A safari with the Wakanda family is synonymous with quality.
From the booking process, planning, advice and communication, everything is carefully planned and personalised according to our requests and needs. Here, I have to thank Giulia, Lucia and Aishwarya for all their professionalism.
But that alone does not guarantee a great safari. The safari guide is extremely important — he is the one who makes everything happen and brings the whole experience to life.
And here we found Edward, the Cristiano Ronaldo of safaris! As a Portuguese person, I can think of no better way to explain this man’s excellence. He knows every corner and every secret, knows the history and the animals, and at times he could even predict their behaviour. On top of all that, he is a wonderful travel companion, always in a great mood and with an infectious positive energy.
Thank you all for making us live such an incredible experience!

Exceptional company, outstanding planning, and the best guide we could have asked for
Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris exceeded every expectation during our private Tanzanian safari.
I compared proposals from more than 10 companies before booking. Wakanda stood out because of its professionalism, excellent communication, well-designed itinerary, carefully selected lodges, and very competitive value. All the logistics were seamless, and our airport transportation was easy, punctual, and very well arranged.
Aishwarya was wonderful from the beginning. She arranged several WhatsApp calls, remained responsive throughout months of planning, listened carefully to our priorities, and never pressured us into choosing a particular lodge or destination. Her upper-mid-range and luxury lodge recommendations were spot-on. Lala Salama Serengeti Luxury Camp was especially memorable for its beautiful location, hospitality, comfortable accommodations, and unique open-air shower.
Our Wakanda guide, Jimmy, was the heart of the experience. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and responsible wildlife guide with an extraordinary eye for spotting animals. His positioning for photography was consistently excellent, yet he always remained respectful of wildlife, the environment, other guides, and nearby vehicles.
Jimmy was also a remarkably skilled driver on the rough and unforgiving Serengeti roads. We always felt completely safe. He cleaned and prepared the vehicle every day, happily accommodated early departures and long game drives, and remained enthusiastic and attentive throughout the safari.
We saw the Big Five and an incredible range of wildlife, from lions, leopards, hyenas, rhinos, cheetahs and their cubs to serval cats, elephants, rhinos, and countless bird species. Most spectacularly, we witnessed a wildebeest crossing of the Mara River. This is never guaranteed, and Jimmy’s experience, patience, and excellent positioning helped us witness one of nature’s greatest events.
During our 10 days together, Jimmy became like family. His warmth, knowledge, professionalism, and genuine respect for the animals made this the safari of a lifetime.
We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris. From Aishwarya’s excellent planning and the smoothly coordinated logistics to Jimmy’s extraordinary guiding, the entire experience was seamless and unforgettable.

Great Service, People, and Mission!
I had an absolutely amazing time with the Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris!
The entire process was so seamless. The planning was very easy and straightforward. I appreciated the PDF Guide for preparing for the trip. All we had to do was book the package and then our flights!
Our guide was Max and he is the absolute best! He prepared everything we could need, constantly checked in to make sure we were ok, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time! We were able to see sooo many different animals because he could spot animals miles away.
I have and will continue to recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Max to anyone and everyone! We cannot wait to return :)

Amazing Guide and Planning!
We had an amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda. Our guide Daniel went above and beyond to make sure we spotted all the animals we wished to see like the big 5 and allowed us to be lucky enough to experience the great migration in the northern Serengeti with an amazing view. The guides are very experienced and know what they are doing, especially Daniel. Beatrice did a great job in strategizing our schedule in order for our game drives to
be perfect. Thank you for making our first safari experience an unforgettable one!

Serengeti Wakanda, Unforgettable Safari
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An incredible and unforgettable experience. We felt completely at ease throughout the trip, knowing the Serengeti Wakanda team was there to support and look after us every step of the way.
We thoroughly enjoyed the safaris, saw an impressive number of animals—including the Big Five—and were incredibly lucky to witness the spectacular Mara River crossing by the wildebeest and zebras.
The accommodations also exceeded our expectations, making the experience even more special.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Gerald, who was always attentive and eager to explain everything we saw. Thanks to him, we had a fantastic time and learned so much about Tanzania's wildlife and nature.
We had a wonderful time and are taking home memories that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda—and especially Gerald! 🇹🇿🦁🐘

Perfect Honeymoon Safari
We are celebrating our honeymoon and booked this safari as a ‘once in a lifetime trip’ and it has not disappointed! After doing our research, we were recommended Serengeti Wakanda as a company and from first contact, everything has been so smooth and flexible with frequent contact from Goodluck. We were able to tailor our trip perfectly based on the areas we wanted to see and down to the different accommodation choices and it was no trouble at all. From our arrival at the airport in Tanzania, the guide was waiting and then after 2 nights in Arusha, our safari guide, Andrew, collected us for our 6 day safari through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. Every day on Safari was amazing, we were lucky enough to see everything we wanted to see, Andrew knew all of the best spots to search for animals and had so much knowledge and many stories to share. We enjoyed lunch away from the crowds in the parks, with hot meals prepared by the lodges and set out by Andrew. The vehicle was a Land Cruiser 4x4 and was comfortable despite the “African Massage” roads, with cold drinks on board every day. Each of the lodges suggested by Goodluck were special, food and staff were amazing but a special mention to La La Salama in the Serengeti which was the best accommodation by far and is not to be missed! Serengeti Wakanda as a whole has been super professional, Andrew gave us a time to leave each morning and was always on time and drivers from the airports were there ready for our arrival which gave us peace of mind that everything was in hand, with Goodluck available by WhatsApp throughout. We cannot fault a single thing about our honeymoon and will definitely be recommending Serengeti Wakanda and especially Andrew the guide to friends and family when we’re home.

