An unforgettable luxury safari experience with exceptional guides, breathtaking wildlife encounters,
We booked a 4-day safari with 2 travel days, during which we were also offered an Arusha city tour, something we truly appreciated. During the city tour, our driver Fabian guided us and did an excellent job providing insight into Arusha as a city, its culture, different neighborhoods, and its history. The conversations along the way were both informative and very pleasant.
Safari Day 1: Tarangire National Park
Our first safari day took place in Tarangire National Park, known as the home of elephants. It was an incredible introduction to the safari experience, with large herds of elephants and beautiful landscapes that immediately set the tone for the journey.
Safari Day 2: Ngorongoro to Ndutu and Serengeti
On the second day, we passed through the Ngorongoro area on our way to Ndutu before entering the Serengeti. This day truly highlighted our guide Tom’s exceptional knowledge. He decided on a detour based on recent animal movements, and it paid off enormously. Along with many other animals, we saw cheetahs and a large number of lions, all thanks to Tom’s ability to adapt the route to real-time conditions.
Safari Day 3: Serengeti National Park
The third safari day was spent entirely in the Serengeti. Here we saw many lions, two leopards, and even the beginning of the Great Migration. Witnessing this natural spectacle was an unforgettable experience and a highlight of the trip.
Safari Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater
Our final safari day took us down into the Ngorongoro Crater. This day allowed us to complete the Big Five, as we were fortunate enough to spot 6 of the approximately 36 rhinos living in the crater. Seeing these rare animals in such a unique environment was an incredible way to end the safari.
We chose the luxury accommodations and can highly recommend all of them. The rooms were amazing, very clean, and the food was excellent everywhere we stayed. Night one was at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, night two at Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp, and night three at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. While all were outstanding, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge truly stood out with its breathtaking views, where we even saw antelopes directly from our balcony.
During the trip, one of us unfortunately became ill, but our guide Tom and our Wakanda team contact Gwen handled the situation quickly and professionally. Throughout the entire journey, we felt safe, well taken care of, and experienced excellent communication.
On the final day, our flight departed on the same day as our last safari. The transition from our guide Tom to our driver Jackson was smooth and well organized. Jackson drove us to the airport and even patiently waited for the clouds to clear so we could catch a glimpse of “The Shy Mountain,” Mount Kilimanjaro.
We can strongly recommend Wakanda and all the amazing staff we met along the way. This was truly an unforgettable experience.

Well organized and truly careful
We entrusted ourselves to Rose and CARI LOCAL because, from Italy, it seemed like the most logical choice, as they always responded quickly and clearly, which few others did. We studied the route, dates, hotels, resorts, and things to do together. One step at a time, without rushing. Special thanks also to Iddy, our trusted 4x4 driver. Well done!

We are happy we chose Mboni for the Moshi/Kilimanjaro portion of our visit. What really set them apart for us was the Manager, Jackson, who was very helpful, communicative and flexible as we developed our tour itinerary. The guides were also good and friendly. Where we struggled a bit was timeliness of the drivers, which was frustrating. We provided the feedback to Jackson, who said he is working to address this.

The best experience of my life
The owner of Duma is kind, helpful, and very friendly, and we had a great conversation with him.
Although we originally booked only the safari tour, we suddenly decided that we wanted to visit Kibera Slum as well. When we asked about it, he kindly added it to our plan and guided us without hesitation.
Even in areas with safety concerns, we were able to enjoy our trip with peace of mind.
I would definitely like to use Duma again.

He was friendly, kind and really knew his stuff.
We took a long safari to NgoroNgoro and Serengeti, and we managed to spot all the animals we wanted such as elephants, leopards, lions and many more. The service was impeccable with punctual timings and a great itinerary! Highly recommend!

Very reactive and helpful
The safari was magnificent! We saw the Big Five except for the leopard. These were moments of pure happiness for us.
Our guide, Ken, was very kind and attentive and did his best to help us spot all the animals. It’s clear that he has a great deal of experience.
We managed to take beautiful photos. The lodges were acceptable for the budget price, except for the lodges in the Maasai Mara, which were not very comfortable and offered very modest meals. I recommend asking to change them and paying extra, as we did.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I truly recommend doing the safari with Jockey Tours — very responsive with good communication.

Truly amazing and unforgettable safari
We had an amazing safari experience with Serengeti Clarity. Our guide Eric is very nice and professional. We saw wildebeest giving birth, cheetah hunting, and lovely cheetah babies playing! Already recommended to friends.
