Professional, excellent, mindful and kind, nr1 memories
Words cant desribe how amazing our 3 day Safari was!
Wakanda Tours and our Guide Max is excellent, trying their best to see animals from best spot.
We have been sitting among Elephant, Gnu and Zebra groups, 1 meter away from them!!
Saw cheetah in Tarangire (0% chance) and 2 Rhino in Ngongoro (1% chance).
The car is the best among the old Toyotas we had a LandRover, unlimited drinks, wifi, powersocket, dining table with chairs, we had lunch whereever we wanted, we literally ate 10meters away from an Elephant!!! Amazing memories, best team ever, grateful for Max! 5*
Private car for only the two of us!!

Amazing Guides! Amazing Sights!
Our group of 10 friends (including 3 children under 12) enjoyed a 9-day safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our guides, Tumsifu (Tom) and Francis, were incredible. Their deep knowledge of the region, their keen, experienced eye for spotting animals, and their commitment to ensuring each day was full of jaw-dropping encounters made our trip unforgettable! They were fun, full of stories, and, as parents, anticipated our children’s needs- which made travelling as a big group, with young children, super easy.
For example, when we arrived late to dinner one evening (because we were spending some extra time watching a family of cheetahs eat theirs!), they asked Dullah, our amazing chef, for a quick snack for the kids while we waited for the meal to be prepared. Thoughtful acts like this, coupled with exciting safari days, helped ensure that everyone was always happy and excited.
We couldn’t recommend Serengeti Wakanda or our team more. They curated and guided us through an incredible itinerary!

Tumfisu and Francis were incredible guides! They were very knowledgeable about all the animals
Wakanda went above and beyond our expectations! They maximized every minute of our tour and made sure we saw as much as possible. Our guides Tum and Francis were incredibly friendly and so good with the three kids over 8 days. The food made by our cook Dullah was healthy and delicious and met our groups dietary restrictions. We will miss them all dearly and will fondly cherish our memories with them.

We can recommend this private tour, and want thank Wakanda Tours for the preparation
We had a 7 days private safari. Starting with the Materuni Waterfall and Coffee plantation tour, followed by the Tarangire parc, and Serengeti and Ngorongoro with wilderness camp.
The tour was well prepared and organized, and with Anderson as our personal tour guide we didn’t had to worry about anything. He did a fantastic job by spotting animals and by imitating their sounds. We have seen the Big Five plus many more interesting animals and birds.
Also special thanks to Ashirafu, our safaris cook for his amazing cooking skills.

Amazing experience from beginning to end, it surpassed my expectations
From individual pick up in the airport, to gathering as a group in the lodge the day before preparing for the safari early the next morning, to amazing 6 full days across all the best parks with luxurious full service overnight accommodations between or inside the parks, to returning and individual transfers back to the airport, the whole team behind the end to end experience provided a professional and personalized service, and they all did a great job making the experience unique and special for us.
A special shoutout to our two guides, Bashir and Jeremy, who shared their impressive knowledge of the African culture, fauna and flora, and their long experience in the field selecting the right locations at the right time to observe the different wildlife, and spotting rare animals blending in with the vegetation.
All in all a great experience, surpassing my expectations!

An unforgettable experience
A wonderful experience with Wakenda Tours, thanks to whom we were able to organize a tailor-made 4-day / 3-night safari to visit the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire parks. Everything was perfectly managed from our hotel until our return. Our French-speaking guide, Zaphania, knew the parks like the back of his hand and was able to show us everything there was to see, including the Big Five. A huge thank you to him and to Norbelt for the organization, his availability, and his responsiveness.

