5.0/5Kapande made our Nyerere safari absolutely unforgettable. His deep knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife and nature is impressive, and he always shared it with enthusiasm. He drove us safely everywhere, making sure we spotted incredible animals, and kept us comfortable the entire time. His smile and positive energy made the journey even more enjoyable. Truly above and beyond!

We went to a one day safari in Mikumi and it was amazing! Well organized trip, great guides, beautiful landscape and an incredible wildlife.. We saw almost everything what is possible from a very close range. Thanks Uwanda, we will definitely come back!

This was a great experience from start to finish. Communication was top notch, which was important for us as it was our first real safari. We stayed in Nyerere at the Impala camp and the accomodations were clean and efficient. We saw no critters save for a tiny flying big one night in the room. Water was hot and pressure was strong. Food was tasty. Our guide was Kapande and we couldn't have asked for a better driver. We saw every animal multiple times over 2 days except for the leopard, which we told him we were ok skipping. Otherwise, I have no doubt he would have tracked one down for us. I can't stress enough how good Kapande was at finding the animals for us. He let us take our time, and we even went a little longer than we should have the first day During every drive we felt completely safe. Kapande not only had a sixth sense for the animals, but also for the road which was difficult to drive on to say the least. If we return to this park, we will definitely request Kapande again, and I have zero reservations recommending both him and Uwanda Tours

My husband and I hired Uwanda Tours to take us around Selous National Park for 3 days. They assigned Kapande as our driver and guide. He arrived on time to pick us up from our hotel in Dar Es Salaam. He immediately explained to us what to expect on the 4 hour drive we had ahead of us. When we arrived a6 Selous he explained the remainder of the day to us and asked when we wanted lunch and asked how long we wanted to stay out. Our first day drive was very eventful. Kapande spot a lion first, so we got to enjoy him before any other vehicles arrived. We then went farther into the park and Kapande spotted another lion, again we had the lion to ourselves. He took us to out of the way places where we got to see a herd of elephants playing in a water hole. Again. We were the only vehicle there for the first 5 minutes so, we got to enjoy looking at the elephants without any other vehicles present. We saw zebras and wildebeest and a number of other animals I was amazed by Kapande's eyesight. He was able to spot animal I didn't even see. Our next day game drive was just as eventful and special. We again got to see a number of animals and managed to arrive before other vehicles for most of them. We felt as if we had the park to ourselves. The special things we got to see the second day were elephants fighting, a baby elephant that was very curious and giraffes fighting. Our final day we did a boat safari. Kapande dropped us off and picked us back up after the boat ride was over. Kapande than took us back to Dar Es Salaam. After dropping is off, he realized has left our lunches in the truck. He turned around and came back and gave them to us. We were very impressed with how thoughtful he was. The safari vehicle was spotless and Kapande was very knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we got to see everything we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend Uwanda Tours and I would tell everyone to ask for Kapande as their guide. Thank you Kapande for making our first Safari so special.
