Very, very professional.
Personally I got value for money and it was the most enjoyable experience I have ever encountered.

Bad experience. We feel abandoned and unprotected by this company.
Terrible experience! I went with my family to try to see the great migration and thanks to local guides and not our driver we found it but our driver Linos refused to go. First, he asks us for money and they didn't say anything in the company, which we refused, then he began to speak violently and kept us standing for two hours.
When we got internet we called 7 wonders and they informed us that for the 3 hours we had already lost we should book another hotel in the area where the great migration was and pay 2 taxes from the natural parks.
We agreed to pay, we reserved the hotel on our own and when we said to go, the driver Linos refused again, demanding payment in cash. We call 7 Wonders again and they tell us that we must pay in cash.
We take out all the money we have in cash and we are missing 160 USD to reach the amount of 1050 USD that they ask us to pay the park taxes and we inform them that when we go through an ATM we will pay them the amount that is missing.
It is at this time that the situation becomes totally surreal. The driver Linos calls the company and makes up a story that we have insulted him and that he is not going to take us to the area of the great migration where we had already reserved and paid for a hotel minutes before. We called the company and he told us, to our surprise, that we had offended his driver and that the new plan was cancelling.
I insist, at no time did anyone say anything offensive to the driver Linos.
We missed the chance to see the great migration.
We lost 662 USD from the hotel we had booked.
We had to put up with another day and a half with this driver and his derogatory comments about what he called our white money.
We had to see Ngorongoro with a negative environment and with 0 explanations.
We had three car breakdowns along the way.
Tanzania is beautiful. There are many Safari companies.
I think that in our case, perhaps more than being a problem with 7 Wonders, it was a manipulation and attitude of the driver.
He wanted to share the experience because no one should go through the situation that we live.

Fabulous 2 night safari in Nyerere
I was a little nervous about booking a with a local independent operator but I didn’t need to. Jacob put my mind at ease sorting everything out. Our guides picked us up on time from our hotel in Dar es Salaam before driving for just over 4 hours to Nyerere Tented camp where we received a warm welcome and stayed in a fabulous “room”. Our guides drove us to the meeting point of our boat safari and this was brilliant. Our boat guide was fantastic and we saw hippos and baby crocodiles before watching the sunset. The next day our guides took us on a full day drive at Nyerere NP. And although we didn’t see any lions we did see loads of other animals (baboons, elephants including baby’s, giraffe, zebra, impala, crocodiles, hippos, wildebeest, buffalo, hyena & lots of birds). It was a really amazing day. The following morning we were driven for a walking safari, which was ok, a bit more comedy than educational but still saw monkeys & interesting insects. We then had breakfast and were driven back to Dar es Salaam where our ferry tickets to Zanzibar were sorted for us. Jacob also arranged a driver from the ferry to our hotel. Overall a really amazing few days.

Best Safari ever
Amazing safari experience with family! Everything was well organized, our guide was very friendly and our chef was wonderful! The safari exceeded our expectations.
First class organization and fabulous guide and driver with 1 2 1 attention from start to finish!
This was my 7th Safari and the best one yet. So well organized from the beginning and the added bonus of being 1 2 1 with my guide and driver and not having to share with other groups. As a solo traveler I was not expecting this. The 9 days I spent on safari were varied and interesting and very informed. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so reliable at all times. I cannot recommend Uwanda Tours highly enough as the whole experience was fabulous.
I did a lot of research before I booked with Uwanda Tours and I chose the best I could find with good value for money and location.
As for the tour itself, I saw everything I wanted to see except Wild Dogs and so much more than I expected including 2 Elephants with babies having a water and mud bath, rolling in the mud and enjoying it so much, a pride of 13 female Lions, Elephants you could almost reach out and touch, more Giraffe, Hippos and Crocodiles than I have ever seen, and video of a Lilac Breasted Roller going into a tree hole to feed it's chicks.
The varied landscape was a winner as well and the trip to bathe in the Hot Springs was a highlight as well as the boat safaris. If you have never been on a safari before, or even if you have, you could not find a better company to go with.

- The accomodations ranged from high-class lodges to medium-priced.
- Communication was always fast via Whatsapp.
- The price of the tour was a little cheaper than the ones offered by other operators.
- The tour was well-organized and everyone was really friendly.

Everything went smoothly, from the first contact to the start of the tour. Explanation were clear.
We were 6 friends, 3 couples. Everything went smoothly, from the first contact when we got the explanation of the tour. Shoes listened to our specific request for a wedding anniversary and responded perfectly. Great communication before and during the tour.
Unfortunately Shoes was not available for personal reason but a friend of him, Donald, took extra care of us and we had a wonderful time.
I highly recommend taking a tour with Khalanga and big thank to Donald who made sure to make our experience and trip a thing to be remembered.

The best :)
If you are considering a safari consider this company. A solo traveler I was treated so well, wonderful happy professional driver and guide. Accommodations were excellent. I did pay a bit extra for the glamping and the hotels and am glad I did. Our guide made every effort to have his customers see all the best the parks have to offer. Oscar was a very safe driver and made sure everyone had what they needed. Thank you
