An amazing experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris
We chose Uwanda Tours for our 4 day safari to Selous National Park because they responded quickly and it was good value for money. There was good communication before, during, and after the tour. We were told that our luggage on the flight wouldn't be a problem (and it wasn't) but I wish we were told how small the plane was beforehand! We carried all our belongings with us and ended up taking up the most space. Most other guests were only there for the day but we stayed for 3 nights. The staff were very well organized and our tour guide Alfa was really good also! Selous was an amazing experience and it was the picturesque view of Africa that I imagined it would be. I'd highly recommend spending more time here than just a day trip to really get the most out of it and explore the area more.

Great Hands-Off Safari Experience
Booking the safari was east through WhatsApp, and the response time from the organizer was very quick. Once the deposit was down, nearly everything was taken care of. Only a few messages were exchanged telling us when to be ready to be picked up from the hotel, and all the rest was handled/explained to us on the way. Ferry over to Dar es Salaam was quick, and our driver Dani accommodated my food poisoning by visiting a pharmacy. The 4 hr van ride to the lodging was on a bumpy dirt road, but it was fun to see the countryside. Lodging was fantastic for the location, and staff was the most polite I've ever met. Safari day came and our guide Goodluck (yes, that's his name!) was excellent. He had the perfect amount of energy for 7 in the morning, and guided us on a wonderful day. We saw every animal we came to see (giraffes, hippos, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras), including lions in the final 15 minutes of the tour when he booked it to a special bush where the lions were resting. He managed to get us to see the lions and still make it to our plane with time to spare. Plane ride back was quick and easy. Highly recommend for the price.

Our guide, driver and experience was awesome
We did a full day tour of Selous and had a guide (mr martino) and driver (mr maneno) both were simply fantastic and we were so blessed to have them showing us this paradise. We saw so many animals and both used all their experience to make our great day absolutely fantastic. Don’t be hung up about seeing lions or tigers, enjoy seeing nature’s diversity up close and personal. We loved our trip that was made special by our guide and driver

Unforgettable first Safari experience
It was a fantastic adventure expecially thanks to our Safari guide Mr. Martino and driver Mr. Maneno: with a bit of lucky and their full experience and knowledge of the territory we found most of the animals that live in the park.
Overall, the complete experience and service was very positive, I would recommend it to everyone!

The best experience and guide we could ask for! Amazing Martino
We did the three days Safari experience in Nyerere park: we explored the Selous reserve through the daily game drive and the night game drive on the first day, we had the boat tour and the visit to the village nearby the camp the second day, and we went to visit the Masai village the last day. The accommodations we stayed at made our experience characteristic and allowed us to really enjoy the nature all around. All the people working there have been very welcoming and caring, and we had really nice food as well.
Before we started, Martino gave us all the information we needed to live the experience the best way, he gave us the right advices on how to bring the best memories back from the Safari experience. Anytime we had questions he was there to answer and explain. Beside the professional informations we got from him, he has been nice and fun. He has been amazing!
We’ll keep this experience within the best memories we have!

We were well taken care of and had a fantastic time. They handled everything very well.
We were very happy with Uwanda tours and our knowledgeable guide Piniel. We saw so many more animals then we expected to see and it was a wonderful time. Osero camp was lovely as well. Very worth the money, it was such a lovely add on to our trip. It converted my friend to Safaris, she wants to go again. Highly recommended by us.

Wonderfully Organised and Adventurous Safari
uwanda tours allowed us to experience a unique and adventurous safari. firstly everything was organised exceptionally well such as the transfers and activities (always very punctual). we did a multitude of activities in only 5 days including game drives, boat safaris, sunset boat drive, bush walk, hot spring swims, maasai village tour, mloka village tour and much more.
before i talk about our experiences during the activities i would like to say we had the most wonderful and informative tour guide who stayed with us most of the time. our guide holle first greeted us with a huge smile were we already knew we got so lucky with our guide. he was fantastic as he shared so much information with us, made the safari enjoyable, had an explanation ready for all of our wild questions and overall was just an excellent guide. additionally we always felt safe with him and he spoke very good english. i will definitely request him for my next safari!
a word on the activities. the game drives were filled with the sighting of many animals both on land and in the water. on one day we even made a stop at the hot springs which was truely a lovely event. additionally nyerere national park is wonderful as it is not crowded with jeeps and has beautiful nature. the sunset boat drive was astonishing and a must see. the bush walk was a unique dive into the life of a bushman. the boat safari was action filled with hippos and crocodiles as well as seeing animals come down to the water. the maasai and mloka village tours gave a wonderful insight into both their cultures and ways of life (very interesting!).
if you don’t want to have a boring/normal safari come to nyerere national park with uwanda tours. and don’t forget to get holle as your tour guide!
