Amazing agency, could not have been better
We found Wakanda Tours & Safaris on tripadvisor where they were recommended because of their tent safaris. We contacted them directly and Bartho the owner tailored our private tour (Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and adapted it to our travel itinary. We selected a 5 days Safari tour, but instead of a camping Safari we chose a loge and tented lodge safari. We decided to book with Wakanda because we liked their offer and what was included, we also liked that Bartho answered all our questions quickly and we wanted to book with a local agency. We never regretted our choice. The Safari was amazing and such an unforgettable time. We got great service upon arrival until we left for Sansibar. We were picked up at the airport and spent our first night in Arusha in a nice hotel. In the afternoon we visited Arusha. The next day we were picked up by our guide Elia . Elia is a very nice and funny guy. He is extremly knowledgable about animals and the nature. He was extremly attentive and tried to fulfill all our wishes. We saw everything we could wish for. Also we learned a lot about the people in Tanzania and the culture. Elia is also a very good driver, which helped us a lot when the street at the Ngorongoro carter was nearly blocked, muddy and slippery.
Wakanda encourages the logdges to cook fresh food for the lunch. We took them out in pots which Elia brought with him from Arusha. The food was always very good and due to the pots we did not have any waste.
We had unforgettable days with Elia.
In general, we were impressed about the very good service we experienced in every lodge and the good food. Also the cleanliness about of bathrooms in Tanzania in general.
At the end of the Safari Bartho took the time to meet us and ask us about our Safari experience.
Our experience could not have been better. One day we will go back to Tanzania and we will defenitely book again with Wakanda Tours & Safaris.

Best Experience!!!
We had the absolute best time doing our Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris.
The entire team is just very helpful and ALWAYS making the biggest effort to make your experience as special and perfect as it can get.
Most likely you will get in touch with Bartho first, when booking the trip. He is the owner of the company and highly professional and helpful with what ever questions or concerns you might have.
The safari itself was just amazing.
The safari jeep is very comfortable (LOVED THE PILLOWS!), we got provided with the BEST FOOD (see the other reviews - it’s all true - varied, fresh, extremely tasty meals 3 times a day), soft drinks, water, beer and wine. We got to see the big 5 and many other incredible animals and nature.
We were like a big family while our 3 days safari, made new friends and left with a light heart full of great memories that will last for a lifetime.
So if you’re trying to decide for one of the many tour operators in Arusha - I highly recommend choosing this one! You won’t regret! They are amazing

How to describe perfect?
Been dreaming about a safari since i saw david attenborough's documentaries as a child. Would have been happy if i had seen a lion, or a giraffe in the wild. Our amazing guide literally showed us hundreds of elephants, giraffes. And without exagurating, millions of other animals. He even delivered on the big five. Saw no less than 7 different rhino's

perfect organisation, nice team, great guide & great food!
we were a group of five: one couple, two friends and one lady.
it was a five day safari (three days in serengeti, one in ngorongoro and one in tarangire national park).
andrew, our guide did a great job. he managed to see the big five. as we went during the migration of zebras and wildebeests, we saw thousands of those!
abdullah, the chef, managed great food. we always had three-courses, for lunch, as well as for dinner.

Enchanting Safari - Asante Sana
Thanks to an exceptional team Bartho , Andrew and Abdullah for creating a magical tour for us to remember rest of our life.
Right from start Bartho ensured we are listened to , our special requirements catered to.
What a fantastic team Bartho put for us : Andrew the Driver Guide and Abdullah the sous Chef
They had made the experience great whether rain or sunshine
Andrew a passionate guide takes all effort to make sure we get to see all animals including birds. His driving skills so far is awe for us , But safety is his paramount. Amazing to hear the insights of animal behaviours, magical sunrise Safari , Serengeti is networked into his amygdala with knowledge of where to spot the animals , which for us was oblivious, his engagement with the passengers teaching Swahili - tons of energy . Best the vehicle is always clean and fresh in the morning.
Giving plenty of spots to take wonderful photos and ensuring we are always catered to
Abdullah a meditative soul is the top chef in the camp makes the menu taste like a posh restaurant . Attention to detail and catering to each passengers preference. his novel way of baking fresh bread during the Safari using basic amenities amazing just using a temp coal fire and an old tin luggage has to be seen and experienced allowing us to engage in the preparation with the mantra
WE ARE A TEAM WE ARE A FAMILY
The Safari starts with a good introduction at Tarangire moving to the adventure at Serengeti and engaging in spotting rhinos at Ngorogoro. The Lake Manyara was ironically not great snd could be dropped.
The limitation of Serengeti tickets could be explained earlier so the Safari could be planned accordingly. As we observed all Safari loose time due to this and the long drives
The campsite experience is magical with elephants grazing , lions growling and Hyneas laughing matching the frequency of guests snoring. If you have energy zip out of the tent take a toilet break and count the stars. You might encounter a zebra or elephant outside waiting to greet you.
The fig tree lodges is comfortable settled in the village so you are woken up by prayer calls. The staff smile and serve showing us how important guests is for their livelihood.
Please contact Bartho and book your next Safari and ask for Andrew and Abdullah team
Wish this continues

