Highly effective planner and implementer.
In late January, I had the pleasure of visiting Maasai Mara with Jupicon expeditions. The planning and execution of the entire itinerary by George was seamless. We got to see the big 5, that was the highlight of the experience. I would highly recommend Jupicon expeditions to anyone travelling to Maasai Mara.

Well organized and so much fun
WhatsApp enquiries reply is fast and helpful. Moloko is our driver and tour guide. The best driver ever, like the Formula One leading to chase the animals. She is rich of knowledge, fun and well taking care of everyone. Campsite is new and clean. Family atmosphere here and dinner is tasty. Highly recommend to join.

Exceptional Service and an Unforgettable Chimpanzee Tracking Experience
This must be one of the best companies to deal with in Uganda. Emma is absolutely incredible — professional, proactive, and genuinely committed to delivering the best possible experience.
I recently booked a chimpanzee tracking experience through him, and I encountered unexpected visa issues just before travelling. Instead of simply saying there was nothing he could do, Emma immediately stepped in to help. He first provided me with a contact who specialised in Ugandan visas. When that person did not answer, Emma personally called the embassy and requested that my visa application be treated as a priority. Thanks to his efforts, the visa was approved shortly afterwards.
He truly went above and beyond to ensure my trip to Uganda was not affected. The chimpanzee tracking experience itself was absolutely phenomenal — without question one of the best experiences I have ever had, both in Uganda and anywhere else. I also did gorilla tracking, which was incredible, but the chimpanzee experience was simply unforgettable.
If you are considering an experience in Uganda or thinking about working with Emma, don’t hesitate — just book. He is outstanding, the company is exceptional, and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them.
Highly recommended.

Amazing ans very informative.
Our four-day tour at Maasai Mara was absolutely amazing. A big part of what made the experience so enjoyable was our tour guide, Roseline. She was very patient, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. She explained everything clearly, which made the entire tour both exciting and informative.
The marketing manager, Mitchel, was also exceptional. She coordinated everything perfectly, making the whole process smooth and stress-free for us.
I highly recommend Tedio Tours and Travel, and I will definitely choose them again!

Prime Safaris delivered a warm, seamless, and unforgettable adventure.
Our group of six travelled through Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda with Prime Safaris in Nov/Dec 2025, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. Coordinating a multi‑country trip can be complex, but Cate’s exceptional support—both before and during the journey—made everything run smoothly. Her help was especially invaluable when we encountered unexpected issues with our visitor visas.
Our drivers—Alex, Ernest, and Ananias—were outstanding. They combined professionalism with deep knowledge and pride in their countries, always going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and engaged. We appreciated the personal touches they each brought to the trip: sharing local food and music, finding the perfect vantage points for wildlife viewing, planning a surprise sundowner, and even singing Christmas carols together. These moments made the experience truly special.
Prime Safaris delivered a warm, seamless, and unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend them.

A dream safari that exceeded every expectation
This entire trip exceeded all of our expectations.
We did a 6-day safari during the February calving season, visiting Ndutu, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro as a group of four. Highly recommended Ndutu during calving season as this is only area can do off-road game drive, which allows you to see animals extremely close. Before booking, I contacted 30 safari operators that I shortlisted and compared everything — accommodations, vehicles (AC was important to us), pricing, and communication. Gosheni stood out immediately for their professionalism and responsiveness.
A big thanks to Herman for helping us choose the best travel window to reduce the chance of heavy rain while maximizing our chances of seeing newborn animals. His communication was prompt, and he handled every question and adjustment quickly and professionally while we refined the itinerary.
And a huge shout-out to our guide, Bariki — he truly made our dream safari come true. First, his knowledge and professionalism were outstanding. His understanding of the Serengeti ecosystem is incredibly deep. He can spot animals from miles away, knows their territories, and always knew how to track the specific animals we hoped to see. Every sighting came with fascinating explanations of animal behaviour, and he patiently answered every question we had — even random questions about plants we noticed along the road.
Second, his driving and problem-solving skills were exceptional. This turned out to be incredibly important on the muddy and flooded roads of Ndutu and the Serengeti. He always knew alternative routes, could quickly adjust plans when conditions changed, and consistently got us to the right place at the right time.
Finally, he has a fantastic eye for photography and safari experience. He knew the best angles, positioned the vehicle perfectly for lighting, and helped us capture amazing photos throughout the trip.
During our 5 days of game drives (plus 1 transit day), we saw everything we hoped for and more: the Big Five, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, wildebeest, zebras, many birds and antelope — and baby animals almost everywhere thanks to calving season. The highlight of the trip was witnessing a successful cheetah hunt, which was unforgettable. Thanks to Bariki again for spotting and predicting the hunting!
I arrived hoping to see specific animals and behaviours, and left with so much knowledge, appreciation, and love for safari. We will definitely be back for another trip.

