Absolutely incredible dream trip
5/5

We booked our safari directly with Serengeti Wakanda after reading such amazing reviews online!

Right from our first enquiry email Aishwarya was so professional, responsive and quick to send us information and a proposed itinerary. Then a couple of months before our trip we got an email saying that due to the migration patterns and the weather they’d like to adjust our itinerary a little to give us the best chance of seeing animals, obviously they are the experts so we went with their changes happily, and really appreciated that change as we would never have known if not for them!

We were in regular contact with Aishwarya via WhatsApp leading up to our trip she was absolutely amazing at replying super quickly and answering all our questions.

Everything was taken care of. We were picked up and taken to our Arusha hotel and then briefed for our safari. The following morning we begun our safari!

We’re a couple and our Safari guide was Andrew, and Aishwarya also accompanied us as photographer.

The vehicle was great for us, it was comfy and plenty of drinks available. We had picnic lunch on the first day cooked by the Serengeti Wakanda chef :) very yummy! The rest of the time we were well fed at all the lodges, and had packed lunches by which ever lodge we were staying at.

We felt so lucky to have Andrew as our guide, he went to the next level to give us a unique experience. He knows exactly how to find the animals, what behaviour the animal is going to do and how to position the vehicle for the best angles to see them and take photos. He was so skilful at driving, we experienced more rain than normal for this time of year and so some roads were quite muddy, we were always safe with Andrew’s driving. He was so patient and knowledgeable and you can tell he’s so passionate about his job.

Aisha took some amazing photographs of both of us, and she’s a very talented photographer of all the animals too, some of the shots she got could totally be in National geographic! We wish you all the success in the future with your photography dreams, and hope your shots go viral many more times!!

Andrew and Aisha are so friendly, great stories and such interesting conversations, we learnt so much and they went out of their way to make our experience as special as possible. We now have some amazing memories that wouldn’t have been possible with out them! They are THE dream team!

We will never forget our time with you, we hope to come back as we know there is so much more to see! Thank you so much for everything - you guys are awesome.

Turstworthy operator with amazing staff.
5/5

We had a wonderful 6-day adventure with Wakanda tours this December. Our tour guide Andrew went over and out to make the most of our trip. Even though it rained for a few days, we felt like we didn’t miss any of the magic of the nature of Tanzania. Our chef Dullah made sure we didn’t go hungry during the busy days. The food was plentiful and mouth-wateringly delicious. I would definitely recommend choosing Wakanda tours and safaris if you are planning on going on a safari in Tanzania.

The 6 days with Serengeti Wakanda Tours were the best experience of my life
5/5

We have amazing 6 days private budget safari with our guide Andrew. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. Words cannot describe how good guide Andrew was. We were able to spot big five and lot of other beautiful animals. Andrew is very funny guy and I enjoyed hearing all those stories. In addition, the chef, Dullah. Food was amazing. We had traditional African food and even freshly baked bread in the middle of Serengeti.
Everything with Serengeti Wakanda was easy and lovely.

Amazing 6 day private budget safari
5/5

I had the best time in 6 day private budget safari. Our tour guide Andrew was amazing. He took us to the most wonderful places and knew so much about the animals and where we could see them best, even in diffucult conditions. And even after getting up for an early 6am game drive he was happy and chatty. Our private chef Dula made the most delicisious food that I have eate in a very long time. You could see the passion that Dula had for the food. Overall everyone was so friendly and spoke great english.

It was really easy to book the safari and ask for more information about it. Communication was really fast around the clock and we got great tips and packing lists. The guide and cook and other staff were all amazing and we really got value for our money. Wakanda tours is reliable and will make sure you get the best safari experience possible.

Choose Wakanda for the best possible safari experience!
5/5

We have just finished a 5 day private safari with Wakanda. We chose Wakanda because they were the only company who could quote for a one way safari ending near Lake Victoria. Bartho was very helpful and patient while we planned our safari and gave us lots of options and a very competitive price.
We had the good luck of having Felix as our guide and Abdullah as our chef. Together they provided us with the most amazing experience we will never forget. Felix is friendly, kind, patient and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw the best that the different parks had to offer, depending on the season. He knows everything there is to know about the animals and did some amazing, long driving days in tricky conditions to show us everything he could. He also has integrity, and did not venture off road like many other operators did- however this did not stop us seeing anything. Even after getting up for a 6am game drive he was happy and chatty for the rest of the day and answered all our questions.
Abdullah is the most amazing chef with a real passion for the food he prepares. He made us fantastic meals 3 times a day, different every time. They were delicious and interesting and he used lots of different ingredients. The only problem was he fed us too well! He is also a lovely guy who really cares about what he does. We were travelling with our 5 year old son and Felix and Abdullah were so kind to him too, he absolutely loved them both.
We can not praise Wakanda highly enough, it really is a 5 star service that cares about its guests. The accommodation (tents) was better than expected and really comfortable. The jeep was awesome with it's own minibar!
But it was the people who made it unforgettable. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Asante Sana!

What an overwhelming and amazing experiences
5/5

The tour with Wakanda Tours and Safaris was such an amazing experience. Everything was perfectly organized and we were also able to book our hotel before and after the safari through the office. Our driver Bashir did a really great job. With his experience and feeling for nature, we were able to see the animals up close without disturbing them. Our chef Ashraf spoiled us every day with three-course meals, which he conjured up using the simplest ingredients on the campsites. Well done. Small negative point - there was only cola as a soft drink, everything else was really perfect.
Thanks guys for this great & overwhelming experience and thanks for having us! It was just wonderful.

Amazing personality, huge passion for animals, and a vast knowledge on wildlife
5/5

It is hard to find the words to describe how amazing our safari tour was. It all started from the moment we met our guide Simon. Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris did not only provide us a guide, but also a friend! Simon has a wonderful personality and a huge passion for animals! His positive energy and sense of humor made our trip memorable! He placed so much effort in ensuring that we always had the best possible location and view on all animal species. Whenever he would hear over the radio that there is a particular species or a pack of animals at a certain location, he would rush to that place to make sure we don’t miss the opportunity to see it! As a result, we did not only succeed to see all of the big 5, but made amazing photos thanks to Simon! In case an animal was far away, he did his best to make pictures look like it was just in front of us. His knowledge and experience provided so much context and understanding of the national resorts, animal behaviour, and laws of wildlife. He gave the answer to any question we had during our ride. We very much recommend you to request Simon to be your guide!
In addition to Simon, we also experienced a great organisation and support by the whole Serengeti Wakanda team! They ensured that we have the best accommodation, service, and overall experience! In case you haven’t made your choice, we highly recommend to pursue your upcoming safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda and Simon as your tour guide!
