He was kind, helpful and told us a lot about animals.
5/5

We had the most amazing safari guide (Kapande). Apart from the safari, where we saw lions, elephants, zebras, antilopes, giraffes, bamboons and hippos, we also visited a Masai Village and it was a privilege to gain more knowledge about their unique culture. Kapande's charismatic nature made the trip even better. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time at Mikumi National Park and the Masai village. Kaoande was a great guide and also made sure that we saw lions (we also saw Zebras, Giraffes, Hippos, Buffalos, Elephants, Antilopes, Goombas). I can wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with him!

Exceptionally well organized safari and excellent driver and tour guide
5/5

We started our safari in Dar es Salaam with Kapande who was our (very safe) driver and tour guide (exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife, various parks and nature). During our 12 day safari we visited Mikumi, Ruaha and Nyerere National park. The whole trip was organized to perfection by Salumu and we were extremely happy with the services from Uwanda tours.
During our game drives we saw so much wildlife (it took our breath away) and Kapande almost always knew where to find the animals 🤩 he gave us time to look at the animals and was never in a rush and whenever we had question he had the answer.
We highly recommend to visit Udzungwa Mountains National Park (about 1 hour from Mikumi National Park): it is a rain forest and we hiked to a stunning waterfall. Our guide Robert had a vast knowledge of the trees and plants that are growing in the rain forest and we learned a lot from him.
We also did a 1 day boat ride at Nyerere National Park and this was another highlight. During this day we saw dozens of of crocodiles and Hippos and so many different types of birds.

Amazing safari
5/5

Our safari was an unforgettable adventure! It was very easy to book and everything went perfectly according to plan. Our guide Kapande was always on time, professional, and made sure we had a clear plan for each day. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more special.
We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, and a lot more from close up in the wild. The landscapes were stunning. The whole trip was exciting, well-organized, and truly special. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and wants a seamless, memorable experience!

5/5

The safari was amazing. We saw so many animals and just everything was great. The scenery was breathtaking. We saw elephants, lions, and giraffes - an unforgettable experience! The accommodations were comfortable and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this safari to anyone! Our driver and tour guide Kapande was the best. He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about the animals and the landscape. His enthusiasm was contagious and made our safari an unforgettable experience. We were very grateful for his expertise and friendly nature. The communication of the whole tour was great.

We were on 2-day Nyerere safari guided by Uwanda Team, first day land safari with Defender, second day river safari on Rufiji. It was best orginized trip we have ever been, all drivers, pilot, guides, all staff in accommodation and on all other location were very very kindly and they introduce all my family (with 2 small kids) into the Jungle.
Highly recomended for Uwanda Team, you will be very satisfied.

Excellent first safari experience
5/5

We had an incredible two-day safari in Nyerere National Park with Uwanda. Our driver, Shaban, skillfully guided us to all the desired animals, and our knowledgeable guide, Emil, provided fascinating insights into their behavior. Both of them were exceptional.

Our accommodation at Mufasa Tented Camp within Nyerere NP was an unforgettable experience. Nestled amidst the natural beauty of the park, the camp offered a delightful blend of comfort and cultural immersion. The food was great, the service impeccable, and the interactions with the friendly Masaai staff added a touch of magic to our stay. We highly recommend this place!

Excellent organization, great guide
5/5

We are a retired couple from Poland. We went on a 5 day safari with Uwanda, and it was great. Five days is not nearly enough to explore the beauty of this country, but we visited two national parks, Mikumi and Nyerere, seeing many wild animals. We highly recommend visiting a Masai village, which was included in our safari. We slept in two loges, Camp Bastian Mikumi and Selous Safari Lodge. Both were very good. We’d like to say special thank you to Ramadan, our driver and guide. The distances between Dar es Salaam and the parks are not big, but the roads are very bad, so be prepare to spend 8-10 hours in the car for 5 days. Fortunately, Ramadan was a great companion and very knowledgeable guide, so we were not bored, and learned a lot from him. I wish we had more time.

Made all of our honeymoon dreams come true!
5/5

We had Mr Martin and Shabani as our guide and driver. They were both absolutely incredible.
Mr Martin has the ability to spot all the animals and ensure that we had breath taking views, surreal distance from the animals and impart all of his wisdom of the nature to us.

Mr Shabani is the best driver in Tanzania, we never got stuck, lost and had a comfortable ride. He got us as close to all the animals as he could without causing harm or disturbance to nature.

We spoke to many other safari guests back at our lodge who had not been lucky enough to see the same animals that we had.

Mr Martin and Shabani helped us to see
Giraffe 🦒
Elephant 🐘
Hippo 🦛
Mongoose
Yellow baboon
Cape buffalo 🦬
Impala
Kudu
Hornbill - black and red
Bald neck vulture
Warthog
Leopard 🐆
Zebra 🦓
Wildebeest
Lion 🦁
Hyaena
Crocodile
And so much more.

Thank you both so much for making our dreams come true. You are both fantastic 🤩
