Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great safari experience. We were lucky to see all the animals we wanted to see in the first couple of hours. We learned a lot and felt very safe during the day.
Everything was very good our guide was very cool we see a lot of animals Mr kapande
Wow! What amazing experience! We made 1 sunset safari and 1 full day. The staff onsite and from the office help us to find a solution due to a fact happened but everything was wonderful! I truly suggest to arrange the trip with Personnel...
We booked a private 4-day safari with Uwanda Tours for our honeymoon, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. It was our first ever safari, so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect, but the experience exceeded anything we could have...
Unbelievable sunset on the Rufiji River during the safari boat and an emotional safari games in Selous. Our guide Kapande was very kind and he had satisfied all our requests!
