An Experience of a Lifetime with Serengeti Wakanda
We had the most wonderful time with Serengeti Wakanda. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond, offering enormous support both before and after the official tour. We are extremely grateful for the kindness and hospitality we received from Serengeti Wakanda.
Aishwarya was an excellent communicator right from our first contact. She crafted a fabulous plan for our 6-day/5-night private safari to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Everything was clearly laid out, and communication was always prompt and effective.
Edu, our guide for the 6-day safari, was incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic. It was evident that he had years of experience – he knew all the best spots, expertly scheduled our days, and made our experience truly phenomenal. Thanks to Edu, we had the experience of a lifetime.
We were fortunate to enjoy a 4x4 Land Cruiser with four seats. It was an extremely comfortable vehicle with plenty of space. The car was equipped with a charging port (with four outlets) and WiFi! Yes, we had WiFi in the car for the entire safari, which allowed us to stay connected with our families back home and share our amazing experiences in real time. Edu kept the car spotless – each day, he meticulously cleaned out the dust from the Serengeti’s roads.
We opted for the lunch and drinks package (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Initially, I assumed these would be boxed lunches, but Serengeti Wakanda does something special – they serve warm lunches on beautiful plates. We definitely stood out during lunch breaks – while others ate from cardboard boxes, we enjoyed delicious meals of rice, meat, vegetables, and desserts on dinnerware, complete with silverware and glasses of wine!
Overall, we highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda for trips to northern Tanzania. They exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely loved our experience!

Excellent service
Very professional service. We had a great experience. We are very happy with our guide Rogan. He asked us at the beginning what we wanted to see and did everything he could to complete our wishes. He was also an excellent driver and we felt very safe throughout even on the bumpy roads. I would highly recommend.

A delightful experience with gorillas
We had a great time with Standard Safaris. From start to finish, we were very satisfied with the responsiveness and organization of our trip. Coleb, the owner, crafted a fabulous plan for our 3-day/2-night private tour to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to track gorillas, followed by a leisurely evening at Lake Bunyonyi—the third deepest lake in the world. Everything was clearly laid out, and communication was always prompt and effective.
Yonah, our guide for the 3-day trip, was knowledgeable, kind, and always attentive to our needs. His years of experience were evident—he knew all the best spots, expertly scheduled our days, and made our experience truly phenomenal.
Seeing gorillas in their natural habitat was the experience of a lifetime. We were fortunate—our tracking took only about two hours, giving us a full hour with the Bweza family. Our Bwindi ranger was delightful, with years of experience in the forest. She shared everything about gorillas—their habits, life, and so much more.
Lake Bunyonyi was another highlight. Our trip included a 1.5-hour boat tour on the lake with a local guide, who seemed like a local celebrity—his grandmother survived the punishment island on the lake. He’s also a community organizer and developer, running educational programs for the local population. In the evening, we took a plunge in the river and enjoyed phenomenal views from our lodge.
Overall, we highly recommend Standard Safaris for trips in Uganda. They exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely loved our experience!

Epic Rewilding Experience
We just got back from an epic experience of a lifetime in Tanzania with Safari GOATs! Our most heartfelt thanks 🙏🙏🙏 goes to Eddy, who captained us from the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater, across the vast Serengeti plains and back! We didn’t only get up close and personal with the BIG 5 (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino), but also witnessed a Wildebeest river crossing – with crocs in waiting no less!
As our guide, Eddy was reliable, resourceful and totally trustworthy over the course of our 12-day trip. But he was so much more! His cool, good-natured demeanor gave our journey a personal dimension that would not have been the same otherwise. Through his humorous storytelling we learned a great deal about life in Tanzania while sharing many laughs together!
Overall, our holiday in Tanzania exceeded all expectations! Our sincere gratitude goes to Eddy and Safari GOATs for planning our journey: from the terrific value-for-money selection of camps and lodges to accommodating our last-minute wishes and caffeine binges! Btw, any initial reservations we had about the food were completely unfounded—it was excellent! (Tip: If looking for a special nightout, check out the Lilac Oasis in Keratu on the road from Lake Manyara to Ngorongoro.)
Eddy had told us, "Nature gives you what you deserve, not what you want," as he took us on an incredible journey of rewilding. Still, the experience has left us truly wanting more, with the memories of the stunning scenery, fascinating peoples, and diverse wildlife still lingering in our minds.

