Unforgettable experience!
5/5

We went on a 4-day safari and it was an incredible experience. The company has proven to be a reliable and efficient organization. Beatrice, the person we worked with from the beginning, was quick and objective in clarifying all our doubts. Benji, our guide during the 4 days of safari was friendly, knowledgeable about fauna and flora and tireless so that we could make the most of the experience. All meals served were hot and of very good quality and the all the accommodation were great. All in all, it exceeded my expectations!

Exceptional Safari Experience with Wakanda Serengeti and Guide Benji
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Wakanda Serengeti. Our guide, Benji, was so kind and attentive, we could not have been better taken care of.

Right from the start, our flight into Kilimanjaro was delayed, and yet the lady arranging everything through Whatsapp was very understanding and helped us get to our overnight stay (booked by us outside of the tour) even though it was well into the late hours of the evening.

Then during the following days Benji was just amazing. Extremely knowledgeable of the environment around us, ready to answer any questions we may have and very outgoing and open, making it very easy and pleasant to spend 4 days with him.

The food served at lunch was tasty, warm, and plentiful. The stays were all amazing and a lot of “bang for your buck”.

To sum up, I wholeheartedly recommend this company and I especially recommend Benji as your tour guide.

The most wonderful safari experience 🫶🏻
5/5

From the first moment we engaged with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris months in advance, that we knew we were dealing with a group of trustworthy and caring people, striving to meet our needs and desires on our safari trip. Communication was always quick and everything was detailed in advance regarding payments, hotels, travel plans, transfers.

Despite offering us an option of an hotel in Arusha for the night before the safari, we opted to book one ourselves. Nevertheless, they assured our transfer from the airport to the hotel on the day before the safari started, even after a 2h delay of our flight.

The 4-day safari was absolutely perfect. Our guide Benjamin had a perfect eye and experience at spotting wild animals and was always keen to answer all our questions. The warm lunch every day was super tasty and the hotels provided were absolutely stunning, with lovely decoration and breathtaking views and kind people in each one.

In summary, we totally recommend you booking your safari with this company. You will have a wonderful experience and accompanied by extremely warm people. Although all guides should be great, we have to highlight Benji as a great company for your safari.

Simple Amazing!
5/5

It was a wonderful journey! We did the Comfort-Tour for 5 days but it felt more like the luxury Tour; the campsites we're wonderful, the tents just amazingly nice and the Staffel was always friendly and helpful.

The Wakanda-Staff was very nice and helpdesk us to make this Trip an unforgetable experiences.

Andrew, our guide,knows the parks like no other and always picked the best spots; thanks to him we saw more animals than we could wish for (e.g. all of the Big5 and Ugly5 and many others). Also he was a blast to hang around, always funny and helpful. We could not with for a bester Guide!

Thanks Andrew! And Wakanda forever!

care and detail
5/5

We had a wonderful experience with this agency and with the driver Zefa, who spoke Italian very well, knew the places and the animals.
the agency also takes great care of its customers, with small daily attentions, great care in cleaning both the jeep and the tents on the campsite.
The chef's cuisine is also excellent, as he follows you step by step throughout the Safaris.
If you are Italian, ask for Zefa to be your guide!
Super recommended tour.. it will be a once in a lifetime experience!

Professional, kind, with great service
5/5

What a great experience. My husband and I booked a two-day safari tour and were and still are very impressed. Our first contact with Wakanda Tours was USHMA, she always responded very quickly, kindly and competently. Unbelievable. We booked a private tour - and EDWARD was our guide. We really couldn't have had a better guide. He provided us with an excellent travel service - he was always very attentive, friendly and helpful. And always with a smile on his face. We met as strangers but after the tour we felt connected. It was an amazing trip. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will come back.

Amazing wildlife safari in Tanzania
5/5

We recently completed an incredible 8-day safari with Wakanda Safari, exploring Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. This experience was not only filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters but also enriched by cultural insights and delicious cuisine, thanks to our talented guide, Felix, and our fantastic chef, Dullah.

Our journey took us through diverse landscapes, each offering a unique view of Tanzania’s stunning nature. We even made a special stop in Mto wa Mbu (Mosquito Town) for a bike tour, which provided a chance to experience Tanzanian culture firsthand. Camping in the heart of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Falling asleep to the sounds of hyenas and waking up to the calls of lions in the early morning, with zebras and baboons roaming near the camp, gave the adventure an exhilarating edge.

One of the most memorable moments was a segment of the safari where Felix guided us against the flow of the Great Migration. This allowed us to observe the organized movement of zebras, wildebeests, and buffaloes up close, with zebras leading the way. Alongside this spectacle, we had the thrill of spotting the full "Big Five"—lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffaloes—as well as baby lions and elephants. The “Ugly Five”—hyenas, warthogs, vultures, marabou storks, and wildebeests—were also fascinating to encounter. Visits to the hippo pools allowed us to see these enormous animals in their element, and the skies were filled with eagles, vultures, and other birds of prey, adding to the diverse wildlife experience.

Felix was an extraordinary guide whose keen eyes could spot animals with the naked eye that we struggled to see even with binoculars. While birds are his specialty, his knowledge of animal behavior is extensive, and he continuously shared insights that enhanced our understanding and appreciation of each sighting. Felix’s dedication was evident in his commitment to helping us see the full "Big Five" and in his careful attention to every aspect of our journey. Alongside his skills as a guide, he provided rich stories about the Maasai people and other aspects of Tanzanian culture, which added a profound cultural depth to our safari. His skillful driving on sometimes challenging terrain also ensured that our experience was both safe and comfortable.

Dullah delighted us every day with his culinary skills. Despite working in a camp kitchen, he managed to prepare restaurant-quality meals, including freshly baked bread, lasagna, pancakes, pizza, curries, salads, and even desserts. His “Magic Box”—a metal box he used as an oven on a coal barbecue—allowed him to create dishes we never imagined possible in the wilderness. Our meals became a highlight of each day, and Dullah’s talent and creativity were obvious. His reputation extended beyond our group, as other chefs and tour guides often stopped by, envious of the incredible meals he prepared. Dullah is well known among guides as one of the best chefs, and it was easy to see why. His food brought warmth and comfort to our camping experience, and his dedication was truly appreciated.

The safari vehicle was spacious and very comfortable, which made the longer drives enjoyable. The large 4WD had roomy seats, even for someone over 6 feet tall, and the open roof offered spectacular views of the landscape and wildlife. With convenient features like phone chargers and optional Wi-Fi, we felt both connected and well-cared for throughout our journey.

We were glad to know that Wakanda Safari is proudly Tanzanian-owned and operated, as supporting a locally-owned business made the experience even more meaningful. One of the most rewarding aspects of this safari was the learning beyond the wildlife. Thanks to Felix and Dullah, we gained meaningful insights into Tanzanian culture, traditions, and cuisine. This cultural layer made the experience much richer and added an unforgettable dimension to our adventure.

Our 8-day safari with Wakanda Safari exceeded every expectation. The journey was perfectly organized, blending thrilling wildlife encounters, cultural learning, and wonderful food. We absolutely recommend this safari to anyone who is up for an amazing adventure!

A huge thank you to Felix and Dullah for making this journey so memorable. We’re grateful for your hard work and the unforgettable experience you both gave us. Thank you for everything!
