An Unforgettable Safari Experience Thanks to Our Amazing Guide!
5/5



Our safari was absolutely incredible, and so much of that is thanks to our wonderful guide, Stanley. From the moment we met, he made us feel comfortable, safe, and excited for every adventure ahead. Stanley has an incredible eye — spotting animals we never would have seen on our own — and knew exactly where to go for the best sightings.

Beyond his deep knowledge of the wildlife and environment, it was his passion, patience, and sense of humor that made every moment special. We learned so much about the animals, the landscape, and even local culture. Every game drive felt unique and unforgettable.

Thanks to Stanley, we didn’t just see Africa’s beauty — we truly experienced it. We can’t recommend him highly enough and feel so grateful to have shared this adventure together.

8 day Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro and 6 day Safari
5/5

We completed the 8-day Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro climb and a 6-day mid-range safari with Serengeti Wakanda, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. We can’t recommend Serengeti Wakanda highly enough.

Kilimanjaro Trek
Our guides, Godwin and Felix, were outstanding — above all, we felt safe with them at every stage. The mountain team worked incredibly hard to make the experience comfortable and memorable, with thoughtful touches included in the price (like our own toilet tent and hot water bottles). We had one of the best setups on the mountain, and the porters were exceptional and lots of fun. They ensured we were well-prepared for a successful summit, conducting twice-daily checks to monitor our response to the altitude.

Safari Adventure
The safari was equally impressive, with a well-planned itinerary covering four very different parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater). Our guide, Justin, was knowledgeable and accommodating, tracking down some truly exceptional wildlife sightings, knowing exactly where to look for what we wanted to see. The accommodations throughout were excellent and well-matched to the itinerary.

Trip Planning and Support
A huge thank you to Aishwarya for crafting such a brilliant itinerary, accommodating our changes, and promptly answering every question — no matter how small — before the trip. They also made payment on arrival very easy - coming to us at a convenient point in the trip (which for us was after our climb).

Handling Unexpected Issues
We had a few hiccups due to our airline losing our bags. Aishwarya was proactive in chasing them down, even using SW drivers at the airport to follow up. She was the first to inform us that one bag was en route to the hotel. When the second bag hadn’t arrived before our Kilimanjaro trek, she arranged for our guides to take us to a hire shop for essential gear. Once the bag did arrive, she ensured it was transferred to our next accommodation after the climb.
Even when our departure flight changed airports and pushed back four hours, Serengeti Wakanda adjusted the drop-off without any issues and squeezed in a trip to a Masai village. Hakuna Matata!

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!!

The absolute best!!
5/5

We went on the 2 day safari trip with departure from Zanzibar to Arusha and then Tarangire and Ngorongoro conservation park. We traveled as a family of six including two grand-parents and two kids (who had just turned 5 and 8). We had the absolute best experience with Serengeti Wakanda tours. From the booking stage, thanks to personalized support from Beatrice and Jamilah, to the trip itself, with a seamless organization all the way. We didn't have to worry about a thing.
Our guide Bashir was awesome! he even spoke fluent French on top of English and Swahili, and we saw animals beyond what we were hoping for. He got us the best wildlife show both days :)
All of it with a super comfortable car and cool open roof, and amazing lunch and breakfast spots surrounded by wildlife.
We felt like nothing could have been better for us! It was a perfect trip!!
Asante Sana, and when we can come back for longer for a full Serengeti trip we will definitely use this company again!! :)

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!
