Unforgettable!
5/5

Despite the current conditions, we made the choice to go on vacation to Tanzania.
Bartho (our organizer) was easily reachable by phone to answer our questions.
We were two families with 4 children aged between 5 and 12 years old
He adapted a tour for our two families.
We made a 10% deposit payment to confirm our trip through Paspal.
We were met at the airport by our organizer Bartho and our two guides Simba and Andrew.
The atmosphere of the trip was given from the start with local fields and learning on the way a few essential words (jumbo, Mambo, Poa, Pole pole ...)
Our French-speaking guides as well as our chef Dullah with his healthy, delicious, varied and balanced cuisine have done everything to ensure that we can spend pleasant moments with friends and family.
The accommodations lived up to our expectations.
We were able to see a lot, a lot of animals.
The last day we had the chance to see the leopard on three occasions.
In short, an unforgettable trip, we warmly thank the organizer Bartho as well as Simba, Andrew and Dullah.
Do this again as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Outstanding and immersive experience of Tanzania
5/5

We did the three-day budget safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.

Covid has had no impact on their service, and we were able to book a safari on the day of our choice. Bartho (the company owner) was responsive via email/whatsapp, and very professional. Paying the deposit was simple.

The actual tour was fantastic, made all the better by our engaging and knowledgeable guide Simba. Though we were in a group we felt that the experience was tailored to our needs, and could go looking for different animals as we pleased. We had opportunity to see a Masai village, but in no way felt pressured to do so. We saw so many animals over three days and each setting had a different beautiful landscape.

It far exceeds previous safari experiences that we've done on a similar budget, mainly because of our guide and the kind and generous staff.

The accommodation was very good given we opted for a budget safari - basic but clean, with a hot private shower and a very comfy bed! The chef was also brilliant, cooking a large and varied meal everyday - so many dishes we could never finish it all.

I would absolutely go with Serengeti Wakanda Tour if you are going to Tanzania for safari!

Best Safari with kind and professional Crew
5/5

We had such a good time with Malisa and our Cook Dullah. Our Crew always had the best food, selfmade bread and 4 courses menü. The Tourguide Malisa was very experienced and his eyes saw so much stuff. He explained so much about the wildlife, birds and the nature to us. The campsites are very nice too and all people around very helpful. Right now due to corona there were less Jeeps in the Parks which was very comfortable.
We would do this Tour again and can highly recommend!!!

Amazing 5-day Safari with Serengeti Wakanda! Outstanding experience!
5/5

The entire experience was excellent, and I absolutely recommend you book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris.

- Communication: easy, quick and simple. Batho was very flexible and helped us with everything we needed, even after the tour ended! Truly exceptional.
- Safari: our gifted driver, and knowledgeable guide - Malisa was amazing! He knows exactly were to go to find the animals, is both fun and kind, always making sure everyone is happy. He is clearly very experienced, I always felt quite safe with is driving, and it was trully impressive how he spotted all the different animals and some very unique moments (we even got to see a zebra giving birth and the baby taking its first steps!), and knows all the best spots to catch the sunrise. You can ask him anything about the animals or the parks and he will know the answer. Very impressive! They even provided excellent quality binoculars. It greatly surpassed our expectations!!
- Food: Truly exceptional! Dula is the best chef! We which we could have brought him home with us! We had 3 meals a day, delicious and with plenty of food (for dinner there was always soup, 2 courses, fresh bread and desert, and at lunch no lunch boxes for us - real, delicious, cooked food!). I still can't believe that he cooked us pie in the middle of the jungle, in the dark, with just a flashlight on his forehead. Very impressive! There always was plenty of water, beer, and wine. And there was a vegan girl and they always prepared food specially for her needs.
- Accommodation: Overall very good. We spent 2 nights in nice tents in the middle of the jungle - great experience, truly unique, and it was way more comfortable than what i expected, and 2 nights in a lodge.

I was a bit concerned, traveling in the middle of a covid pandemic, but I actually felt safer than at home. I think this is a great opportunity to get away from the cities and crowds, and visit these natural parks, that are now empty of tourists, and have so much to offer. It was an unique experience that I will always cherish.

