Amazing safari experience!
5/5

I can strongly recommend serengeti wakanda to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Tanzania!

I did a 5 day safari including Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was perfect. Bartho was very helpful organizing the safari for us, Andrew was the best guide ever and Dullah made us amazing food every day.

We saw all the animals, beautiful nature and stunning sunrises. Accomandation was great and felt safe.

Asante sana to the whole team! x

Great value and hassle-free experience
5/5

I’ve been dreaming of going on a safari forever and this trip exceeded my expectations! Went on a 5 day safari to 4 parks, so was able to see all that the region has to offer. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals and their whereabouts so we saw the big 5 and others in abundance. We had a cook with us who was very talented and the fresh meals were very large and much more appealing than the box lunches other groups had. Relaxing with a few beers around the campfire after a long day in the car was also very fun and unique to this tour. Bartho was very responsive and accommodating, which made this last minute trip for me possible. Being picked up from the airport and having lodging included before and after the trip was very convenient. Overall this trip was fantastic and I’m very glad I booked with Serengeti Wakanda!

Amazing experience!
5/5

We embarked on a 7 day safari tour with Serengeti Wakanda and our guide Bashir. The experience had been nothing short of amazing.

From the start, the communication and booking process with Aishwarya had been very smooth. Not only her email response was quick, but she also provided valuable advice and recommendation to customise our itinerary.

We spent 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in Ndutu, 2 days in Serengeti National Park, and 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area.

All the game drives were packed with actions, and this would not be possible without our guide Bashir. He had immense passion for the wildlife and a great sense of humour. He was very knowledgeable about everything we saw, and had unreal skill of spotting animals, large or small. He was very experienced at positioning the jeep so we would have the best angles to take photos but not so close that would disturb the animals. In the end, we succeeded at seeing all the Big 5 and many many more. We could not have asked for a better person to go on a 7 day trip with.

For accommodation, we stayed at Farm of Dreams Lodge, Camp Zebra, Into Wild Africa Luxury Tented Camp, and Ngorongoro Merera Mountain View Lodge. All the staff members were very welcoming and helpful. Special mention for Into Wild Africa - overall best accommodation of the trip.

Going on a safari tour would be an once in a lifetime adventure for most people, and we cannot recommend highly enough for Serengeti Wakanda and our guide Bashir.

Absolutely incredible dream trip
5/5

We booked our safari directly with Serengeti Wakanda after reading such amazing reviews online!

Right from our first enquiry email Aishwarya was so professional, responsive and quick to send us information and a proposed itinerary. Then a couple of months before our trip we got an email saying that due to the migration patterns and the weather they’d like to adjust our itinerary a little to give us the best chance of seeing animals, obviously they are the experts so we went with their changes happily, and really appreciated that change as we would never have known if not for them!

We were in regular contact with Aishwarya via WhatsApp leading up to our trip she was absolutely amazing at replying super quickly and answering all our questions.

Everything was taken care of. We were picked up and taken to our Arusha hotel and then briefed for our safari. The following morning we begun our safari!

We’re a couple and our Safari guide was Andrew, and Aishwarya also accompanied us as photographer.

The vehicle was great for us, it was comfy and plenty of drinks available. We had picnic lunch on the first day cooked by the Serengeti Wakanda chef :) very yummy! The rest of the time we were well fed at all the lodges, and had packed lunches by which ever lodge we were staying at.

We felt so lucky to have Andrew as our guide, he went to the next level to give us a unique experience. He knows exactly how to find the animals, what behaviour the animal is going to do and how to position the vehicle for the best angles to see them and take photos. He was so skilful at driving, we experienced more rain than normal for this time of year and so some roads were quite muddy, we were always safe with Andrew’s driving. He was so patient and knowledgeable and you can tell he’s so passionate about his job.

Aisha took some amazing photographs of both of us, and she’s a very talented photographer of all the animals too, some of the shots she got could totally be in National geographic! We wish you all the success in the future with your photography dreams, and hope your shots go viral many more times!!

Andrew and Aisha are so friendly, great stories and such interesting conversations, we learnt so much and they went out of their way to make our experience as special as possible. We now have some amazing memories that wouldn’t have been possible with out them! They are THE dream team!

