Couldn’t wish for anything better
5/5

**Thank you ZEPHA and SALIM**

A safari in Tanzania changes your life: the Tarangire parks, paradise of elephants and baobabs; the immensity of the Serengeti, an endless stretch of savannah ruled by big cats; and the Ngorongoro Crater, an ecosystem of its own offering breathtaking colors and landscapes.
I couldn’t choose my favorite moment from these 4 days, but if I really had to pick one, it would be the encounter with 3 lions at dawn, just outside the tent, only a few steps away from us. Their roars were so powerful and piercing that even now, just thinking about it, I get chills—and if I focus hard enough, I feel like I can still hear them.

The most beautiful experience we’ve ever had—but it wouldn’t have been the same without our guide ZEPHA, a man with rare kindness and availability.
He guided us through the savannah, answering every curiosity and surprising us with his excellent Italian. We will never forget you!

One thing I honestly worried about, being Italian, was the food. But chef SALIM far exceeded our expectations: I ate the best soup ever, not to mention the fish and the spiced chicken. Everything was always freshly prepared, including the bread.
We’ll try to recreate your recipes at home.

Nothing compares to the emotions we lived in the savannah, in nature and in safety—all thanks to you.

Safari Review – An Unforgettable Adventure in the Wild
Our 7-day safari was an absolutely outstanding experience that exceeded all expectations. From the first to the last minute, the journey was fascinating, informative, and filled with unforgettable moments.

Wildlife Sightings:
We were fortunate to witness a wide variety of fascinating animals in their natural habitats. From majestic elephants, graceful giraffes, and impressive lions to elusive leopards and colorful bird species – the diversity was breathtaking.

Our Guide M.J.:
A special thanks goes to our guide M.J. He was not only highly experienced but also exceptionally talkative, attentive, and enthusiastic. His passion for nature and profound knowledge made each tour an exciting adventure. M.J. had a perfect way of blending interesting facts with captivating stories, bringing the safaris to life.

Culinary Highlights by Chef Dulla:
Another highlight of our safari was the top-notch cuisine prepared by Chef Dulla. His culinary skills rival those of a fine-dining restaurant. From exquisite appetizers and delicious main courses to irresistible desserts – every meal was a culinary masterpiece. The fresh salads were always perfectly prepared. Dulla cooks with heart and passion, which was evident in every bite.

Conclusion:
This safari was an unforgettable adventure, marked by spectacular wildlife sightings, excellent service, and heartfelt hospitality. M.J. and Dulla are true professionals who perform their work with dedication and enthusiasm. For an authentic and enriching safari experience, this is the perfect choice.

We highly recommend this safari and will cherish the wonderful memories for a long time.

A beautiful and memorable lifetime experience
5/5

Our experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris was a dream from end-to-end. First, we worked closely with Beatrice to customize our safari itinerary. She was very helpful and patient in answering all of our questions. Being based in the United States, her support gave us both trust and confidence that we would have the best safari possible, which is exactly what happened. During the trip, she also checked in to ensure things were running smoothly and we caught the flights scheduled. Thank you for helping us coordinate all the details and being a critical part of our planning!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6-day safari with our guide, Bashir, who truly made it an unforgettable experience. Bashir is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the areas we visited - from Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater - and all of the animals within them, including which areas are home to specific types of animals. He was always patient and checked in on us frequently to ensure we were enjoying ourselves or had any questions. Bashir went above and beyond to ensure we saw the great migration and specific animals on our wishlist. We learned a lot from him, and gained an even greater appreciation for the land we visited and animals we saw. He is a high quality tour guide. We left our safari experience with full hearts and a wonderful friend in Bashir!!!

This trip was important to us and one we planned for over a year. Many times during our trip we felt so lucky to have selected this company for our honeymoon. We were very sad to leave! This experience and the memories made will stay with us forever.

Hardworking team that put all their effort in ensuring that our safari experience would be amazing.
5/5

We did a 7-day camping safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was well-organized, and our team made the trip unforgettable.

Our guide Tom (Tumsitu) worked hard to make sure we kept “enjoying,” and thanks to him we saw an incredible variety of animals — even a lion hunt! He shared interesting insights about wildlife and Tanzanian culture.

Our chef Sulle cooked us delicious meals every day and served then with a big smile. We especially appreciated breakfast pancakes, freshly baked bread, and the variety of foods including many local dishes.

Camping in the middle of the wilderness was exiting. I'll never forget hearing lions roaring in the Serengeti at night. Highly recommend this safari, especially with Tom and Sulle!

Perfect safari experience
5/5

The best tour company. From booking to the safari, everything was above our expectations. The communication with Beatrice for the booking was so easy and fast. She checked on us few times before the travel date, and was available if we had any questions to help us. The safari it self was just amazing and breathtaking. Our guide, Benedict, was a walking tanzania encyclopedia, all the knowledge he passed to us was so interesting. He was so passionate and so caring for the wellbeing of the animals making sure we dont disturb then and respect them. We really appreciated the way he was caring for us making sure we were ok. We were lucky enough to sight every animals during our safari and even tho it depends on nature, i’m pretty sure our guide knowledge of the animals habit helped with that. I recommend this safari tour company 1000%.

