A truly 5 star, bucket-list experience!
5/5

Undoubtedly one of the most memorable 4 days of our lives filled with tons of animal sightings across spellbinding landscapes. Aishwarya was very prompt, professional and accommodating with all our requests. Her communication and guidance was top-notch. Our safari guide Felix was exemplary - extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and an expert driver. There was never a dull or unsafe moment with Felix at the wheel. We cannot thank and recommend the Serengeti Wakanda team enough!

Most memorable experience
5/5

We had booked our dream safari with Serengeti Wakanda many months back and were suppose to travel in July 2024, but due to some issues with my daughter's passport we couldn't make it in July. Wakanda were very kind and allowed us to change the dates for October of this year. Aishwarya who was handling the whole tour made sure of all the arrangements of our trip. Everything was meticulously was arranged which allowed for our special diet and also we need only one room with three beds which was also taken care of very brilliantly. From the day we arrived Aishwarya and Andrew, our safari guide, ensured we would have an incredible experience. What we experienced was beyond of what we expected in the safari. There was nothing that was disappointing. Definitely we made good friend with our guide Andrew and also definitely we shall use Aishwarya at Wakanda again for the safari to Tanzania.

Guide, knowledge, vehicule, lunch.. all is perfect ! I recommande Serengeti Wakanda tours at 100%!
5/5

The compagny of Serengeti Wakanda tours ans safari was very professional from start to finish. Very good organisation, the lodges selected were exceptionnal.
Our guide (Bashir) spoke perfectly french to explain with a lot of knowledge during the safari. He is a very good driver and know on witch place found the animale.
The vehicule is full equiped: energy, WiFi, fridge, binoculars,..
The food was very good ! With Serengeti Wakanda you have a hot lunch serve on a plate (not a small sandwich). Drinks are provided during all the safari.
So in conclusion: itt's my first time in safari and i think it's difficult to found a better team!
Thanks Bashir, thanks Serengeti Wakanda, asante sana

Very knowledgeable about everything in Tanzania
5/5

We had a wonderful time on the 6 night safari witg Serengeti Wakanda. During booking Aishwarya was incredibly helpful, responsive and was able to answer all of our questions and alter the itinerary to make it perfect for us. Our guide Bashiri was wonderful company and amazing at finding all of the animals. We were able to see and get close to the big five plus countless other animals and birds. It was truly a dream come true and a wonderful adventure for our first time in Africa. The tour was reliable and delivered on everything in the itinerary with the accommodations surpassing our expectations. We felt safe and welcomed everywhere we went. The only add on we regretted was the balloon safari which was very expensive and not worth the money, mainly due to our pilot not taking us up high despite the other three balloons going way up in the air. We spent most of the ride just above the grass so the view was not much different than the jeep. Overall we would definitely book with Serengeti Wakanda again!

