Amazing safari experience with Kapande, exactly what we were looking for!
We had an amazing 8-day safari with Kapande, traveling to three parks (Ruaha, Mikumi, & Nyerere). Communication with Kapande and Uwanda Tours was very easy and clear; we were picked up from our hotel in Iringa to start the safari. The accommodations throughout the week were all very nice, and everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. Kapande was the perfect safari guide; he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and parks, and he communicated with other guides to make sure we saw plenty of animals.
Overall, it was a 10/10 week! Thank you Uwanda Tours and Kapande!

Very good
Our 5 days tour was great, a lot of it due to our guide, Kapande. From the moment he picked us up from our Airbnb to the day he dropped us off, he gave us all needed explanations, he arranged all details for our stay. As for his safari guiding it was excellent, he gave us informations and shared his knowledge on the animals we spotted, he knew where to go in both parks we visited and offered us an amazing experience and adventure for our first safari! I would recommend Kapande as a guide because he has a great experience and he puts it in good use with the people he is guiding.

Amazing adventure!
This was my first safari and it was an unforgettable adventure!
Me and my friend booked the 5 day safari to Mikumi and Nyerere national parks.
Perfection was obvious from the first minutes when our driver and guide Kapande, was spot on to the appointment place and time. Although the roads in Tanzania are chaotic, he was always careful and consistent with his driving and got us safely to our first lodge. During our game drives to both parks, he was always eager to share his knowledge about the animals we encountered and made every possible effort so that we can see up close as many animals as possible! Aside from that, he was also very friendly and with many many safari stories to share and excite our interest for the next time! I wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide. He made our first safari unforgettable.
Regarding the company now, they were very precise from the get go. The email communication with them was easy. The offer and relevant documents provided were accurate. The payment process seamless. Everything unfolded exactly as it was described in the initial offer.
To conclude, whatever the type of the safari is, you can trust Uwanda Tours And Safaris to make it unforgettable. And ask for Kapande as your guide!

Unforgettable experience with a world-class team !!!
We had an absolutely fantastic 3-day safari tour at Nyerere park, that exceeded all our expectations!
Mahamudu Omar is a phenomenal tour-guide! His deep understanding and knowledge about animal behavior and wildlife made every drive special. We learned so much and felt incredibly lucky to have him by our side.
Our driver Mkali did a fantastic job! Navigating the rough terrain seemed effortless, and we always felt completely safe. Plus, they had a great eye for spotting animals and placing the jeep in the perfect place for taking good pictures.
This team made our trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Mahamudu and Mkali! 10/10!

The operator is very conscientious and transparent. They are responsive to individual requests and
We went on a two-day safari, and of course, the highlight was the game drives in the Jeep. We had a very experienced guide named Martin. What we particularly appreciated was the way he showed us the Selous National Park, always with great respect for nature and the animals, combined with a wealth of knowledge.
Kazungu is also a very careful and considerate driver.
We also highly recommend the boat safari, which we booked with the same operator the day before.

A well structured and organised excursion, from start to finish, letting us enjoy every moment.
Booked via WhatsApp from their instagram page. Always contactable and quick to respond and offer a range of experiences.
We opted for the 3 nights and 4 day package, which allowed us to gain the most from our experience here in Tanzania. Everything was well organised, including transfers, flights, accommodation, trips and even meals, which left us to relax and enjoy without having to worry about the logistics.
Our tour guide Martin and driver Poli were knowledgeable but friendly and welcoming for our game drives. The other guides, whose names I unfortunately don’t remember for the bush walk and village tour, were also excellent. As were all of the staff at the Selous Safari Lodge. The room was clean upon arrival, along with being cleaned daily and the food at the lodge had tasty set meals.
Overall a fantastic experience that topped off our honeymoon and can’t thank all those involved enough. Memories we will cherish forever.

An unforgettable safari with Raphael
We had a wonderful experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris. Everything was well organized, communication was clear, and the whole trip felt smooth and reliable from start to finish. Our guide, Raphael, was exceptional: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. His experience made every game drive more interesting, and he helped make the safari truly memorable. Excellent service and great value for money—we would happily recommend Uwanda Tours and Safaris to anyone planning a safari.
NOTE: I’d recommend avoiding bank transfers if possible, as Tanzanian banks can be slow with timing and communication.

Very professional and knowledgeable
We did a 4-day tour in Nyerere with Uwanda and we loved it. First of all, communicating with the company from home was very easy. They responded promptly, were very clear in their offer and provided a custom made programme. Kapande was our tour guide and was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating of all our needs. He went out of his way to try to find the species we most wanted to see. He shared interesting facts about wildlife and the park. He was also very flexible in planning the days. He can also communicate very effectively with the other park guides which ensured he always had the best information about the species that were spotted during the day in the park.
Thanks Uwanda and Kapande!

Great experience with Uwanda Tours
Our Safari tour was amazing from start to finish. Our driver on the first day, Raphael, was really friendly and we had a great time going around the national park spotting different animals. Everyone else has also been really welcoming especially at the Selous Safari Lodge.

Efficient, reliable and knowledgeable
We booked a 3 day Safari with Uwanda Tours from Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park. Ole was our very knowledgeable guide/driver. They picked us from our accommodation which was very convenient. We started with a river boat safari which was a relaxing way to start our visit. Our next day started with a 12 hour Safari drive where we saw a lion, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and plenty of giraffe, buffalo, wilderbeasts and antelope and many more. What was lovely was seeing the way the animals interacted with each other.
We were disappointed at not seeing more lions and the following day we went for another 6 hour Safari. Ole was determined not to let us down and we managed to find a pride of lions ready to hunt which was amazing to see as well as hyenas. We also did a night Safari with a ranger which added to the experience and saw some bush babies, hippos (out of the water) and a family of hyenas. We were kept informed daily by the tour company who were very punctual. I would 100% recommend Hassan and his team.
