Wakanda Forever!!
Operator Name: Wakanda Safari Tours
Contact/Planner: Aishwarya
Guide: Basheer
Day Trip Guides: John and Ben
Tour: 6-Day Serengeti Migration tour including game drives in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, plus a day trip to Materuni Falls.
Overall Experience:
Our experience with Wakanda Safari Tours was nothing short of exceptional. We embarked on the 6-Day Serengeti Migration tour and were treated to unforgettable moments, including witnessing a thrilling river crossing with a crocodile hunt and the rare sighting of a Rhino. The variety of wildlife—from Elephants to Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Hippos, and countless exotic birds—left us in awe. The picturesque views of the migration, with thousands of zebras, wildebeests, impalas, gazelles, and topis, were truly breathtaking.
Accommodations:
They arranged for very comfortable stays, mostly in mid-luxury range sites where cozy beds, private hot showers in the morning and evening, comforting food, and great sunrise and sunset views were standards. Aishwarya meticulously prepared us for each stay, setting clear expectations about what to expect and ensuring every detail was taken care of.
Day Trip to Materuni Falls:
We also took a day trip to Materuni Falls, which was an amazing experience. The hike up to the falls was enjoyable and not too challenging, making it a pleasant experience for everyone. The views along the way were beautiful, and the falls themselves were well worth the effort. We enjoyed a lovely lunch prepared by the Chagga tribe, followed by a visit to a local coffee farm where we had a great time learning about traditional coffee-making processes. We ended the day with a dip in the Chemka Hot Springs. While the springs were refreshing, we expected the water to be warmer.
Special thanks to John and Ben, who made our day trip even more memorable. They went above and beyond by diligently coordinating the transfer of our luggage to a new hotel when our return was delayed, saving us a ton of time and energy late at night. This is yet another example of the exceptional team culture fostered at Wakanda Safari Tours.
Planner (Aishwarya):
Aishwarya understood our preferences perfectly and crafted a flawless itinerary. Despite being vegetarian, our dietary needs were impeccably catered to, even in the remote Serengeti where she arranged delicious spicy Indian meals. Her dedication was evident throughout the two months of planning, always available to address every detail, even beyond regular hours. Her proactive communication ensured a smooth and worry-free experience.
Guide (Basheer):
Basheer was an outstanding guide, combining deep knowledge with exceptional hospitality. His friendly demeanor and patience in explaining every detail enriched our safari experience. His sharp eyesight and expert driving skills ensured we always had the best wildlife sightings, navigating amidst other safari vehicles with tact and consideration. From coordinating with camp staff to packing lunches and setting up meals, Basheer's dedication and sincerity were exemplary. Watching him do what he does from dawn to dusk, I now have a newfound respect for all safari guides. He also extended his care to fellow guides and stranded vehicles, showcasing a true spirit of camaraderie.
Recommendation:
I wholeheartedly recommend Aishwarya, Basheer, John, and Ben of Wakanda Safari Tours to anyone seeking a top-tier safari and adventure experience. Their commitment to excellence and the supportive culture at Wakanda left a lasting impression. Wakanda Safari Tours has undoubtedly set a high standard in the industry. Wakanda forever!

Excellent
Incredible! Our Letaka mobile safari was extraordinary from the start.
First night, just as we had barely sat down to dinner in the bush, a pack of wild dogs raced through camp and killed an impala right in front of us. The wild dogs were followed by a hyena and a jackal. That was a spectacular start to a brilliant trip.
Our guide was excellent, on the morning and afternoon game drives, he tracked lions, leopards, hyenas and more wild dogs with amazing skill, we saw so much wildlife.
The mobile tented camps were in beautiful locations. The camp staff were great and cooked us lovely and varied vegetarian meals and were an awesome team.
Can't recommend the trip highly enough, this was our second safari with Letaka and it was just as good as the first. Thank you Letaka.

A fun and interesting tour of Madagascar
A fun 8 days touring Madagascar. The tour guide MJ was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The guide communicated well and he and the driver were reliable throughout the trip. The company adapted the tour to suit my friend and I and listened to and reacted to feedback from us. The hotels were of good quality and we experienced and learnt many interesting things about Madagascar.

1 Day Safari - Tarangire
We did a 1 day trip safari from Moshi to Tarangire park.
It was a great day, our driver was very nice and friendly, teaching us a lot about the park, the animals etc.
We could see many elephants (even crossing the road), zebras, antilopes, cheetahs, monkeys and even female lions!!
The drive from Moshi was a bit long but worth it.
Many thanks for this great day restful after Kilimanjaro climb.

Excellent
Our recent safari with Morningstar was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we started planning, the team made the process seamless. Our primary contact, Joy, listened intently to our preferences and crafted the perfect itinerary.
We were happy to have Willy as our driver, whose deep knowledge and passion for the African bush was truly impressive.
We appreciated the 3 day spent at Diani beach after a week long safari game drive. We also did Nairobi National Park, but after Maasai Mara and Emboseli it didn’t seem impressive. We liked the restaurant Carnivore they recommended a lot.
All in all, we had a wonderful holiday.
