Zephania was an exceptional guide who made our 4-day safari unforgettable by always going the extra
We had the pleasure of spending 4 incredible days with our safari guide, Zephania, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible safari. He always knew the best spots, positioned us perfectly for wildlife sightings, and worked tirelessly to give us unforgettable moments.
His knowledge of the wildlife and the parks was outstanding, and his passion for what he does truly showed. He was patient, friendly, professional, and always made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
The hotels throughout the safari were also excellent—comfortable, well chosen, and with great service, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Thanks to Zephania, our safari exceeded all expectations. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in for an amazing experience. Highly, highly recommended!

What really stood out was how knowledgeable Zephania is.
We spent 5 amazing days on safari with Zephania, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. From day one, he was friendly, easy to talk to, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
What really stood out was how knowledgeable Zephania is. Every time we spotted an animal, he had something interesting to explain about its behavior, habitat, or the little details we would have completely missed on our own. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
He was also incredibly patient. He never rushed us, always stopped whenever we wanted to take photos, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had the best possible views. Thanks to his experience and sharp eyes, we saw so much wildlife that we definitely would have missed otherwise.
After five days together, it honestly felt like we were exploring Tanzania with a friend rather than just a safari guide. Zephania worked hard every single day to give us the best experience possible, and it really showed.
Thank you, Zephania, for making our trip so memorable. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I couldn’t recommend him more. He’ll make your experience one you’ll never forget.

Faboulous, Professional Tour Operator
We had a fantastic 6-day safari to Tarangire , Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris. To us, it was important to get deeper into Tarangire and Serengeti to get away from the crowds and Beatrice organized the Tour to make our wish come true. Our excellent guide Zephania made sure we saw Lots and Lots of wildlife and also beautiful landscapes and we slept in luxurious, close-to-nature tented camps inside the parks in Tarangire safari Haven and Lala Salama in the Serengeti. We felt that we got really good value for the Money and Everything was Professional, reliable and exactly the way we had planned.
Excellent Family African Safari
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serengeti Wakanda Safari Review
7-Day Northern Circuit Safari + Cultural Experience
We are a family of 4 from California 2 adults and 2 teenagers, ages 13 & 16, and this was truly the trip of a lifetime. After a lot of research, we chose Serengeti Wakanda, and they exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. The price is also cheaper than what we budgeted for, so we did some extra stay and upgrade.
📅 Our Itinerary

❤️ Final Thoughts
This safari exceeded every expectation we had. The wildlife, landscapes, accommodations, food, organization, and cultural experiences all came together to create unforgettable memories for our family.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda. They were responsive, organized, honest, and took care of every detail from the moment we arrived until the day we left.
A special thank you to Bashir, whose knowledge, experience, and passion made every game drive exciting and unforgettable. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, and many of those sightings were possible because of his expertise.
If we ever return to Tanzania, we would absolutely book with Serengeti Wakanda again.
Tip for future travelers: If your budget allows, add one extra night in the Serengeti—you won’t regret it!

Excellence, great service and professionalism in every detail
We are a married couple from Guatemala, celebrating our 37 anniversary and decided to do the Safari as one of our lives dreams.
At Wakanda, we were assisted exceptionally in organizing the Safari.
The tour coordination was perfect ; we had also the experience of hot air balloon ride, which was a wonderful, unique experience. Our assigned guide from Wakanda, Israel, was amazing; he was an expert on every detail—from the wildlife to locating all the animals we wanted to see. He was patient—especially since we were on a photography-focused safari—highly knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk to, with perfect command of Spanish. We enjoyed picnic lunches of formal meals daily in the beautiful landscapes of the African savanna. All the hotels were excellent, particularly Lala Salama (in the Serengeti) and Escarpment Luxury Lodge. The service throughout was exceptional.

The Perfect African Safari: Exceptional hospitality, Luxury Stays & an Incredible Guide, Daniel
From the moment we landed until the very end of our trip, everything was flawlessly organized by Serengeti Safari Agency. Our guide Daniel was the true star of the journey - knowledgeable, fun, patient, and incredibly passionate about wildlife. Every game drive was filled with fascinating stories, the jumbo songs and insights, making the entire experience even more special. He would cheer us up with the Jumbo son he sensed the energy was low. By the end of the trip, it became our anthem & we all still vibe on it after coming back. Thanks a ton Daniel
We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, infact we saw a pride of 16 lions all together - something we had only dreamed about before this trip! Every day felt like an adventure straight out of Natgeo documentary. it was like witnessing NATGEO live!
All credit to Aishwarya - the accommodations arranged were simply spectacular. Staying in luxurious properties right inside the national parks elevated the entire experience, they did took our special request for vegetarian food options - sincerely grateful for the same!
Super impressed with Serengeti Wakanda's approach to sustainability. Food was provided in reusable casseroles that were collected, cleaned, and reused for the entire trip. Brought back memories of going on a picnic with family. Such a simple yet impactful initiative that significantly reduces waste while still offering excellent food and convenience.
If you're looking for a safari that perfectly combines adventure, luxury, exceptional hospitality, and sustainability, we would highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours Safari Agency . Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We would choose you all over again!

Unforgettable Adventure
Unforgettable Adventure
Serengeti Wakanda arranged a wonderful 10 day Camping Safari for us. Goodluck served as a great main point of contact throughout the booking process and on Safari, offering very friendly help, itinerary changes, and frequent check in’s to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. On safari we were led by Benedict (guide) and Sulle (chef). We could not have asked for a better trio involved in our experience!
Benedict is a master of his craft, knowing exactly where to invest time in particular sightings, sharing endless knowledge about local wildlife, ecosystems, cultures, and economies. His passion for the job is evident in the care he takes to look after his guests. Full of interesting and compassionate stories from his 12 years of experience. A genuinely great person. As for Sulle, I truly do not understand how he could produce such delicious meals at the campsites we stayed in. Daily fresh baked bread (baked in a metal box over hot coals!) lasagne and pizza, local beef stews and banana based recipes, and crepes every morning for breakfast. A genuinely funny person ensuring we had a perfect experience, with incredible skill in the kitchen. Both Benedict and Sulle went above and beyond to provide a perfect Safari! Thank you!
We saw every animal we hoped to see and then some, some incredible sunrises and sunsets, and felt fully immersed in the Serengeti. Would 100% use this tour operator again.

An Unforgettable 9-Day Serengeti Adventure, thanks to Wakanda!
We just returned from a 9-day Serengeti safari and cannot recommend this tour operator enough! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamlessly organized. A comfortable transport (Modified Land cruiser 6 seater with a fridge), daily 12hr game drive, and a genuine passion for sharing the wonders of the Serengeti.
Our driver&guide Daniel made the experience really special and would highly recommend him!
We were able to see all Big5 and more. There were some custom requests like altering a day's plan or timing or even the brand of beer we'd prefer - and each request was entertained and welcomed.
The stays at serengeti were amazing especially at Lala Salama.
Would Highly recommend Wakanda to anyone planning a trip to Serengeti!

Incredible 7 Day Tanzania Safari
We just finished an amazing 7 Day Safari with Serengeti Wakanda. The trip included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorogoro Crater. The lodges that were included were very nice and great for unwinding after each day. We added on the Hot Air Balloon trip and would absolutely recommend that. Our tour guide Jeremiah was super knowledgeable and friendly and he took great care of us from start to finish! We also had a great experience with Beatrice who helped us plan the trip and was very flexible with shifting travel plans!
