Closeness and profesionalism.
I traveled to Tanzania in September 2021 with my girlfriend and two friends. We booked a 6 day private safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours.
First of all at the time of payment we had problems with our bank, so we asked Bartho (the president of the company) if it was possible to pay in cash and if we could do it two days before starting the safari (since didnt want to go with so much cash the days before in Arusha). Bartho had no problem and came to our hotel, where he also explained our itinerary and more practical things about Arusha.
On the first day we met Malissa and Sule, our guide and cook respectively. Regarding the food, the truth is that our expectations were easy meals as sandwiches, but Sule surprised us even in the most remote part of the Serengeti with three or four different dishes that mixed international food with a local dish. During the safari we stayed in a humble hotel (but with a swimming pool) the first and last night and the rest of the days in tents (sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti or the Ngorongoro is quite an experience).
Malissa's ability to identify animals from afar and get closer to the most optimal place to see them more closely and the knowledge of infinite data of each of the animals we saw is something to highlight. In addition, his pleasant treatment and his closeness (also that of Sule) made us feel among friends throughout the safari.
In short, we have all been delighted with the safari and I recommend to everyone who wants to live this experience, to choose Serengeti Wakanda Tours.

The Trip of a Lifetime! Best owner, guide, cook combo in the Serengeti!
Words cannot describe how amazing my trip was, in no small part due to the tremendous service and care provided by Serengeti Wakanda. The owner, Bartho, was basically like my travel agent. Helping me with so many small questions. Getting back to me quickly. Never making me full rushed. Truly I would not have been able to plan the trip, let alone enjoy the trip, without him.
Now... the trip itself... absolutely unforgettable. I went on a 5-day budget safari. 1 day in Tarangire , 3 days in Serengeti National Park, and 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater. We stayed at a lodge the first night and camped the other three nights. Our driver/guide, Andrew, was a rock star. He's basically an encyclopedia of animal knowledge and he could spot animals with his bare eyes better than we could with binoculars. Our cook, Dullah, was awesome, too. Such good food. So fresh. It was a pleasure to share three meals a day with my trip mates.
I went by myself and felt totally comfortable. I was with three other solo travelers and a couple. We got along great. Each day was well planned. Andrew did a good job of keeping us on track but also being flexible when we were behind or got interested in something else. He knows the Serengeti like the back of his hand. We saw the Big 5 and pretty much every other animals you could imagine. So many lions. Sleeping, hunting, eating. Herds of elephants and buffalo. Giraffes, hippos, crocodile, the list goes on.
Random notes:
-I went in September (dry season) and found it to be comfortable. Not too hot during the day (80) and not too cold at night (60).
-You'll need to book a hotel to bookend your trip. The tour operator helped me find a decent hotel and arranged transportation. I didn't have to do any of that on my own which was a relief.
-There was Wi-Fi and a power strip in the safari jeep and they provided plenty of water.
All in all it was the trip of a lifetime; one I will never forget. Thank you so much to Serengeti Wakanda for taking care of me completely. They get my highest recommendation. 100%

Amazing, great experience worth every dime !!!
Honestly I couldn't have asked for any thing better. The guide was very knowledgeable and thanks to him we were able to spot all the animals we wanted including the elusive black rhino!! The food was also great and having 3 hot courses a day in safari is amazing. Don't hesitate to book with them they are great.

Well organized, trustworthy, and awesome Organisation. 10/10
The Safari was absolutely amazing!!!
If we would have to rate it it would be a 10/10. The Food was amazing, which suprised us as there is no real kitchen available. So Dennis did an amazing job!!! Also, Andrew was the best Guide one could ask for. He gave us precise information about the animals which I loved. He could answer any questions we may had (I had a lot of questions haha). Also his personality is very refreshing as he is funny, smart and a very nice guy. So he was just amazing!! So thank you Andrew for making this experience unforgettable. Also the low price was a big bonus point, especially because we didn't miss on anything.
All in all we could not have asked for a better Safari, even if we didn’t get to see the big 5 (we will come back for that). So thank you for this nice trip and you can be happy to have such a nice staff. ☺️

Great tour
We had a great experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. We did the budget safari and everything was perfectly arranged. We had great contact with Bartho before the safari, we could ask him anything and he was always quick to respond. Our guide Malissa was amazing and went out of his way to show us everything we asked to see and more. Our cook Doula made sure we had an amazing three course meal every night. Where other safaritours had standard lunch packages we always had a warm meal for lunch with the choice of different dishes. The lodges we stayed in were pretty basic but okay. The one in Serengeti was our favourite as it was in the middle of the park and giraffes would great us at breakfast. Overall it was definitely worth the money!

he is very polite and explains the tour very well, which really took place.
It was a wonderful safari that I will not forget. The guide was super friendly and helpful and was able to explain every detail about the animals and plants to us .We saw all animals except the leopard. He tried very hard and was very patient
We had a great cook, while other travelers had french fries and chicken, we could enjoy a three-course menu that was always so delicious and that you needed after such a day trip. he was a pleasure. it was a great team, thanks for the great time, we'll be back.

Amazing Trip! The cook was a hero, so delicous! It‘s good organized! I had a really nice time!Asante
The tour was profitable compared to the service and the price. We were camping, all camping things are organized by the crew. The guide was very funny and always in a good mood and he had a lot of knowledge about safari topics. The cook served us several courses every day, fresh homemade bread rolls were standard with almost every dish. Simply a great experience!

Unforgettable 4 days safari !
We chose to do a 4 days safari to see all 3 natural parcs (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), and we trusted Wakanda Serengeti to organize it for us. By far the best decision we made !!
Let me tell you why:
Bartho, your first contact and the organizator, understood our wants and needs and offered us the best solution, always with a smile :)
We had the best time with our guide Andrew and our cook Dullah ! Andrew speaks great French and is an awesome guide ! Funny, charming, nice and most importantly he spots animals anywhere and makes sure we have time to admire everything.
Dullah is an amazing cook, very nice and really accommodating (he made sure to prepare some food especially for our vegetarian friend).
We slept in tents inside the parcs, very comfortably and safely. Even though we were on the road all day, our meals were always warm and beautiful. Table cloth, cutlery, several dishes, it was a feast everyday in the middle of dirt road and breathtaking landscapes !
As for the landscapes and the animals, there are no words …
Just an overall incredible experience
