Best safari tour you could find!
5/5

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

Incredible 4 days off the beaten track in Nyerere National Park
5/5

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

5/5

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!

Fantastic tour!
5/5

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!
