The Best Safari Operator
5/5

My safari with Serengeti Wakanda in Tanzania was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned, allowing us to maximize our time in the stunning Serengeti and the Tarangire, Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater parks.
Our guides Andrew and Eli were truly exceptional—fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They had a deep understanding of the wildlife, the terrain, and the best times and places to spot the animals. Thanks to their expert positioning and keen instincts, we saw the Big Five up close, were the first to witness a large lion pride eating a wildebeest breakfast, and even caught a rare glimpse of a leopard lounging in a tree and jumping from branch to branch.
Every detail was taken care of, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The accommodations and food were fantastic, and the team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
If you're looking for a safari company that combines expert guiding with top-notch planning, look no further. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I can’t recommend Serengeti Wakanda enough! Thank you for making our dream safari a reality!

Trio of a Lifetime!
5/5

Just got home from our 10-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and can’t stop thinking about!

From start to finish, the trip was incredibly planned and executed to perfection — all thanks to Goodluck’s coordination and our wonderful guides, Andrew and Eli!

While the wildlife and nature was awesome, it was really Andrew and Eli who made this experience truly amazing. I don’t think there was a single question that they couldn’t answer, and their expertise and knowledge allowed us to see the most special things — from a lion hunt, to rare bat eared foxes to hidden leopards!! Andrew and Eli were also so informative, skillful, funny, and kind — still can’t get over how they were able to drive massive cars on rough terrain, spot animals, and answer our questions all at the same time!

Truly can’t recommend this group enough!!

Exceptional Tanzania Safari Experience A Trip to Remember!
5/5


Our recent Tanzania safari was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the incredible team that made every moment special. From the moment we inquired about the tour, Mr. Good Luck ensured a seamless booking process with his prompt responses and excellent organization. His attention to detail made the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable.

A special thank you to our tour guide, Mr. Bashir, whose expertise and deep knowledge of the wildlife made our safari truly unforgettable. His fine skills in spotting animals, from the elusive big cats to the majestic elephants, ensured that we experienced the very best of Tanzania’s breathtaking wilderness.

And what’s a great adventure without great food? Mr. Dulah, the best chef, treated us to warm, delicious meals every day, making sure we were well-fed and energized throughout our journey. His culinary skills added an extra layer of comfort to our trip.

Traveling with my wife and children, I was initially concerned about the challenges of a safari, but the entire team went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. The hospitality, organization, and warmth we received made this trip truly unforgettable.

I highly recommend this safari experience to anyone looking for a well-planned, exciting, and family-friendly adventure. Thank you once again to Mr. Good Luck, Mr. Bashir, and Mr. Dulah for making this a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

The Best Safari Experience – 100% Worth It!
5/5

Our 10-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Guide Company was truly unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guides, Andrew and Eli. Their expertise was incredible—they always knew where and when to find the animals, even the elusive leopards, and they were never wrong! They answered every question with deep knowledge about wildlife, the Serengeti, Arusha, and Tanzania.

Beyond their skills, they were funny, friendly, and an absolute joy to be around. Their passion made the experience even more special, and I can honestly say this was the best trip I’ve ever been on (or probably ever will be)! If you’re planning a safari, Andrew and Eli are definitely the guides you want. I would highly recommend!

Additionally, for the price, the trip was absolutely worth it. All hotels and campsites were comfortable and well-chosen, with friendly staff who accommodated any dietary restrictions. A special thanks to Goodluck for organizing everything so seamlessly!

Experience of a lifetime
5/5

While I was researching for Safari in Tanzania, Serengeti Wakanda tours was a name that popped in multiple bloggers recommendation. I also saw good reviews. I emailed multiple companies. What initially attracted me was their prompt response. Aishwarya from Serengeti Wakanda was very patient enough to work with us to get the best experience that fits our budget. She Made sure we get the best experience for a lifetime. The guide Basheer was extremely knowledgeful and resourceful and thanks to him we were able to spot a wide variety of wildlife including all big five. I strongly recommend them

Unforgettable days
5/5

Une super experience avec un guide génial.
Cerise sur le gateau, il parle super bien français. Le decor est grandiose mais c'est la nature et voir des lions, des rhinocéros ne peuvent etre certifié et Ztefa a tous donné pour cela. Un grand merci pour ces deux inoubliables journées.

