Reviews
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.*

Wakanda Forever!
Our 4 day fly in fly out safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and full of joy.
We saw 4 of the big 5 in the first few hours of arriving in the Serengeti!! And all 5 by the end of the 3rd day! (The rhinos were hiding from us it seemed🤪).
Our guide Stanley was absolutely impeccable — his humour, patience, and professionalism, made every moment special. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and always having fun.
Stanley’s knowledge of the Serengeti was incredible — you can tell he’s not only passionate but also highly educated and trained in what he does. The depth of what he knew about every animal, bird, and even the plants was so impressive and made every day feel like a fascinating learning experience.
It was evident that his impressive knowledge stems from both formal training and years of dedicated experience within the Serengeti. His ability to share complex information in such an engaging, understandable way made the whole experience even more memorable.
The company itself was also outstanding. Serengeti Wakanda Tours were incredibly accommodating and supportive, even when we had a little mishap along the way - we left our medication in the mini fridge in the previous hotel and they had it flown out to the Serengeti to us on the next flight! Their organisation and care made us feel completely looked after throughout the trip.
I would highly recommend booking through wakanda - the booking process was seamless and Beatrice was brilliant with any changes we needed! Beatrice was also contactable throughout the whole booking process AND during the trip via WhatsApp which made you feel even more supported.
Make sure you spend a day in the Ngorongoro crater as well as the Serengeti.
I would also be so jealous of anyone who gets Stanley as their guide in the future! Truly a legend!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Stanley, Beatrice and the whole team for making our time in the Serengeti a truly magical experience! 🌿🐘🦁

Amazing Safari Experience
We had a great 6 day safari with Wakanda Tours all through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro.
The communication upfront w. the office was very easy and we had quick responses taking our questions and wishes into account.
Once arrived in Tansania, all went pretty flawless.
Special thanks also to our guide Stanley, driving the "extra mile" to make sure we saw all the animals we wanted - mission accomplished - and on top sharing a bit about country and culture.

Amazing tour operator
We had an absolutely amazing time on our 6-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours! From the moment we arrived in Tanzania to our departure, everything was managed flawlessly, and we had nothing to worry about. The whole trip was seamless, and we truly enjoyed every moment.
A special thanks to our guide, Witson! His experience and expertise made all the difference. He always knew where to find the best spots, taking us to beautiful, less crowded places where we could fully appreciate the wildlife. Witson’s knowledge of the animals and local culture was impressive, and we learned so much during our time together.
We were lucky enough to witness the dramatic river crossings in North Serengeti, and to top it off, we even spotted black rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater! We were able to see all of the Big 5, and it was an unforgettable experience.
The food and accommodations were excellent, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Ymke, our Serengeti Wakanda Tours coordinator truly took care of everything, and crafted us a memorable and stress-free holiday.
We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience. Thank you for making our adventure so special!
