Unforgettable experience: a whirlwind safari in Tanzania
5/5

While on a short vacation in Zanzibar, Wakanda Serengeti tour operator gave us the perfect opportunity to visit Tanzania mainland and have a splendid two-day safari.
Everything has been meticulously organized from beginning to end and we just had to enjoy a tour across the incredible sceneries and fauna of Tarangire and Ngorongoro with the help of an English and French guide named Bashir. The latter was not only a very agreeable companion, but also a competent guide and an excellent driver. Very resourceful, he took us precisely to the best locations and gave us a lot of interesting information on just everything!
A very high level of caring and catering, with an excellent level of communication. Wakanda Serengeti, an agency to recommend, definitely!!

Professional and excellent
5/5

Overall:
Excellent execution of hospitality and knowledge combining for an experience I would recommend to anyone considering a safari. I loved that the price was all inclusive outside of tipping or premium drinks at the lodging. We had also wanted to support a local company and this trip was truly made special by everyone involved.

Booking Process:
Worked with Goodluck as our account manager. He was always fast to respond and never pushy. He adapted well to my whims, providing different options depending on what I requested. After it was all said and done I think we booked the 6th proposal after tailoring it to our dream safari vacation.

Guide:
We were randomly assigned a guide, Tom. If we ever come back we will be requesting to get him again. Tom will treat you like a VIP, do whatever you need to get the best photos, and is extremely knowledgeable about the region and animals. He is a people person and was very intentional about getting to know us on the first days to be able to give us the best experience that we were looking forward to. This ranged from the animals we loved the most (to prioritize them for us) to our preferred photo styles (so he could get the car in the perfect position for our experience).

Stays:
We splurged on some of the more luxury options for lodging and the service was unmatched. In the Serengeti you don't have access to some of the finer amenities without sacrificing an authentic safari feel. That said, these locations that Goodluck booked for us were OUTSTANDING. The service at every location matched or exceeded what you would get at a high end hotel. The food varied from place to place, keeping it fresh. Lunches were full meals provided from that night's stay instead of boxed lunches like some other companies use. The tenting lodges were in some of the most beautiful locations ever.

Safari:
Our trip was 7 days/6 nights in early October which is a shoulder season and we still managed to see every animal you hope to see in Tanzania. Serengeti Wakanda put us in the best locations with the best guide to get this done. To shout-out our guide again, I don't think we see all of the moments we did without Tom's instincts and experience. We saw lions sleeping, eating, bachelors, prides, mating, cubs, in a tree. We saw a river crossing with wildebeests and crocodiles. A leopard in a tree. Rhinos at the caldera. A cheetah family chilling, and a cheetah on the run. Any animal we requested Tom found a way to get us there.

Extras:
We added 3 extra moments to our trip. The sundowner, hot air balloon, and night game drive.
- I recommend the hot air balloon no matter what. It was a wonderful experience with an amazing new perspective on the animals. 10/10.
- The sundowner was probably our favorite non-animal moment. We watched the sunset with drinks and snacks provided on top of a hill overlooking the camp. 10/10.
- The night game drive was probably a bit much for us since we had a long day and we're still recovering on sleep. It was very cool to see elephants at night and other animals you don't normally see. But we were also falling asleep on the last ten minutes of it. 7/10.

Final say:
Book with Serengeti Wakanda and ask for Tom. I am quite boujee with my vacation expectations and this did give up some of the things like water pressure or air conditioning in the tents but it's a safari. Go for the experience not a watered down hotel version. These people at all the locations provided some of the best hospitality I have experienced anywhere.

Unforgettable 7 Day Safari
5/5

Our safari experience with Serengeti Wakanda exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Tom, set a new standard of excellence in hospitality and curated our safari for us as a couple. He was knowledgeable about the area and made sure that we had everything we needed— whether it was finding our favorite animals and getting the perfect spot for a picture or stocking our cooler to make sure we had all of our favorite snacks and drinks, Tom took care of everything. If you are like us and have been saving up for your bucket list safari, I promise you want to book with the Wakanda team. Ask for Tom and he’ll make you feel like the VIPs of the Serengeti!

SerengeTour Exceptional operator!! Offering impeccable organization, guides
5/5

We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Serengeti Wakanda. We were four adults.
Our guide, Zepha, was exceptional: from early morning departures to admire the sunrise until the end of the day.
Always patient, smiling, and extremely attentive, he went above and beyond to offer us the best viewpoints and spot animals, even the most difficult to observe.
What's more, he speaks perfect French and provides explanations about the animals and local culture, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
A passionate and attentive guide whom we highly recommend!

A huge thank you also to our chef, Salim, who delighted us throughout our stay. Everything was homemade, always varied, tasty, and balanced, from breakfast to hot dinner, not to mention lunch. We never had the slightest problem, and we loved the quality and freshness of the food. Finally, a big congratulations to Norbelt and then Goodluck, who accompanied us from A to Z, from booking to the end of the safari. Always available and responsive, we felt perfectly taken care of at all times.
Thank you to the entire team for this unforgettable safari! If we were to go on safari again, it would undoubtedly be with you, and we will not hesitate to warmly recommend you to our loved ones.

