An adventure of a lifetime.
I loved going on this tour with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Our guide Tom was amazing, he was very friendly and did everything in his power to make sure we saw the most animals and had the best time possible. Also our chef Dula cooked us some amazing food every day. We were eating like kings. I highly recommend going on this tour and asking for Tom and Dula.

Perfect
Incredible experience, highly recommend!!
We went on a 9-day safari trip through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The itinerary was very well planned and we really enjoyed every detail, including the meals, acommodations and activities. We did plenty of game drives and saw the big 5 and the great migration crossing of the Mara river - unforgettable experiences that are well worth the long flight.
Our guide, Tom, was exceptional - very knowledgable, kind and great company! He made our experience 1000x times better by teaching us about Tanzanian culture and making sure we saw all the animals we were hoping for. He is a very safe driver, speaks fluent English and takes great care of his clients! If you book with Wakanda, definitely request him explicitly.
Most of our meals were prepared by Wakanda's main chef, Dula, whose culinary skills can't be overstated. We were impressed by the quality and variety of dishes and were always satisfied. 10/10!
10/10 Safari Experience
We had a great trip with wakanda in August. From the quoting phase, Aishwarya our Wakanda contact, provided all the information in a great format with detailed daily itineraries and important information, she was responsive all the time and helped answer all of our questions in a timely manner. There are 200+ companies doing safaris and choosing the right one is key to get a good experience. Don't go with the bigger or most popular names as those lack the quality provided by Wakanda.
We started at Kilimanjaro airport where there was a driver already waiting for us to transport to Arusha where we stayed for two nights given the late arrival. Next day Aishwarya arranged a tour around Arusha where we visited local shops, market and concluded with traditional local food.
Our safari started the following day consisting of tangarine, lake manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. From the beginning of the safari, our driver Penuel provided the best experience, he is a knowledgable driver who explained EVERYTHING to us, there was not a single question he didn't know the answer. He is also concious that we are driving through the animals natural territories which has to be respected and treat the animals in a proper matter as well. You can see all other drivers rushing between each other to get as close as possible to the animals disturbing them, this was not the case with Wakanda as we explored areas were no other vehicles were around and had the opportunity to see amazing animals without the caos of all the other vehicles.
We saw all kinds of animals from antilopes, gacelles, pumbas, jirafes, zebras, hipos, flamingos, ñus, monkeys and some wild animals like cheetas and hienas to see the big five (elephant, buffalo, rino, leopard, lion). Penuel searched all possible places to find the best animals. We even saw two lions ready to hunt buffalos and a group of cheetas eating a gacelle. Our driver told us exactly what time to start every day and best routes to take to avoid all other tourist vehicles.
We took two extra activities. Night drive in lake manyara where we had the best chance to see the leopards and a hot air balloon in the serengeti. At the end of the hot air balloon we celebrated with chanpagne and a hot english breakfast in the middle of the serengeti. These activities were arranged by Wakanda with those companies and everything worked out just perfect with timing and organization.
The lodges and camps were fantastic, we had a great stay with proper commodities, hot water and good food. Each day, camps prepare the food for the groups on the road. The food was amazing, different things every day with enough variety to have a complete meal and cold drinks always available during the drive. We also had the chance to eat lunch right next to the wild animals which enhanced the experience.
Double recognition to our driver Penuel. We had a storm one day and on our way back from the serengeti we found an old couple alone with their broke down vehicle in the middle of the park. The rain didn't stop Penuel to give them a hand and look at the vehicle. In a couple of minutes working in the rail he was able to get the car running and saved those people. A couple other drivers just past around and ignored the old couple. Penuel you are an awesome human being, keep it up brother!
After the safari, wakanda team transported us back to kilimanjaro airport to take our departure flight. We didn't have to worry about anything, this company had everything under control, well planned and we just had to enjoy every moment. We need to come back in the near future to do a longer trip and 100% doing it with wakanda.
Thank you for one of the best experiences ever!

Great and conscentious
The 7 day great migration safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris was simply amazing. We saw a lot of animals thanks to our amazing guide John Malley, who did a perfect job. Ask for him, if you want to have a great experience. His knowledge about the animals and nature is superb. The accomodations and the safari car were also very nice. I have nothing to claim and all in all I woult totally recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris for a safari trip. Also big thinks to Goodluck for the great planning and communication.

Will make your Tanzanian Safari perfect. 10/10
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! From start to finish, everything was well organized and beyond our expectations. A huge thank you to Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safari for making it all possible, and to Goodluck Mloge for arranging the tour so seamlessly — every detail was taken care of, making it stress-free and enjoyable.
Special appreciation goes to Zephania, a.k.a. Captain Zepha, our fantastic safari guide and driver. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, sharp spotting skills, and friendly personality made the trip unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw the best of the park and had plenty of memorable moments.
Highly recommend this team for anyone looking for a well-planned, exciting, and truly memorable safari adventure!
Thank you sooooooo much!