We will never forget our time with you, we hope to come back as we know there is so much more to see! Thank you so much for everything - you guys are awesome.

Amazing personality, huge passion for animals, and a vast knowledge on wildlife
5/5

It is hard to find the words to describe how amazing our safari tour was. It all started from the moment we met our guide Simon. Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris did not only provide us a guide, but also a friend! Simon has a wonderful personality and a huge passion for animals! His positive energy and sense of humor made our trip memorable! He placed so much effort in ensuring that we always had the best possible location and view on all animal species. Whenever he would hear over the radio that there is a particular species or a pack of animals at a certain location, he would rush to that place to make sure we don’t miss the opportunity to see it! As a result, we did not only succeed to see all of the big 5, but made amazing photos thanks to Simon! In case an animal was far away, he did his best to make pictures look like it was just in front of us. His knowledge and experience provided so much context and understanding of the national resorts, animal behaviour, and laws of wildlife. He gave the answer to any question we had during our ride. We very much recommend you to request Simon to be your guide!
In addition to Simon, we also experienced a great organisation and support by the whole Serengeti Wakanda team! They ensured that we have the best accommodation, service, and overall experience! In case you haven’t made your choice, we highly recommend to pursue your upcoming safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda and Simon as your tour guide!

Incredible safari experiences with wakanda tours
5/5

I had really great experience with guide/driver Bashir and chef Dulla.
Bashir is the best driver in the world. Drive very very safety. Dulla is world best chef. I worried about the food in safari, but I am getting fat because of Dulla's delicious foods. I will miss them.
The tour was so full scheduled and people are so kind. We have no troubles in Tanzania at all.
Later when I come to safari again, I will find wakanda, who has Bashir and Dulla. Many thanks to you.

I recommend it to Koreans. They are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. He is especially sincere when it comes to food. Highly recommended!

Incredible safari experience with our guide Andrew from Wakanda Safari tour
5/5

This has been the most, or at least one of the most extraordinary experience my girlfriend and I ever had.

Our guide, Andrew was incredible throughout this trip and made sure we had the best time possible. He knows the parcs and especially the serengeti by heart, is very knowledgeable about the parcs and the animals and always have very interesting stories. He is also extremely gifted to see animals we'd have missed without him. 1000 thanks to him.

Don't hesitate to ask for him personally for the best experience possible! (And if you want a french speaking guide).

Thank you Andrew and Wakanda Safari tour !

Best Serengeti Safari
5/5

Best Safari ever! We went on a 5 day 4 night budget camp safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours, and even tough it was classed as budget, it did not feel like a budget option for a second. Starting with Bartho and the excellent customer service he provided, answering every email we sent and arranging it all, he even collected us at the airport. When we had a spare day in Arusha, he arranged a great trip to the Mataruni Waterfall.
All the gear, new tents and cars provided by Wakanda were in excellent condition. We had a great guide, Eliya, who was very knowledgeable, kind and a great driver. There was a professional photographer with us, and Aisha captured great moments of us on the trip.
The best was our personal chef Dullah who made us 3 cooked meals a day … the only words for that was Wow! And thank you.
We saw the big 5, spent hours in the bush amongst the animals, had epic sunrises and sunsets and loved every second of our safari. I would highly recommend this company. They are truly the best.

5 Day Camping Safari Wakanda
5/5

We did the 5 day safari going to Tarangire -Lake Manyara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater worh Wakanda and it was the perfect decision! Communication with Bartho was very good before, during and after the trip! Pn our safari we had Felix as our guide and Majete as a chef. Both did an outstanding job and created memories for life.

We felt very safe thoughout the whole safari and were taken care of greatly the whole time. Felix is a very experienced guide who successfully drove us through different national parks. He could "smell" the animals and managed to show us more species of animals than expected (e.g Big 5, Ugly 5 and cheetahs).

Majete was our chef on the trip on treated us and especially our stomachs very well! The food was an exceptional mix between local and western dishes.

Both of them were great to talk to and created and a very nice atmosphere through their sense of humour and warm welcoming personality.

Thank you again and we can highly recommend to go with Wakanda on a unforgettable safari adventure.