Professional service, excellent guides and accommodation
Having joined this dual adventure over December 2025 from the Serengeti to Mt. Kilimanjaro, I couldn’t agree more with the praise for Wakanda Safari. Everything from the logistics to the comfortable accommodations was handled seamlessly.
Serengeti to Arusha with Elia: Elia was outstanding. With his environmental science background, his deep knowledge of animal behavior, plant species, and local ecology turned every game drive into a masterclass. Beyond his expertise, he is genuinely humble, polite, and welcoming—an absolute pleasure to travel with.
Kilimanjaro Trek: Our mountain guide was equally incredible. His command of the terrain, flora, and fauna kept us engaged the entire climb. He carried our food, kept us well-fed, and guided us down safely with immense care. I was so grateful for his dedication that missing the chance to tip him in cash on the spot has been bugging me ever since—something I am making sure to rectify now!
Wakanda Safari employs top-tier guides who truly make the experience. Highly recommended!

Experienced
We were a group of nine who arrived in Kilimanjaro from Durban for a 9-day mid-range safari, with the highlight being the Great Migration and, hopefully, experiencing the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding regarding the itinerary, we did not get to visit the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. This was disappointing, particularly as we had specifically planned to arrive in Kilimanjaro for this experience. In hindsight, we could have travelled directly to Arusha, which would have saved both time and resources.
Accommodation
Most of the accommodation was of a moderate standard and generally adequate for a safari.
At Kaliwa Lodge in Moshi, however, we had an issue with our first room, which had a large number of big black ants running around the room, including on the bed. There were also house lizards on the wall. We brought this to the attention of the staff and were promptly given another room, which was much better and comfortable.
Our stays at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, Lala Salama Serengeti Luxury Camp and Masek Tented Lodge were particularly good and stood out among the accommodations.
Food & Meals
The hotels generally made an effort to consult with our group about our dietary requirements and preferences, which we appreciated. However, we found that the meals were quite basic, particularly considering the length of the safari.
Unfortunately, at one point during the trip, seven out of the nine members of our group became very unwell with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. This was obviously very unpleasant and affected the enjoyment of the safari for those involved. While we cannot say with certainty where the illness originated, we feel that food handling, storage and temperature control during the safari are areas that deserve particular attention.
One suggestion would be to pack picnic lunches in properly insulated warmer boxes, rather than conventional picnic baskets. On some days, the lunches remained in the hot safari vehicle for an extended period before being eaten. Where possible, an earlier lunch stop would also be preferable, so that food is not left in a hot vehicle for several hours.
We believe that paying closer attention to food storage and temperature control would significantly improve the comfort and safety of future safari groups.
The Safari & Our Guides
The safari itself was very well programmed, and we were fortunate enough to see all the animals we had hoped to see. The organisation of the game drives allowed us to experience a wonderful variety of wildlife and, of course, the incredible spectacle of the migration.
We had two 4x4 vehicles with two driver-guides, Godlove and Andrew. Both were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, helpful and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible wildlife experience and made every effort to find and show us the animals.
My husband and I travelled with Godlove throughout the safari, and we were particularly impressed by his driving skills. He was calm, careful and professional at all times. He respected the rules, never drove recklessly or unnecessarily fast, and always made us feel safe and comfortable. He also took great pride in keeping the vehicle clean and had it cleaned every day.
Although we travelled in Godlove’s vehicle, I also had the opportunity to observe Andrew’s driving and professionalism. He demonstrated excellent driving skills and appeared equally competent and safety-conscious. The five members of our group who travelled with Andrew were also very happy with their experience and had no complaints.
Overall, we had a very good safari experience and saw an amazing amount of wildlife. The safari was well organised by Serangity Wakana, and the dedication, knowledge and professionalism of Godlove and Andrew were a major part of what made the trip enjoyable.
With clearer communication about the itinerary and some improvement in the standard and inspection of certain accommodations, the overall experience could be even better.
Despite the few disappointments, we will take away many wonderful memories from our Tanzanian safari, especially the incredible wildlife and the dedication of our two guides.

We had a great holiday.
We had a brilliant safari holiday in Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda. We wanted to take our time on safari and have a range of other
experiences, and Gwen helped us come up with a personalised itinerary. She was really helpful and communicative throughout both the booking
process and the actual holiday.
Fabian looked after us really well in and around Arusha. We had a great time on our city tour as well as our visit to Materuni/Chemka,
and he was always very informative and supportive.
Charles was our guide on safari and he was both incredibly knowledgeable as well as warm and easy to talk to. His knowledge of the animals and the area is tremendous, and we had a range of really memorable sightings thanks to him. Highlights included seeing a successful cheetah hunt, all three big cats on kills, and three different wildebeest river crossings. We felt the drama and unpredictability of life in the Serengeti.
Charles' knowledge of the areas meant
a lot of our sightings were not busy at all, and we had some great lion sightings to ourselves. He helped us feel immersed in the experience of being with the animals so we had a glimpse into their world.
The food was great throughout, and our chef Achraf was really accomodating and cooked a varied amount of food (huge helpings) with amazing desserts.
Both Charles and Fabian were extremely kind and engaging with our son, he misses them! They were really accommodating and made him feel really valued and welcomed.
We would totally recommend this safari company to others.

Amazing safari experience
We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon safari and had an incredible time! Aishwarya was really helpful and responsive in planning our itinerary, and the quality of everything throughout the trip was amazing. It genuinely felt like a 5-star experience.
Our guide, Zephania, was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to tailor the experience around what we wanted. We saw the Big Five and every animal we hoped to see! We’d definitely recommend Wakanda Tours, especially Zephania, for an amazing safari experience 😊
