Impeccable service!
5/5

A "budget safari" with a quality of service above expectations: Comfortable vehicle, very professional guide, excellent cook (chef level), all really included in the price, accommodation in simple but very comfortable lodges and camping in N gorongoro in good quality igloo type tents (comfortable, really waterproof, etc.).

Highly recommended

Amazing Experience
5/5

We did the 4 day lodge safari with two adults and a child.

Bartho was well organized and communicative from our initial inquiry through to the end.

He gave us a detailed itinerary so we knew exactly what to expect, and was flexible with some last minute changes we needed to make. The whole process was very smooth and it was easy to stay in contact with him.

Our guide Felix was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals we saw during game drives, and also shared lots of information about local customs, history and language. He had a great eye for spotting far off animals. He was happy to go at our pace and we never felt rushed.

Despite the bumpy roads we felt safe and comfortable with him driving.

Lodging was very comfortable, clean, safe and had good service. Each had wifi connection in the central lounge and dining area, and hot showers. Some lodges had buffet style and had set menu, but were able to accommodate our request for vegetarian meal.

Food for lunchss were packed each day by the previous nights accommodation. There was a variety of food to choose from and always more than enough.

Over all excellent experience and good value for money.

BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL! We wouldn't have wished for someone better than Elia to be our safari guide!
5/5

Everything about Serengeti Wakanda Tours was beyond amazing. Before we go on the safari itself, Bartho was available to answer all our questions (and we had a lot). It was NYE and he still made time for us. One of us has a phobia of insects & geckos and when explained this to Bartho, he made sure that our rooms in the lodge were extra clean, and they were!
On the safari itself, we had the awesomest tour guide EVER, Elia! Elia was super friendly and helpful all throughout. He is very knowledgeable and always gave us this interesting trivia about the animals in the park. He also has a very artistic eye for the best photos! He's very kind and so much fun; he always played for us our favorite African songs and we sang and danced together. As for the game drives, Elia always made sure that we're up and ready in the car on time to see everything we wanted to see; and honestly speaking, he exceeded our expectations every single day.
We must also tell you about Doula, our safari cook. Everyday we had fresh and tasty food AND dessert. Even on days where we slept in tents in a campsite, we also had tasty and hot food cooked with passion, along with Doula's infamous FRESHLY BAKED BREAD! People around us with other safari companies had packed sandwiches while we had a daily feast, 3 meals a day.
So to conclude, we saw elephants, zebras, cheetahs, wild beasts, buffalo, leopards, hyenas, antelopes, hippos, and LIONS... and it was absolutely glorious... but we wouldn't have had this amazing experience without Serengeti Wakanda. So THANK YOU, Bartho, Elia, and Doula! You are awesome and your passion is beautiful :-)
We will see you soon x
Your African friends,
Moni, Gasser, Yara, Yasmine

Once in a lifetime safari - Wakanda Forever!
5/5

5 of us had the best experience possible for our 4 day safari with Wakanda Tours.

From the beginning, Bartho the owner was very responsive over whatsapp, giving us many options to choose from and answering all questions quickly. Obviously with Covid it is difficult to commit to a big trip like this and Bartho totally understood, offering free cancellation should it be needed.

The trip itself was phenomenal. Our guide Andrew was an absolute dream. The son of a Serengeti Park ranger his passion for the wildlife and knowledge of all the parks we visited was unbelievable. Thanks to him we completed the big 5 and saw no less than 4 leopards, one from about 3 metres away - truly magical stuff! Everyone's safari will be different in what you see but with a guide like Andrew you have the best chance possible of seeing everything you dreamed of.

The food from our chef Dullah was of a crazy high standard for the tools he had available. Cooking from an open fire and bbq he produced breakfast, lunch and dinner to the standard of a resort hotel.

Dont hesitate to get in touch with Bartho and he will answer any questions you have. All I can say is you would be crazy not to book with yhese guys!

Incredible Safari with great people and great food
5/5

We were a group of 5 doing a 4 day safari. Our tour guide (Andrew) was lovely and very knowledgeable. We had the most amazing 4 days and saw more than we could have expected! Our chef (Dullah) cooked us delicious, local food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Big portions - definitely never went hungry! We had lots of wine and beers too. Highly recommend!

5/5

The service in wakanda safaris and tours is very succesful and they are attentive to everything. They are maneuverable when we want to change hotels for any reason and also it depends of the money that you want to spend but they have a good prices. Finally, we saw a lot of animales and a very good moments that we are not going to forget.

Barto is a very professional manager, he cared about every detail and even adapted to our timing.
5/5

It was an amazing experience, our guide Noel is simply the best, he made this experience unique as he cared about every detail, even at the camping at ngorongoro I felt like at home, it was very comfortable. The meals were amazing!!!! All the dishes were different every day thanks to the chef Dulah, I highly recommend Wakanda tours as they really want you to have a nice experience.

5 days of safari
5/5

Great experience! A very well run program. No problem, we saw the big five! With a French-speaking guide, who explained the country's culture, history, lifestyles, hunting and animal migration patterns.

A cook at our disposal and available!

Serious company
4/5

It’s a serious company. Almost everything worked as planned. The owner, Bartho, replies very quickly, showing they are trustful. The guide, Mike, was very nice. He even managed very well when one of the clients asked for something the guy that booked the tour for her had promised. The cooker was fantastic also. I wasn't expecting much of the food on the road, but had some delicious dinners, better than others i had in restaurants. That said, remember that a budget safari does not have any luxury, even the most common ones. The lodge we stay in is very basic, with no AC. The structure on camping sites are very disappointing. One of the campings does not have hot water in the shower. The other one has just 2 or 3 showers and then there is a long line to use them. And the toilet is indian style.
A small thing they could improve is that they have beer and wine on the road, but the beer is hot, so it is hard to drink. And during the dinner in the lodge, the beer is not included as advertised, we had to pay for it. But i definitely recommend this company!
