Bashir is good natured, knowledgeable, and hospitable.
Words really cannot do this trip justice. Irene was so helpful in coordinating the trip and answered all questions promptly. We were able to see so many animals and birds. Our guide Bashir was so thoughtful and an expert on locating animals (patience is key). Luckily on our trip we were able to see the big five, lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and a leopard in less than 24 hours. The lodging was clean and the hotel staff was very attentive. Bashir was so knowledgeable it was like watching a nature documentary. I would 100 percent recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Irene and Bashir!

Great Safari Experience
We had a private tour with Serengeti Wakanda Tours covering waterfalls hiking, coffee plantatiom visit, Safari in Tarangiri, Serengeti and the Crater. The company was super responsive to all our needs and requests. The trip was very well planned, all the accomodations were great and our guide Andrew was super knowledgable and experienced. He was able to find us a lot of great animal sightings. His timing and planning was always great. And he was very friendly and kind. Overall I really recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours to anyone that is willing to make a Safari Tour.

Incredible family safari
Brilliant family safari from start to finish- form putting together a perfect itinerary that hit our or goals and budget, to flawless execution and logistics (permits, hotels, pick ups etc)… but what made it really unforgettable was our amazing guide, Godson, who is not only an expert and passionate about his field, but brings true warmth and friendship to the experience. This was a trip of a lifetime!

Exceptionally organised, responsive & thoughtful
A massive thank you to Serengity Wakanda Tours for organizing an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania! From start to finish, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and heart.
Special thanks to Aishwarya, our incredible tour organizer, who ensured every detail was perfectly planned. Your prompt communication, flexibility, and thoughtful touches made all the difference—we felt looked after every step of the way! Though we booked too last minute and we wanted our trip to merge with our friends but less days, Aishwarya planned it exactly the way we wanted & we were able to cover the entire safari very well.
And to Benji, our amazing driver and guide—what a legend! 🚙🐾 Your deep knowledge of the wildlife, sharp spotting skills, and genuine passion for the land made each game drive an absolute joy. You didn’t just drive us through the savannah—you brought the whole experience to life. Our teen boys learned so much from you and you were so patient with them. Truly unforgettable experience!
Thank you both for making this trip not just a holiday, but a memory we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend Serengity Wakanda Tours to anyone dreaming of a magical Tanzanian safari! 🌄🦒

An Unforgettable Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari
Our safari in Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari was truly a dream come true. We had the privilege of being guided by Tom, our amazing guide, and Ashraf, our incredible chef , two people who made this journey absolutely unforgettable.
Tom was everything you’d hope for in a safari guide and more. His knowledge about wildlife is outstanding. He always seemed to know exactly where to find the animals, and not just the adults, but their adorable little ones too. We saw baby elephants, baby giraffes, baby zebras like it was magical.
What makes Tom truly special is his character. He’s naturally kind, always cheerful, full of stories, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Every evening, he’d sit down with us to plan the next day, always setting a specific time to ensure the best sightings. Sometimes that meant early mornings, but trust me: he knows exactly when the animals are most active, and it’s 100% worth it.
He made sure we were always comfortable, kept us informed, and took the time to explain the culture, the land, and even a bit of Swahili! Thanks to him, I’ve learned so much about Tanzania and the Maasai people. And I now know a few Swahili words too! I also managed to take amazing close-up photos of the animals thanks to his skills and timing.
And then there’s Ashraf, our chef who is only 23 years old, but what a talent! Honestly, he should open his own restaurant one day. He prepared fresh, delicious meals three times a day, traveling with us the whole time. He barely slept, just to make sure we were well taken care of. He cooks with love, works incredibly clean, and is doing his best to learn English. I’m so thankful for everything he did during this trip. He was a huge part of our experience.
Another lovely surprise: we even received some really thoughtful gifts along the way (but I won’t spoil what they were!).
A quick note on tipping: please remember that tips are an important part of their income. Even a small gesture like $2 for someone who helps load your bags means a lot. Unfortunately, we didn’t bring much cash, but our guide kindly covered some tips for us, something we were incredibly grateful for. For the guide and the chef, we recommend budgeting $5–10 per person per day. Believe me, they absolutely deserve it.
If you’re still hesitating about going to Tanzania, don’t. Go and enjoy. We never once felt unsafe. Everything was well-organized, the safari vehicles were super cool, and the whole experience was beyond what we imagined.
I also highly recommend spending at least one night in a tent. Waking up with the sunrise and the sounds of animals around you is an experience you’ll never forget.
To Tom and Ashraf: thank you again for everything. We will never forget you.

Wakanda is TOP NOTCH in every way!
We booked a 2-night, 3-day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 young adults). Even before we left home the communication with Wakanda was quick, clear, friendly and professional. This level of service continued throughout the trip. They made sure to communicate every step of the way. Each person we interacted with, from collecting the final payment, to transportation to/from the airport and of course, our guide, could not have been more friendly or professional. Each person was crystal clear about explaining the tour and answering every question we had.
We hit the jackpot with Max as our guide. He met us at the airport, set up a table with drinks and took time to ask what we wanted from the safari before we even started. He coupled his amazing skills and knowledge with what we wanted. He always made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. He obliged us with "pit stops" and never started driving again after a stop without checking to make sure everyone was ready to move on. We never felt rushed. Each evening he would suggest a plan to accommodate our wishes of seeing as many animals as possible, and would make sure we were all on the same page. He went our of his way to make sure the lodging would allow us to pack our breakfast so we could get an early start.
Max seemed to have a superpower of spotting animals from a distance and would enthusiastically point them out. We saw the BIG 5 and then some. Obviously, Max has no control over the animals, but he consistently took us to beautiful locations with lots of animals. We took glorious photos of animals big and small. He shared so many interesting facts and took pleasure in our excitement that it was evident he loves his job. He had only positive things to say about Wakanda as well, which speaks volumes. He was careful not to promise anything, but worked diligently, communicating with other guides, to track down animal locations. Max seemed to know the parks like the back of his hand, taking each twist and turn with confidence. He would patiently back the vehicle up if we spotted something we wanted to see, and answered hundreds of questions not only about animals, but also about local culture, various plants and geography. He was an excellent driver. He did his best to navigate the smoothest parts of the roads and never took unreasonable risks. At lunch breaks, he always made sure we were taken care of first, setting up our table, setting out food and drinks, making sure we were served. The food was plentiful and each day there was a wide variety of tasty dishes, cold and hot drinks, and all dietary restrictions were accommodated. He stayed with us and visited with us, even when it would have been easy to sit with other guides.
We had an absolutely amazing safari! I cannot imagine a better guide or tour company. We are already talking about going again some day and we will definitely book with Wakanda and ask for Max!

The best tour in my life, witness the power of life.
The guide, Merito, is awsome. He can find animals from far far away, and know everything from the grassland. He is professional and enthusiastic.
The hotels are good, but usually has no wifi in the room.