The best
This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. We did a six day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara.
We had the best experience because of our guide and driver Andrew, who spotted so many animals and knew even more about them and our chef Dula who prepared three excellent and delicious meals per day.
Overall I rate safari in Tanzania 5/5, but Andrew and Dula Made it 10/5!

The most unforgettable experience
My friends and I had booked a four day Safari via Serengeti Wakanda in the course of which we visited the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
I can say without a doubt that all our expectations were not only met but most definitely exceeded.
First of all the entire tour was perfectly organized down to the last detail.
Our tour guide Andrew was the most competent and welcoming guy who provided us with a lot of useful information about the nature and the animals in the parks. Regardless of how detailed our questions were he was never at a loss of answers and made a great effort to allow us an experience of the animals at close quarters.
Dullah, our private chef, didn’t surprise us any less with his first- rate freshly cooked meals. The jealous looks to our plates from other tourists confirmed that it wasn’t only our group who thought that Dullahs meals were the most appetizing ones.
Worth of mentioning is also that Serengeti Wakanda definitely has the most attractive price/ performance ratio.
By any account we had an unforgettable time and we warmly recommend the tour to all of you.

The Epitome of Quality over Quantity.
I went on a 5 day Serengeti camping safari during the last week of January 2022. It took me a while to pick a Safari company but finally settled on Serengeti Wakanda. They had good reviews and I figured the value was great compared to the other Safaris I had been seeing so I thought to myself, Eh, What the hell. Why Not. I reached out to Wakanda and was instantly impressed. First off, Let's talk about the owner; Bartho. He reached out to me personally and answered any and all question I shot his way, and there were quite a few. He is an awesome guy, professional, fun, polite. Overall. 5 Star dude. He even took it upon himself to set up a meeting with me after my Safari had concluded as he wanted to meet me personally, I'm not sure if that's because I was special or because he takes it upon himself to meet everyone his company takes out. Either way, it was great.
If I could describe my entire experience out on my Safari in one word, it would be Perfect. I must say however, that most of the reasons it was perfect was because of variables that would be different for everyone who goes out. The luck we had with the animals, the group of people I was randomly put with on my Safari, The driver and cook we got randomly paired with, the fact I was lucky enough to have my itinerary modified for an extra day on the Serengeti, the weather, and many other facts that all came together to make the Experience perfect. These are all variables that differ from time to time, The one constant that I can identify that helped make the trip as good as it was, is the company itself: Serengeti Wakanda. When I was out on the Safari, we spoke with a few other Safaris we ended up camping alongside. Every single time I spoke with other people I kinda looked away and the end of the conversation thanking the gods I randomly selected Wakanda. Some other companies cram more people than are comfortable in the vehicles, some companies have more roguish Safari behavior, other companies have a lot of up charges they don't mention, other companies don't get home cooked freshly made meals cooked by a personal safari chef 3 times a day, (they get small meal boxes) the list goes on and on of stories and things about issues other companies have that Wakanda just didn't. I got supremely lucky on my trip, but I owe most of it to Wakanda for allowing the luck to come to fruition. I would recommend this company to everyone and anyone looking to take a Safari. Bartho very heavily sticks to the Quality over Quantity formula and I hope to the gods that as his company inevitably continues to grow in both size and success, that he maintains that mentality.
