Serengeti Wakanda and our guide Andrew were incredible - perfect from beginning to end
5/5

This was the most Incredible experience for our family. Possibly our best holiday ever - such a great holiday for adults and children (ours were 11 and 14 and completely blown away). Our guide Andrew was incredible and we felt completely safe and comfortable from the minute the safari with Serengeti Wakanda started. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and incredible with our kids. We would recommend him highly and suggest that you request him! He taught us so much about Africa, the culture and the animals and he knew the parks so well as he has so many years of experience. He took us to the best areas and found us rare sightings. The accomodation was all perfect - incredibly clean and always helpful and friendly staff that were so kind to my children . We stayed at Mawe Mawe for 2 nights - a hidden gem with incredible views and food and beautiful and luxurious rooms and restaurant. The tented sites (Signature and Angata) were both magical and were like 5 star hotels and felt comfortable and safe with all the modern conveniences. We had elephants outside our tents and buffalo nearby - and were always safely escorted to and from our tents at night. We had a gourmet hot lunch every day in the National Parks with even table cloths and hot coffee. Serengeti Wakanda made certain that all meals were gluten free (suitable for a coeliac and a picky eater like our son!). Andrew went to every effort to make our trip comfortable he even made sure our car was fully stocked with drinks and always clean (not easy when on safari!!). We recommend Serengeti Wakanda tours and especially Andrew for an incredible holiday you will never forget. We saw 4 different parks and also had a perfect amount of time in the crater/caldera seeing every animal you can imagine because Andrew made it his mission to find them for us. If you want a well organised, comfortable and safe safari tour with an excellent company, then you should book with Serengeti Wakanda!! We looked at many operators and did a lot of research and we were a bit nervous about what to expect - but Serengeti Wakanda was so easy to deal with by email and in person. We had considered going some of the bigger operators but we are glad we didn’t because we saw lots of bigger operators but they did not seem to receive the same personal service we received. We are so pleased we chose Wakanda!!

Excellent 5 Day Safari
5/5

We've booked a 5-day safari trip (Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro) with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari. When we booked the tour we got an immediate response. Everything was well organized & explained in a travel overview document. The whole staff was very friendly & helpful from the beginning till the end.

Our guide Edward had a profound knowledge about the wildlife and the country. Even though the roads in the park became very muddy he always managed to drive us through safely. He also drove very cleverly which made it possible for us to see the interessting animals before all the jeeps where on site. During our journey we had very deep conversations. He found a good balance between professionalism and friendship.

Our chef, Asharaff, always treated us with various delicious 3-5 course dishes.

Overall we had an extraoridinary adventure with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. We booked several activities abroads and this was definitely the most exciting tour.
Big thanks to Serengeti Wankanda and especially to Edward and Ashraff - you made this journey unique.

an amazing experience with an amazing agency
5/5

For a first Safari experience it was exactly as we had imagined and more.
Contact by e-mail was very quick and easy, and the contact person took the time to answer all our questions before booking.
On site, the service was excellent. The guide (Simon), the photographer (Aisha) and the chef (Dullah) were very attentive throughout our journey. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna thanks to the guides, who have a good knowledge of the environment.
Simon (the guide/driver): very cheerful, taking care to make sure we were as comfortable as possible in the Jeep and our tent. He clearly answered all our questions about everything we could see during the 5-day safari.
Aisha: very smiling, very friendly and allowed us to immortalize these moments.
Dullah: a top chef with extraordinary and varied culinary talents. He made us taste the local dishes

Don't wait - Book Serengeti Wakanda for an unforgettable safari experience!!
5/5

**If you are looking for an unforgettable safari experience, then look no farther than Serengeti Wakanda**

I spent a lot of time researching safari operators and I am so ecstatic I chose this company. They exceeded all of my expectations and I cannot recommend them enough.

Bartho was an excellent communicator from the start. He was always very quick to respond and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The booking process was a breeze.

My guide for the Materuni waterfalls, coffee tour and Chemka hot springs was Ben Themmystocles. Ben was incredibly kind and taught me so much about tanzanian culture and history and even gave me a lesson in swahili! He also went above and beyond when he delivered my belongings to my hotel, hours after I realized I had forgotten them in the vehicle.

Benji was my guide for the safari. He took us to parts of the park where there were no other cars and spotted animals far away that other safari guides cruised past. We saw the Big 5! He was also an excellent driver. Many of the roads in Serengeti were flooded due to heavy rain and he navigated the roads like a pro. Benji was so positive and charming throughout our whole time together and you can tell that this is more than his job, it's his passion.

