Confortabile tour Safari.
5/5

The tour program description reflects reality. Safari Selous Lodge is amazing, the food is good (but you can’t choose your meal because there is one daily menu). Our guide Kapande was really kindly and a good driver.

There is just one thing to keep mind: if you are coming from Dar Es Salam the road is not paved and it’s 3 Hours of jumping 🙈

Amazing safari experience
5/5

Everything was fantastic. Our guide Rajabu was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants. He explained the behaviour and habitat thoroughly. He attended to our needs and drove with care and expertise. He was very friendly and conscious of making sure we enjoyed the experience. He shared his passion for the conservation and management for sustainability. The food was good and the lodges at the selous safari camp were very comfortable. The staff were warm, courteous and welcoming. The whole experience was magical. We saw many animals and rajabu ensured we were able to view everything well. I can thoroughly recommend both rajabu and the selous safari lodge for your safari holiday.

We felt extremely cared for and safe.
5/5

We hired the safari for 4 days and it was our second time doing a trip like this. Kapande picked us up at the hotel in the agreed time and drove us to our lodge 4h away from Dar Es Salaam.
We had 2 full game days and 2 other days with different activities (Boat Safari and visit to the Maasai).
Kapande took care of us the whole time! He was not only super punctual, but he is also an excelent driver!! I wanted to see a black mamba and he didn't stop looking for one for the entire two days!! Also when we found out there was a lion around in the radio, he raced through the park until we found it and we got the BEST pictures AND felt like we were in a real adventure!
I cannot stress enough how much Kapande made a difference on our trip and it wouldnt have been the same without him.
Thank you, Kapande and Uwanda tours, for making this short time so special!

Reliable operator in Tanzania!
4/5

We had a 12-day safari in the South of Tanzania (Mikumi NP, Ruaha NP, Udzungwa NP, Nyerere NP). It was a great feeling to spot a lot of animals with very few jeeps and tourists in the parks. You may spot less animals than at Serengeti NP, but once you spot a leopard or a lion, you have it all for yourself and that's truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide Kapande fulfilled all our requests and dedicated himself fully to offer a great experience. Since the area is less touristic, the infrastructure for tourists, especially hotels and restaurants is a little bit scarse, so be prepared to sleep in small resorts and eat lunch packs every daybut it makes the trip more adventurous and authentic.

All in all, highly recommended!
5/5

Our guides and drivers were especially helpful and kind, always bringing us safely from place to place—and always on time! We were able to see and, above all, learn so much—whether in the village, the park, or the bush. It was truly enriching.



The lodges were beautiful as well, and the food was particularly good at the Selous Kinga Lodge. From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and we felt completely comfortable. We also laughed a lot and had a wonderful time.



We would also like to encourage future travelers to truly appreciate the hard work of everyone involved—and to show their gratitude by leaving a tip!

Amazing Experience! Highly recommended!
5/5

The experience was amazing. We got to see so many animals, clearly beyond our expectations. The communication was easy and we received all relevant information swiftly upon request. With regards to our Guide - we were lucky to have Kapande as driver and guide - he was super reliable, knowledgeable and supportive. Everything was perfectly organised and we had nothing to worry about which was in particular important as we travelled with 2 teenagers. In conclusion - we would do it again, anytime!

unforgettable safari with a very experienced guide and driver via very reliable company
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our safari in Nyerere National Park.
From the very beginning of our direct booking with Uwanda, we had excellent communication via WhatsApp. Questions were answered immediately.
A day beforehand, we were informed about an early morning pickup from our hotel in Zanzibar. Upon arrival at Mtmere Airstrip, our professional driver, Shabani, and expert guide, Mr. Martin, were waiting to immediately begin one of our private game drives.
We enjoyed our time with Mr. Shabani and Mr. Martin in the park, as well as Selous Safari Lodge with its spacious detached cottages, tours in Mloka Village, our time with the Maasai, and the boat trip on the Rufiji River.
Mr. Shabani guided us safely over the most difficult roads, and Mr. Martin was very enthusiastic and told us a lot about the many animals we saw.
Everything was well-organized, punctual, professional, and with a smile. I would definitely book with Uwanda again next time.
In total it was beyond our expectations.
Compliments for everyone!
