Wild, Raw, and Unforgettable – Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris
Some trips change you. This was one of them.
In March 2025, we set out on a private safari with Wakanda Tours & Safaris, and from the moment we touched down, everything just clicked. No stress. No confusion. Just seamless execution. Airport pickup? Smooth. Logistics? Handled. All we had to do was sit back and take in the adventure of a lifetime.
Straight into the Wild
First stop: Tarangire National Park. Within minutes, we were face-to-face with giant elephants weaving through towering baobabs, zebras crowding the dusty trails, and giraffes moving like slow-motion poetry against the golden light. It was real. It was raw. And it was just the beginning.
Then came the Serengeti—the beating heart of Africa. And this is where things got intense. Thanks to our phenomenal guide, Edward, we were never just spectators. He knew exactly where to go and when, like he had some sixth sense for wildlife. And it paid off. A pride of lions lounging in the sun, tails flicking, their golden eyes lazily scanning the horizon. Just when we thought we had seen it all, we found cheetahs sprawled out in the golden grass, soaking in the heat, completely unbothered by our presence. Edward didn’t just find the animals—he read their behavior, anticipated their moves, and gave us front-row seats to the most incredible wildlife encounters.
Finally, Ngorongoro Crater—a world within a world. The mist lifted as we descended into the lush, green expanse, teeming with life. Buffalo stared us down, zebras crossed right in front of our car, and the scenery felt like something out of a lost paradise. It was like stepping into another era—untouched, untamed, and absolutely breathtaking.
Luxury Meets Grit
Now, let’s talk comfort. The safari vehicle was a beast—rugged on the outside, pure comfort on the inside. Plush seats, a stocked fridge (yes, we had ice-cold drinks in the middle of the Serengeti), and all the space we needed. Long drives? Didn’t even feel them. And the lodges? Perfectly chosen—cozy, scenic, and right in the heart of nature.
The Wakanda Tours & Safaris Edge
Here’s the thing: a safari is only as good as the people running it. And Wakanda Tours & Safaris? They nailed it. The team was on point from start to finish—responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best time possible. And Edward? The guy’s a legend. His knowledge, instincts, and passion made every single moment count.
This wasn’t just a vacation. It was an adventure, a rush, a deep dive into the untamed beauty of Africa. If you’re thinking about booking a safari, stop hesitating. Go with Wakanda Tours & Safaris. You won’t regret it.
10/10. No question.

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari!
Our 5-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we landed in Tanzania, everything was impeccably organized—from airport transfers to the seamless transitions between parks. We explored Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and every day brought breathtaking wildlife encounters that exceeded all our expectations.
Our guide, Edward, was truly exceptional—his deep knowledge, passion for wildlife, and incredible spotting skills made this trip unforgettable. Thanks to him, we witnessed some of the most special and rare sightings: a group of cheetahs in action, lions feasting on a zebra, an incredibly close encounter with a pride of lions, and herds of elephants and zebras moving gracefully across the savannah. Every major animal we had hoped to see was right there before our eyes! Beyond his expertise, it was a pleasure to have him guide us through the days, sharing fascinating insights, answering all our questions, and making every moment even more special.
One of the absolute highlights was the balloon safari over the Serengeti at sunrise—an indescribable experience that gave us a completely different perspective of the vast plains. And to top it all off, we even spotted a rhino, a rare and majestic sight that felt like the perfect finale to our adventure.
A special thanks to Norbelt for the impeccable organization and for always being there to ensure everything ran smoothly. His dedication and attention to detail made our safari stress-free and truly enjoyable.
From start to finish, Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari delivered a flawless experience—every detail was taken care of with precision and care, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic of the African wilderness. If you’re looking for a safari company that combines professionalism, expertise, and unforgettable experiences, look no further.
A huge thank you to Edward and his team for making this the adventure of a lifetime! We cannot recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari highly enough!

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.

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.

The Best Safari Operator
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!
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!
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.