A great experience with an awesome guide. The icing on the cake (feench expressions) is that he speaks French really well. The decor is amazong but it is nature and seeing lions and rhinoceroses cannot be certified and Ztefa gave everything for that. A big thank you for these two unforgettable days

7 days Wakanda couple Safari
5/5

My wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a unique experience for our honeymoon: a safari in Tanzania!
After getting about 20 quotes, we found a good value for money with Wakanda.
With Beatrice's help, we were able to arrange all activities according to our needs, including transportation to and from Kilimanjaro airport.
In Arusha we found Zepha waiting for us, our guide who joined us for all seven days Safari.
We had a very good time with him, an experienced guide with more than 10 years of experience, and Italian speaker.
Zepha helped make the experience unique and unforgettable, explaining interesting facts about the animals, taking us to the boundless trails of Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro national parks, and reaching out to other guides to show us all the animals on our wish list.
We appreciated Zepha's attention to detail, such as cleaning the car inside and out every time it got dirty from dust and mud and choosing viable routes based on how muddy the roads were.
We also appreciated the Wakanda logo gifts given to us upon arrival.
Other positive notes were the wi-fi available in the car, drinks always available, and lunch with cooked food (not the classic lunch box).
10/10 experience!
Even though there was no good weather, having just one day of sunshine, we were able to see lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and so many other animals!
ASANTE SANA!

The Perfect Trip!
5/5

—Summary—
The Safari = 5 stars (thanks to our amazing guide, Bashiri!)
Booking, food & accommodation = 5 stars (thanks to Ushma and all of the lodging staff!)
Value = 5 stars

—Why Wakanda—
1) Value for money - If you are considering more expensive, seemingly more luxurious options: rest assured you will not be missing out on any luxuries by choosing Wakanda. If you are considering a cheaper option - spend the extra few dollars to ensure you leave Tanzania having had the best trip of your life.

2) Guide - your safari guide will be central to everything you experience while on the safari and having a good guide is the difference between seeing 5 lions vs 50 lions, sharing fun anecdotes vs sitting in awkward silence, feeling comfortable and welcome vs feeling anxious, etc. With Serengeti Wakanda, you will have an excellent guide.

3) Booking process - the sample itineraries are fantastic starting points, but you will want to be closely involved in choosing the final version. Doing so requires helpful and communicative staff who are happy to answer questions and tweak your itinerary until you think it’s ready - with Wakanda, you will certainly have this.


-Details-

—Booking—
Ushma was very helpful and patient in helping us customize the itinerary and was always quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the trip. We received our first itinerary/quote right away and after a couple weeks of emailing and maybe 6 or so different itineraries, we settled on something that felt perfect.

—Our Guide—
From the start, Bashiri was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, teaching us about the local history and culture as we drove from Arusha to Tarangire. It seems obvious now, but having never done a safari, I did not fully appreciate how crucial your guide is in shaping your experience - choosing the right unmarked paths to wander down in the parks, spotting animals that you would never notice on your own, teaching you about the animals and landscape, and just generally making you feel welcome and comfortable in a new place. In all of these regards and more, we could not have asked for a better guide than Bashiri.

The other guides we met from Wakanda at the lodges and lunch sites all seemed great as well - Mandela was always very kind and seemed to have a great sense of humor.

—The Safari—
Our route, over 6 days: Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater.

By the end, we had seen all of the famous big 5 and so much more. And we saw them all so up close, within a couple of meters! Except for the notoriously shy rhinos of Ngorongoro Crater, who we watched from a distance through our binoculars.

Each of the parks was unique and had something the others didn’t, be it the landscape or a certain species of animals. For me, nothing tops the beauty of the endless Serengeti plains, though - Bashiri took us to a remote part of the park where you could look in every direction and scarcely see another jeep roaming around. There, we came across a massive herd of zebras and got to watch them perform their “dust baths”, shortly followed by a close encounter with a solo male elephant.

—The Accommodation (and food)—
Each night was really good and 6/8 nights were what I would classify as luxurious by any standard. The other 2 nights were certainly luxurious by ‘camping’ standards - I highly recommend staying in the migration camps for a night or two, where it feels like you’re really in the wild and can hear lions roaring at night, which was admittedly a terrifying experience at the time but is now a great memory.

Special shoutout to the Signature Serengeti luxury ‘campsite’ - the staff were remarkably friendly and fun, the room we had was the nicest room i’ve ever had anywhere, and it is located right in the middle of one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

Food: i have never eaten so well in my life over the course of a week.

Unforgettable adventures with exceptional service and breathtaking wildlife encounters, big 5!

Our experience was exceptional. From the initial communication with Ushma to the execution of the tour, everything was seamless. Our guide, Anderson, ensured every detail was taken care of, his experience and expertise made the difference! The reliability and professionalism of the company made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The tour itself was a highlight, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters (the Big Five!), scenes of big cats hunting and breathtaking landscapes. We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris for an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania. Merci beaucoup!