Amazing service, experience and staff
5/5

Wakanda is the best!
We had the most amazing time on our honeymoon doing a 5 night, 6 day safari. From start to finish Wakanda were brilliant - Goodluck was very helpful answering our questions and kept checking in to make sure everything was ok both before and during the tour. Fabian picked us up from the airport and gave us a great city tour.
Max was our tour guide, and he was absolutely brilliant. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Max knew lots of interesting information about his country, the environment and the animals. You can tell he is very passionate about his job and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We loved his Land Rover and felt we had the best jeep on the tour! We felt very safe with Max in the Land Rover and it was unstoppable on the terrain! Max has brilliant eyesight and we were able to spot all the animals thanks to his help and excellent driving ability - amongst lots of amazing things we saw two leopards, a rhino, and a cheetah with four babies all of which are very rare! Max was very respectful of nature and the environment and ensured other safari tour guides were too which was really good to see.
Lunches were delicious and we were one of the only few tours to have a hot lunch, with picnic table and chairs and even a canopy from the jeep to shade us from the sun.
We stayed at the Gran Meliá in Arusha then Mawe Mawe lodge, Signature Serengeti camp, intimate camp zebra, and masek tented lodge. We were blown away by how beautiful each camp was, the staff on each site were so friendly and food very nice - plus hot water in each! Max made sure we checked in safely every night and always ensured we were happy with the schedule for the next day and checked in regularly with us.
We explored several tour operators but we are very pleased we chose Wakanda and even more pleased we got Max as our guide!

Tanzania with Wakanda - Thanks Aishwarya and Edward
5/5

We had the most unforgettable safari experience with Serengeti Wakanda, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and warmth.
A special mention to Aiswarya Vyas, who was in charge of organizing our trip. She was always responsive and quick to answer every question, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. She even noted my birthday and went above and beyond to make it truly special – a thoughtful touch that meant so much to me.
On the ground, we were incredibly lucky to have Edward as our guide. His dedication and passion were unmatched. He was more enthusiastic and determined to spot animals than we were! Thanks to his patience and sharp eyes, we not only saw the Big 5 but also witnessed the breathtaking Great Migration up close. There were several moments where, had it not been for Edward’s determination to wait and track the herds, we would have missed extraordinary sightings. His deep knowledge, respectful attitude towards wildlife, and genuine excitement made every game drive an adventure in itself.
Serengeti Wakanda made our safari seamless, magical, and truly once-in-a-lifetime. If you’re looking for a safari company that combines professionalism with heartfelt care, look no further.

Everything just perfect
5/5

The organisation was perfect from the beginning with great communication. I asked many itinerary changes and had quick and accurate feedback at all times. The team was very responsive. Special thanks to Goodluck who was very kind and patient. Once arrived the trip started and it was fantastic. The food and the lodges were above expectations but the safari was incredible. Impossible to describe. Our guide, Jeremia, was the best. We saw the big 5 thanks to his ability to spot animals and predict their behaviour. He gave us interesting lessons teaching us a lot. He was super kind and the best guide we could hope for!
I the end, when I come back, I'll do it with Serengeti Wakanda for sure!

Top quality. Serengeti Wakanda offers seamless planning and expert guides for unforgettable safari
5/5

We are so happy we chose Serengeti Wakanda! From the very beginning, communication via WhatsApp was smooth and easy (thank you, Sabrina!). The safari was excellently planned, with good accommodation, tasty food, and, most importantly, an outstanding guide.

Our guide, Tumaini (aka Tuma), was incredibly knowledgeable and always shared fascinating insights about the animals. He seemed to know exactly where to find each species, even the rarest ones. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife. Lions, elephants, buffalos, and, to our amazement, even a cheetah and a rhino, which are notoriously hard to spot.

Tuma is a fantastic guide, and we can wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Wakanda for anyone planning a safari.

Unforgettable life experience
5/5

We had the most amazing 6-day safari experience in Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda! 🌿🐘

Our guide Max was truly excellent – always attentive, full of positive energy, and constantly making sure we had the best experience possible. He knew exactly where to take us for incredible views and always found the perfect spots for our lunches in the middle of the savanna. He even positioned the safari car at the best angles so we could capture breathtaking photos of the animals. 📸🦁 He turned our trip into not just a safari, but one of the best life experiences we’ve ever had. With Max, everything flowed smoothly and effortlessly – truly HAKUNA MATATA! 💛

We also want to highlight Ushma, who coordinated every detail exactly as requested and went above and beyond by arranging special touches at each hotel to celebrate our anniversary. 🥂✨ These thoughtful details made the journey even more memorable and meaningful.

We are so grateful for this unforgettable adventure and would highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda, Max, and Ushma to anyone looking for a magical safari experience in Tanzania