Beautiful Curated 8 Days/8 Nights
5/5

Serengeti Wakanda curated the most amazing and seamless itinerary for 8 days & 7 nights adventure in Tanzania(safari) and Zanzibar(beach). I traveled in Sept 2025. I worked with Irene and Aisha, who were very responsive and patient with answering a million of my questions. They were kind and professional and well organized. The planning was effortless and stress-free. They were able to change my itinerary a few times with hesitation. My guide for Tanzania, Ebenezer, was great. Very kind, friendly, and professional, and knowledgeable. The accommodations chosen for my trip were excellent. They were all mid-luxury. I was able to see all the animals. The food was consistently delicious — I was never hungry! Please be sure to include The Conserve in the Tarangire (great experience) and the Serval Wildlife Sanctuary (even for the 2 hour stay; feed and pet the animals).

Serengeti Wakanda exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m deeply grateful for the memories and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania or a getaway in Zanzibar.

Trip of a lifetime!
5/5

What an amazing experience! I went on the 7-Day Northern Circuit Classic safari with my dad, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From my first inquiry, Goodluck was responsive, friendly, and very helpful, answering all of my questions as we planned and prepared for our trip. He was really a pleasure to communicate with.

Our guide Tumsifu ("Tom") was great! He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about all of the animals we saw, and really made us feel well cared for during our trip. I always felt like Tom genuinely cared about making sure our trip was both special and smooth. I highly recommend him as a guide, as well as Serengeti Wakanda as a company.

Freddie and Jimmy were knowledgeable, fun, and full of energy, making every safari moment unforgetta
5/5

Our safari with Serengeti Wakanda was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the very beginning, everything was well-organized, seamless, and filled with excitement. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every game drive offered something new—from herds of Zebras and Wildebeests at sunrise to lions resting under trees and even a rare glimpse of a leopard and cheetah

A huge part of what made this safari unforgettable were our incredible guides, Freddie and Jimmy. Their knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystem was outstanding, and they had a real gift for spotting animals we would have otherwise missed. Both of them were patient, friendly, and full of fascinating stories that brought the savannah to life. They made us feel safe, comfortable, and always eager for the next adventure.

The Serengeti Wakanda team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail—from meals to accommodations—was top-notch. We truly appreciated their hospitality and care.

I would highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Safari to anyone looking for an authentic, well-guided, and unforgettable African safari experience. Special thanks again to Freddie and Jimmy for making it extra special—we couldn’t have asked for better guides!

Amazing experience
5/5

Just come back to the UK after an amazing time in Tanzania. We did the 4 day safari, our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. 6 days would have been perfect.

I booked the safari months in advance all via online. I emailed the company back and forth until i was happy with the itinerary and budget i had

We had Witson as our guide, he was an amazing guide with 14 years of experience so he knew where to go to make the most of our day. By the last day we managed to see all the Big 5

The safari compnay were great at communicating. Always replying back to my messages fast and checking to see everything was alright.

We stayed at luxury camps and absolutely loved it. We got upgraded to a better hotel on our first night which we really loved, it was 'the retreat hotel and spa'.

Our day usually started around 7am straight after breakfast and then finished around 5pm. Long day but seeing the animals makes up for it.

Still think about this holiday a lot. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

To finish the trip we took a flight to Zanzibar for 4 nights before we came back to the UK.

Shout out to Witson for an amazing and unforgettable African Safari

Love Noz & Naz

Amazing Experience
5/5

Our time with Serengeti Wakanda Tours has been nothing short of amazing, and we would like to especially commend both our guide and our chef, who made this journey unforgettable.

Sulle(Suleiman), our chef, was truly outstanding. He prepared a wide variety of both traditional African and Western dishes — even surprising us with delicious brownies and cakes! Beyond his cooking skills, he was approachable, friendly, and always happy to chat with us. He ensured that we were always well-fed and comfortable, and even went the extra mile in helping us set up our tents. His professionalism and kindness made every meal and moment more enjoyable.

Tom(Tumsifu), our guide, was equally exceptional. He shared with us fascinating insights about Tanzanian culture, as well as detailed knowledge about the local flora and fauna. He navigated the often challenging terrain with great skill and knew exactly where to find specific animals in the parks, ensuring we never missed a sighting. His extensive expertise, along with his easy-going and friendly nature, made our safari both educational and truly enjoyable.

Together, Sulle and Tom made our experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours truly unforgettable. We cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a memorable safari adventure in Tanzania.

From Game Drives to Wedding Dreams
5/5

12 of us (my cousins & close friends) recently traveled to Tanzania for an unforgettable 5-Day safari across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire with Serengeti Wakanda Tours, and the entire experience was beyond our expectations.

We booked the "Fly in & out of Zanzibar" package and everything was wonderfully arranged from start to finish. Our game drives were nothing short of magical, we saw four of the Big Five up close and witnessed so much incredible wildlife thanks to our amazing guides Jimmy and Freddie, who were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the savannah. They made every moment on the drives exciting and comfortable. We sang and danced on Hakuna Matata everyday and had a blast!!

Both the accomodations we stayed at were top notch, with delicious vegetarian meals prepared for us without onion and garlic throughout the trip. Being mindful of our dietary preferences made us feel so well taken care of, and it really added to our comfort.
What truly made this trip extra special was how the team helped us celebrate our wedding with a private dinner at the Arukore Simba Camp (where we were staying in Serengiti) It was an evening that felt straight out of my dream. On top of that, we had our Indian wedding photoshoot in the heart of the African wilderness in Serengeti...
A huge thank you to Aishwarya, who not only helped us arrange everything but also captured the most stunning photos. She took care of every detail, ensured everything went smoothly, and accompanied us throughout the journey with so much warmth and professionalism.

If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours enough. They don’t just plan safaris, they create once-in-a-lifetime experiences filled with care, joy, and memories you’ll cherish forever.
