7-Days-Tansaniasafari and 1- Day- Materuni Waterfall
I traveled with Kilimanjaro Umoja Tours on a 7-day safari in the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti.
It was impressive.
The organization was truly excellent.
I was able to see four of Africa's Big Five in the Ngorongo Crater. And that wasn't just a coincidence; it was the result of experienced guides and drivers. The hotel and lodge were very comfortable, even luxurious. You could choose your food: local food (which you should definitely try) or pizza. Your every wish was fulfilled. Along the way, there was plenty of drinking water on board a comfortable safari vehicle, and we had lunch boxes, which we ate at specially designated locations. Restrooms were also no problem in the vastness of the Serengeti. Thanks to the entire team.
Next I went on a day tour to the Materuni waterfall with a coffee tour. It was really great.
We had a lot of fun together and I also learned a lot about the Tanzanian nature and culture.
It started that I only showed up for the tour with flip-flops. But due to the heavy rain in April/May, the paths were only accessible with rubber boots. Kilimanjaro Umoja Tours soon organized these... Hakuna Matata!
I could try banana wine and beer. The waterfall itself was overwhelming ..90 m high but only 4 feet deep.
So don't forget your bathing suit if the water is not too cold. On the coffee tour I picked my coffee beans myself and continued to prepare them into my coffee cup. Ok, the beans must be dried before roasting. I had to skip this process. I have already received dried beans and processed them into my coffee. Lunch was also on the way and water.
It couldn't have been better! Thank you very much. You are really a great team that I recommend with a clear conscience.
And my next tour will only take place with you. Promised.

Communication was clear and we felt very safe with Andrew! He knew his way around the parks and we were able to check off all of the animals we were wanting to see. Best guide I’ve ever had!

An incredible experience!
The trip was an incredible experience for my family! Everything went so smoothly from flights to transportation to accommodations and activities. Chrizaan did a wonderful job putting together our itinerary based on where we wanted to go and the accommodations were beautiful and each one gave a different experience. Chrizaan was very responsive and was able to accommodate last minute changes for my family. I appreciated her communication and flexibility in working with us! Thanks to Chrizaan and Discover Africa for making it a trip my whole family will remember and looking forward to future trips with them!

5 star dream team
Norah and William — the five-star dream team!
Norah was incredibly responsive, professional, and quick with all of our communication. We even had the chance to meet her in person and go over our itinerary, which was a really nice touch.
Our guide, William, was equally fantastic. With years of experience under his belt, he knew exactly where to go to spot all the game. Whether you're doing a one-day drive or a multi-day safari, William has you covered. We saw the Big 5 so quickly. He also gave us an amazing tour of the Ngorongoro Crater — his knowledge of the area is unmatched.
After spending five days with William, he truly felt like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide our adventure!

Our Zanzibar Trip
We booked a tour and had everything perfectly arranged from transport to accommodation.
The whole trip went smoothly, and we enjoyed every moment. The beaches, the culture, the food-everything was amazing. Truly a peaceful and beautiful destination. Highly recommend it.

Amazing Solo Trip
I had an amazing experience with Africa Uncovered Safaris on a solo trip in Zimbabwe. They were very professional during both the booking and the tour itself. The itinerary was well designed, my guide Muza was super helpful and the accomodation impeccable. I am looking forward to going on future tours in Africa with them.

Responsive, reliable, and responsible
We just returned from Akagera National Park in Rwanda. There were quite a few tour operators to choose from as we were planning our trip and making a selection was a little overwhelming. We finally settled on Golden Rwanda Safaris because Frank (the owner) was extremely responsive on WhatsApp. The other companies I contacted either never responded or responded with an itinerary and never followed up. I am glad we went with GRS. I was initially worried about booking a tour from the US and the legitimacy of the business, if you share the same concerns just know this is a legitimate business.
We did a 5 day- 4 night tour of Akagera National Park, and it was amazing. GRS provided transportation and a guide throughout that time. It was all-inclusive so we didn’t have to worry about anything from the moment we stepped into the safari jeep. Our guide, Taufique, was amazing to experience the park with. He was passionate about the park and its resident animals. We saw just about everything from dwarf mongoose to lions. The highlight for me was spending two hours observing a herd of 60 elephants!! We didn’t feel rushed at any point in time.
All in all it was an extremely successful trip. Upon our return to Kigali, Taufique, did a quick tour of the city to kill time until we could check in for our flight home. We were very appreciative to not sit in the Kigali airport for 6 hours.
If you are considering GRS as your tour operator, I highly recommend them. You may also want to see if you can get Taufique as your guide. I have to also give a shoutout to Marc and Joshua who were our guides around Kigali for a day.
A week prior to our safari tour, we made arrangements with GRS to take us around Kigali. Marc and Joshua took us around and was very accommodating as well. Joshua and Marc were very protective of us as we went into the local market and were swarmed by shop owners. Marc and Joshua were great.

Incredible guid and extremely knowledgeable
Dennis was an incredible guide and driver. Always tried to show us the best while respecting the wildlife. He could spot animals from so far away, had so much knowledge of the area and the wildlife, and was always happy to share. Dennis was also by far the best storyteller! Highly recommended!
