Amazing safari and wonderful experience with WAKANDA TOURS!
A friend and I booked the 4-day Camping Safari with the Serengeti Wakanda Team. From the first moment of contact we felt in good hands. Bartho, one of the company owners, answered all our questions immediately and was very friendly.
During the safari Trip, everything was well organised. We had everything what we need: good camping equipment, binoculars, plenty of drinks and food. No wish remained open.
Our guide Costa was able to convince with his expertise of the nature and wildlife in the national parks. He would also brief us every night after dinner on what the plan will be the next day of safari. But not only this, we also learned a lot of the culture and the people of Tanzania from him. He also had a good sense of humour, always making jokes which made our trip even more fun.
Our chef Dennis prepared every day delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and took care that we had enough of everything.
At the first day of the Safari, my friend got sick. Costa and Bartho brought her to a doctor inside the serengeti and the whole crew took care of her. They were able to handle this situation perfectly. Thanks for this again!
All in all i would say that it was a perfect Safari Trip with amazing people and experiences. I definitely recommend the Serengeti Wakanda Team

Unbelievable experience
We booked a private safari for 5 days by Bartho (Serengeti, ngorongoro, lake Manyara, and Arusha) Direct from the start I felt very comfortable. Many companies, which I asked for an individual offer, didn’t listen or rejected my request or offered my an another one for much more money. Bartho has listened and offered everything like I wanted and made it possible. I could choose whatever I wanted and also change this very flexibel. All my questions were responded very quickly and kind. At the end we got an unbelievable tour with Malisa as our guide and driver. We had everything we need, water, wine, lunchboxes and place for charging our cameras and smartphones. Malisa has entertained us in very right way, he knew at what time it is better just to enjoy and not to talk and when was time for discussions. He explained everything about the parks, animals, birds and flowers with a huge knowledge. We also got a lot information about the culture and people in Tanzania. We had a lot of fun, because of Malisas humour and laughed a lot. He is a very experienced guy, but we didn’t have that feeling that he sees the parks every day and this is just business for him. He was highly motivated and also impressed as we were, but for us it was a first time and for Malisa this is a 10000 time. We saw a lot of boring guides in on other companies, So this is a huge difference here. We could share our passion for animals with our guide and highly appreciated that Malisa were very “right in his mindset” regarding the animals. He was respectful to them, and we were happy to see the animals in a free nature. Other companies were not so respectful they were hunting the lion on the road with their cars, very sad to see. In total - thanks a lot Bartho & Melisa for this great experience. We will keep this in our hearts!

Incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to Serengeti Wakanda
After reading good reviews, I contacted Serengeti Wakanda last-minute in hopes of joining a safari the next day. Bartho replied almost immediately with all the pertinent information and confirmed I could hop on a group safari. He went above and beyond to make this happen for me, even showing up the next morning with a pair of sunglasses for me after I had mentioned I'd lost mine. Our driver and guide, Elly, was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, and even gave information in 2 languages to cater to some French-speaking guests. I was the only vegetarian on the trip, but our cook, Dennis, made sure I had tasty food, and plenty of it. This wasn't my first safari, but it was definitely my favorite, due to the efficient communication, awesome staff, and overall experience.

5-day Safari Trip to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro CA and Lake Manyara NP
We heard about Serengeti Wakanda Tours in our hotel in Arusha (Tourist Inn) and booked a spontaneous 5-day safari trip after arriving there from Germany. We received a very informative introduction by the manager Bartho whose office is in the same building block as the Tourist Inn. He could offer us a trip with a cost of 190 Dollars per day per person (we were 3 persons), just starting directly the day after we contacted him.
The safari trip was done together with two girls from Spain, who were also hosted in the Tourist Inn so that we became a really nice and funny group of 5 persons for the following days. We immediately became friends with our driver Gerry and our cook Dennis, who not only did their jobs with great enthusiasm but also with a lot of funny moments in a very smooth atmosphere. In all of the national parks, we had the possibility to see a lot of animals every day (except of the almost extincted rhino we saw all of the "Big Five" and many others more). For the safari not much in preparation was necessary. Two nights were spent in a lodge-like village close to Lake Manyara and two nights were spent in tents provided by the agency, one in the Serengeti and one at Ngorongoro Crater. Food and water were provided by the agency as well, many thanks here to our cook Dennis who always prepared fresh and good meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner in every environment.
For doing a safari in the Northern Safari Circuit we can absolutely recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours for a breathtaking adventure. Still after returning back to Germany we still talk a lot about that trip that will stay in our minds and hearts forever. Thank you, Serengeti Wakanda Tours!

