Would give 6 stars if we could, 100% recommended ★
We booked a tour for Amboseli and Tsavo East, we stayed at Kibo Safari Camp and Salt Lick Lodge. Everything was arranged perfectly, also with regards to some allergies I have - Tammy passed on everything and everything was taken into account by the hotel managers.
Our driver, Morris, was amazing too! He knew a lot about the environment and all the animals, was very kind and helpful and helped us spot almost all animals we wished for (unfortunately, the leopard stayed hidden..). Before, during and after the trip we had contact with Tammy during WhatsApp, and she even came to visit us at the end of our trip to check if everything was okay.
We already recommended Tammy Tours to our friends in real life, but once again online as well: if you're looking for a perfect safari, this is your place to be!

The BEST of the best!
Bernhard & Hennie Bekker deliver it ALL! From the moment we arrived at Kruger, they worked their magic and made our private safari one of the BEST vacations we have had...EVER!
The Bekker brothers know Kruger. They know where the animals are and are masters at finding them and getting the safari vehicle in the perfect position to get amazing photos. Their knowledge of the myriad of species in Kruger is impressive; they have their iPad ready to go, so in the rare event they do not know the species, they look it up!! Both are accomplished photographers so really know how to work with the light to give you the best chance at nailing the perfect photo. Their open safari vehicle is a photographer's dream, equipped with mounted tripods and bean bags. And their ability to spot animals constantly amazed my husband and myself. They seriously must have 10/10 vision...lol.
We spent 6 amazing days in 2 locations ; Satara and Skukuza. And we saw it all...lions, Casper the white lion, leopards, wild dogs, rhinos, cheetahs, buffalos, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hyena, black-backed jackals, dozens of bird species, and even a flap-necked chameleon! Every day we were more amazed than the day before; it was a safari photographers and animal lovers dream.
Traveling from the U.S. with the current chaos with air travel, we had 2 flights cancelled and ended up getting to the park 2 days late. Bernhard and Hennie took care of the reservation changes needed in the park making our delay no big deal. They were even able to extend our trip with them 2 extra days to make up for the days we missed due to our cancelled flights. They picked us up at Skukuza Airport, and also picked up a 600mm lens I had rented from Hilton Kotze with Africa Photographic Services so it was ready for me to use as soon as we arrived. Bernhard even met us in the park at the end of our trip (we spent an additional 12 days on our own in the park) to retrieve the lens so I didn't have to deal with returning it.
If you are considering a safari trip to South Africa, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Private Kruger Safaris. This was our 2nd trip with them, we will most definitely be back, and I wouldn't consider using anyone else. They really are the BEST of the best!!

Amazing trip made by an amazing guide
We had an incredible adventure that is difficult to capture in words. Firstly our guide, Andrew, was not only a fountain of knowledge on wildlife and local culture (being half Masai himself) he was also very kind, humble and funny sharing many great stories with us over a cold beer. He went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience and we left with the feeling we’d made a good friend. Secondly, we had the chef par excellence, Abdullah, who made sure we had delicious food every day and were the envy of other tour groups.
Coming from South Africa I’ve done a lot of safaris but this was extra special, and I’d recommend it to anyone that wants an adventure with kind, knowledgable and thoughtful guides. You won’t regret going worth Wakanda that’s for sure!

Great tour to Gombe park
We had a great tour arranged by Donatus to Gombe national park. Everything was well arranged and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our chef took great care of us and the accommodation was perfect; it was magical sleeping next to the lake in a glamping tent between the monkeys. Can definitely recommend!

A wonderful experience from a fantastically well run company!
Our safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours was totally unforgettable. From the moment of booking Bartho was easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful, answering all our questions well and quickly. Our guide Louis was lovely and was excellent at finding the animals - we can't believe how much we were able to see. The food is also brilliant and we were very impressed with how much delicious food our chef Suli could make with the limited camping cooking equipment available! Would 100% recommend this company for an unforgettable experience and fantastic value for money. Thanks a lot Wakanda Tours!

Professional and kept communication open at all times.
Lydia kept communication open at all times that gave peace of mind. The value of the tour excellent. Good lodges, food, hot showers, towels and toiletries. The views were exceptional from the lodges and viewing areas. The safari guide driver Jeff was knowledgeable, professional, safe driver and always checking on our well being and safety. For the price and value you can’t ask for more. The dream of a lifetime was well met.

Such a great climbing experience-machame route Kilimanjaro
Couldn’t have asked for a better tour company on our climb up Kilimanjaro! We all made it to summit and we couldn’t have done it without our team and guides. Freddie was the best motivator and also so knowledgeable about the surroundings as well as making sure we were taken care of. Friday and Hendry were awesome assistant guides. We felt so safe and taken care of. I seriously cannot say enough good things about our experience. Would recommend to anyone that’s wanting to climb Kilimanjaro! Amazing views and an amazing team. Doesn’t get much better!

Wonderful organisation
The communication by email with the tour operator was great and rapid. The organisation of the safari was good and balanced, not too tiring and not too relaxed. Wonderful landscapes and we spotted all the possible animals, big 5 included!
