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!

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!

Special ASANTE to Paul, Emil and Shadrak

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!

Well organized tour that strives for excellent service.
5/5

Good value for your money. Apparently there are even better parks in Tanzania but we wanted a short cheap safari experience quick and easy and you couldn't ask for that to be fulfilled in a better way. Got to see many Giraffes, Elephants, Crocodiles, Hippos, Baboons, Pumbas, Zebras, Wilderbeasts, Impalas beautiful Birds and much more in their natural habitat. Great experience for a first little safari. Beautiful diverse landscape including the 2nd largest river in Africa. Lots of friendly people and smiles everywhere except for the car drivers for some reason.. :) And the Selous Lodge staff is the friendliest hotel staff I have experienced and they helped us learn some Swahili on the go. My heart is filled with joy. Asante sana.

Thank you Uwanda and especially Kapande for the unforgettable safari experience.
5/5

Our three-day Safari with our guide, Kapande, was incredible.
Kapande has incredible knowledge of african wildlife, flora and fauna. Thanks to his knowledge of the area, we were able to observe hippos, giraffes, zebras, impalas, warthogs, buffalo, elephants and a lion, among others.
This safari was breathtaking for me and will remain unforgettable.
