Excellent Serengeti Wakanda
5/5

We wre a group of 2 families with adult children and we did a 7-day safari with Wakanda Serengeti including Tarangiri, Lake Natron, Northern and Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was a perfectly organized mid-range safari as an alternation of stays in lodges and campsites. The completeness of the safari allowed us to see everything from the big five to the pleasant alternative of Lake Natron with flamingos and swimming in a waterfall.
Aishwarya assisted us impeccably in the organization and perfect choice of stages and stays. In 7 people we had 2 jeeps, one for the parents and one for the children. The guides were always impeccable and ready to respond to every request and resolve any inevitable, unexpected events in these contexts. Isaya the parents' guide was a perfect organizer of all the movements, exceptional driver, very knowledgeable about all the animal species we saw and perfect in choosing the positions with the jeep to see these natural spectacles (we saw the crossing of the Mara river for the great migration, a leopard, cheetahs and all the other big five including the rhino which is more difficult to see in these parts). Simon, the boys' guide, was very empathetic with them and made them have a lot of fun, creating a real friendship. A special mention for our chef Dullah who truly pampered us (italians very attentive to food) with all sorts of delicacies from breakfast to lunch (always hot and served at the table even in the most remote areas of the parks) to dinner. Particularly pleasant was being able to celebrate the birthday of one of the group complete with cake, candles and happy birthday songs from all the staff.
Thank you Serengeti Wakanda for all this and for this unforgettable experience.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Exceptional Service"
5/5

My family recently returned from an incredible 4-day safari with Serengeti Wankada Tours and Safaris, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the moment we landed in northern Serengeti for the migration, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Reuben, was outstanding —his expertise and keen eye ensured we witnessed the Big Five and incredible migration action.

The seamless transition from northern Serengeti to the central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was expertly handled, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable wildlife encounters at every turn. A special shoutout to Aishwarya, who organized the entire trip flawlessly. Her professionalism, excellent communication, and prompt responses made the planning process effortless and enjoyable.

If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience, Serengeti Wankada Tours and Safaris is the way to go. Their exceptional service and attention to detail guarantee a trip you'll remember for a lifetime.

Unforgettable!
5/5

From beginning to end Serengeti Wakanda made our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Communicating with Ushma was easy as we began to plan for our trip. She rearranged our itinerary and provided tips on how to get the most out of our budget and time frame. Our guide Felix was not only an expert on finding the animals (and birds!) but provided such wonderful insight and information about Tanzania’s beautiful country and culture. He started out as our guide but at the end of 5 days became our Rafiki who we will never forget! If you plan on budget camping make sure to bring your appetite because our chef prepared breakfast lunch and dinners fresh, and so much of it! Thank you to Serengeti Wakanda for all your hard work and kindness, we can’t wait to see you again!

Absolute best safari experience !!!
5/5

We spent 6 days doing safaris across Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro area. Everything was perfect and really well organized. Our guide, Andrew, was the best we could have, with lots of experience in safaris as well as fun and a very nice person. The Safari experience was absolutely amazing, going through stunning places and having the chance to see all the animals we could imagine ( many many lions with cubs, leopard, cheetah with cubs, monkeys, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, wild beasts, warthdogs… and so on )
I really recommend this company, they are really professional and they provide accomodations in such luxury and amazing lodges.

Filex can do it all!
5/5

We had the most amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda and Filex! We had never been on safari before and weren’t sure where to start. Beatrice at Wakanda was extremely responsive and helpful in guiding us how to set up the best safari. They were able to completely customize the tour to make sure we had the best experience that was within our budget and we could see everything. Beatrice was very patient with us as we decided on the itinerary and kindly sent over many revisions. Only now that we have finished the safari can we truly understand and appreciate how much time went into planning the details every day including our meals.

As for the tour itself, we were so thankful to have Filex as our amazing guide! He can really do it all and we always knew we were safe and getting the best experience with him. He is very knowledgeable about pretty much everything — we learned a lot about the animals, Maasai culture, Tanzania as a whole, different foods etc. He was able to answer all of our questions and it was evident he enjoyed teaching and serving.

