An unforgettable safari experience!
What an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was absolutely fantastic.
A very special mention must go to our guide, Israel. He was simply outstanding: friendly, kind, patient and extremely professional. His knowledge of the wildlife, the parks and the entire route was exceptional. He always seemed to know where to go and what to look for, and thanks to him we had some truly unforgettable wildlife encounters. He was also wonderful company throughout the trip. A 10 out of 10 guide!
The lodges and tented camps were equally impressive. Beautiful locations, fantastic accommodation and incredibly friendly and attentive staff everywhere we stayed. Sleeping in a tented lodge in the middle of the Serengeti, surrounded by wildebeest and listening to the sounds of the animals at night, was something we will never forget.
And the safari itself exceeded all our expectations: lions, four leopards, cheetahs, elephants, huge herds of wildebeest and zebras, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, hyenas and finally six rhinos in Ngorongoro, completing the Big Five!
Everything was perfectly organized and we felt very well looked after throughout the entire journey.
An absolutely unforgettable trip and an experience we would recommend without hesitation. Thank you Israel and the whole team for making it so special!

Lucky to have Andrew as our guide on our first Safari
We had the most amazing time with Serengeti Wakanda thanks to our guide Andrew and Gwen, who organised the tour. We were picked up at the airport and taken care of until we left Arusha 6 days later. Our guide Andrew not only seems to know everything about the animals in Tanzania, he was also professional, on time and fun. And he was an amazing driver who spotted even the best hidden animals (we saw two leopards, three cheetahs and two serval cats, just to name a few). He claimed we were super lucky to spot those, while we strongly believe that we were more lucky to have him as our guide. The price was fairly high and worth every dollar we paid.
We found room for improvement only in the serving sizes. We were just given too much food every day, no matter what we tried.

The Perfect First Safari Experience
Our safari was an absolutely incredible 6-day experience from beginning to end! As my very first safari, it exceeded every expectation I had. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and so many other amazing animals along the way.
A special thank you to Gerald, our guide, who was absolutely outstanding! Finding as many big cats as possible was my biggest wish for this trip, and he went above and beyond to help make that happen. His knowledge, dedication, and ability to spot wildlife made the experience even more special.
All of the accommodations were a huge hit! Every place we stayed was wonderful, and the staff everywhere were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed.
I also want to give a special thank you to Beatrice, who helped me put the entire itinerary together. She took the time to understand my wishes, preferences, and needs, and personalized everything to make sure the trip was exactly what I had dreamed of.
From the planning to the actual safari, everything was fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better first safari experience. I would do it all over again a thousand times, and I already know this won’t be my last safari!
Thank you for making these six days so unforgettable! ❤️

Our First Safari in Tanzania. An Unforgettable Experience!
We chose Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris for our very first safari in Tanzania, booking their 7-day package from September 12th to 18th.
Our itinerary allowed us to explore Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the very beginning, we received a warm welcome from both the Wakanda team and the accommodations where we stayed.
Our package included two nights in lodge/hotel-style accommodation and three nights camping, two in the Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro. The camping experience turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip, especially considering that it was our very first time camping!
Throughout the safari, we were accompanied by Paulo, our guide, together with Sulle, our personal cook.
Paulo was simply outstanding. He guided us more like a friend welcoming us into his own home than just a tour guide, making us feel comfortable from day one and helping us appreciate every moment even more. He shared his knowledge and passion for wildlife, telling us interesting facts about all kinds of animals, including lesser-known species that often receive less attention than the famous Big Five.
One of the things we appreciated most was his approach to the safari: always taking our time, without rushing from one sighting to another just to tick off as many animals as possible. He always gave us the opportunity to observe, enjoy every moment and, of course, take photographs at our own pace. He was also incredibly attentive when positioning the vehicle, always looking for the best angles and viewpoints to help us capture the animals in the best possible way.
The safari vehicle was also extremely comfortable and spacious, allowing us to bring all our luggage along without any problems. Thanks to Paulo's great company and friendly personality, even the longer drives never felt tiring or boring.
A special mention also goes to Sulle, who treated us to delicious traditional Tanzanian meals every day. The food was always varied, plentiful and genuinely excellent. We really enjoyed every meal, and his presence was another wonderful part of the experience.
Camping was a real revelation! Sleeping in the heart of the savannah, far away from everything, surrounded by the wilderness and beneath an incredible star-filled sky, gave us a unique feeling of connection with nature that is difficult to put into words.
The whole trip went far beyond our expectations, thanks to the professionalism and kindness of the entire team, as well as the good fortune of encountering an incredible number of animals, including some rather rare and difficult-to-spot species.
Our only small regret was not being able to reach the northern part of the Serengeti to witness the Great Migration, as the distances would have been too great given the time available. But, after all, we now have the perfect excuse to come back to Tanzania!
A huge thank you to the entire Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris team and, above all, to Paulo and Sulle, who helped make this journey such a special experience that we will always carry with us.
Asante sana!

well-organized, personalized safari in Tanzania with beautiful accommodations
We had an absolutely amazing experience on our tailor-made 8-day safari through four of Tanzania’s national parks as a couple. The parks were breathtaking, and the entire trip was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
The organization was excellent, both during the booking process and throughout the safari itself. Communication was clear, reliable, and professional, and the accommodations were beautiful and above average, making each evening a wonderful way to end the day. Our safari vehicle was also in excellent condition and very comfortable.
A special thank you goes to our guide, Filex, who truly made this trip exceptional. He listened to our wishes and drove safely at all times. His knowledge and incredible eye for wildlife allowed us to spot so many animals that we would almost certainly have missed on our own. Filex was friendly, professional, and approachable. He found the perfect balance between sharing his knowledge and giving us space to enjoy the experience in peace.
If you are looking for a well-organized, personalized safari in Tanzania with beautiful accommodations, excellent service, and a knowledgeable guide, you will be in very good hands. We would book with them again without hesitation.

