Serious, nice and wonderful !
We booked a 5-day trip with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. They were very responsive in providing a quote and readily available to answer our questions. They picked us up at the airport, dropped us off at our hotel, and gave us a quick tour of the Arusha market. We spent 4 days in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks with Bashiri. Bashiri speaks excellent French, is a lovely person, drives very well, and did everything he could to ensure we saw as many animals as possible. He shared anecdotes about Tanzanian life with us during our meals. The vehicle was brand new and very well-equipped. The lodges were comfortable, even luxurious, and the food was excellent. We had hot meals every day, which isn't always the case. They were delicious and plentiful. We thank the company and especially Bashiri for this unforgettable experience and incredible safari.

Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced , professional guide.
Fantastic Tanzanian Safari!
We had an excellent mid-range 8 day safari with Wakunda Serengeti Tours. Communication was excellent and each day we were given an outline of the day . Our first day to Mataruni Waterfalls with Josh was a great introduction and the coffee plantation tour with singing was a highlight!
With a brand new pop top Land Cruiser for the rest of our safari, we visited Tarengere NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater during the rest of our 6 night safari. We had an excellent knowledgeable guide in Andrew who was outstanding! we were amazed at how close we got to view so many incredible animals! Accomodation exceeded our expectations and the food and drinks provided were great. We loved how passionate Andrew was about finding great views of the animals and telling us facts about them as well as answering all our questions! Would definitely highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Safari Experience!
We had an excellent private safari tour with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris. From the beginning, the tour was well organized with transfers and clear communication. Our safari guide Tom was the best guide that we could have hoped for. We were able to observe more animals than we could have imagined including the Big 5 thanks to Tom, who is very experienced and knows all the Tanzanian National Parks and animal habitats so well. Tom was able to bring us exactly to where we had the highest chance of seeing the animals and was very professional and knowledgeable about the animals and helped us learn a lot about them. I would highly recommend Tom as a guide to anyone as he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had an amazing safari experience. He made sure we had the perfect photo opportunities, including getting us in the best position to see cheetahs and lions hunting. We were also accompanied by Dulla, our personal chef who was an incredible chef, serving us so many delicious four course meals that were diverse and well beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend clients to specifically request Dulla and Tom for their safari! Our tour also concluded in Arusha where we spent the day exploring waterfalls and hot springs, where we enjoyed learning more about Tanzanian culture with our driver Jackson. The vehicles were comfortable and spacious, equipped with charging outlets and wifi. Our accommodations were also comfortable. Overall, we found our Wakanda safari tour to be an amazing experience!

Unforgettable Private Honeymoon Safari
We joined Serengeti Wakanda Tours for a private 10-Day Budget Safari & Kilimanjaro Day Hike on our honeymoon, and it was unforgettable.
Our guide Edward was exceptional — professional, knowledgeable, and always positioning us perfectly for the best wildlife sightings and photos. We often had the best timing and viewing spots compared to other safari vehicles.
Our cook Dula prepared delicious, freshly cooked meals every day — far better than the standard lunch boxes we saw from other tours.
Special thanks to Goodluck for his quick help in changing our accommodation mid-trip and arranging a complimentary taxi when our flight was delayed. The team’s flexibility and attention to detail made everything smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours for anyone looking for a well-organized, personalized safari experience!
Very knowledgeable, kind and helpful.
We went on a safari with Zepha, an excellent guide, very friendly, very polite, and very helpful. He speaks Italian and has a deep knowledge of nature and animals, explaining everything clearly and interestingly.
He was always punctual and professional, drove safely, and the car was impeccably clean every day.
A wonderful experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to experience a safari with a truly competent guide!

Tom was excellent, a friend, driver, eyes like a hawk, and always going above and beyond.
We just finished a 6-day safari with Thom as our guide and I genuinely could not recommend him more. I’m 23 and traveled with my boyfriend, and from the very first day, Thom felt less like a guide and more like a friend. He was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable and taken care of the entire trip.
I’ve traveled a lot — born in the US and have spent time throughout South America, Europe, and Africa — and this was truly one of the best travel experiences and companies I’ve ever booked with.
Thom has eyes like a hawk—I don’t know how he does it, but he spotted animals I would have never seen in a million years. He found everything we were hoping to see and so much more. He was patient, always willing to stop for photos, shared so much knowledge, and drove incredibly smoothly the whole time. We never felt rushed, and every day felt perfectly paced.
We also have to mention Chef Doula because the food was absolutely unreal. Every meal felt like a feast—breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all out-of-this-world good, and there was always more than enough. It honestly blew us away how delicious everything was in the middle of the bush. Doula was also great company and added so much warmth to the experience.
Between Thom’s expertise, kindness, and unbelievable tracking skills, and Doula’s incredible meals and positive energy, this was truly the trip of a lifetime. If you’re thinking about booking — do it. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better safari. Truly unforgettable. ❤️🦁🌅