Accurate
Well done Samora! We spent great 6 days, Iddy been taking care about us and our requests from months before our arrival. He create the best safari itinerary for us in more than 2/3 different options and different budgets. Reggie, our Safari guide was the cherry on top! Took us to the best spots, spotted so many animals from far away and give us a lot of explanation about all the species. In addition, all the lodge and tented camp that they booked for us were amazing!

We had great experience with the ageny and our guide Edward
We contacted multiple agencies and settled with RO because of the combination of reasonable price and good communication (special shout out to Silas). I'm pleased to say that they lived up to our expectations and went beyond it on multiple occasions to give us a safari experience we treasured much. Our driver and guide Edward is a disciplined guy who always keep the car tidy and a professional who knows what his doing when looking for animals. For gaming drives, having the right guide really makes all the difference and for us Edward is the guy. For multiple times, we were the first to spot lion/cheeta/leopard because of Edward. And when others share locations where animals can be found, he is quick to get there. He also accommodated us for early start of the day to have the best chance of seeing the big cats and drived us for long hours to help us capture as much as possible. It is also a very heart warming surprise that the director Robert prepared us a gift for our honeymoon. So all in all, I would sincerely recommend RO's service to travelers interested in safari. We had a great time.

A Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Safari – Serengeti Wakanda Tours Is Truly the Best!
My fiancée and I have just completed the 4‑Day Fly‑In Zanzibar to Northern Circuit Classic Safari, and choosing Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris was the best decision we made for our trip. From the first enquiry to the final drop‑off, everything was perfectly organised, warm, and deeply memorable.
Our Guide – Zephania (Request Him!)
We cannot recommend Zephania enough. With more than 10 years of guiding and game‑driving experience, he was trusting, kind, incredibly polite, and always made us feel safe. His knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, predators, prey, birds, trees (like the Serengeti acacia and Tarangire’s iconic baobab), rivers (including the origins of the Seronera and Tarangire rivers), tribes, and local history made every moment meaningful.
One of the best parts of travelling with him was the early 6:15 am starts, which meant we consistently beat the rush. Because of this, we enjoyed quiet sightings—including witnessing a pride of lions feasting on their kill with only two other vehicles around. Thanks to his dedication, we saw the Big 5 and several rare animals.
If you book with Wakanda Tours, ask specifically for Zephania. He is exceptional at what he does and simply a wonderful person to share this journey with.
Lala Salama Luxury Tented Camp – Our Favourite Stay Ever
Our two nights at Lala Salama Camp in the Serengeti were truly unforgettable. The camp was luxurious, welcoming, and exceeded expectations in every way. The team—especially Charles—made us feel instantly at home. The food was outstanding, and the picnic lunch boxes were far superior to the basic paper‑bag lunches we saw from other operators.
Sleeping under the Serengeti sky with the sounds of lions, buffalos, and hyenas nearby was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. Our only regret: not staying longer.
A Magical Surprise Engagement During the Night Time Bush Dinner
We decided to opt in for the Night Time Bush Dinner, and it became the most unforgettable night of our lives. The Lala Salama team and Zephania secretly collaborated to create the most beautiful surprise engagement. The special dinner, the setup, the care, and the warmth of everyone involved made it a moment we will treasure forever.
Smooth, Professional Planning From Start to Finish
A special thank‑you to Aishwarya, whose quick communication, clarity, and friendliness made the entire planning and booking process effortless.
We did thorough research before booking, and Serengeti Wakanda came out on top for both price and itinerary. Now that we've experienced it ourselves, it’s clear why they hold consistent 5‑star reviews. The thoughtful welcome pack—including Masai blanket, Wakanda Forever T‑shirts, and mugs—was a lovely extra touch.
Final Thoughts
We wouldn’t book with anyone else. Serengeti Wakanda provides excellent value for money (~$4,000 for 2 people across 4 days), genuine hospitality, deep respect for guests, and a level of luxury without the high‑end price tag of many competitors.
Another reason we wholeheartedly recommend them is that Serengeti Wakanda is a locally based Arusha company, which truly shows in the experience. Their costs are reasonable because you’re booking directly with the people on the ground, and the level of care, cultural insight, and pride they bring is something international operators simply cannot match.
To anyone planning a safari:
Book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Request Zephania. Stay at Lala Salama Camp.
You’ll be cared for, inspired, and given memories you’ll carry for life.
