Our operators, Andrew and Elicana, were knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
Our safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda was nothing short of extraordinary! They flawlessly handled every detail of our trip from the moment we got to the airport to our departure. The attention to detail and customer service throughout let us not worry about a single detail - and we just got to enjoy what we were there for (the animals!).
We could not have had better guides, Andrew and Elicana. There wasn’t a single question about the animals or Tanzanian culture that they couldn’t answer. We could tell that they were highly respected by the other tour guides as well - I feel like we had the best of the best! They were friendly and professional. We miss them already!
The vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped, ensuring we were safe and had clear views of the wildlife. What truly stood out, though, was the personalized approach of the company. They took the time to tailor the experience to our interests, ensuring that we saw the animals and landscapes we most hoped to witness - including a lion kill!
I will be highly recommending Serengeti Wakanda to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. It was an adventure of a lifetime, and we are so grateful for the memories we created in the Serengeti with such a wonderful company.

African’s majestic wildlife
A safari in Tanzania promises an unforgettable adventure, immersing you in some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife and landscapes. Extraordinary tour guide with Felix. Excellent service and great meals.
Top tier tour agency and the best guide in the Serengeti
We did a 6 day safari in early March, including Tarangire, Serengeti (incl Ndutu) and Ngorogoro. This was a trip of a lifetime, filled with thrilling wildlife sightings and an immersion into Tanzanian culture.
This was only possible because we had the best guide, Filex. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend requesting him when booking your safari.
He was able to spot all kinds of wildlife - animals and birds (eg he was the first amongst guides to spot the rare black rhinos in Ngorogoro, spotted lions in trees, and rare birds), and positioned our vehicle to maximise our visibility (important if you want to take photos and videos). He also seemed to have endless knowledge on all the wildlife and shared the facts gradually in a digestible way. He is a true experienced professional - eg seems to know everyone at the sites or tour guides and collects info about the best wildlife locations, sets up our delicious packed lunches carefully, and even organised the collection of some items we forgot at our lodge. He shared stories about Tanzanian life and culture that were educational and entertaining.
Wakanda is an outstanding agency. Ushma was incredibly helpful in organising our itinerary, including phone calls and messages on weekends. She also organised a car transfer from Nairobi to Arusha and a tour of Arusha. Her regular communication throughout was also much appreciated.
The lodges and camps that we stayed at were all incredible - eg delicious food, excellent staff, and well located so we can experience the wildlife even after our game drives finished for the day (eg birds flying around the sites, zebras walking by, countless sounds of lions and hyenas at night!).
We highly recommend this agency and Filex for trip of a lifetime.

Probably the best Safari company in Serengeti
Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris (SWTS) was amazing to work with. We had a group of 14 and our guides Andrew and Eli helped us have the trip of a lifetime. Things that seemed like SWTS did better than most companies:
-The best guides. Andrew and Eli were clearly some of the best guides out there. They gave us really good advice on when to be out and helped us find many cool animal interactions. They also are very funny and have really strong knowledge. You could often hear other guides asking for them on the radio for help because they were clearly more experienced than most
-Good meals. Most companies do boxed lunches for the game drives but SWTS coordinates with the lodging chefs to have a hot lunch prepared for the day. We didn't have to worry about food once our entire trip and ate better than most tour groups.
-Good trip planning. Our safari was 11 days and the progression of the trip and where we visited each day was incredibly well planned out.
-Good communication. I didn't work with him myself since I was not our group's leader but one of the main reasons our planner picked SWTS was because of how good the pre trip communication was, including quote and mapping. The man's name is Goodluck and he is very good at his job.
-Lodging partners are very good. We stayed at Into the Wild Africa, Gnu migration camp, and a fancy lodge. All had top tier service, food, and amenities.

Service-orientated, communicative, highly knowledgeable and kind
I have just completed an 11-day safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda. It was undoubtedly the best holiday of my life and I cannot recommend this company enough.
The trip was for my 30th birthday and included 14 people. I sent inquiries to six tour companies with excellent customer reviews. I received custom itineraries from four of them and decided to go with Serengeti Wakanda based on the price, quality and depth of detail in the itinerary, and great responsiveness to follow up questions. Big thanks to Goodluck in the booking office for being a terrific planner and communicator!
From the moment we landed to the moment we took off, we felt well taken care of. Serengeti Wakanda coordinated transportation to/from the airport and a hotel in Arusha for the nights before and after the safari. They also selected and booked the camps where we stayed within the parks, all of which were fantastic.
Our guides (Andrew and Elli) picked us up from the hotel and remained with us for the duration of our experience, starting with a day trip to Materuni waterfalls and a chance to experience small scale coffee production in the nearby village. Over the course of the next 10 days, we visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorogoro Conservation Area (Ndutu and Ngorogoro Crater), and Lake Manyara NP.
Andrew (Senior Guide) demonstrated a profound understanding of animal behavior, encyclopedic knowledge of everything we encountered, and a mental map of the parks that was truly remarkable. His 11 years of experience as a guide were evident. He correctly predicted animal movements to put us in position for some incredible shots before other jeeps (actually, specialized Toyota Landcruisers) which were competing for the best view. He was able to answer every question we had (and we had a lot) about the animals, environment, weather, and the cultures of Tanzania.
Elli (Junior Guide) brought a similarly impressive knowledge base and an infectious positivity which left us all feeling like he was a close friend by the end of the journey. His 7 years of experience as a guide ensured that no matter which jeep I rode in for the day (Andrew's or Elli's) I was sure to have a great experience.
I have never before been so impressed by the combination of professionalism and personability we experienced with our two guides and I would recommend them 100 times out of 100.
During our time in the parks we managed to see wildebeests and zebras in the (tens of) thousands on the Great Migration (during calving season in Southern Serengeti), the Big Five (lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, elephants), cheetahs, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, jackals, baboons and dozens of other animals in some of the best protected natural spaces remaining on the planet. At the end of the trip, our group tallied over 60 different animals, many of which we saw in large numbers.
In addition to our fantastic guides, Serengeti Wakanda stood out from its competitors with its vehicles and the lunches they provided. We had newer model jeeps with outlets in each seat and they provided a Mi-Fi device to provide wi-fi if we wanted it. Perhaps the most evident differentiator though was lunch. While the vast majority of other groups were provided packed cold lunches (e.g. sandwiches), Serengeti Wakanda coordinated with our camps to have hot lunches (e.g. rice with chicken/beef, lentils) prepared in the morning and kept in insulated pots in the back of the jeep until lunch time. They kindly catered to vegetarians and allergies in the group and the food consistently exceeded our expectations.
This was a once in a lifetime trip and I am grateful to Serengeti Wakanda for exceptional planning and execution.