An unforgettable safari with an exceptional guide!
We had a wonderful experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tour and Safari. Everything was very well organised, but the highlight was our guide, Zepha! His knowledge of the parks took us off the beaten track, giving us incredible wildlife encounters, often with no other vehicles around. His fascinating explanations about the wildlife and plants across all three parks made the experience even more special. A huge thank you to Zepha for making this such a memorable trip!

The time of our lives!
We couldn’t recommend Serengeti Wakanda more if you’re looking to book a safari in Tanzania.
Firstly, a thank you to Aishwarya who was our first point of contact when enquiring about our trip. From the planning stage, Aishwarya was so helpful in tailoring our tour to suit us. She went above and beyond to create the perfect itinerary for us. She was always incredibly helpful, responding almost instantly to any questions we had. She kept in touch with us throughout the safari, messaging to check that everything was going well and keeping us updated with pick-up times etc. So a big thank you to Aishwarya!
Secondly, Jeremiah. Our absolute legend of a safari guide. He was just brilliant and made our safari even more special. He was like a walking encyclopaedia when it came to the animals and wildlife, and there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer! We learnt sooo much from him. We had so much fun together and laughed a lot along the way. He is so so passionate about what he does, and it really showed. We were lucky enough to see an incredible amount of wildlife thanks to Jeremiah, and he knew all the places to get us the best sightings. He even made sure he positioned the jeep at the right angles so I could get some amazing photos. By the end of our time together, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend rather than our guide. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to share our safari experience with! Every safari operator needs a Jeremiah, and Serengeti Wakanda are lucky to have him.
For the length of our tour and what was included, we were really impressed with the price. The booking of our internal flights were took care of, all accommodation and transfers were arranged, and we were supplied with drinks throughout the safari. We were also surprised with some gifts which was a really lovely touch!
To sum up, we would 1000000% book with Serengeti Wakanda again, and wouldn’t even consider using another company if we ever came to booking a similar trip in the future. Thank you Serengeti Wakanda, we had the best time ever!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Beyond All Expectations! ❤️🇹🇿
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris for an absolutely incredible safari filled with breathtaking moments, unforgettable experiences, and memories that will stay with us forever!
A very special thank you goes to our amazing safari guide, Julius! He was incredibly kind, helpful, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our experience truly special. Thanks to his knowledge, experience, and wonderful personality, we enjoyed every single moment of our safari. You can genuinely see how passionate he is about his work, and having him as our guide made the entire adventure even more memorable.
We would also like to say a huge thank you to the entire team at LaLa Salama Luxury Camp. What an absolutely magical place! The accommodation was beautiful, surrounded by breathtaking wilderness, with a truly unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The staff were exceptional – so warm, welcoming, and attentive that they would do absolutely anything to make us happy and comfortable.
One of the most incredible experiences was hearing lions and hyenas in the wild every single night. Falling asleep to the sounds of the African wilderness was something truly extraordinary that we will never forget! And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every meal was fantastic.
Last but certainly not least, our biggest thanks go to Goodluck, who organized our entire safari.
His dedication, professionalism, and willingness to help were simply outstanding! Unfortunately, our trip started with unexpected complications caused by a delayed international flight, which seriously affected our original travel plans.
However, Goodluck handled everything incredibly quickly and efficiently. He was always responsive, patient, and determined to find the best possible solution. Thanks to his efforts, he managed to reorganize our entire safari so that we wouldn’t miss out on the incredible experiences we had been looking forward to.
We truly cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us!
We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic African safari adventure.
What makes this company so special is not only the breathtaking wildlife and beautiful landscapes, but above all, the amazing people who genuinely care about making your experience unforgettable.
Thank you to Julius, Goodluck, the wonderful LaLa Salama Luxury Camp team, and everyone at Wakanda for giving us one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences of our lives! ❤️
We will never forget you, and we hope to return one day!
Asante sana! (Thank you!) 🇹🇿❤️

The best safari experience I could ever imagine
We had the best safari experience and the best guide we could ever dream of. Alex was always making sure that we had an unforgettable experience, and he went far beyond expectations.
He always made the best decisions about the places to go to find animals and amazing driving to always place you in the best possible positions to see animals and share all the knowledge he has about wildlife. He is also specially skilful at finding animals that were hiding in plain sight and he knows what the animals’ next movement is to get your camera ready for the photo. He is everything you want for your safari guide. He really made our safari a lifelong memory.
Missing Alex already!
