Excellent Service from Office to Drivers!
I would highly recommend using this company and using these guides. We dealt with Voice in the office to book our trip and she was outstanding. Very responsive to all of our questions and very knowledgeable with great suggestions. We were welcomed with open arms at their office in Arusha to receive our briefing. Our guides Louis and Ombeni were outstanding. They were attentive to our needs and wants, warm, friendly, and spotted animals that we would never have seen. They were also extremely knowledgeable about everywhere we went and everything we saw and knew how to drive the roads throughout the Serengeti, the Crater, and the Taranguire Park. Our trip was a trip of a lifetime!

Karina is faultless to the last detail - professional, knowledgeable, reliable & always accessible.
Karina is amazing! Her organisational skills, experience, knowledge, reliability, accessibility and courteousness is second to none! When we contacted her initially we had some idea of what type of Safari we wanted, but asked her for suggestions. She is so knowledgeable about South Africa & made some brilliant suggestions for us! We spend 3 weeks overall at Dinaka (Kalahari Desert), Moremi, Okavango Delta, Savute & Chobe & then 3 days winding down in Victoria Falls. Our Safari was extraordinary. We had the experience of a lifetime! Our guides were extremely skilful and knowledgeable. All the flights, transfers & accommodation was smooth & according to plan. All the meals were delicious & varied - not to mentioned the Sundowners! We witnessed wild animal behaviour in their natural environment and learnt so much - incredible! Lions mating, a zebra kill by lions & an implala kill by a leopard. We also saw hundreds of elephants, many with babies, various antelopes including impala, kudu, wildebeests, baboons, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, guinea fowl etc & various beautiful birds, eagles etc. We also slept under the stars outdoors for 1 night - an amazing experience looking at the brilliant night sky & listening to the animals throughout the night. We would definitely contact Karina again, and another Safari is not off the cards. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a similar experience.

Very knowledgeable guide with amazing viewing experiences!
We had an amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda! Our guide, Bashir, was very knowledgeable about all of the animals in the parks. We started our tour at Tarangire National Park, where we saw countless Gazelle, zebras, wildebeest, monkeys, elephants, baboons, and hyenas. We then proceeded to Serengeti, home of the big cats, and boy was that a treat! We saw four of the big five in the Serengeti. It was like our guide could predict where the animals would be. Oftentimes, our vehicle was the first to arrive to see the marvelous sites. We also learned that cheetahs are critically endangered so the guides are told to interfere and protect the cheetahs when the lions are hunting them. We witnessed a female cheetah with two young cubs being hunted by at least two male lions, and we were able to successfully protect the cheetahs from being chased by the lions by blocking the lions’ path using the vehicle. On top of that, we saw a lioness hunt a hartebeest. It felt like nature was giving us a front row seat to some spectacular performances!
Our group also hosted our own personal chef. He was very personable, funny, and above all, an amazing chef! The food was some of the best I’ve eaten in all of Africa!
Our guide was also very friendly and accommodating.
I would highly recommend using Serengeti Wakanda for safari for anyone looking for an out-of-this world experience for a budget price. The only thing “budget” about four trip were the accommodations, but that was to be expected. We camped in tents for three of the five nights and the bathrooms at the campsites had hot running water and showers. They weren’t luxury and you need to bring your own soap and shampoo, but given that you’re camping in the middle of a national park, I was quite surprised by the level of comfort. The tents were also large enough to stand and they were always set up for us. For the two nights when we weren’t camping, we stayed at the Fig Tree Lodge. The rooms at the lodge were a little dirty with lots of bugs, but the people working at the lodge were very friendly and polite.
If you haven’t made up your mind yet about which company to book your Safari with, look no further. You will definitely be happy with Serengeti Wakanda.

Fantastic
I did the safari with my mum and sister and we really enjoyed it, it was an awesome. The guide know a lot and he explain us everything and answer all our questions.
We choose the the private safari because it was for the last minute and the staff help us organizing everything also the flight from Zanzibar and the taxi to the airport.
In my opinion if you go to Tanzania you need to do a safari is something that you can’t miss.
If I do an other safari will be with this group company.

A great experience in two amazing Kenyan parks
Kenya is a fantastic country. Even with a short stay (1 week) you can feel the strength (and some of the problems) of this country. We have visited two parks (Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) with a competent guide (Geff provided by Kameraz of Africa, our tour operator). Beside the amazing scenery of wild animals living their wild life (lions are simply specials in particular when they look to you from a branch of a tree on which they rest !) , the kindness and efficiency of the staff in the lodges is remarkable. We were a bit puzzled by the Masai culture, go and decide yourself ! Two days in Nairobi were an interesting part of the trip. It gives you the feeling of a dynamic country with a lot of things going on. There are things to see in the city and around. The National Museum is great, feeding a giraffe is a nice experience even if you are not a kid. If you have time do not miss a visit to a coffe farm. To learn everything from the trees and their difficult life in the troubled period of climate change to the roasting of the grain (and finish with a coffee tasting !) is quite an experience.. You can go hiring an Uber taxi for half a day or so. Well.....the downside of Nairobi is the traffic. Difficult to explain if you do not see with your eyes. We felt safe everywhere (we did not do anything unreasonable !) . For eating there is quite a choice. One more thing for the scenery. The high land around 2500 m (even higher sometime) all green and farmed is a scenery not to miss. Conclusion, a trip not to miss !

Wonderful experience
At first I was a little nervous booking from abroad. However, the tour company delivered on all counts! They also found a way to provide all the rental gear that I needed for a reasonable price.
communications: Gift was always contactable.
Service: The climb was a great success. Everything was provided for. The team - porters and guides - were absolutely amazing.
Value for money: I don't think I could have found a better deal.
Reliability: Everything checked out the way it was meant to.
