Don't look elsewhere, super organised well run company
5/5

Had the best 5 days on safari in Northern Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda. Couldn't fault our guide Andrew who was super knowledgeable about all the wildlife, always knew the best spots to be and could spot a lion on the other side of the national park! They are super organised and able to quickly arrange the right accommodation and schedule to suit your needs. Definitely good value compared to other companies. Would definitely recommend choosing this company if you are looking to do a safari in Tanzania, you will see so much and not be disappointed.

Best safari ever
5/5

We had the most amazing time on our first ever safari. Andrew our safari guide was so welcoming and lovely and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He always went above and beyond to try and find animals and we had some amazing experiences. The accommodation was amazing also. Everywhere we went the staff were so kind and friendly. We will hopefully be coming back in the future! We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda - we couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Family Safari Adventure: Discovering the Wonders of Serengeti with Wakanda Tours
5/5

Our recent safari with Serengeti Wakanda was an outstanding adventure, significantly exceeding our expectations in every aspect. Aishwarya, our coordinator, meticulously organized our journey, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and thrill of the safari.

Witnessing the grandeur of the wildebeest migration was a spectacle beyond words. The sight of one million gnus and 200,000 zebras moving in a relentless quest for fresh grazing grounds was a testament to the raw beauty and vitality of nature. This phenomenal event, coupled with our encounters with the Big Five - the African Elephant, African Buffalo, African Leopard, African Lion, and Rhinoceros - made our safari an unforgettable tapestry of wildlife experiences.

Our guide and driver, Bashiri, was the highlight of our trip. His profound knowledge and understanding of wildlife transformed our safari into an educational and awe-inspiring journey. Bashiri’s insights enriched our understanding of the animals, making us feel more connected to the natural world. His expertise was not only enlightening for us but also incredibly captivating for the children, sparking a newfound appreciation and curiosity for wildlife in them.

The food was equally impressive. Each meal was a surprise, combining taste with the comfort of homely cooking. The accommodation, spanning from hotels to tented camps, provided the perfect balance of luxury and authenticity. The attention to detail and the warm hospitality made us feel welcomed and pampered throughout our stay.

Bashiri’s intuitive understanding of animal behavior was exceptional. His ability to predict the movements of the wildlife allowed us to witness nature’s most intimate moments, offering unparalleled photo opportunities. It was evident that his skills were recognized and respected, as we often noticed other drivers emulating his approach to get the best possible experiences for their guests.

The visit to a Masai village was a profoundly enriching experience, offering us a unique insight into the cultures and traditions of the local people. This cultural exchange was as memorable as the safari itself, adding a valuable dimension to our adventure. The personalized present we received at the end of the trip was a touching gesture, serving as a cherished memento of our incredible journey.

Additionally, the seamless integration of convenience, like the Wi-Fi in the car, ensured that we stayed connected while being away from home. The tented camp accommodations struck a delightful balance, offering luxury amidst the wilderness, allowing us to enjoy the pristine natural environment without compromising on comfort.

The last day of our trip was thoughtfully planned, giving us a free morning to explore the Masai Market. This was a perfect conclusion to our safari, allowing us to soak in the local culture and pick up souvenirs before heading to the airport.

Serengeti Wakanda didn’t just take us on a safari; they took us on a journey that touched our hearts and enriched our minds. Their commitment to excellence and passion for wildlife conservation was evident in every aspect of our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Wakanda to anyone looking to embark on a safari adventure. It’s not just a trip; it’s an experience that will be cherished and remembered for a lifetime.

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!
