5/5

Jambo jambo! We had a blast! The guide Emily and "Paul" the driver were the best guys there! They made our whole experience unforgettable- they went out of their way for us and we had a deal- the bigger the animal, the better the sweets!!! 😜🍫🍬
Norcas our restaurant waitress was so kind. Everyone couldn't do enough for you! The selous Lodge was very clean, dont forget your in a very humble commuity- food was set meals and very tasty! The Lodge was very quiet except for passing monkeys- perfect! (other parties out on activities). There was no alcohol at the Lodge but didn't make a difference to us; as it was non-stop, early morning starts and one night we happily went to bed straight after dinner!. WiFi in main Lodge area. Pool great- just what we needed! Bush walk was informative, learned about the land and surroundings, 'tribal Dai' (David) was dressed in traditional dress (not much!😉). The village tour was an eye opener- take some sweets! Boat tour was interesting, the guides are so knowledgeable. Maasai village was amazing- my heart was full! Sweets too here! Overall it was AWESOME! Highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇹🇿🌍

Our safari experience in Nyerere National Park was absolutely unforgettable! 🐘🦒🐆 Being surrounded by nature and seeing so many incredible animals up close was just magical. A huge thanks to our guide Kapande, who made the tour even more special with his knowledge, passion, and great energy. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tanzania! 🌿✨

5/5

We visited Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks. And everything was perfect from beginning to end. A consistently friendly driver who was in complete control of his vehicle and extremely knowledgeable about the national parks. He also had excellent connections and contacts there, which proved helpful in tracking animals like lions and hyenas. Even though we've been home for a few days now, I'm still thrilled about our trip.

Magnificent trip to safari
5/5

The trip to safari using Uwanda Tours and Safaris was very well-organized, we had a clear schedule for the days and got to see different points of safari. We had a boat safari tour, village tour and a safari drive which lasted a whole day.
The village tour was a little concise and I wish we would have seen and hears more of the lives of people living there.
On our last day we were supposed to travel to Sansibar from Dar es Salaam via ferry but ferrys were not in traffic that day. Our tour guide, Kapande, was the most helpful and arranged us a straight flight to Sansibar from safari.
All-in-all I recommend using Uwanda Tours and Safaris if you want to have a comprehensive experience and value for your money. Our tour guide, Kapande, was a really professional and welcoming. We got a lot of new information from him about the animals and nature.

unforgettable experience
5/5

Communication with the organizer was good from the start. Emails were answered within a day at the latest. It was nice also to get to see their tour operator license before paying the trip.
Our guide Kapande was great. He told us a lot about the animals and nature during the safari. There were no stupid questions. We saw a lot of different safari animals and we got lucky and saw lions. That was awesome!
We were on safari during the riots in Dar es Salaam, which changed our return plans. Kapande sorted things out and arranged a flight for us directly to Zanzibar. So thanks to Uwanda tours and safaris we get safely to our next destination. Thank you a very much about that!
I would have liked more information when we visited Mloka village and It would have been nice to see more of their lifestyle.
Overall the tour was worth of every penny.
Thank you Uwanda tours and safaris and of course than you Kapande for the incredible experience.

Incredible
5/5

The safari was beautiful, and the accommodations were very good with comfortable bathrooms for being inside a park.

We saw many animals, although we were unlucky not to see any zebras (very unusual).

5/5

Our first safari ever, a 4 day trip by car from Dar to Selous/Nyerere park, 3 nights in Selous safari lodge. Uwanda offers great value for the money. Our driver/guide Francis was friendly and knowledgeable. Told lots about the wildlife and habitat. He even managed to find a leopard. An unforgettable experience.

Very friendly, professional and responsive to our questions.
5/5

We booked directly with Uwanda. The contact was excellent and allowed us to prepare well.

We flew from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park, in a small plane and the flight was good. Information given prior to the flight and the pick up weregood

We took the package that included a full-day safari, a visit to the Mloka village and the Masai village, a walk with the bushmen, and a boat trip on the Rufiji River. We were very satisfied with the guides' professionalism and kindness (especially we thank Mickael, Mussa and Didi with which we had a great experience).
The safari was very nice, with the driver and guide knowing where to find the different animals ! We had the chance to see : Giraffes, impalas, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, zebras, monitor lizards, antelopes, wild pigs, warthogs, baboons ... and a lot of local birds !!!

Bushmen walk, Mloka village, and Masai visit was also very interesting to understand how local people live, what they do for a living. We had explanations about local beliefs, house construction, use of traditional medicine, ...

The lodge was also very welcoming and comfortable. We ate well. The staff was very nice to us. You can see impalas, baboons at dawn just next to the accommodation, that was nice !

The value for money was very good. We were completely satisfied!
Asante Sana!
