Unforgettable experience
After my girlfriend and I decided to go to safari, I contacted Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris and their owner Bartho was very quick to respond. After a quick chat with him I realised that there is no need to search another agency and Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris should be a perfect choice for us. And it was perfect indeed! We had a 4-day budget safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and expected to spend 1 night in the lodge and 2 in the tents, but due to massive rains in the Serengeti area Bartho advised to have another night in the lodge for a really small fee, so in the end we had only one night in the tent. Despite the name “budget”, organisation was perfect, our chief Dullah definitely has a passion and our meals were absolutely gorgeous - no repeated meals, fresh baked bread, desserts - all very tasty. Also, our driver/guide Moody was always in a good mood, told us lots of interesting things about animals and local culture and traditions and did his best to spot as many animals as possible. Except for leopards (but sometimes it’s all about luck on safari), we saw every possible animal - cheetah, rhinos at a close range (very rare!), lions and their war with hyenas, and of course elephants, giraffes and many many more! Also, thanks to our small international (Tanzania, USA, Uganda, France, Ukraine) team (or should I say family?) for no delays in the mornings and a great atmosphere during our adventure.
I highly recommend Wakanda Tours and Safaris - be sure you will have a great unforgettable experience with their team.

A lifetime experience, amazing and unforgettable
I did a 5 days safari with them. We had a wonderful group of nice and funny people and our tour guide Malisa was I think the best tour guide you could ever wish for. He was so nice, funny and able to answer all of our questions. Due to him we were able to see all big fives... He told us to get up early so that we also get to see the more night active animals like the guepards. The food was great and the overnight stays in the Serengeti where the Hyenas joined us had been just incredible. During the night you could hear the hyenas laughing and the lions roaring as if they were just close to you. If your a wildlife fan, you shouldn't miss that opportunity. Even now when I see my pictures and videos I can't stop smiling. An experience I will never forget. Thank you so much for making this an amazing memory of my life.

Once in a lifetime experience!
We booked a trip to Tanzania for January 2020, with the main objective to go in a safari. After reading the reviews, we concluded that the best option was Wakanda Safari with the "5 days budget safari trip", so we would have enough time to enjoy the parks.
We landed in Arusha city one day before the trip start and Bartho, the owner of the company, picked us up from the airport. We spent the first night at Arusha tourist inn, which is a nice accomodation for every tourist in transit. During the trip we slept 2 night in a budget lodge and 2 nights camping (what an experince!!! My personal favourite was the night spend in Ngorongoro, the view was the best!)
The next day we met our driver Jackson and our chef Dulla. We traveled with 4 more people in the car: a smart belgian, a cool american and 2 nice swedes.
Our guide-driver Jackson knew the best places to spot animals, even the rarest ones such as cheetas and leopards; he was trully amazing as he saw the animals from far distance, without binocculars!! He explained a lot of interesting things about wildlife so the whole car ride was a pleasure. He gave us the time to admire the animals and the surroundings without rushing. Besides being an excelent driver, Jsckson did his best to spot the Big 5, so a big thank you to him! Also, a nice surprise for us was that it was baby season :).
Unlike other tourists who were eating sandwiches, we always had tasty cooked food( rice, meat, vegetables). Dulla is an amazing chef, we loved his dishes and appreciate his efforts as we always had at least one main dish and always dessert and fresh fruits. Imagine cooking pie and fresh bread in the middle of the park, fantastic!
Last but no least, Bartho was very responsive and helpful. He went with us to exchange money and gave us nice tips about where to eat ( try Kitamu coffe, it was Bartho's recoomandation and it's a really nice place with good food.You should try the fresh smoothies!) and what to do in the 2 days spend in Arusha. He also gave us a ride back to the airport and even helped us renting a car for Zanzibar.
If you don't know what to choose, we highly recommend Wakanda Safari! The team is amazing and you will surely have an amazing experince.
Thank you guys for everything!

Perfect Safari
I had a game-drive in January 2021. With a friend of mine, we visited Lake Manyare, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. All three parks are very different, can’t even say which of them I liked the most. Nature was terrific!
That was an amazing experience! All was good. Accommodation - simple but clean. Food was extremely delicious. Our cook Abdullah indulged us with fine dishes every day. How he could manage all of those even pastry with a quite limited recourse that is a mystery for me. Safari car with a pop-up roof was very convenient, they envisage even sockets there. They provided us with unlimited bottled water; we had also beer and wine. Our driver Malisa was an experienced guide. Educated us a lot about wildlife as well as taught us some Swahili and explained the traditions and life of locals. He was very helpful, attentive, proactive and friendly. Due to him, we had really great time. Many thanks!
Cannot but say I was pleasantly surprised with Serengeti Wakanda Tours’ punctuality, professionalism and cordiality. When in Africa again, for sure I will choose you guys for my new game-drive ))

Manyara, Tarangire, NgoroNgoro 3 days tour
Me and my friend took a safari with Wakanda on Jan. 25-27, 2021. I was afraid safari planning would be the most difficult part of the trip in terms of planning and communication but it wasn't the case. Well, it took me some time looking thought the numerous tour agencies but whoever is reading this - lucky you - search no further, you've found the best one ;)
In all the seriousness, the service of Wakanda tours is outstanding, communication is easy and straightforward, all your answers are answered and needs are tended to.
Our tour guide Malisa gave us a "brief university course" about the the land and wildlife :)). He also the best at spotting wild life and probably is extremely lucky )) we've been able to see some really rare sightings. The cook Abdulla is a magician, the food was always top notch, provided we had some gluten free people and vegetarian, he made various delicious dishes that satisfied everyone's needs.
Highly recommended!!
P.S. Bring some extra money, nobody would demand tips from you, but trust me, you would love to express your thanks!

Great Value Safari
Highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda tours for your upcoming Safari! For a budget safari, it was very high quality, and I can't see the additional cost of a different operator being worth the increase. Our tour guide (Andrew) was very knowledgeable of the animals and the parks, and we wouldn't have spotted 1/2 of the animals without his experience.