We had the best experience on the safari with a fabulous guide.
Even though we arrived during the election period and the WiFi/internet was shut down, Wakanda organized everything for us to have a fabulous safari as planned. Communication and reliability was excellent and we saw many many animals, the guide had exceptional knowledge and the accommodations were all extremely clean, great views and very friendly staff. We had a great experience.

The Best Safari Experience We Could Have Ever Imagined
We were incredibly fortunate to enjoy a 7-day private camping safari for two through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara – and it truly was the best seven days we could ever imagine altough we already made safaris in Kenya and South Africa.
Our guide Stanley and our cook Sulle were an absolute dream team. From the very beginning, we felt completely taken care of. Our well-being and safety were always their top priority, and they did everything possible to make this journey unforgettable.
The food was outstanding. We enjoyed multiple courses every day, freshly baked bread, and every preference – such as vegetarian meals or non-spicy dishes – was met with 100% attention and care. We never imagined camp meals could be this exceptional but Sulle made it possible.
The game drives were incredible. Stanley explained everything in detail and brought us to amazing spots. We saw everything we had hoped for, and even more. His knowledge, experience, and passion were evident every single day.
What impressed us deeply was how quickly spontaneous wishes were made possible – like a Night Game Drive or a Walking Safari, both organized within no time.
We were completely cared for over all seven days, every wish was fulfilled, and at every moment we felt safe, welcomed, and in the best hands.
Thank you as well to Goodluck, our agent. But without Stanley & Sulle non of this would have been possible, bravo guys!!!

An Unforgettable 7-Day Private Camping Safari
Our 7-day private camping safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure perfectly tailored to us.
We were accompanied by our guide Stanley and our cook Sulle, who made the entire trip exceptional. Their dedication to our comfort, safety, and overall experience was truly remarkable. You could feel how committed they were to ensuring we had the best possible time.
The food exceeded every expectation. Delicious multi-course meals, freshly baked bread, and perfectly customized dishes—whether vegetarian or mild—were prepared with so much care. It was incredible what Sulle created in the middle of the bush.
The game drives were absolutely breathtaking. Thanks to Stanley’s expertise, we saw everything we had been hoping for. His explanations were thorough and engaging, and his ability to find wildlife made every drive unforgettable.
We were also amazed at how fast spontaneous activities were organized for us. Both a Night Game Drive and a Walking Safari were arranged within a very short time, which made the experience even more special.
For all seven days, we felt completely supported, listened to, and well taken care of. It was an adventure filled with unforgettable moments, made perfect by an outstanding team.

Exceptional Safari with Willy Philemon – Master Tracker and Guide
We joined Serengeti Wakanda Tours for a private 6-day Fly-In Migration Crossing Safari from Arusha (Northern Serengeti → Central Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater → Tarangire). Our guide, Willy Philemon, delivered an experience far beyond expectations.
He consistently spotted elusive wildlife—two leopards, a black rhino, and even a serval cat—while other vehicles passed unaware. His deep field knowledge covered not only mammals but birds and behavior; he described each species’ adaptations with passion and clarity.
Willy’s guiding style balances safety, professionalism, and joy. He maintained a spotless, Wi-Fi-equipped vehicle with chilled drinks and gourmet lunches, adjusted itineraries to minimize crowds, and handled radio coordination between guides to ensure everyone viewed animals respectfully. He even managed traffic near the Ngorongoro Crater so we reached our flight on time.
We appreciated his photography skills—he captured incredible DSLR shots and helped transfer them to our phones—and his thoughtful cultural insights, teaching us Swahili phrases and practical safari tips. Seeing the Great Migration crossings, elephants and calves in Tarangire, and lions feeding in peace under his guidance was unforgettable.
Willy Philemon is a seasoned professional and a genuine ambassador of Tanzanian hospitality. Highly recommended: *request him specifically when booking.*
