guide.
We enjoyed our Safari Experience and can warmly recommend Uhuru Travel in DarEsSalaam. We wanted just visit the Mikumi Np but the recommendation from Uhuru Travel to visit Udzungwa Mountains turned out to be a Great choice! The driver and guide Julius was very friendly, helpful and experienced and with very good knowlage of wildlife, fauna and culture. The car was an older Land Rover without ac but with excellent offroad qualities and the missing ac was absolutely no problem in June . The accomodations Udzungwa falls Lodge and Stanleys Kopje was excellent. We definitly would book our next trip in Tanzania with Uhuru Travel.

Highly efficient, trustworthy, experienced, friendly, professional - the BEST in East Africa!
From the moment I stepped into the offices of Uhuru Travel & Tours, I was met with nothing but the most professional, efficient, reliable, honest and warm-welcoming attitude, service and communication. Not only did they facilitate my personalized travels in Zanzibar, they made my beautiful, customized trip to the Ngorongoro Crater to celebrate my birthday work out perfectly! Experienced owner Abdallah Ramadhan seems well-connected with locals on the ground, as well as other travel and tour operators around Zanzibar and Tanzania.

Everything was perfect!
We had a great safari to Ruaha national park and finished it off at Zanzibar. Ubezi and Abdallah were very professional and precise in their communications. Their responses to emails were always on time with all required details. Everything went according to the plan and we were taken Care of very well! Would certainly recommend Uhuru for their commitment, pricing and professionalism.

What can you expect, not the extra mile.....
I made my decision for Uhuru because they offered the tour I wanted to do and their price was good. We had several exchange of mails and all went quite well. We realised after that the plan they proposed was unrealistic and the driver, who was excellent, told us it was always like that. Mostly by companies based in Zanzibar....
For the payment, keep some of the total with you. There are always, always, always changes...T.I.A
Still enjoy, beautifull part of the world.
Reply from Soul of East Africa Safaris (Uhuru Travel)
Posted on May 19, 2018Thanks for your mail and also the complements. The issue is Asilia Camps push up their last minutes rates and we had no options. The Issue of concession fees has been introduced from 2017. If you compare the price for last minutes and their real price then you still got the best price, i do not see any reason of complaining! The price per night in Sayari Camp you booked in was $900+ per night means its was like $1800 for 2 nights for accommodation only! But you got it for only $1500 for All Inclusive Accommodation and Return flights to Serengeti from Zanzibar. The above complains has been addressed and such things will never happen to any other client. In case of any increments we shall inform our clients accordingly in advance.
Yours Faithfully,
Uhuru Travel & Tours Ltd Team.

10-Day Luxury Wildlife Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holidays met all my expections plus!
This trip lived up to my expectations and beyond. I saw everything that I wanted to see and more. My tour guides went beyond the call of duty. Abraham was guide in Tanzania. He could spot animals that I would have missed, He taught me so much about the animals and the Tanzanian people and culture. He was a pleasure to be with. Ubezi was my guide in Zanzibar. He made sure I learned everything about Zanzibar. When I went on the Blue Safari, I got ill. I asked to go to the hospital. While there Ubezi stayed with me until I was discharged. All went well and by the next day I was almost 100% back to normal. It was comforting to me, knowing I that I was in good hands. The memories I have are wonderful. I hope to be able to come back again.

3-Day Last Minute Fly in Safari from Zanzibar to Ngorongoro Crater
The safari itself gives a very good opportunity to quickly experience three different Africa, all three parks are bit different in their settings and we managed to see all big animals, lions and lots of elephants. Spending the first night in safari tented lodge was also very exciting as, we spotted lions resting some 50meters from the camp and there is no fence around it.. The third day flight back could have been later, so we could have spent a little bit more time in Menyara NP, we started the day at 5:30am, to spend at least 2 hours in the park and get on time to the flight.
The driver was very pleasant and adapted to all our needs. The experience overall was very positive, they were resposive and followed up on everything.

Very good communication and organization.
I contacted several agencies, narrowed it down to 2, and ended up going with Uhuru due to their responsiveness and price options. The communication was great, they answered email almost immediately, answered all questions and suggested alternative itineraries. Their representatives were prompt when meeting us at the airport with the documents, and the drivers they provided were also prompt with scheduled hotel transfers. Great experience overall, would not hesitate to do it again, or recommend to others!