We knew we were in the best hands — not only to get the best safari experience but also where our safety was a priority. For example, during the Great Migration, there were dozens of other tour vehicles there to witness the Mara river crossing; he was always able to get us to the best spot but explained why he was doing certain things to avoid a crazy accident. He knows the area so well and was able to get us to see 4 crossings!! In addition, there were many vehicle breakdowns that we witnessed during the trip (not all preventable, I’m sure); however, Filex was able to explain why certain breakdowns happened and what he does to avoid them. He also helped two vehicles get back on the road given his extensive knowledge in automotives.

Along with other impressive characteristics, we were also blown away with his ability to recognize and spot an animal from very far away while driving in difficult terrain. We were able to see the Big 5 and get the best pictures and experience!

The food that is organized through the company is also very impressive! We never went hungry and we really enjoyed the hot lunches provided. There was a good variety and everything was always fresh. The vehicle itself is sturdy and had everything we needed. Power outlet, wifi, and fridge with water, soft beverages, beer and wine. They were refilled daily so you never have to worry about going thirsty either.

Serengeti Wakanda is extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. We would go through them again and ask for Filex! :)

Amazing experience!
5/5

We loved everything about our experience with Serengeti Wakanda. The communication, planning and booking with the owner Bartho was excellent. He answered all of my questions and walked us through each step.
Our tour guide, Andrew, was over the top amazing! He seemed to have a sixth sense on where to find animals and made sure we had the opportunity to start our days early, as our best sightings often happened first thing in the morning. Andrew shared his knowledge about Tanzanian life and culture in addition to the Maasai and other tribes in the area. Andrew was organized, smart, kind and great with our kids, ages 13 and 11. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend him.
Our cook Dula was fantastic. Honestly felt like we were eating restaurant quality food 3 times a day. He was so much fun to be with and was always warm and kind.
Our last day in Arusha, the guide Ben showed us around the city, took us to unique places to buy gifts and souvenirs. We learned so much from him in just a few hours about life in Tanzania.
We felt the value of what we paid was excellent. Each guide we met spoke very highly of the owner Bartho and how the company is run, including taking good care of his employees.
Highly recommend you book your safari with Wakanda.

Reliable, safe, 5 star treatment at a fair price.
5/5

I discovered Serengeti Wakanda through excellent reviews on the platforms, and I wasn't disappointed at all. From the beginning, it was the company that best served me and instilled confidence among those I contacted. On top of that, it offered the best price. Our guide, Lalashe, led us with great safety and patience, which was certainly fundamental for an excellent experience. We saw many cars with mechanical problems stopped on the road and even two accidents, so a guide who drives safely and a reliable car are essential. Agent Goodluck was very attentive and helped us from day one until the end. The reserved hotels were amazing and contributed to making our vacation great.

Professional, attentive, responsive, good communication
5/5

We went through Serengeti Wakanda Tours for our private safari in Tanzania (contact Bartho via WhatsApp). They managed our safari from arrival to departure from Arusha. We designed with Bartho a 7 days 6 nights package including 5 days of safari as well as visits such as the Maasai market of Arusha, the Maasai village, the orphanage. The parks visited: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara. I wanted to share that I had a great time with our guide Bashir and our cook Msanya. Bashir has 10 years of experience and knows the national parks like the back of his hand. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 as well as many other animals such as elephants, monkeys, baboons, lizards, hyenas, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodiles, gazelles, parrots, birds of all kinds, a serval, a jackal, a snake and the list goes on! Bashir gave us great advice and maximized our time on site so that we could see lots of animals. Msanya cooks very well, he managed the 3 meals a day and he even made us a surprise birthday cake on the last evening. I recommend going through Serengeti Wakanda Tours with my eyes closed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything ❤️

Wakanda is the best Safari company ever!
5/5

We just finished our 7 days private Safari and we couldn’t be much happier. From the beginning of our inquiry, Aishwarya welcomed and satisfied all my requests and was always available to help us.
Best part of the trip is for sure our guide Benji, who made us feeling home and accompanied us in every journey, he’s the best without any doubt! Also food was good and lodges were beautiful. The best Safari company and guide so far!