Perfectly arranged experience
We travelled as a family of five (parents and three grown-up kids), and from start to finish, everything was perfectly organised. Communication with the tour operator was fast and smooth, and their personalised brochure — detailing what to expect, where we’d stay, and the various lodging options — was very informative.
Our guide, Ben, was extremely knowledgeable, truly cared about nature and wildlife, and made the experience even more special. While we saw many other tour operators rushing for the best view with little respect for animals, surroundings, or other vehicles, Ben always approached with care and respect — and still managed to get us the most marvellous sightings. The safari car had a pop-up roof for a great 360-degree view, and the selected tented camps and lodges were stunning. We also loved the picnic basket with freshly cooked lunches each day ;-)
We can wholeheartedly recommend Wakanda Safari Tours for a memorable, respectful, and exceptionally well-organised safari experience.

A real safari adventure
Serengeti Wakanda gave us a well-organized, adventurous and beautiful safari departing from Arusha, to the parks Tarangire, Seregneti and Ngorogoro. On the last day of a total of 8 we went on a mountain hike in the rainforest landscape in one of the lower parts of Kilimanjaro which was also a great experience.
Serengeti Wakanda put together a tailor-made program for us, and they were very easy and tidy to communicate with. To be on the safe side, we arrived in Arusha early on the first day, which then became a waiting day. If you want to shop for souvenirs, there are several options in Arusha, but we most appreciated a nice tour of the city's natural history museum. We had an experienced guide into Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro, which made up most of the trip. He drove, told stories, had a good look, knew all the roads and picked up information about particularly interesting animals or events along the way. He also made sure that we got a delicious lunch every day, in addition to the car having more than enough drinks. The traffic in Tanzania outside the parks can be risky at times, and we really appreciated that the guide drove safely, without taking risks. We also really appreciated safe driving on the last day when we were going to Kilimanjaro. Here we also had a very good and sympathetic guide.
If you are wondering whether to go on safari in Tanzania, we can definitely recommend it! The national parks are both very large, beautiful and rich in animals. We traveled with the whole family with children, who were old enough to both take care of themselves and remember the trip well afterwards. We also stayed at very nice accommodations along the way. Something that could be considered is flying part of the distances, but we also found it exciting to see the surrounding community while we drove between the parks so we woulden't want to cut out all the driving around. We have made a memory together for life!
Tarangire National Park has a beautiful landscape with many fascinating baobab trees and is also known for housing many elephants. Furthermore, the central part of the Serengeti is incredibly beautiful! The open, eternal plain landscape colored in various shades of yellow and green, together with all the animals, takes your breath away. We also saw the start of the great migration north and over to Kenya, we saw impressive herds of wildebeest and zebra. It was truly a great experience! It was also fantastic to see the landscape and animals from a hot air balloon, which we would definitely recommend. There are so many animals in the Serengeti! We probably found it particularly exciting to see cheetahs and lions. Nevertheless, the overall picture and diversity are particularly impressive with zebra, giraffe, elephant, hippopotamus, buffalo, antelope, wildebeest, crocodiles, hyenas, vultures and a whole host of other birds and animals. We ended the safari in Ngorogoro, which also has a very rich wildlife, and which is almost like a small paradise. We would have preferred to stay in the beautiful landscape with all the animals. We hope to be able to go back one day!

Perfect Safari
We went on a 6-day safari in Tanzania as a family with a 6-year-old child. Our experience with Wakanda was excellent.
The exceptional service began with our first contact with the company, where they designed our itinerary, meeting all our needs and providing us with the best options.
Goodluck's pre-trip support was crucial in creating our itinerary and answering all our numerous questions.
And what can we say about the safari? It was one of the best experiences of our lives, and it was certainly made so great by our guide Bashir. Bashir was impeccable, a person with admirable experience, mastering the less-traveled routes and the locations where the most exotic animals were located, and his charisma with our daughter created a pleasant and fun atmosphere. Seeing the Big Five is a very difficult task, as it depends on many variables, and in our case, we were very lucky to see them all, largely due to the experience of our guide Bashir, who was tireless and skilled in putting us in the best position to spot the animals. He's also a big-hearted person who captivated and engaged our daughter every day of the safari.
The safari car we took was comfortable and new, and we had cold drinks available at all times.
One of Wakanda's specialties was the lunch meal. While most companies provide a paper box with food on disposable plates and cutlery, Wakanda provided all our food on porcelain plates and metal cutlery, and the food was prepared in metal pans and prepared fresh according to our preferences.
They were attentive to every detail at all times to provide us with an excellent safari.
We highly recommend Wakanda and have no doubt that it was the best choice we made for an incredible experience in Tanzania. Thank you, Wakanda, and especially Bashir and Goodluck, for the incredible experience.
