We had an amazing tour. Robert our guide is a fantastic driver and guide, he knows alot about birds and has "ëagle eyes"
He really like to make your tour a lifetime experience!
We had a tour for 3 weeks to Sipi falls, Murchison falls, Queen Elisabeth, Ishasa, Bwindi Gorilla track, Lake MBuro, SSese islands.
Especially the Gorilla track was a wonderfull experience to be so close to the gorillas in there habitat.
Uganda lives up to its name as Pearl of Afrika!

Trused and organised company, great safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro area
I can fully recommend the Smile with us tours in Africa as a safari organizer. We went for private and budget accommodation option 4 days and 3 nights trip in January 2020 to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro area.
We book the drip 2 months in advance. The communication with Jacob was excellent before, during and after our trip. We paid a deposit before the trip through pesapal and the rest in USD in Arusha. Try to get the most recent USD notes as 2006 & 2003 dated ones are rarely accepted. The company picked up from Arusha airport and helped with doing some shopping before safari. At the end of the safari, they provided transport to Kilimanjaro Airport. All that has been agreed before trip. From the beginning to the end everything was well organised and in line with all agreements. The driver and guide Mr Amani is every experienced and tired the best to show us all kind of animals. A chef surprised us with his excellent cooking skills. The car had a foldable roof what is a key during safaris. Camping sides were as expected, all with showers and toilets. The tent was spacious. We managed to see the big 5 but please remember this is not a zoo. It is more about the luck. Summarizing we are impressed of level of organisation and quality of services we received from Smile with us tours in Africa. Please feel free to contact me in case of any questions.

Highly Recommended
We were recommended Vervet Safari Tours by my father in law, and they were excellent from the start when we contacted Basili during the planning stage. He was effective and thorough in his communication answering all our questions about the trip. Eventually together we came up with an ideal 5 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We found James our driver waiting for us at the airport. Ha was an outstanding guide in every way. Great company and a master at spotting and tracking animals. We sighted many different animals and birds with him and I believe that his years of guiding experience and knowledge of the places we visited enriched our experience. He was enthusiastic to share his insight on a wide range of issues in our discussions with him. He loves Tanzania very much and was proud to show it. Accommodations for the trip were above expectations, ideal for relaxation after a hard day in the bush. Thank you for organizing a perfect safari.

Probably the most magical and life affirming trips of my life
The communication from start to finish and throughout was exceptional and tailored to my needs. Mwajabu and her staff I’ve already recommended to several traveller friends. I won’t ever go with any other company. Already planning a return trip to Kilimanjaro!!!
The team really went the extra mike for me and it felt like I was part of their family. There was genuine care for my safety, well being and enjoyment of the adventure which I didn’t want to end!

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!
