Incredible 4 days off the beaten track in Nyerere National Park
I feel so lucky to have found Uwanda tours, and our amazing safari guide Kapande.
Getting a quote and booking the trip was easy, with Salumu responding to our requests very quickly and making sure we had the perfect rooms for our group (4 x adult female friends).
On the day, Kapande picked us up perfectly on time, and was an absolute gentleman. He kept his cool during Dar’s rush hour traffic, and navigated the smoothest possible route over the bumpy road to Nyerere NP. Once we arrived, his skills as a safari guide really shone and he took great effort to make sure we saw all of the species that were on our wish list, whilst being very mindful of the welfare of the wild animals we were seeing. He searched valiantly for leopards, lions and elephants, and his enthusiasm about our African Hunting Dog sighting was completely infectious.
The trip completely exceeded our expectations, we have a new friend in Kapande and will be dreaming of a return visit

Best safari tour you could find!
Our day with our guide Rafael and our driver Shabani was truly unforgettable. We could not have wished for a more dedicated, kind, knowledgeable, and outstanding guide than Rafael. He shared his deep knowledge throughout the 11 hours we spent together, walking us through fascinating details about the land and wildlife, and answering every one of our questions with patience and passion.
Shabani, our driver, went above and beyond to make the day remarkable. His expertise with the routes meant we were able to see the Big Four as well as countless other animals. He stopped for us at every opportunity so we could take photographs, all while ensuring our safety. It was clear that many other guides did not take the routes he chose, which made his dedication to creating a truly exceptional experience stand out.
Thanks to their expertise, we saw all four of the Big Four — and much more. If you want to experience Nyerere properly, we can only recommend this perfect duo: Rafael and Shabani

Best safari ever – Kapande made it perfect!
This safari exceeded all expectations thanks to our guide Kapande. He went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and got the chance to see every animal possible. Always cheerful and kind, he created a wonderful atmosphere while teaching us fascinating facts about the wildlife and Tanzania’s nature. I can’t imagine a better guide – simply outstanding!

Perfect experience. Would use again in a heartbeat.
This was a great experience from start to finish. Communication was top notch, which was important for us as it was our first real safari. We stayed in Nyerere at the Impala camp and the accomodations were clean and efficient. We saw no critters save for a tiny flying big one night in the room. Water was hot and pressure was strong. Food was tasty.
Our guide was Kapande and we couldn't have asked for a better driver. We saw every animal multiple times over 2 days except for the leopard, which we told him we were ok skipping. Otherwise, I have no doubt he would have tracked one down for us. I can't stress enough how good Kapande was at finding the animals for us. He let us take our time, and we even went a little longer than we should have the first day
During every drive we felt completely safe. Kapande not only had a sixth sense for the animals, but also for the road which was difficult to drive on to say the least.
If we return to this park, we will definitely request Kapande again, and I have zero reservations recommending both him and Uwanda Tours

Kapande Is an Excellent Tour Guide
My husband and I hired Uwanda Tours to take us around Selous National Park for 3 days. They assigned Kapande as our driver and guide. He arrived on time to pick us up from our hotel in Dar Es Salaam. He immediately explained to us what to expect on the 4 hour drive we had ahead of us. When we arrived a6 Selous he explained the remainder of the day to us and asked when we wanted lunch and asked how long we wanted to stay out. Our first day drive was very eventful. Kapande spot a lion first, so we got to enjoy him before any other vehicles arrived. We then went farther into the park and Kapande spotted another lion, again we had the lion to ourselves. He took us to out of the way places where we got to see a herd of elephants playing in a water hole. Again. We were the only vehicle there for the first 5 minutes so, we got to enjoy looking at the elephants without any other vehicles present. We saw zebras and wildebeest and a number of other animals I was amazed by Kapande's eyesight. He was able to spot animal I didn't even see. Our next day game drive was just as eventful and special. We again got to see a number of animals and managed to arrive before other vehicles for most of them. We felt as if we had the park to ourselves. The special things we got to see the second day were elephants fighting, a baby elephant that was very curious and giraffes fighting.
Our final day we did a boat safari. Kapande dropped us off and picked us back up after the boat ride was over. Kapande than took us back to Dar Es Salaam. After dropping is off, he realized has left our lunches in the truck. He turned around and came back and gave them to us. We were very impressed with how thoughtful he was.
The safari vehicle was spotless and Kapande was very knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we got to see everything we wanted to see.
I would definitely recommend Uwanda Tours and I would tell everyone to ask for Kapande as their guide.
Thank you Kapande for making our first Safari so special.

The Best Day of Our Lives – Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Our one-day safari in Tanzania was nothing short of magical – truly the best day of our lives! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and we owe our incredible experience to our outstanding guide, Mr. Martin, and our skilled driver, Shabani.
Mr. Martin was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife, and full of fascinating facts that brought every moment to life. He made sure we didn’t miss a single highlight, and his warm personality made us feel instantly at ease.
Shabani’s driving was nothing short of expert – smooth, safe, and perfectly timed to get us in the right place at the right moment. Thanks to him, we got up close to lions, elephants, giraffes and much more!
This experience exceeded every expectation and left us with memories we'll cherish forever. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, do yourself a favor and ask for Mr. Martin and Shabani. You will not be disappointed!