A 5 days amazing African adventure
5/5

We booked a 5 day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris and the entire experience was just outstanding!
I felt really safe visiting the natural parks. Despite the pandemic we are all living right now, covid had no impact on their service. Getting away from our cities and just get involved with nature in this way was by far one of the best experiences I had in my entire life. And this feeling of exceeding expectations has a lot to do with the team that accompanied us during those days!
Bartho (the company owner) was very kind with us, offering help with any issues that happened during our trip through Tanzania, even after the safari was ended. The communication with him was very simple and quick.
The safari itself was just amazing! Our tour guide was Malisa. Very knowledgeable and always worried if we were enjoying the trip. He was always trying to pay attention to our needs. We learned a lot from him! He was very good at spotting the animals and he gave us time to enjoy all the environment. He is a very friendly person and I felt safe with is driving. During the safari, they also provided great quality binoculars which was a must!
Dula was our chef! And oh my good! The food he made for us was just delicious!! It's very impressive how he came up with such meals in the middle of nowhere. We had 3 meals a day with plenty of food. We also had fresh backed bread! I mean, couldn't ask for better. Was truly a great surprise! There was also plenty of water, beer and wine. They even provided vegan food for a girl that joined us during the trip!
The accommodation was also very nice! We booked a budget safari, so we slept 2 nights in a lodge and 2 nights in camp sites. The camp sites were very clean. The tents were big enough and very comfortable. It was a quite funny and interesting experience sleeping in the middle of Serengeti with the wildlife surrounding us at night.
The overall trip was just fantastic and I absolutely recommend you to go with Serengeti Wakanda Tour when going to Tanzania for safari!

Professional but affordable shared safari tour
5/5

Best safari for amazing price!
After researching our safari options we started communicating with Serengeti Wakanda on Whatsapp and got immediately offers based on our requirements, answers to all our questions and felt safe that we will be picked up on the airport and go to Arusha where tour operator booked accommodation for the nights before and after the safari (all included in the price of the safari). The communication was top!
Next day we started our 4 days trip through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with our amazing chef Sule and great guide Francis. Words cant describe hiw good Sule was cooking even for us 2 vegans. Francis told us all about the animals in the parks and made our days full extraordinary experiences,he even taught us some swahili which came handy for the rest of our vacation.
The camping sites and the accommodation had all the necessary facilities like charging docks, showers etc.
After we returned we realized every cent of the price was worth it and adequate to the lifetime experience.
Specially during covid times the professional communication and service of Serengeti Wakanda was very appreciated!

An amazing safari with the Perfect team ! Unforgettable !
5/5

Communications service by Whatsapp Bartho was really easy and perfect. He planned the Safari with our flights from Paris to Kili. I was not expected a Safari like that. The team was Perfect ! Pray the guide was so good to find animals, we saw the big fives (even the Rhino) and the cheetah (with babies). We were the first 4×4 entering the crater or N'Gorogoro and we had the breakfast in front of the hippo pool. And the cooker Soulé was amazing, he was cooking fresh and tanzanian food for each meal ! We were missing nothing, there were enough for everybody all the time. Beers and red wine is included every night
... And our group was really fun, we enjoyed our time with another portuguese couple ! I really advice everybody to make the Safari with Wakanda !!!

Incredible! Thoughtful organization, superb guide and great food.
5/5

My safari was really cool and Wakanda was quite professional all the way, either in the pre-tour process, either during the actual tour.
The guide was amazing, always with an “eagle” eye trying to find a potential leopard on some tree or a hidden pride. It’s all about luck in a safari (one day you can see 2 cheetahs or a lion hunting and in the next only see zebras and wilderbeests) but you also need to find your luck and a great guide plays a key role in the experience. Praise, thanks a lot for all the stories and laughs that I had with you.
The food also is really important during a period of 4-6 days and I got the luck of being always super full. Out of 15+ meals, I only had a couple of meals that I didn’t repeat. Sulé is a great cook!
Strongly Recommend.

Unforgettable experience with exceptional organization
5/5

Bartho responded quickly and satisfactorily to all my questions. Andrew is this gentle, sharp-eyed, always helpful tour-guide you can only wish for! Food was good and always sufficient. The general organization was great, so I only had to watch and experience the abundance of Tanzanian wildlife.
Check the ideal season though if you have the expectation to see the Great Migration, hunts or as many big cats as possible.

All was perfect
5/5

The stuff was perfect. They tried to make us
all the time. And we were happy. It was a 6-days trip in Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro crator, Serengeti.
We've seen lions, buffalos, elefants, rinos, leopards, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and lots of other animals.
We were surprised by so good organization of this trip. We didn't waste our time. There were safaries during all the days with the lunch breaks. We can remember only one bad moment: there were no hot water in one camp where we spent two nights.
Our guide Isa showed good knowledge about the animals and very good competition in spotting animals. His stories were interesting.
