Great in all aspects
First of all the name Dusty Roads - spot on! :) I went on a private 6-Day Economical Tanzania Safari. 6 days is a perfect lenght to visit Norhtern circuite. First day pretty much was only pick-up from the airport to the hotel. I imagined someone would show me around Arusha, but it didn't happen, a bit pitty. Since the hotel from Arusha town is pretty far I didn't manage to visit the town myself. Next 4 days we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongo. I felt very comfortable with my guide Edward, he was professional, knew a lot about wild flora and fauna and he also knew all the good places to spot wild life. The highlight of the tour of course was that I saw all the animals that were possible to see. Last day of the tour was visiting Lake Eyasi. For this day I have mixed feelings, on one hand it was interesting to see how Datoga and Hadzabe tribes live, but on the other hand it didn't feel genuine whatsoever. Bushmen tribe "hunt" was kind of a joke.
All in all I am very happy with my experience. It was easy to communicate and book the tour for me a solo traveller. On arrival I received a lovely welcome goodie bag. Everybody did their best at making me feel comfortable. My luggage didn't arrive with me, it was delayed, so the manager picked it up the next day from the airport and brought it to me while I was enjoying my first safari day. Hotels, lodges and my favourite stay at Angani tented lodge were of very high quality, I was pleasantly surprised, in my opinion way higher standards than economical.
I highly recommend the company and the tour.

Brilliant Tour Company - Excellent service from the moment I sent my first email
From the moment I first began communicating with Umubano Tours they were extremely efficient. Herbert and Peter were very helpful when I began to plan our trip to Rwanda. They always replied to emails within a few hours and provided lots of suggestions for our trip. We booked our accommodation and permits for a 12 day trip through Rwanda. We were welcomed at the airport by Didie, our driver for the tour. He spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the history of his country, the people and the wildlife. He kept us entertained during our long drives between stops. He has a great sense of humour and a wicked laugh.
The trip worked out as planned and Didie was always punctual when picking us up from hotel/lodge. He is a proficient driver and we always felt safe with him at the wheel. I would highly recommend this company to assist you with planning your trip to Rwanda and to safely escort you around the country. Nothing was too much trouble and even when we decided to change accommodation for 2 nights this was completed efficiently without any problems. Excellent company. Thank you Didie and Umubano Tours for making our trip to Rwanda so special. !0))

Everything wonderful
My daughter and I booked a 3 nights/4 days Safari Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboseli NP in advance. Everything was perfect. Carolina organized a jeep with our own driver (Tito) for us. We had good accommodation and food, but best were the game drives with Tito - he is a wonderful guide and tries to do everything to keep the customers satisfied. If we go to Kenia again, we will book with Tanke and Caroline again!

Good value safari with excellent drivers and a high chance of seeing the big 5
We went on a 3 day 2 night tour of Masai Mara national park and had a great time. There was plenty of space in the van even for the tallest member of our party who is 6'3". The journey to Masai Mara was nowhere near as long as I had expected from what other reviews had stated and the bumpy part is only for about 1/4 of the drive.
We had a great driver called Cyrus who was able to manoeuvre the van into perfect positions for seeing the animals and possibly had the best eyesight in the world as he was able to spot animals hiding in grass that no one else could see until we were closer to them. There was plenty of food to eat at dinner and breakfast which was something we had been worried about but thankfully at no point did we go hungry, all in all a great safari!

Perfect Organisation of individual Safari, no stress on the whole tour, excellent guide
We planned the safari for almost one year with many e-mails to and fro. Selma answered always quickly with new suggestions for our wishes. So we found the ideal safari for us. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Selous and Sansibar. Selma booked all accomodations and the domestic flights for us. Everything worked out well. We did not have any stress during 12 days, because everything was prepared perfect. The car was in good condition and had good shock-absorbers. the Roof could be lifted up, so we could watch the animals Standing in the car in the shadow. We liked our guide Ally who is a very careful driver and lead us to many hidden animals. He knows everything about the animals, birds and plants. His English is good. We had interesting conversations with him. He cared for us two old ladys like a father for his children from mornig till night. The accomodations were all different, special and luxurious. We felt well everywhere. The food was excellent on the whole trip with much vegetables and fruits and two choices of meet. Very often we could choose, what we would like for the picnic. The staff at every place was friendly and well trained. So we could enjoy the wonderful country, the nature and the people everywhere.

Beyond expectations.
Ben and Aurelie responded within 24 hours to all my queries which aided me in making decisions about the trip and my ability to complete it well. Planning was detailed and well executed. Our driver/guides were very knowledgeable and professional. They were committed to ensuring that we had the best experience possible. The library on each vehicle added to our enjoyment and the binoculars were a fantastic addition - better than the ones we had taken.

Most amazing experience, a custome made safari that made our dreams come true!
We had limited time and before we went we described our wishes, safari and boattrip through the delta. IT was all possible. The service was excellent, the food that was made fresh at the camp site. Lovely we even had scrambled eggs at sunrise! We had a Nice tent, slept amazing and muscito free and even had a warm shower!! But we mostly enjoyed Oké the kind ranger who thought us so mutch about the animals, their behaviour. Hè saw everything even while driving through the rough environment. Hè was a true gentleman and made us feel at home and safe immediately. I would recommend this to any one! Best days ever!!
