Simply amazing, great, fantastic!
We visited Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks. And everything was perfect from beginning to end. A consistently friendly driver who was in complete control of his vehicle and extremely knowledgeable about the national parks. He also had excellent connections and contacts there, which proved helpful in tracking animals like lions and hyenas. Even though we've been home for a few days now, I'm still thrilled about our trip.

Magnificent trip to safari
The trip to safari using Uwanda Tours and Safaris was very well-organized, we had a clear schedule for the days and got to see different points of safari. We had a boat safari tour, village tour and a safari drive which lasted a whole day.
The village tour was a little concise and I wish we would have seen and hears more of the lives of people living there.
On our last day we were supposed to travel to Sansibar from Dar es Salaam via ferry but ferrys were not in traffic that day. Our tour guide, Kapande, was the most helpful and arranged us a straight flight to Sansibar from safari.
All-in-all I recommend using Uwanda Tours and Safaris if you want to have a comprehensive experience and value for your money. Our tour guide, Kapande, was a really professional and welcoming. We got a lot of new information from him about the animals and nature.

unforgettable experience
Communication with the organizer was good from the start. Emails were answered within a day at the latest. It was nice also to get to see their tour operator license before paying the trip.
Our guide Kapande was great. He told us a lot about the animals and nature during the safari. There were no stupid questions. We saw a lot of different safari animals and we got lucky and saw lions. That was awesome!
We were on safari during the riots in Dar es Salaam, which changed our return plans. Kapande sorted things out and arranged a flight for us directly to Zanzibar. So thanks to Uwanda tours and safaris we get safely to our next destination. Thank you a very much about that!
I would have liked more information when we visited Mloka village and It would have been nice to see more of their lifestyle.
Overall the tour was worth of every penny.
Thank you Uwanda tours and safaris and of course than you Kapande for the incredible experience.

Incredible
The safari was beautiful, and the accommodations were very good with comfortable bathrooms for being inside a park.
We saw many animals, although we were unlucky not to see any zebras (very unusual).

Great experience
Our first safari ever, a 4 day trip by car from Dar to Selous/Nyerere park, 3 nights in Selous safari lodge. Uwanda offers great value for the money. Our driver/guide Francis was friendly and knowledgeable. Told lots about the wildlife and habitat. He even managed to find a leopard. An unforgettable experience.

Very friendly, professional and responsive to our questions.
We booked directly with Uwanda. The contact was excellent and allowed us to prepare well.
We flew from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park, in a small plane and the flight was good. Information given prior to the flight and the pick up weregood
We took the package that included a full-day safari, a visit to the Mloka village and the Masai village, a walk with the bushmen, and a boat trip on the Rufiji River. We were very satisfied with the guides' professionalism and kindness (especially we thank Mickael, Mussa and Didi with which we had a great experience).
The safari was very nice, with the driver and guide knowing where to find the different animals ! We had the chance to see : Giraffes, impalas, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, zebras, monitor lizards, antelopes, wild pigs, warthogs, baboons ... and a lot of local birds !!!
Bushmen walk, Mloka village, and Masai visit was also very interesting to understand how local people live, what they do for a living. We had explanations about local beliefs, house construction, use of traditional medicine, ...
The lodge was also very welcoming and comfortable. We ate well. The staff was very nice to us. You can see impalas, baboons at dawn just next to the accommodation, that was nice !
The value for money was very good. We were completely satisfied!
Asante Sana!

Fantastic tour!
The tour with Kapande was fantastic! He took us to every activity on time and picked us up again on time afterwards. Whenever he noticed during the safari or elsewhere that I wanted to take a photo, he always stopped immediately and gave me time to do so. Even in the national park, he drove back to the waterhole with the hippos so that I could see them again, even though the safari was already over. I would book the tour with Kapande again anytime!

Uwanda tours is a reliable and well organised operator with great tours led by capable guides.
We (couple) booked a 3 day safari to Nyerere starting from Daressalam. Our guide and driver named Kapande picked us up on time at our Hotel in Daressalam and drove us save to our Camp right outside the border of Nyerere Nationalpark.
The village tour on the arrival day was informative about local people living in the area. The guide for the village tour showed us the local school and walked with us through the village.
On day 2 we went on our full day safari with Kapande. He picked us up with his safari truck which had an open roof. Throughout the safari he told us about the animals we saw and we have to admit that through the knowledge of our guide Kapande about the park-area we were able to see a lot of animals (buffalos, elephants, Zebras, giraffes, hippos and even two lions and many other animals...). It was an amazing day and Kapande made it even more special with the information he was able to give and the effort he has to show people around.
On the last day we got picked up early for the Bush walk. It was a nice atmosphere early in the morning and we saw a whole elephant family. Afterwards we had breakfast and Kapande drove us to the airport.
Summed up it was an amazing tour, well organised with a great guide named Kapande who accompanied us through the 3 days. He picked us up on time for activities, led the safari by himself with lots of knowledge about animals, plants and the whole area and brought us savely back to the airport.
I'd definetly recommend Uwanda tours and if possible ask for Kapande. He does a great job!