The food on our safari was delicious, thanks to Idris. Each meal had about 5 different dishes to select from and there was always so much variety. Idris also made us homemade bread for breakfast and dinner each day! We never went hungry.

Serengeti Wakanda takes care of everything for you so that you can sit back and enjoy your holiday. I am so grateful for everyone who made this the trip of a lifetime!!

The safari excelled with responsive leadership, exceptional guidance, gourmet cuisine
5/5

There are many safaris on the website so we had trouble choosing but talking to the director really helped, he is really responsive, has an answer and solution to everything and a clear vision so I’d recommend contacting him if you have doubts. That being said, I don't regret the choice at all, our safaris was by far the best experience. Félix, our guide was exceptional, patient and very considerate, we had a great moment with him, we could see so many animals because we wake early and leave with a prepared breakfast to see animals before the heat increases, we could see hippos getting back to water, a mother lion with her baby, many more adult lions, giraffes, zebras,… we were spoiled. We were also blessed to have Achraf as our chef, all other safaris were giving us bad looks with our well prepared dishes on plates for each meal, with fresh bread and dessert. I still can't understand how he could cook so many things by himself in such a short time. His fresh warm bread in the morning and for dinner waouh, that was something else and his banana cake, amazing! The worst thing about this is that he made our life difficult cause now we don’t like food that’s not cooked by Achraf. I also had a day trip with Benedict to the waterfalls and hot springs in addition to a coffee making shop, I recommend doing that if you have an extra day in Arusha, it's really worth it and Ben was amazing. Wakanda for sure knows how to choose the people to work with. In addition, I really value good work environment and I felt that everyone had high esteem for the director and while talking with people they told me that he respects his employees and treats them well and that for that they were really loyal to the company and try to do their best at their job and that is something that can be felt. Thanks for the great time.

Excellent
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Andrew, we could not ask for a better experience! We have been on a safari in Serengeti before, so we had high expectations but Andrew and the team delivered 5/5 on all aspects.

We saw all the big 5 several times and Andrew has done the extra effort in all areas to make sure that we had an amazing time. Also, a very good driver and great story teller. Also, the fly in fly out experience was perfect. Such a smooth process and a luxury experience, that is a must if you want to maximize the time in the safari.

I have never written a review in my life, but this was too good not to share.You will not get a better experience than this, thanks for the great time.

AMAZING
5/5

We had a truly AMAZING experience going with wakanda safari agency and with the guide Andrew. We saw all big 5 animals, and most of them plenty of times. Andrew knew all the best spots to see truly amazing things. We even got to see 4 lion cubs together with the mum and dad. The guide also explained everything about the park, the animals and all other questions we had. Everything felt super safe and great. I can really recommend everyone to do this trip and to have Andrew as your guide, it will be your best trip ever!

The Best!
5/5

This was a once-in-a-lifetime, amazing experience for me and my husband! Ushma in the office was very fast to reply and accommodate to our travel conditions from the start. Benji was a superb driver and very knowledgable with wild animal viewing - we were always in the best spots to see them! Aisha was a wonderful addition, she did not miss any photo ops. Good music and good conversations all around - so important for long road trips - we couldn't have asked for better company. Benji made sure we saw all that Tarangire, Serengeti. and Ngororngo had to offer - he specifically catered to my husband's wish to see a rhino :) Would recommend these guys 100% and would definitely book again!

Wakanda forever! If then, I can visit safari again with them
5/5

We paid a lot, but experience way more than that. We hired both of photographer and guide/driver, Aisha and Benji, respectively.

Aisha, she is professional photographer who always find good image from the animals

Benji, he is insane in a good way haha. I asked a lot of questions and he answers perfectly. Of course, he always find the animals which is rarely found by the others (I saw all BIG FIVE!!)

Fortunately and unfortunately, our 5-days tour is finished so shortly.

Very thanks to our team and tour of Wakanda

Best,

Dream Trip!
5/5

I own a business and every year pick 1 bucket list trip. I researched a ton and picked Wakanda. I joined a group one. The communication was superior from pre to post and during. Our guide was Andrew and our chef Abdulla. You can request them and they both stopped at NOTHING to make the trip everything our group wanted (even a smashed cell phone repair in the middle of a tour!!!). We saw the Big 5! A Hunt. Camped in the Serengeti. Great Migration. UNREAL FOOD (we saw other tours and ours was miles ahead). To me, when you spend 5 days w a group and dont want to say goodbye.....it means it was awesome! I travel the world and this was the best trip ever. I am forever grateful. And as for value.....we ALL agreed in our group we would have paid double for this trip. Insane value!!!!
