Amazing experience for a family
5/5

It was the first time in a Safari for us, we are a family with 2 children of 4 and 5 yo. We choose the Selous reserve because we expected to be less crowded compared with the northern parks, and no need of long transfers during our stay. I think we did the right choice.
The organization was perfect. Before we got there the agency answered quckly to all our questions; the accomodation was nice and the staff always avilable and professional. The first day we enjoyed the visit of a local village and a boat safari. The second day, with the same guide Alpha, that was very friendly and qualified, we did the drive game in which we sized lots of animals in an beautiful landscape. Even if Selous reserve has less density of animals compared with other parks, we never spent 5 minutes without see some. We got very close to to many giraffes, hippos, lions, elefants, crocodiles, hyenas, and may others, including many kind of birds. No issues yo do the safari with the kids, after lunch they even had their nap in the car.
The last day we did a walking safari with the bushman, Simba. He is an excellent storyteller, the kids really enjoyed the role play of being hunters and to lit a fire in the woods with the sticks. We are really satisfied with Uwanda tours.

2-day safari game drive nyerere national park Selous
5/5

Our safari was absolutely amazing! We were on our own in the car with a guide and a driver (who was a mechanic as well). He tried to find all the animals we wanted to see and did his best to make us happy. They were always punctual and polite. He always stopped the car whenever we wanted to stay a little longer or to take a picture. They had a lot of cold water stored for us so we all stayed hydrated. The guide could answer all of our animal questions and told us everything we needed to know about the different animals too. The communication to the other guides was very good. They always stayed in touch to make sure everyone could see the rare animals. In that way he also got to know in which area the animal we wanted to see has been seen last. We highly recommend Uwanda tours and would always book again!

We had a great day in the Mikumi National Park! The trip was organized perfectly, everting went smoothly. We were pickup up at the hotel in Zanzibar and then we had a short flight to the national park. There, our guide was already waiting. He was very friendly and answered all our questions! We saw a lot of the animals, also lion families. The nature is great! Thanks for everything!

We had a great time on our safari in Selous.
From the moment we booked, the communication was good. We were escorted smoothly from our hotel and back and felt safe and comfortable the entire journey. It is a long drive to the Selous, but well worth it! We saw a lot of animals and had the best guide, Hassan. Thank you so much!

Highly responsive and professional.
5/5

Our recent adventure to Nyere National Park was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of lush wilderness and rivers, this park offered a captivating blend of wildlife, landscapes, tranquility and a rejuvenating escape from the bustle of daily life. Nyere National Park boasts a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna, and we were fortunate to witness some of its most iconic residents, including Lions, Hyenas, Hippos, Crocodiles, Gireffes, Zebras, elephats and many more.

We chose Uwanda Tours after careful consideration of several tour operators, focusing on factors like pricing, responsiveness, and integrity. Our decision was rewarded with an exceptional journey guided by Kapande, whose expertise and friendly demeanor truly elevated our experience. Whether it was skillfully spotting elusive wildlife or exploring hidden trails, Kapande's expertise brought each encounter to life. In fact, it was Kapande's keen eye and knowledge that allowed us the incredible privilege of witnessing a majestic lion pride during our tour. His commitment to safety and responsible tourism was eveident when he advised against getting too close to elephants (or other wildlife) to trigger an elephant charge, a critical aspect of his approach that few other guides overlooked.
