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.
Professional
We had an excellent experience. Our driver was kind, knowledgable, and punctual. The safari experience with him was amazing... He took us very close to animals yet we always felt safe. Our accommodations had to be changed due to a local land dispute and the agency handled the matter professionally with little inconvenience for us. We recommend this tour group.

VERY NICE COORDINATION
found Uhuru Travel among many other tour operaters, Abdullah was the best option in terms of $$ & overall itinerary plan. I did 4 days shared tour of the northern safari, Abdullah has arranged for me to join other group with ( 7 wonders co ) which was very fun. Our guid was Robin, he is Professional & very supportive. Also willing to do extra things to make your trip more comfortable.
after the safari, I visited Dar & Zanzbiar. Both I had driver for me & were very fun & full of activities.
all the booking plans & transportation arrangement was done thur Abdullah, I only had to book my flight.
overall it was nice coordination & I would recommend both Uhuru Travel & Seven Wonders

Serengeti, Lake Natron, Zanzibar
We had an amazing experience with Uhuru Travel. Our accommodations, tent camps and lodges, were very comfortable. In the tent camps we had elephants, lions, hyenas and zebras around us you could hear through the tent walls, but we always felt safe. Our driver, John, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and found us animals like leopards feeding in the trees, or lions stalking buffalo, that we would have missed looking for ourselves. The first thing we did was forget our camera in the car that took us from the airport in Arusha to our hotel but Mr. Loy made a call to our driver and he found it and delivered it to our hotel the next morning. Uhuru Travel did a wonderful job for our safari.

Smooth operation! Helpful and communicative staff.
The service was great. They booked me with a Safari operator called Three Wonders.
The overall experience was amazing. 4 day safari tour went as planned without any hiccups.
The team was very friendly and communicative, whenever I required help or had questions.

rememberable wildlife experience
- safari itself was great, saw all animals i wanted
- kilimanjaro hike was also good, but with sub contractor companies (not uhuru travel)
- organization of uhuru was not on point, i was left in the dark sometimes until a few hours before the trip.
-communications inbetween the tour operators was lackluster
still had a good time, would plan differently next time, i guess i got experiences equal to money spend, it was budget after all
first africa experience so dont know if this is standard procedure

Posted on Jul 10, 2019We are happy you had good time to enjoy your safari and experience African wildlife! Sorry we did not inform you before but your group to safari changes travel dates and since we had given you confirmation as solo traveler we thought was wise not to cancel your safari but find an alternative means to make sure you do your safari as planed.

Excellent, I would use this company again.
We had a great time with this company. Our guide, China, was the best part about it. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He made sure that we saw as many animals as possible, and even would call other guides in the area to make sure we got the best experience. The food and our cook were also amazing! He adjusted the menu to our friend who is vegetarian, and made her a few dishes just for her when we had meat for a meal.
My only issue with the experience, was that when we had first signed up for a car, we were told that we would be in a private car for the 4 of us traveling together. When we got to Arusha and were picked up, we were told that we were picking up 2 other people. Luckily the couple turned out to be great and were a great addition to our trip, but having been promised a private car, and then having to share was a little frustrating.
Overall I would travel with this company again. They were helpful in the sign up process, excellent communication the whole time, and the safari was amazing.

Posted on Jun 24, 2019Thanks for traveling with us and we are happy you enjoyed your safari with us. I just want to make one thing clear. The safari you did was basic camping sharing safari and we have right to admit any person coming even a day before departure to safari only we keep the group to be 4 maximum participants for a normal safari Jeep and 6 maximum for extended Safari Jeep. Since we are excepting even single client at all the time then we can increase the number anytime provided we will remain at our maximum numbers of 4 to 6 but not more than that number. Any one booking basic camping sharing safari must know that there is no private safari we can bring anyone on board anytime.

Really Great Safari Experience
Uhuru Travels was great from the very start, even before the Safari started. The Customer support team assisted me to plan my entire trip and with very prompt replies from margaret. They helped me plan trip even outside the Safari etc.
The safari experience was also super. I saw everything that Tanzania has to offer. Cheetah's hunting, Lions killing and devouring the prey, elephant herd, hippos fight etc etc. Even the guide and chef of Uhuru was really great as we used to get really good food everyday.
Lastly, when my cash was running out, Margaret even offered to help me with that, however I managed without it, but asking to help out was really great.
I would definitely come back with Family and friends and will take a ride with them again.
Although, I did feel that a little cost reduction here and there is possible, however, overall its was a 5* experience.

Good service , some details to improve
The tour was well organized ;
We paid one of the cheapest prices in the market and get almost same service than more expensive ones ;
To improve smal things like the chairs for dinner / breakfast ; there were the cheapest one and not to confortable and definitely get better ones won’t be so good expensive (for some reason we always ate the last ones , no problem but don’t know why )
Tents were ok
Food really nice
Tours guides very profesional lots of knowledge
Just make sure your days are group are not going to be changed last minute ,
I didn’t happen in our company but happens a lots and is always better start with then small park and finish with the best one ;
Definitely recommend company and Margaret is amazing :)