Excellent bespoke service
5/5

After much research we chose Wakanda for our once in a lifetime Honeymoon trip to Tanzania and could not have been more happy with our choice.
Before our adventure started I communicated with Aishwarya and together we planned our itinerary, she was very responsive to all of my requests and nothing was too much trouble. There are many tour operators offering safaris and Kilimanjaro treks and I narrowed my selection down to 3 companies but the main thing that swayed my decision was the fact that when I decided to add on internal flights at the start of the safari Aishwarya did not take advantage and charge me a ridiculous sum for which I knew were cheap flights. The other 2 companies wanted to charge me nearly £300 each for the same flights Wakanda offered me for £100, this is when I knew I could trust this company.
We decided to fly from Arusha to Northern Serengeti to avoid the long drive to the starting destination (I highly recommend this). We were met at the airstrip by Aishwarya our personal photographer and Edward our guide and driver. The Land Rover they supplied for our safari was perfect, clean comfortable, spacious and with the opening roof it had excellent viewing possibilities. Edward was very proud of his Land Rover and kept it clean and tidy at every opportunity. We drove a short distance from the airstrip and Edward quickly gave us our first animal sighting, a small group of elephants. We kept seeing Zebra and deer and wanted to stop to take pictures but on Edward's advice we carried straight to the river where after a short wait we were privileged to see our first wilder beast river crossing. We quickly learnt to take the expert advice of Edward as he had expert knowledge of the best way to see the animals. We were awestruck with the wilder beasts crossing the river and it was so nice to be able to just watch and take in the whole amazing spectacle without having to worry about taking poor iPhone pictures knowing Aishwarya was capturing everything on her huge telephoto camera. Within the space of 2 hours we had ticked off 2 of the big 5 (elephant and buffalo) and seen a big migration crossing, a brilliant start to our 6 day safari.
As the evening approached we headed to our first migration camp, Camp Zebra. It was referred to as a tented accommodation but we have never seen tents like this before, it was more like a spacious cabin with a king size bed and a full en-suite toilet and shower, this definitely felt like luxury accommodation. Aishwarya's accommodation recommendations for this night and every other night were brilliant and could not be faulted. The food served in the mess tent was excellent as was the packed lunch supplied by each camp for the next day. I say packed lunch but in reality it was far better than that, Edward had a fully equipped large picnic hamper with insulated stainless steel bowls which were filled each day with hot delicious food which were served to us with a lovely glass of wine in the most amazing scenic locations. We travelled long distances each day with Edward guiding us to perfect animal encounters and sharing his knowledge of the area and animal behaviour along the way, there was always something new and exciting to look at each day. Whenever we saw animals Edward would position us perfectly to observe them and Aishwarya would take the most amazing close up photos for us. I was surprised how close we actually got to the animals. I thought we would be observing animals from a distance with binoculars but I was totally wrong, we got very close with the animals, often walking (or running in the case of the cheetahs we saw hunting) in front of the vehicle. Edward and Aishwarya were a great team who were a pleasure to be with on our long and exciting adventure and they felt like friends by the end of the safari, they enabled us to see all of the big 5 and much much more, they definitely exceeded our expectations of what a safari should be and we highly recommend asking for them if you book with Wakanda. Aishwarya was passionate about her photography and took many pictures of the animals and also of us, this was definitely a huge bonus as we did not return with loads of poorly taken selfies but with expertly edited professional photos which we will treasure forever.
Edward, Aishwarya, Daniel, Goddy and all of the porters made our honeymoon perfect and we cannot thank you all enough.
If you are looking for bespoke reasonably priced adventure of a lifetime then we definitely highly recommend Wakanda Safari and Tours.
P.S on our return Aishwarya sent us all of the beautiful professional photos she had taken with no charge. They were amazing!

Efficient and professional
5/5

Thank you to Andrew and Dulah for giving us this incredible experience. I am leaving with my head full of memories and can't wait to relive it one day.
Thank you both for giving everything to our side to find the animals, thank you for your kindness.
Dulah, THE best cook, thank you for spoiling us so much every day, and for making us discover new flavors and new ways of doing things.
Andrew, lynx eyes for a golden guide, able to spot all the animals 200m away (without binoculars), thank you for your jokes, thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank you for your anecdotes.
Thank you for all these shared moments, these laughs, these discoveries, I had an incredible safari and I recommend it to everyone. We were able to see a whole bunch of animals (lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, servants, buffalo, wildebeest, monkeys, zebras, flamingos, birds, mongoose etc ...) and discover magnificent landscapes, thanks to them. Andrew and Dulah the best duo, a sure bet to enjoy magical moments.

The most beautiful experience of my life
5/5

We went with my friends to Tanzania this fall and chose the company Wakanda Serengeti Tours.
We were able to compose our safari stay according to our desires. Before the trip, the organization was fast and efficient.
Once there, the welcome was immediately very warm. During the safari, the guide Andrew spoke French and English. He knows the country, the parks and the animals like the back of his hand. He was very involved during the tour, extremely kind and infinitely benevolent. Thanks to him, we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see, even the rarest!
We were also accompanied by Dulah the chef, who prepared us dishes of immense quality, with fresh and varied products with a unique know-how throughout the circuit.
The experience clearly exceeded our expectations and we are very sad that it is already over. We will come back to do a safari with this same team without a doubt.
Thank you for everything
