Flawlessly planned
My husband and I worked on a custom tour for Rwanda and Uganda and had guides in each country coordinated by AST. In both cases, the quality of our guides was fantastic. We were late arriving in Kigali due to fog but when we arrived, James didn’t seem bothered. He offered is water and a chance to change, then checked us into our hotel, to the Kigali genocide museum, to the market and arranged for a fantastic dinner. We slept well and the next morning he drove us to the border where we cheerily greeted by Geoffrey. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease and grateful.
Geoffrey also made sure to keep us hydrated and fed, and he shared plentiful information about locals living in the region and cultural norms as we drove across the country from Kibale to Entebbe.
We’d be happy to book with this company again and are especially grateful for our time with James and Geoffrey. They made our visit to the region special.

Excellent service from start to finish
Simon didn't just book us the perfect safari, he looked after us from day one, keeping us informed from the moment of our enquiry and throughout. He didn't join us on the actual safari, entrusting us to our driver/guide 'Peter', but was there to see us off and welcome us back. The whole trip surpassed our expectations, I would not hesitate to recommend Simon (and Peter).

the experience was absolutely perfect and well prepared
the service and availability was really good, the tour was prepared really well and we got an amazing experience.
The safari tour was amazing, we got the chance to see a lot and the guide was great always available and we were able to change plan during the way in case there was something else to do.
The planning from Issa was super, she got in touch with me and explained everything in details really well.
Definitely this travel met our expectations

Fun and efficient safari adventure
Had a great experience with Serengeti Wakanda over the course of our 5 day Safari. The guide (Simba) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the animals - and made a point to drive out of his way to take us to further flung areas where we had a better chance of spotting wildlife. Luckily we saw all of the big 5 among other things.
I opted for the camping safari which was fine - the tents are comfortable enough and the campsites give you an opportunity to really be in the middle of the wildlife. also if you do the camping safari you will have Suleimani as your cook (he makes amazing food and is generally a great guy).
Tl;DR - Service was great, we saw a bunch of animals, everything was as advertised. 10/10 would recommend.

A wonderful experience in the nature - Selous Safari Game
Before going on a family vacation, we contacted Uhuru Travel and other companies to help us with our trip.
As we had never been in Tanzania and we were a group of 13, with 6 children’s, we needed someone to help us with our travels, visits and suggestions.
Having chosen Uhuru was the best decision we could have made, since in addition to everything going as planned, Margaret, the person directly involved with the organization, handled everything with extra sympathy, politeness and good will, realizing our intentions at every moment.
They integrated all my preferences and needs to the itinerary while using their own experience in the field to design a trip of my dreams.
A 5 Star company and specially a 6 star to Margaret that was unstoppable, always trying to give us the best options to our trip!
We would recommend Uhuru Travel to anyone wanting to have a wonderful safari experience in Tanzania!
Also could not forget our guides during the Safari, Yoda and were fantastic!! Great attitude, and very knowledgeable about the animals and behaviour and finding the good spots to see them.
They were unwearying and we could almost with the 'game'!!! ;-)
We just had an amazing time. A trip not to forget!

wonderful safari days
Dear Afromaxx team
All expectations of our safari have been exceeded by you and your friendly staff.
From the first contact at the travel fair in Dresden with Ms. Schröder, about the preparation and the information by email before the trip, the pick-up at the airport and all transfers - were perfect and our good gut feeling was confirmed again and again from the beginning.
The highlight, however, was our driver and guide Charles. He has become a friend of ours these days. His loving and cordial nature, his almost perfect knowledge of German and the incredible knowledge of so many animals, especially the German names of all bird species seen, plus some anecdotes about the animals and the landscape were indescribably beautiful.
Finally, he brought a gift to each of us. Thanks for the great time with you Charles - we will be back, I promise. Ms. Schröder hold this man well.
Anyone who has ever seen this animal world live will not visit a zoo for many years.
The days to relax on Zanzibar were also wonderful.
All people in Tanzania are so friendly, even though they have so little. These days you learn to be humble again and thankful for the happiness that you were born on the other side of the earth. Anyone who has a problem with immigration in Europe should take a tour of an African village, visit people in their home, school or hospital ......
A few comments about the organization. Maybe you could consider organizing the first and last night in Arusha (near the airport) rather than in Moshi, which saves a lot of driving, time and fuel. We also found it a shame that our guide was not allowed to stay in every lodge and was not always allowed to eat at our table.
Another note on the visa. It is still possible to apply for this at the airport, the waiting time is exactly the same as with an online visa. An extra visa must also be applied for children under the age of 16, although we indicated our daughter (14 years) in the online visa.
Good luck to you and always satisfied guests.

Best experience of my life! Thanks Noel and Team!
I have used Fur Tours & Trek for my recent trip to Tanzania. Everything worked out perfectly and we had a very good experience. The most important thing for me is that Noel & his team are super reliable and everything went according to plan. Fur Tours & Trek is extremely experienced in what they do and hence I can only recommend to book the tour with them.

Absolutely amazing stay in a beautiful house !
We stayed at Twiga tower for a week and absolutely loved it! Beautiful and stylish house with all the equipment you could dream of!Elize and Yurgen were just amazing......We didn't want to leave:)
Their Braai dinners are an absolute feast!
The house is conveniently located in the wildlife reserve, so you you don't have to go far to see the animals, they come to you. Hosts helped us with arranging our Safaris and everything went smoothly. Kids were so impressed and happy. Every morning we had our breakfast on the terrace surrounded by birds, monkeys and other nosy creatures. Thanks Elize and Yurgen!

Great service and accommodation conditions
One of the greatest experiences while in Tanzania. The camp is new and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I wish I could stay there a little bit longer. The safari was just perfect, not so many cars, our guide gave his best to see all the animals, big thanks for that. The food at the camp was delicious and big portions. Only good words for the place. I recommend it. Unforgettable experience. Thanks.