Always there for you!
The trip was very well tailored to our needs.
We had been talking to Justin for at least 3 months before the trip start and I can say that he responded very quickly and help us organize everything.
The visit to Serengeti, Tarangire and Arusha national park were amazing. The drivers were very reliable and you feel very safe on the car. Although the parks were amazing for their own merits we want to praise our guide to the Materuni waterfall.
We have had some problems and we were not really in a very good mood while preparing to visit the Materuni. Luckily Allan really made the day for us. He's very funny and explains you a lot of things about your surroundings, He talks about the culture, the people, the plants... and has a lot of patience walking you through the path to the waterfall. He was our favorite guide by far.
The days in Zanzibar were amazing also. We were on a budget and they really find the perfect hotel for us. Melik's hotel in jambiani beach was wonderful. The location was perfect, the staff (especially Alex) were very kind and made our days perfect.
On the flight from kilimanjaro to Zanzibar we lost our handbag with all our cash money inside and Justin from see endless help us calling the airport and telling us what to do. He was truly helpful in a very stressful situation.
It was our first safari but we think that the value for money was really good.

Serengeti Green Tanzania became my chosen partner after contacting many travel agencies. Our travel planner, Davies, is the most professional, patient, and flexible tourism worker I have ever met. I studied tourism in college and worked as a tour guide for some time after graduation. I deeply understand that a tourism worker's responsibility and dedication are far more important than the size of the company itself. After contacting many travel agencies, including some well-known and larger ones, I chose Serengeti Green. It turned out that my choice was absolutely correct. All our itineraries were carried out according to the pre-arranged plans, including the guides I specified beforehand. The Serengeti Green Tanzania team was highly professional.
Our airport transfer and citywalk tour guide was Frank. He is an extremely sincere, kind, and warm-hearted young man who took care of all our needs, continuously explaining everything to us, and taking us to all the must-visit places in the city. His English is excellent, and we liked him very much. Our safari guide was Good Luck, who has extensive safari experience and always managed to take us to the closest points to the animals for photos. He is very familiar with the geography of various national parks and could immediately react and drive us to the spots where animals were reported on the radio.
When my companion lost their passport during the trip, Davies and Good Luck promptly and proactively helped us find it. The people of Tanzania are so warm and friendly, and this land left us with endless emotions and deep memories. I believe Serengeti Green Tanzania Company is definitely worth choosing and trusting.

We were all very happy with our choice of African Big Cats Safari! Excellent service+great people!
I booked this tour for our family (parents and grown up kids). We have never been on safari and were all excited. Before choosing African Big Cats Safaris, I have been in touch with 2 tour operators with European owners. Then I looked for local operators because I thought it would be better to fully support local businesses. I came across African Big Cats Safaris because of their excellent reviews on the web. So I contacted them and was amazed by their responsiveness and support right from the first contact. In addition, they offered better prices for what I thought looked like better lodges than the other tour operators I have contacted. My first contact, William, was a very nice, experienced and responsive person in planning our safari. After we have decided on the route, Naomi took over and dealt with all adminsitrative issues (also in a very kind and responsive manner). When we arrived in Kilimanjaro airpiort, we were picked up by our safari guide, David. He was a great safari guide thoughout the whole tour and we all enjoyed very much to have him with us all the time (and had a lot of fun with him). He is very experienced and knows a lot about the country, the people and the nature/animals over there. If you choose a tour operator, I strongly recommend that you look for tour operators that only work with experienced drivers with many years of experience (as African Big Cats Safaris does) as driving/being in the bush requires experienced drivers. After our first breakfast in Arusha, Emanuel, the managing director of African Big Cats Safaris, met with us and discussed the tour and all questions we had. He also is a very nice, kind and friendly guy and it was great that he took the time to meet with us (he also met us after our tour at the airport to hear about our experinces and was eager to understand whether we see any areas for improvement!). The tour and the lodges were excellent and we all will never forget this trip. We highly recommend African Big Cats Safarai and would - without any doubt - book a tour with them again! Thank you to the whole team of African Big Cats Safais for this experience! One recopmmendation if you haven't planned your tour yet: Be aware of the long distances between the various parks/lodges. If you have the flexibility, it may be worth considering a one way trip from Arusha to Serengeti and then take a plane from there to your next desitination (e.g. Sansibar). This way, you have only half of the distance and have less time on the road (transfer time) and more time in the lodges which really were beautiful. One last comment: We have never been in Tanzania before and were all amazed by the natural friendliness and hospitality of the people! This really was an experience for all of us.

We booked a 13-day safari with polecat. We spent 4 days in Zanzibar and 9 days on safari in Tanzania. Our guide was Manfred. Manfred did an incredibly good job. He knew an incredible amount about all the animals, the individual peoples and the country. There was no question he could not answer. He was always in a good mood and made our days wonderful. I would advise everyone who books with polecat and wants to support a local provider to ask for Manfred as a guide, then your safaris will be a complete success
