Surpassed every expectation!
We booked a 7 day safari in the higher-mid range, private, for 2 people. I will limit my review to the actual service Serengeti Wakanda provides, as they are obviously a Safari agency and some services (logistics, safari guide & game drives) they provide directly, others they use partners (acommodation).
Their service is very good, any logistics issue, any problem, and they try to fix and help out. They will be there ALL the way during your trip and they will not fail. Not once did we feel left out, and this is important.
The best part of their service is their amazing guides. We had the luck of getting Max, a very knowledgeable and fun person, who went way, way out of his way to deliver what was in our expectations and much, much more. We left with wonderful experiences we could've only have dreamt, all thanks to Max. The difference between having a worthy guide like him elevates the trip to an entirely new level. Believe me, the things we saw would not have been possible had Max not put all the work he put in.
I can only recommend Serengeti Wakanda. All my friends looking to plan a Safari are getting their direct number from me.
Thank you Wakanda.

The perfect safari experience in every way
The safari guides Mark and Sean were both brilliant - so knowledgeable and informative. I mostly went on drives with Sean and I thought he was an absolutely fantastic guide, patient and good at listening and answering questions, showing such a wide range of knowledge about the camp, the birds, the animals and the park itself - I learned so much from him, we all did. I did the canoeing with Campbell and Chris who were both extremely reassuring, especially Campbell whose canoe I was in.
The staff back at the camp were all so friendly and helpful too, and couldn't have been more accommodating and patient with such a large group. Our tents were looked after beautifully and the water delivered so discreetly. Robin, who was our main contact at meals, was so kind and sweet, telling us what was on the menu each night, and then serving us so well at every meal. He was so patient as we often took ages to sit down after our drinks, gazing at the view and talking too much! He was courteous and helpful and always very efficient and professional.
With such a large group it must have been so hard for the chef and kitchen staff to work out what to cook and to cater for so many. The food was all absolutely delicious and there were so many gluten free options as well.
I was very impressed and would like to thank all the staff for making our trip so fantastic.

Good Transfer
We just had a transfer with this company from Johannesburg to Kruger Nationalpark and back. Both times our driver was Tyani. He’s a good driver and the transfer was smooth. As a single traveller I felt safe during the whole trip.

Excellent
The enthusiasm of our guide was contagious but more importantly his knowledge about the animals and where to find them in the park was great.

A genuine host who really does everything for your experience
We booked the combination of the 4 day Mt. Meru climb and Safari. In here I will only review the safari as the combined package is not an option to choose to review.
For our tour guide we had Nuru who is a true walking encyclopaedia. He knows soooo much about animals and the environment. He can also tell you a lot about the Masai tribe. During our game drives he really took the time to answer all our questions and tell us stories of the animals and surroundings. His favorite slogan is ‘Hakuna matata’ he’s a very relaxed guy and a real professional. Also a very sharp eye. He can spot an animal from kilometers far away.
The jeep safari cars have wifi on board and you can charge your devices to never be out of power to photograph the animals.
The game drives are good but quite long and the road is bumpy (car sickness) so please reconsider this also when booking the safari
It was a great experience but in my personal opinion I would recommend doing the Serengeti 2 days (especially the basic camp sites) en 1 day Ngorongoro as I find the time that you’re in the vehicle very long. And after seeing Serengeti and Ngorongoro I think Tarangire does not really bring that extra’s
When it came to the food. The cook Elija (Bonge) always prepared fresh food for us. The food was always good but sometimes we wished a little more variation. That’s also because the meals were roughly the same during the hike!
Finally, please don’t underestimate or forget about tips. Altough it’s not the biggest amount it can really count up after several days

Absolute ripper!!
Moses made the tour. Not afraid to get in the right spot/location to not only see, but get the best photos with lighting as he considered it all. He also knew a lot of the rangers and other guides, so was constantly getting tips on where more animals were.

Safari 365 offers exceptional service creating a trip of a lifetime.
The Safari trip was planned and executed flawlessly. The communication with the tour planner and operator was excellent and were very responsive to any questions or needs that arose, both before and during the trip. The tours were outstanding, the accomodations were amazing, and the local guides were wonderful.
