Amazing safari off-the-beaten tracks
5/5

Are you looking for a safari where you are not surrounded by ten or more other cars while observing the lions feasting on a kudu? Then you should definitely try out Ruaha National Park!
We stayed at the Mdonya Old River Tented Camp, a wonderful oasis tens of kilometers away from any other camp with roaring lions in the bush when you fall asleep at night and a herd of impalas in front of the tent when you wake up in the morning. The tented camp is beautifully located and the tents are spotless clean, with a lovely bathroom attached, comfy beds and fluffy blankets and bath towels. Beside this well maintained infrastructure, the staff make this camp a place of relaxation and pure bliss you don't want to leave. After having been in several National Parks and lodges over the last three years, I would definitely recommend Mdonya Old River Camp to anyone who looks for an off-the-beaten tracks experience.
Uhuru Travel organized this safari, picked us up at home and dropped us back at the end - all highly professionally done and extremely smooth for us (Uhuru Travels seems to work with Swiss watches!). Communicating with Uhuru Travel was easy and whenever any question before leaving we got instant replies.

Amazing service and trip of a lifetime
5/5

A friend and I did a lot of research prior to going with Uhuru. After much consideration, we booked 3 safari days in Selous, 3 safari days in Ruaha and 2 beach days in Zanzibar. From the start, the communication was phenomenal. It continued throughout the trip. From our guides, to the accommodations, to the transportation and transfers, everything has been spot on. I cannot recommend Uhuru strongly enough. Asante sana for the trip of a lifetime!

Great experience in the Serengeti
5/5

From the beginning communication with Uhuru Travel & Tours was excellent. Mr. Loy met up before we left on our safari from Arusha, as well as upon our return to Arusha. Margaret was extremely responsive to all email communications. The actual safari was great. The food while camping far exceeded our expectations. It was a great experience.

Lots of animals chilling, beautiful national park!
5/5

They were very quick to reply to emails. The drive from dar is quite long so be prepared with stuff to listen to. We had a swimming pool in our accommodation so had a nice evening swim and some decent food.

The guide asked us what we wanted to see and was happy to stop when we wanted. The scenery itself was just beautiful and we saw lots of animals (elephants, lions, zebras etc. etc.)

Magical and Memorable 15 day Safari Tour in Kenya and Tanzania!
5/5

Uhuru Travel and Tours arranged an amazing and well planned 2 weeks Safari trip for my two sisters and myself. We wanted to see animals and we did!! We traveled overland from Nairobi to Amboseli, Lake Manyara, Norongono, Oldupai Gorge, the Serengeti, Lake Victoria, the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru while watching animals practically 24/7. The office staff was prompt and responsive to our requests and flexible and very easy to work with. The attention to detail was thorough and competent and the arrangements all ran very smoothly. The price was reasonable and excellent value. The vehicles we traveled in (a van in Kenya and a Toyoto Land Cruiser in Tanzania) were well maintained and comfortable. The accommodations, lodges and campsites, were well chosen, lovely and extremely comfortable for the 3 of us. The food everywhere was delicious - bountiful buffets in the big lodges and always a variety everywhere. Ample and very good picnic lunches.

Our guide and driver in Kenya, John Maina, was very kind and responsive, and attentive to the administrative details of the tour. He was a most experienced and careful driver - sometimes having to navigate very difficult terrain. His wealth of knowledge of animals, birds and the country and customs of Kenya was vast and so appreciated! As well as his good eyesight in finding animals hiding in the bush. When he couldn't identify a bird, he would look it up in the wonderful bird book which his father (also a guide) had given him. We would want to travel with him again for sure.

In Tanzania we changed vehicles and our guide was Kelvin Gervas and our drive was Meshalu Godwin. Both these gentlemen took very good care of us and were so kind, thoughtful and competent in their handling of the logistics of the trip with hotels, rest stops, etc. Meshalu was a safe and capable driver, patient and responsive. Kelvin was a wonderful guide, with a sharp and keen eye, constantly pointing out animals and birds we would not otherwise have noticed. His love and knowledge of the animals, birds and the areas we visited was amazing and he was always willing to increase this by referencing books he had with him. We learnt so much and were so entertained by his stories and experiences! It was so much fun! We would request him to be our guide next time and highly recommend him.

We so enjoyed everything on this marvellous trip and we were so happy with all the arrangements. The variety and amount of birds and animals was incredible with many unforgettable experiences. It more than exceeded my expectations. For all these reasons I would definitely recommend Uhuru Travel and Tours.

great safari in Tanzania Southern parks
4/5

we enjoyed 5 days safari with family in Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha. The organisation was just perfect, the guide Miriam very nice and the driver an expert despite the roads! they took very good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Only downside if I may was the car which already went through many safaris and was a litle old... thanks to the great driver we never felt in danger though!

Margaret who booked all the accomodation for us always made sure everything was going well and that was very much appreciated as we could add a visit in Zanazibar at the last minute!

Trip ran like clockwork from start to finish a first class service and product.
5/5

We were collected from the hotel in zanzibar and taken to the airport. Flights were on time and landed in selous game park. Stayed at lake Manze lodges. The accommodation and food was beyond expectation. The game drives and water safaris were excellent along with the Bush breakfast. A fantastic trip.
