Memorable safari and beautiful people
Gonna start by saying that I can’t possibly imagine how this experience could have gone better - outstanding organization, communication, knowledge of…everything! (fauna, landscapes, history, culture etc.), great accommodation, exquisite food and, to top it all off, beautiful and kind people that took care of us every minute of the 8 days we were there.
I traveled with my sister and we were both equally impressed by this company which is truly a dream team:
The owner - In organizing the tour, Bartho was super responsive, patient and flexible with our multiple requests and last-minute changes to the route and accommodations (he even got us a WiFi modem in the car, just cause we’re weird tourist who can’t function without internet).
The guide - our guide was Malisa, which in all honesty is the best guide, person and presence we could have hoped for. Super friendly, funny, kind and amenable to all our desires (desires and needs that spanned 24-60+ age range, so pretty diverse ), but most importantly very knowledgeable and able to spot literally every animal. Seriously, the man has eagle eyes and some sort of superhuman skills, cause every time we wished for a particular animal, Malisa would take just minutes until finding us exactly what we wished for. Malisa also has profound knowledge and respect for nature/animals and the Tanzanian culture/tribes, which to us was quite impressive.
The chef – Dullah could probably move on and cook for a fancy restaurant - for future tourists of Serengeti Wakanda, I hope this doesn’t happen. All jokes aside, Dullah is a fantastic chef. The food he prepared was diverse, but equally tasty on any given day. The ingredients were fresh and he always provided options for all type of dietary preferences (regular/vegan/vegetarian/). Just as a bonus, Dullah is also a super nice and funny person.
Additional to the above, everything we needed was included: wine, beer, tents, sleeping bags, binoculars and the accommodations were exactly what we expected - the pictures Bartho sent us were 100% accurate.
All in all, we were quite impressed with Bartho and his team and definitely a fan and a promotor from hereon. Thank you so much for taking care of us and making this experience a unique and memorable one!

A perfect Safari with a lot of highlights
We were really happy with the safari together with Malisa, Dullah and also the organisator Bartho. Prior to the tour, Bartho was able to answer all our questions very fast, which made it very simple to prepare for the trip.
Arriving in Arusha, we got to know our guide Malisa, who was open-minded, friendly and flexible regarding all our desires. With his car, he could drive us close to a lot of animals, in a very comfortable way, knowing the most interesting places to get to see the big animals. Also, there was a lot of time to talk and laugh during conversations we will not forget.
The accomodations were fine since we were prepared for camping and the food during the whole trip was incredibly good thanks to the cook Dulah. He prepared not only nice lunch but also a three course menu in the evening. We were never hungry on the trip and always looking forward to the next dinner.
All together we would highly recommend this company to everyone ans didn’t miss anything.
In our case we were a group with ages reaching from 24 to 60+, which was totally fine for us. However we can imagine that others might have problems with that. Therefore we can recommend that groups are formed according to age.
All the best to Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris!

Best safari tours in Serengeti by far!
We were a group of 4 people (2 couples) and chose to do the 5 day safari. Before our trip, everything was clearly and we knew that the organization was going to be good. During our arrival and the safari, we were always greeted by awesome service starting with Bartho (the owner) and then by our guide (Zamo) and chef (Dennis) with whom we spent the most of our time with. The safari was an amazing experience thanks to them as we spotted all the animals we wanted to see and even more as we were lucky to see the big 5. Our guide Zamo was always conscious of the animals and the surroundings, always respecting them and their distance, something we didnt see in other tours. He made sure to give us time to spot animals, gave us relevant information and keep us entertained. He kept the car clean always and had small details which made our experience way better. Dennis cooked always great food that were not too heavy for tourists but always really tasty in flavor (we had prepared meals for lunch while other groups had sandwiches), he was always super attentive and in a great mood. Overall our experience was one of a kind thanks to them, definitely great value for the price. We could see other tours which had similar offerings, didnt have small details as us. I would recommend to anyone who wants to do a safari, for any budget as they will be able to accommodate to your needs.