A Lifetime experience!
We (family of 3) picked Serengeti Wakanda after speaking with Aishwarya Vyas over the phone. There are more than 300 companies advertising safari, and Kilimanjaro tours!! Spoke to multiple operators, but our conversation with Aishwarya solidified our decision to move forward with Serengeti - she was extremely informative, detail oriented, would reply within 24 hours (had several hour time differences) and most importantly spend hours writing and re-writing our itinerary based on our changing plans. I had booked Kilimanjaro climb and safari with their team. I couldn’t have made a better decision. I was very anxious about my climb as it was just 2 women trekking to Kilimanjaro with a team from Serengeti and Wakanda. Little did we know that they would treat as if we were part of their family! Our guides zakayo and Joshua were absolutely phenomenal! Their team of porters were exceptional. The porters would leave after we started trekking - disassemble the camp, and reach our destination before us - have everything set up - including the tent, luggage and food- by the time we reached the camp. The guides ate all meals with us, conducted our medical exams and gave us a run down on the next day’s plan - The summit night would not have been possible without their support - they kept us going by singing and dancing throughout the way - they brought hot ginger tea which was a lifesaver at Stella point. Seeing that we were exhausted, they even put our crampons on for us to walk the last 100 meters to help us conserve energy. Every single person in that group was always cheerful - no matter what day, time, work or weather. Without this group we would have never reached the highest peak of Africa! And what an experience!! Aishwarya and the Kilimanjaro team painstakingly ensured we had everything we needed to succeed with our climb. Never did we feel we were underprepared or unsupported at any point. If I had to re-do this trip - I would change nothing! After finishing this breathtaking experience - I jumped right into another breathtaking safari experience! led by Aishwarya and Andrew - and what a Safari! This was a trip of a lifetime for me - had been planning it for a year, and they made sure everything I wanted to do I got to do! I was able to see every animal on my list in their own habitat - we chased the migration, we saw the recluse - rhino’s, we danced and sang at the accommodations and became family within 5 days! Andrew and Aishwarya were able to spot animals literally miles away! Their experience and their knowledge of the animals was repeatedly validated by the way the animals moved and behaved! They would inform us what to look out for and that exact sequence would ensue. To give an example - at Gorongoro crater - we saw two groups of lionesses - we thought we were gonna see them prey on a near by gazelle - but immediately Andrew corrected us and said they are not hunting - they are running out the group of lionesses that came on their land. And we saw exactly that - there were several gazelles around but the lionesses were chasing each other- instead of the easy prey’s.
The cherries on the top: The accommodation’s were way better than what I expected - hot running water everywhere! Extensive food options and deserts!! I easily gained multiple pounds! All this to say - I highly, strongly and unequivocally recommend this company and specifically the persons I named! Sorry for this long review!

Making dreams come true
We booked our trip with Irene, who was absolutely amazing from the moment we shared our wishes to the very end of our journey. She truly listened, answered all of our questions with care, and when we ran into issues with our payment (through no fault of hers, just trouble with our bank), she went out of her way to find a solution that worked for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through the planning process.
When we arrived in the Serengeti, we had the pleasure of meeting our wonderful guide, Mike (Michael). From the very start, he asked what expectations we had of the tour, and it didn’t take him long to make our wildest dreams come true. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants, a rhino, a leopard, and so many more incredible animals. The nature was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to witness the Big Five, along with countless other species, made it a trip we’ll never forget. What made it even more special was seeing how respectful and kind Mike was, not just to us but to the wildlife and other guides. It was clear that this kindness and professionalism was shared by everyone we encountered in the park.
During our Safari tour we stayed in two amazing accommodations. First, we spent two nights at Kiriche Luxury Camps. Which was absolutely stunning with the wildlife just outside our tent and combined with professional and kind staff it was truly a five-star experience. We would love nothing more than to get a chance to visit them again. We also spent a night at Escarpment Luxury Lodge, where we had the chance to experience the beautiful singing and dancing of the Maasai. The lodge overlooked Lake Manyara and offered excellent service and delicious food. In fact, throughout the entire trip, the food was some of the best we’ve ever had—fresh vegetables, chicken, and wonderful spices that brought every meal to life.
From start to finish, this was a world-class experience. We are so grateful we chose to book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris. As someone who works in tourism myself, I can say without hesitation that this was a professional, safe, and unforgettable adventure. Thank you so much, Irene and Mike, for everything you did for us. We will be forever grateful for this experience of a lifetime.

A very special experience thanks to Joe
We’ve just returned from the most unforgettable safari, and we are still buzzing with excitement! From start to finish, everything was beyond our expectations — and a huge part of what made it so special was our incredible guide, Joe.
Joe was, without a doubt, the heart of our experience. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, the land, and the rhythm of the bush was extraordinary. He seemed to know exactly where to go and when — we saw everything we had hoped for, and more! Lions, elephants, leopards, giraffes… every game drive felt like a dream come true. Joe was not only informative but also had such a calming presence that instantly made us feel safe, welcome, and at home.
Traveling with our six-year-old daughter could have been tricky, but Joe was endlessly patient and kind. He took the time to explain things in a way she could understand, answered all her many questions with a smile, and made her feel like a real junior ranger. It truly made the trip all the more special for us as a family.
The camp itself was a perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature. The tents were cozy and well-equipped. The entire staff was phenomenal — warm, friendly, and attentive. What touched us most was how they included our daughter in little tasks around camp, which she absolutely loved. She still talks about helping “the grown-ups” and can’t wait to come back!
This wasn’t just a holiday — it was a magical experience we’ll never forget. And we know for sure it wouldn’t have been the same without Joe. He is truly the best guide we could have asked for, and we feel so lucky to have had him lead our journey.
Highly, highly recommend — five stars aren’t enough!

Everything you can ask for in a safari and more
Very knowledgeable and courteous guide and chef (John and Sule). Knew exactly where to go to find the animals. The prepared hot food every meal was excellent. Best Swahili food that you can ask for and some Western options too. The guide and the chef have to spend very long hours everyday. Walking up early to get food ready, packing up and loading the vehicle, etc. May seem expensive while booking but it’s nice you finish the safari will realize that the value they provide for the price.
