Choose Wakanda for the best possible safari experience!
We have just finished a 5 day private safari with Wakanda. We chose Wakanda because they were the only company who could quote for a one way safari ending near Lake Victoria. Bartho was very helpful and patient while we planned our safari and gave us lots of options and a very competitive price.
We had the good luck of having Felix as our guide and Abdullah as our chef. Together they provided us with the most amazing experience we will never forget. Felix is friendly, kind, patient and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw the best that the different parks had to offer, depending on the season. He knows everything there is to know about the animals and did some amazing, long driving days in tricky conditions to show us everything he could. He also has integrity, and did not venture off road like many other operators did- however this did not stop us seeing anything. Even after getting up for a 6am game drive he was happy and chatty for the rest of the day and answered all our questions.
Abdullah is the most amazing chef with a real passion for the food he prepares. He made us fantastic meals 3 times a day, different every time. They were delicious and interesting and he used lots of different ingredients. The only problem was he fed us too well! He is also a lovely guy who really cares about what he does. We were travelling with our 5 year old son and Felix and Abdullah were so kind to him too, he absolutely loved them both.
We can not praise Wakanda highly enough, it really is a 5 star service that cares about its guests. The accommodation (tents) was better than expected and really comfortable. The jeep was awesome with it's own minibar!
But it was the people who made it unforgettable. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Asante Sana!

What an overwhelming and amazing experiences
The tour with Wakanda Tours and Safaris was such an amazing experience. Everything was perfectly organized and we were also able to book our hotel before and after the safari through the office. Our driver Bashir did a really great job. With his experience and feeling for nature, we were able to see the animals up close without disturbing them. Our chef Ashraf spoiled us every day with three-course meals, which he conjured up using the simplest ingredients on the campsites. Well done. Small negative point - there was only cola as a soft drink, everything else was really perfect.
Thanks guys for this great & overwhelming experience and thanks for having us! It was just wonderful.

Amazing personality, huge passion for animals, and a vast knowledge on wildlife
It is hard to find the words to describe how amazing our safari tour was. It all started from the moment we met our guide Simon. Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris did not only provide us a guide, but also a friend! Simon has a wonderful personality and a huge passion for animals! His positive energy and sense of humor made our trip memorable! He placed so much effort in ensuring that we always had the best possible location and view on all animal species. Whenever he would hear over the radio that there is a particular species or a pack of animals at a certain location, he would rush to that place to make sure we don’t miss the opportunity to see it! As a result, we did not only succeed to see all of the big 5, but made amazing photos thanks to Simon! In case an animal was far away, he did his best to make pictures look like it was just in front of us. His knowledge and experience provided so much context and understanding of the national resorts, animal behaviour, and laws of wildlife. He gave the answer to any question we had during our ride. We very much recommend you to request Simon to be your guide!
In addition to Simon, we also experienced a great organisation and support by the whole Serengeti Wakanda team! They ensured that we have the best accommodation, service, and overall experience! In case you haven’t made your choice, we highly recommend to pursue your upcoming safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda and Simon as your tour guide!

Excellent planning and implementation
My husband and I planned and recently completed a 5-day private safari with Wakanda. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the team members once again. Only with professional help it is possible to plan the right length in the different national parks. Our guide Felix was unbelievably great, he was there for us the whole day, told us everything we needed to know about the animals and was simply a likeable and nice person with whom we enjoyed spending the 5 days. THANK YOU, Felix for an unforgettable safari!
Everything was very professional, from the organization to the handling on site and the implementation. We can highly recommend Wakanda as a tour provider.
Perfect
My mom and I went on a 4 day safari and we had a wonderful time! Everything went perfectly and we can’t recommend it enough!

The most amazing safari experience I could imagine!
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Serengeti Wakanda and our amazing guide and driver Andrew. We did a private tour among five of us friends and spent one day in Lake Manyara, one day in Tarangire national park, three days in Seregenti, and one day in Ngorongoro Crater.
Andrew was a very safe driver and was so talented at knowing where animals would be and spotting them. He shared a lot of cool stories and was very knowledgeable about the animals and wildlife. We had good communication with him throughout our trip as well. He knew the parks inside and out to the degree that he could point out a specific tree where a certain animal would often be. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the parks and animals. Several times other drivers would be lost in Serengeti and he had to provide directions. Andrew also made an extra effort to get some candles and arrange for one of the hotels to make my friend a cake for her birthday. He went above and beyond; I can’t imagine a better guide and driver!
The safari experience itself was like a dream come true, seeing so many animals. I particularly loved seeing the felines in Serengeti (multiple cheetahs with cubs, many lions and lions with cubs, a leopard multiple times), plus loved all the elephants, giraffes. You can see my detailed list below of some of the animals we saw (I’m sure I didn’t list them all). This was the trip of a lifetime.

Wakanda tours rocks! Worth every penny
The experience was magical and our driver and tour guide Andrew was superb. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable (knew every single animal including the different types of birds), he was funny, friendly, calm and all around so lovely. Bartho was also lovely and super helpful in getting us set up and ensuring our experience exceeded our expectations. The car we had was very comfortable, meals included in the package were delicious and the hotels in the luxury package were stunning. I would highly LLP recommend Wakanda tours and especially Andrew as your tour guide, totally worth the incredible experience with such a knowledgeable guide. We were able to see all the big 5 and so many more. Thank you so much Bartho and Andrew!!

Fantastic safari and fantastic organization
When I was looking for a company to do a safari with, I found dozens (hundreds?) of operators. However, I did not regret 1 second having decided for Wakanda and absolutely recommend them. I went for a 6 day camping group safari. The price was very fair in my view. The itinerary was great and I think quite ideal; it included two nights camping in Serengeti and one day at Ngorongoro crater. The safari itself was absolutely fantastic, the nature, the animals, the views, really breathtaking. Only Lake Manyara national park is a bit sad, as it is not in such good condition.
I think the safari experience really depends on your guide and your cook/chef (as the cars etc. are very similar). We were lucky, because we had Praise as our fantastic, friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable guide and Dullah as a terrific chef. I only eat vegetarian, and he always prepared delicious meals (the only issue was that I was full to quickly : )). If you can, ask for Praise and Dullah to accompany you.
The whole organization, arrangement, payment, also went very well, I was picked up from the airport in the beginning and dropped of at the hotel in the end, I could leave extra luggage with the company. Everything very smooth.

Lifetime experience in safari with Andrew and Macheti!
I did 5 days camping group safari with Andrew and Macheti! What a ride it was! I couldn't ask for better people to be with. Andrew has a lot experience, other tour guides were asking him if they can follow us. He drove us to see the big 5 and he even saw a serval! He also explains us about the Massai (his parent belong to the tribe!). And what about the food? Macheti I wish that you have a restaurant in Europe for me to go! Such a good dishes and such a good person you are! I had a fantastic experience! Thank you Taranguire, Serengueti and Ngorongoro! And thank you team!