Friendly, relaxed, customer oriented, professional and fun budget Safari
First of all, Zamo (our Tour Guide and driver) and Denis (our cook) were the BEST!! Among many offers we chose Wakanda because of a friend's recommendation and the included itinerary. We did 3 nights (one in the Fig Tree Lodge, which was very nice! And 2 nights in a tent - everything was provided by Wakanda). The first day we visited Tarangire Nationalpark which was beautiful with many many animals and a awesome landscape. Then we did Serengeti, which was huge and impressive and dry, where we saw many lions and hippos (and many more). And on the last day we saw the Ngorogoro crater, which was amazing as well with so many animals and where we were lucky to see all the big 5 animals. (The others additionally did the lake Manyara but it's the least spectacular one and we were quite happy to do 3 nights). In general we had the feeling that Zamo knew all the National parks very well and the secret spots. Also he was very respectful about the animals (in contrast to other cars who almost bothered the animals sometimes). Zamo explained us a lot, had a good sense of humor and after the four days we got to know him very well. He also told us a lot about Tansania and it's culture and lifestyle! He was just great! And Denis was for sure the best cook you can get! Extremely good food (from meat, to self made bread, fruits, pancakes, lasagne and so on)!! We also got hot meals for lunch AND dinner (in comparison to other groups who often just had a sandwich). And we had more than enough beer and wine. Moreover we were very lucky with our group because the other 4 persons were in our age and on the same vibe as us! It was very funny with them and this made these 4 days also special :)
To summarize: we can highly recommend Wakanda Tours (try to get Zamo and Denis!) but of course it always depends on the guide, on the group and on the luck of which animals you will see. We saw a lion passing right next to our car but we didn't see a hunt for example. And a valuable tip: take warm clothes, it gets very cold!! Thanks a lot to Bartho who organized everything and was always friendly and helpful and to Zamo and Denis, you are the best!! :)

Extraordinary trip with Serengeti Wakanda
The trip with Serengeti Wakanda has been wonderful !! Bartho, the boss, is friendly, responds quickly and always tries to find the best solution.
6 days of Safari is the perfect time to see a great variety of species and find yourself immersed in unique moments! We saw lions hunt, elephants approaching a pool of hippos, a leopard up close with its victim still in the tree! All thanks to our sublime guide Andrew! Always attentive to any movement and once the photos were finished, he explained each animal and several anecdotes!
Beyond that, both the car (comfortable, clean and with binoculars per person), the lodges (comfortable beds and very clean) and the food was second to none.
Our chef Dullah accompanied us throughout our tour and each day surprised us more than the previous one! They also take into account any special conditions, allergies, if you are a vegetarian ...
In conclusion, if you are thinking of doing a safari, do it with Serengeti wakanda and you will live a unique experience!

Beyond Perfect
Woooow, It was amazing, we started from Tarangire Park sleeping in a very good Lodge where our chef served the BEST food. Then we went to Serengeti park where we slept in another lodge and finally we finished sleeping a tent un Gorongoro Park, and lived the experience of sleeping next to the wild and peaceful animals that were around the campsite.
Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was cooked by our private chef who was with us during most of the trips and he also cooked it in the moment. The guide was very enthusiastic about the different animales, and knew every park very well, he explained a lot of curious things about the animals we encountered.
The price was very accurate taking into account everything, more than cheap regarding the awesome experience we had.
Everyone spoke so very good English and they were very talkative.
An experience that we are very sure that we will repeat and very soon, with SERENGETI WAKANDA!

Best experience of my life!
It has been an unforgettable trip. Planning the trip was easy thanks to Bartho. He sends you all the necessary information, helps you with all the procedures and is fast and pleasant.
6 days of Safari is the minimum time to be able to see all the animals and areas of the parks ... especially if you want to see the 'big 5' and see different places or more special moments: hunting, eating, animals nearby ...
Our guide, Andrew, was friendly, polite, and very knowledgeable. He explained everything to us with grace and sympathy. On the other hand, Chef Dullah was wonderful. The food that he prepared for us every day was varied and complete!
Without a doubt it has been one of the best trips of my life thanks to Serengeti Wakanda and all her staff!

Best experience EVER!
The 3 day Safari in Serengeti and NgoroNgoro was just perfect. The coordinafor Bartho since day 1 i made the enquiry he was super helpful. he picked me up at the airport and arrange every single detail for me. Our tour guide and driver, Andrew and the Cook Dhulla did a magnificent job.
Andrew's deep and profound knowledge of nature and animals its outstanding, beside the fact that he makes you feel like family. He let us know every single best-spotting-place for the animals and was very patient when it comes to wait just a bit more to see that animal!
On the other hand, Dhulla, the cook, made evry meal to perfection. All fresh ingredients, and nothing was pre cooked. He would be always in time for every meal and would brief us on the details of the menu.
Thank you Bartho, Andrew and Dhulla for making this experience a unique one and life-lasting one!
