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
* 2 nights at Melia Arusha before the safari arranged by Serengeti Wakanda at a lower price than booking online
* Tarangire National Park
* Serengeti National Park 2 nights
* Ngorongoro Crater
* Cultural visits to the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes
* 2 extra nights after the safari at a hotel of our own choosing
🚙 Safari Vehicle
* Comfortable and well-maintained Toyota Land Cruiser.
* Plenty of room for our family and luggage.
* Reliable vehicle throughout the entire trip.
* Comfortable even during long game drives.
🦁 Tour Guide – Bashir
This is one of the biggest reasons our safari was so successful.
* Extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and the parks.
* Amazing at spotting animals, even those we would have completely missed.
* Knows where to position the vehicle for the best views and photos.
* Patient, professional, friendly, and always made us feel safe.

* A great safari guide can make or break your trip, and Bashir was outstanding.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.
* Delicious meals throughout the trip.
* Great variety every day.
* Even our picky teenagers enjoyed the food.

🎈 Hot Air Balloon Safari
We booked the balloon ride through Serengeti Wakanda with Miracle Experience.
* Absolutely worth every penny.
* Incredible sunrise over the Serengeti.
* Followed by a wonderful bush breakfast.
* Serengeti Wakanda was able to get us a price that was lower than the advertised price from the balloon company, which was a pleasant surprise.

❤️ 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!

A reliable local provider, who provides a great service and looks after the details!
As a traveller who likes to support local companies, it is always a bit of a minefield when you are travelling to a country that you are unfamiliar with. After extensive research I opted to book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours, because of the great service provided (by Beatrice) via email/WhatsApp and because their quote was truly a fair one (I requested 15+ quotes from different providers, compared them based on cost, accommodation and extra’s offered such as WiFi, beverages etc)
Having just completed our 4 day safari I am so pleased to have trusted this company, as we had an amazing experience. Not only did our guide, Godlove, speak perfect English, he was kind, approachable, patient and took great care of us. He is a very safe driver, did not take any risks, is very knowledgeable about the birds and animals and was great company all round.
The trip included a range of different (tented) lodges, which all had its charm. My family and I were treated so well by everyone, we enjoyed the picnic lunches en route and the dinners in the evening. Based on our experience I can highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours, you’ll have a great experience if you book with them
Friendly with professional staff an terrific safari guide in Godlove
Well organised & good communications throughout from enquiry to completed safari. Stunning accommodation over the 3 nights on safari including 2 in the national parks. Food throughout very good with big lunches. Excellent & very knowledgeable safari guide (Godlove) & felt safe at all times. Godlove was patient and nothing was too much trouble, he provided a great & informative level of service. Highly recommended.
