Wakanda is TOP NOTCH in every way!
We booked a 2-night, 3-day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 young adults). Even before we left home the communication with Wakanda was quick, clear, friendly and professional. This level of service continued throughout the trip. They made sure to communicate every step of the way. Each person we interacted with, from collecting the final payment, to transportation to/from the airport and of course, our guide, could not have been more friendly or professional. Each person was crystal clear about explaining the tour and answering every question we had.
We hit the jackpot with Max as our guide. He met us at the airport, set up a table with drinks and took time to ask what we wanted from the safari before we even started. He coupled his amazing skills and knowledge with what we wanted. He always made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. He obliged us with "pit stops" and never started driving again after a stop without checking to make sure everyone was ready to move on. We never felt rushed. Each evening he would suggest a plan to accommodate our wishes of seeing as many animals as possible, and would make sure we were all on the same page. He went our of his way to make sure the lodging would allow us to pack our breakfast so we could get an early start.
Max seemed to have a superpower of spotting animals from a distance and would enthusiastically point them out. We saw the BIG 5 and then some. Obviously, Max has no control over the animals, but he consistently took us to beautiful locations with lots of animals. We took glorious photos of animals big and small. He shared so many interesting facts and took pleasure in our excitement that it was evident he loves his job. He had only positive things to say about Wakanda as well, which speaks volumes. He was careful not to promise anything, but worked diligently, communicating with other guides, to track down animal locations. Max seemed to know the parks like the back of his hand, taking each twist and turn with confidence. He would patiently back the vehicle up if we spotted something we wanted to see, and answered hundreds of questions not only about animals, but also about local culture, various plants and geography. He was an excellent driver. He did his best to navigate the smoothest parts of the roads and never took unreasonable risks. At lunch breaks, he always made sure we were taken care of first, setting up our table, setting out food and drinks, making sure we were served. The food was plentiful and each day there was a wide variety of tasty dishes, cold and hot drinks, and all dietary restrictions were accommodated. He stayed with us and visited with us, even when it would have been easy to sit with other guides.
We had an absolutely amazing safari! I cannot imagine a better guide or tour company. We are already talking about going again some day and we will definitely book with Wakanda and ask for Max!

Amazing Safari - Could not have been better!
Our family of 5 had the most amazing guide - Max! We will request Max when we return and highly recommend him to all. He was incredibly friendly, very knowledgable and set realistic expectations - not to mention an excellent driver. He was in frequent radio contact with nearby guides but never made promises. We had a 3 day, 2 night Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and were fortunate to see all the animals we had hoped to see and more than many do on a 3 day safari. Not only did we see the "Big 5" - including a leopard with a kill in the neighboring tree, we saw numerous lions with cubs, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, baboons, monkeys, dozens of birds and so much more. In arranging the Safari, Beatrice was friendly, quick to respond and answered all of our questions. Ben gave us a detailed briefing the day before our departure. Joshua arrived right on time for our early morning transport to Arusha airport for our flight to Seronera airstrip. The accommodations were beautiful and all of the service we had was superb. We would happily use them again and will recommend Serengeti Wakanda to all of our friends. Not only did we have a great Safari, the price was much better than the other quotes we received for the same accommodations and number of days.

The best tour in my life, witness the power of life.
The guide, Merito, is awsome. He can find animals from far far away, and know everything from the grassland. He is professional and enthusiastic.
The hotels are good, but usually has no wifi in the room.

Our tour operator was Tom (Tumsifu). He is thoughtful, kind and very knowledgeable!
We had a great experience with Wakanda. Tom was great in asking us what we wanted to get out of the Safari. He was considerate to us and we even managed to see all of the animals we wanted to including the big 5. I would highly recommend going with Wakanda tours and choosing Tom (Tumsifu) as your tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and is keen to answer any questions you might have. It has been a once in a lifetime experience !

Surpassed every expectation!
We booked a 7 day safari in the higher-mid range, private, for 2 people. I will limit my review to the actual service Serengeti Wakanda provides, as they are obviously a Safari agency and some services (logistics, safari guide & game drives) they provide directly, others they use partners (acommodation).
Their service is very good, any logistics issue, any problem, and they try to fix and help out. They will be there ALL the way during your trip and they will not fail. Not once did we feel left out, and this is important.
The best part of their service is their amazing guides. We had the luck of getting Max, a very knowledgeable and fun person, who went way, way out of his way to deliver what was in our expectations and much, much more. We left with wonderful experiences we could've only have dreamt, all thanks to Max. The difference between having a worthy guide like him elevates the trip to an entirely new level. Believe me, the things we saw would not have been possible had Max not put all the work he put in.
I can only recommend Serengeti Wakanda. All my friends looking to plan a Safari are getting their direct number from me.
Thank you Wakanda.

My first Safari, Best time ever!
From the very beginning of this fantastic Safari, I knew it would be special. There was always great communication and I felt like my adult daughter and I were well taken care of. Our tour guide, Edward was the best ever. He was always professional, patient, and could answer our questions and anticipate our needs during the trip. I would ask for him personally when I visit again. The accommodations were awesome with food and staff that were top notch.

Reliable and amazing!
It was a great and memorable experience with Wakanda.
Glory helped in all the arrangement in making this trip smooth sailing. We are happy on the choices of lodge she arranged.
Despite late arrival due to flight delayed, Joshua was very patient in assisting to our hotel and check in.
During the safari, Tom impressed us with his knowledge in wildlife and culture. He is very patient in answering all our questions, made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The highlight of this trip was his determination to make sure we able to spot leopard to complete our big 5 although we understand it is a challenge in this raining season. We are so grateful we are able to spot it towards the end of our trip, thanks for not giving up Tom.
Wakanda, we are grateful for this unforgettable trip ❤️
