AMAZING
Just had the most amazing trip with Serengeti Wakanda! Bartho was super efficient in the communication over WhatsApp and he’s always quick to reply. We signed up for the private lodge safari tour and the lodges arranged for us were amazing. Food was good too.. almost too much everyday. Andrew, our guide and driver was very knowledgeable and he drives super well. He knows Serengeti inside out and took routes that were not know to many drivers. He’s very good at spotting animals from far too. Kudos to him for the long driving hours everyday.

Phenomenal
We're an American family of five and we enjoyed every bit of our journey with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Best value for the money after researching several companies. The owner Bartho himself is your point of contact and met us before and after our safari. The evening before we were supposed to start, I got an allergy attack and Bartho himself went to a pharmacy late at night and bought me allergy meds that saved the trip for us. That alone makes Wakanda worth booking with for me. Our guide, Andrew, was phenomenal -- if you have kids, he's such a fantastic guide that you should ask for him by name. He's a cultural ambassador too and we all learned loads about Tanzania, its people, culture, the Maasai, and he became a family member. We discussed most of our trip details by WhatsApp but also had a call with Bartho to ask questions (it was our first time). We upgraded to a luxury tent at Ngorongoro and for us it was worth it. Bartho handled it. We also did a hot air balloon tour (a must if you can budget for it) and again Wakanda team coordinated. They were flexible, helpful, got us whatever we wanted. Cooking team was great, food was fantastic. We had a trip of a lifetime and expressed our appreciation with tips to the guide and cook (customary).

Don't look any further
If you're looking for a company to use for our Serengeti safari look no further. First of all - they are a locally owned and run company which means all profits stay in country which was important to us #shoplocal. Bartho was who we initially dealt with via WhatsApp. He answered all of my questions in a very timely manner and gave us all the info we needed. Also - tailored the trip to meet exactly what we were looking for. Then Felix - our guide - is UNREAL. He is calm, organized and you can tell he loves what he does. He knows the animals and the parks so well. We saw all the big 5 numerous times and he even found us the illustrious Black Rhino. Accommodations were all great. Food was good. Got to have a visit at a local Maasi tribe village which was wonderful. I highly recommend these guys and this organization. They arranged and supported us with everything from packing, visas, airport pickup/drop off/hotels - you name it - they helped us.

Friendly and well organized
We found Wakanda through a friend, we did a little market research and found this one to be best value for money. Felix is an experienced driver and excellent guide, he will answer all of your questions very frankly and is respectful of the natural environment. Dullah cooked amazing food for us every day, with a variety of protein and veggies, homemade bread and yummy deserts. We did a 5 day tour wjich gave us plenty of time to visit tarangire, serengeti, ngorongoro and see all the animals you could possibly imagine! Personally I found that maybe 4 days would have been just as good, as after a week in a car I was needing a good stretch and a walk.

The perfect Safari
Everything was very well organised. Our Guide (Andrew) and the Chef (Machete) were excellent! Andrew is very experienced and knew all the good spots for the animals. We saw the „big 5“ multiple times!

Perfect on all levels
The camping group safari was an absolutely fantastic & magical experience! Andrew, our guide, provided us with valuable insights about the wildlife we saw, guided us in the parks (he has exceptional driving skills!) and just brought the group together by making the entire experience fun. The cherry on top of this incredible adventure was the 5-star food cooked by Dullah - we ate so much and sooo incredibly well! In short: don’t hesitate and just book this tour!! :)

Praise was absolutely incredible in every way possible. He was extremely knowledgeable and outgoing.
This was our first safari and we couldn’t have been more pleased with it! Everything from the moment we landed in Arusha till the end was exceptional. Our guide/driver Praise that we spent the 4 days with was incredible! We spent the entire time learning about all the animals, plants and villages that we encountered. The trip was all laughs and smiles. The accommodation was spectacular at all each lodge and the food was delicious! We are so grateful we went with this company and have made a life long friend!

The perfect agency for a unique experience
The experience with Serengeti Wakanda was excellent from the very first moment. Bartho was always very helpful and gave us the right directions before we left.
We were lucky enough to have the legendary Andrew as our guide, a wonderful, tireless person with many anecdotes to tell. He showed us the five big five and knew the habits of the animals very well, managing to find them in the right place.
The cook who was with us Abdullah is an excellent cook, every day he offered us different and always excellent menus. Also with us was their content media socialist Aisha, who as well as taking great photos (you can see them on Instagram on their account) was very friendly, helpful and always ready to lend a hand when needed.
The tented experience in the Serengeti was a lot of fun.
Without Serengeti Wakanda would not have been the same. Absolutely recommendable.
Kudos to all the staff

5 Day Camping Safari Wakanda
We did the 5 day safari going to Tarangire -Lake Manyara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater worh Wakanda and it was the perfect decision! Communication with Bartho was very good before, during and after the trip! Pn our safari we had Felix as our guide and Majete as a chef. Both did an outstanding job and created memories for life.
We felt very safe thoughout the whole safari and were taken care of greatly the whole time. Felix is a very experienced guide who successfully drove us through different national parks. He could "smell" the animals and managed to show us more species of animals than expected (e.g Big 5, Ugly 5 and cheetahs).
Majete was our chef on the trip on treated us and especially our stomachs very well! The food was an exceptional mix between local and western dishes.
Both of them were great to talk to and created and a very nice atmosphere through their sense of humour and warm welcoming personality.
Thank you again and we can highly recommend to go with Wakanda on a unforgettable safari adventure.

Professional knowledgeable guide, great food, good value.
Serengeti Wakanda was quick responding from our 1st contact many weeks in advance. Clearly the owner/operator is client focused and anticipated many queries before we asked them.
Our guide was a skilled communicator, and a strong capable driver, but most importantly extremely knowledgeable about the parks - their history and topography - and the flora and fauna. His knowledge of the animals - their seasonal behaviours, and symbiotic relationships between species - was impressive. And key to our whole experience, he knew where to find them. Apparently we were very lucky to see all we saw, but I am convinced a lot of that luck was related to our guide. On the rare occasion that we stumped him with a question (or overwhelmed him with too many), he had reference books on board to look up anything.
The cook / guide assistant blew us away with his work ethic and culinary skill. In theory, we were camping. But we were eating 3 high-end restaurant meals a day. Really delicious.
All in all, Serengeti Wakanda delivered an experience we will never forget.