Highly recommend Bartho, he's a charachter!
We booked a 6 day tour through a recommendation from a friend who went on safari with these guys last year.
It was more than what we anticipated. From the moment Bartho picked us up from the airport, you could feel his charisma, he was always smiling and ready to answer our sometimes annoying questions.
During safari, Dullah cooked amazing vegetarian meals for us and there was always a bottle of red wine by our table during dinner.
Our guide Lucas knew what he was doing, he was a good spotter and had a lot of knowledge for the wildlife. You could tell he was enjoying his work. He made sure we saw "THE BIG 5"
A Safari Experience That Is Set Apart
Finding a safari company in Arusha to serve as transport, guide, and handler of permits and accommodations is simple. There are hundreds. It seems as if everyone either is a guide or knows someone who owns a safari company. So how to pick where to spend your hard-earned money to ensure your dream holiday isn’t a run-of-the-mill experience? I didn’t find asking previous “safarians” helpful. They had nothing which which to compare, and everyone wants to think their experience was the best, right?
Enter Bartho. Does personality and passion count when deciding on a safari? Yes! One is sitting for hours in a vehicle looking at the animals and landscapes. He better be funny, amusing, clever, and willing to go to extra lengths to make me happy. I had the benefit of having been on a previous safari, so I knew exactly what I wanted and Bartho delivered it: speakers/playlists for the long drives to the parks and back, favorite snacks and drinks, specific meal requests for my Maasai friend, early entry to avoid crowds, campground with a view, a safe driver (if you’ve “safari-ed” you know what I mean), and information beyond, “Look, there’s a lion.”
I’m a selective consumer and critical by nature. I had a wonderful time with Bartho and Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Communicate your desires for your ideal Safari, and he will make them come true.

We went on 4 days Safari Tour and Thanks to Bartho and driver Daniel we had unforgettable experience
Everything went smoothly, we spent first night in a lodge and the other two in tents. Daniel was very skilled driver and we managed to see the Big Five. Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro were amazing! I would recommend it to anyone.

Tanzania private safari Tour 5 days
We booked a 5 days private safari trip at the last moment. In one night the company organized everything, they are very professional. The car was very good. We had an excellent cook and guide. We saw a lot of animals and the guide explained the story of Tanzania.
It was a lodge and camping tour. For the camping in ngorongoto we advice you to take warm clothes as night is cold.
We recommend this company for safari tour. They are well organized, very kind and available.

Amazing 4 day safari - we could not have been more pleased with the experience.
My husband and I recently did a 4 day/3 night safari with Serengeti Wakanda and it exceeded our expectations! Some coworkers had recommended Bartho and the Wakanda team and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the Safari. From making first contact with Bartho, the level of communication was very good. He would reply to any questions we had straight away and was always available to talk to. He picked us up from the Arusha airport and took us to the hotel in Arusha. The entire Safari was seamless and we managed to see “The Big 5” thanks to our great safari guide Moody. We went to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and saw TONS of wildlife close to our safari vehicle. Our chef Dennis prepared amazing meals for us every day, we were alway fed well. We had fabulous dinner with our choice of beer or wine. We camped in the Serengeti and near the Ngorongoro Crater which was an amazing experience - the Wakanda team set up and took down our tents each day. The sleeping foams provided were super comfortable and the sleeping bags kept us warm at night. We would not hesitate to do another safari with Wakanda and we will continue to recommend them. After the Safari we went to Kenya and Bartho arranged the shuttle for us to ensure we paid the best price. He also helped us get a room on our way back to Arusha at a low cost. Big thanks to Bartho, Dennis and Moody we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. If anyone is thinking of taking a safari with Wakanda do not hesitate to book!! Asante sana!
