Can't say enough positive for our family vacation with 11 and 13 year olds
From start to finish, Abdallah with Uhuru Travel and Tours was prompt and had everything super organized and had the best people working for him. We were traveling with another family. Kids were 11-13. Four kids and Four adults. We all went in one big safari jeep and it was SO MUCH FUN with our driver, Julius. He was part of our family and was so calm, patient and loved to laugh with us. He cared so much about the land and showed us everything. We saw all animals and he knew when we were ready to move on or just keep watching. We all could tell that other drivers respected him and he was sought after at the gate entrances with hellos and chit chat. This made us feel so good. He was a wise soul and just perfect with the kids. We all love and miss him! There are some days you are in a jeep for NINE hours. You want to like your driver and trust him. Julius checked every box.
Everything we booked from start to finish was impeccable. Flights , extra tours, lodging and timelines. We hit so many parks and had the BEST people to people cultural experiences. We had brought clothing , balls, candy and school supplies just in case and we mentioned to Julius that we would like to stop at an orphanage or somewhere to share with local kids. He looked up a orphanage that he drove by quite a bit and we stopped a couple days into our trip. It was a huge highlight for our kids and us. We played and hung out with the children. It was really fun and special.
If anyone wants to reach out, I can answer any questions. I was super hesitant to book just because I wasn't sure of Uhuru Travel and Tours and there was nothing on Trip Advisor , but I can assure you that we were extremely pleased. We live outside of San Francisco and have very active kids - this trip was perfect. It is important to know that at some of the lodges we were in two separate rooms - beautiful rooms, but there aren't a lot of accommodations that had 2 double beds in a room. Sometimes we had adjoining rooms and sometimes we were right next door to each other or shared a deck . Abdallah had told us this, but I want to express that it was always figured out and we were right next door to each other. It was really perfect accommodations. We stayed in 3-5 star lodges.
We did 10 day safari and cultural experience in Tanzania and 4 days in Zanzibar. Everything was taken care of by Abdallah and I mean everything. Best service and Julius was a phenomenal driver and person. We knew we were being taken care of on day one! The personable service was excellent.
There was a Uhuru Travel representative who met us at the hotel going and leaving Arusha. His name was Mr. Loy. Such a sweet man and he explained everything and answered all our questions. I didn't even know there would be someone to meet us so that was a bonus and put everything at ease right away. We bought stuff on safari and Mr. Loy kept it so we didn't have to bring it to Zanzibar. Than he met us when we flew back in a parking lot and gave us our souvenirs. When we went on a "safari blue tour" in Zanzibar that we booked thru Abdallah after we arrived to Zanzibar. We had our own guide with the group we were with and felt special. I can't even explain in words how our trip was besides PERFECT! Get the WhatsApp as we communicated thru that. All communication was prompt. Enjoy! Trip of a lifetime for our family!!! We travel quite a bit and this one is towards the top!
WE MISS JULIUS and Tanzania. Beautiful people. We always felt safe and taken care of!!!

Amazing experience and very professional
We went into an 8days Safari in Uganda with Gatatu Safaris. The expererience was amazing and overall even exceeded our expectations.
Lodging was amazing (imagine Elephants coming exactly out of your door in the lodge feeding and you are there to capture the moment)
Activities (They delivered exactly what they promised with all animals included and tried their best to achieve it)
Behaviour-Punctuality - Responsiveness, were up to European standards and extremely friendly and caring to our specific needs. Even when we had a medical emergency they were there to help and found immediate solution.
Our driver Stephen, was amazing, very skillfull driver and accomondating with a clear friendly and human approach.
Lastly the owner provides some of the money into real charity for children in need and we had the pleasure and honour to see it with our own eyes.
Prices are amazing and much lower than the competition.
So please, whenever you want to look for a Safari in Africa consider them as the best-by far option. We are looking forward for our next trip to Kenya and Tanzania with them.

Safari & Kilimanjaro
What an incredible adventure.. not an easy task to describe the exurberation and elation having conquered Kili and then immersed in the wildlife extravaganza that Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater have to offer. But we wouldn't have had such a great time if we hadn't had someone looking after us. I have to admit that Nelson really took care of us, accommodated our dynamic planning schedule, our arrival and departure to the hotel and was always pleasant and helpful from the initial contact, all the way till we booked, arrived and left Arusha. I have to thank him for arranging two amazing guides Francis and Peter Sangawe, he couldn't have chosen anyone better. The attention to detail, the care, the food, everything was tailored to our needs during the trip and we made it thanks to them, We can't thank them enough. Regarding the safari, again our first guide Daniel in Tarangire was like Google search, knew everything about the wildlife we spotted. And in Serengeti, Lewis didn't spare any effort trying to find the leopard for us. All in all Nelson really organised everything very well and offered us a very good package. Thank you Nelson

Perfect experience
Sunset Africa was recommended to us by friends, and we planned our trip directly with Godfrey. Everything was perfectly organized. We had a 10 day Safari, and most of the nights we stayed at public campsites. The sites were basic but OK. We enjoyed being close to nature all the time, and had an amazing experience with elephants walking around the campsite at night and see them passing by our tent. At meal times we were spoiled by our cook Juma. He prepared delicious European and Tanzanian style food. He even managed to bake a birthday cake for one of us. He took perfectly care of us together with our driver and guide Ommy. Ommy had a good humour and was really outstanding. He explained everything to us and showed that he is dedicated to wildlife and the national parks. It was anazing how he spotted the animals in the Savannah and we had lots of time to take photos, get detailed information from him or just look. We saw all the animals we had hoped for. Thanks to Ommy’s intuition and experience we also had the chance to see the river crossing in northern Serengeti. In total this was an unforgettable trip, maybe the trip of my life. A birthday wish became true - thank you.
