Wakanda delivered a quality experience! Diversity and numbers of animals, settings, local cuisine
This summer we took our grandson on a Wakanda safari in Tanzania to celebrate his graduation from high school. We wanted him to experience the love and wonder for Africa and its people that we had developed during our experiences in Africa. We wanted him to feel the awe at the uniqueness, diversity and magnificence of the wildlife as well as the cultural richness, ingenuity and unpretentiousness of daily life in Africa. Wow, did Wakanda deliver! We selected the budget individual guided 7-day safari tour and we were never disappointed. We were able to communicate effectively with Wakanda from the United States and set up the trip and two days of activity well in advance of our arrival.
We saw the stars of African wild life every day as well as the often overlooked birds and even a serval. There were no staged native dances, no garish banquets of food the locals could never afford or visitations to African experiences that catered solely to US and European visitors. I felt that we experienced Africa rather than visited Africa.
The price point of the tour was fantastic but delivered on all promises. Our guide, Felix, was experienced, reliably on time, knowledgeable, and in tune with a spirit of respect for the environment. He often explained the relevance of our experiences in the development of Tanzania. He made sure our teenager was involved in helping to set up camp and made certain parts of the safari “just for him.” Our cook, or as Sule preferred to be called, our “stomach engineer,” cooked delicious and varied meals that reflected the local cuisine. We are vegetarian but our grandson eats meat; Sule was always able to have both meat and vegetarian dishes. He even made bread for most dinners and breakfasts. We wanted our grandson to get as close to “nature” as possible, so three of the seven days were tent camping with night sounds, shooting stars and wandering cape buffalo and impala nearby. The equipment was all up-to-date and in very good condition. We felt safe the entire time. This expedition lived up to all our expectations. Our grandson said it was a great trip–great food, great experiences, great animal viewing. We absolutely agree! One caveat: if you require all the comforts of home, this trip might not be for you. If, however, you want a genuine and rich experience, go with Wakanda! "You never know what's around the corner!"

Well organization, amazing tour, great tour guide and chef, honesty
We are two girls and did the 6 days safari with two more people. The safari is amazing. It is super well organized and nothing is missed out. Our tour guide Preise is a fantastic driver and takes care of everything. We saw so many animals, saw a great sunrise at a good place he knew and he told us a lot about the different kind of animals. Our chef Ashraf is a great cook and we had everyday so delicious food. We didn't miss anything. We can just recommend the tour, great team and organization. If you have any question just conntect Bartho and he will reply super fast on whatsapp. You will enjoy it. Thanks to all!

Amazing company for the best Safari experience
We booked the 7 day budget Safari Tour and loved everything about it. The communication with Bartho (owner of Serengeti Wakanda Tours) went smooth and easy. But it was the driver Hamza and cook Machete that made this experience unforgettable! Hamza is the most attentive and funny person ever! He always made sure we were at the right spot at the right time, looking for the best position for our pictures! He shared al his knowledge with us and answered all our questions! Every day, 3 times a day, Machete prepared us the best meals. Surprising us with different dishes every day.
We highly recommend travelling with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and if you get to travel with Hamza and Machete, you’re very lucky!!

The most beautiful and complete travel experience that we could have lived!
We chose this safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours because we were attracted by the positive reviews and, to be honest, also by the competitive price.
Our expectations were not disappointed and indeed they were greatly exceeded: these 6 days proved to be the most beautiful and complete travel experience that we could have lived.
Our guide, Felix, knew the national parks like the back of his hand. He was as attentive to driving as he was to satisfy our many expectations and curiosities. Prepared and full of attention, he proved to be not only an excellent guide, but also a dear travel companion, always cheerful, ready to joke and share moments of conviviality, always careful to teach us something new about the inhabitants of the Serengeti and other parks.
Also excellent was the cuisine of our chef Idris (renamed "stomach engineer"), very young but talented and full of enthusiasm.
In 6 days we were able to spot many animals and all five of the Big Five. Felix told us, with his usual modesty, that we were lucky. But we know that without his attention and knowledge of the places and habits of animals all this would not have been possible. Thanks again to our friends of Serengeti Wakanda Tours and, as Felix says, "you never know what you'll find around the corner!"

Unforgettable experience
Long ago I wanted to go on a safari and finding the perfect agency was difficult because the plans are very similar and doing it remotely can be complex, however, I think we made the best decision to do it with Serengeti Wakanda. Since the beginning they had excellent service with continuous communication and the service is impeccable, they have attention to detail, they are always willing to help and made the experience unique for us. We had a very good guide and a cooker who made 3 delicious meals each day. Without a doubt, I would repeat the plan with them, I highly recommend them because they make the trip easy, unique and unforgettable.

Absolutely amazing experience and we would not hesitate to book another safari with them.
Our 6-day Camping Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris was an overall incredibly amazing experience!
Bartho, who handled our booking and planning process, was very well organized, professional and was responding quickly to all our requests.
The Safari itself was absolutely fantastic. We got to see loads of different animals and also the scenery in the different nationalparks along our thought out route was amazing. Our accommodations were 2 nights budget lodge with private bathroom and 3 nights camping. All campgrounds had flush toilets and showers and we were provided with big tents, mattresses and sleeping bags. Our safari group consisted of a total of 6 people.
Our very experienced guide Mike was able to answer all the questions we had, knew the best routes and where to best spot the different animals and most importantly, he is an incredibly nice and wonderful guy.
And of course also the very varied food (including the fresh baked! bread) prepared by our chef Dullah was absolutely superb and it was unbelievable how he was able to cook fresh meals 3 times a day with comparably little equipment.
So if you are planning on doing a Safari in Tanzania, you should definitely go for Serengeti Wakanda! We can only recommend it and would not hesitate to book another trip with them.

Wonderful Safari Experience with Family!
We went on a 7-day private safari with Wakanda in July '22 - 2 adults and 2 teens. We had a fabulous time. Bartho was very responsive to my many questions, and also made sure he met us early in the Safari and before we left, which was a nice touch.
Andrew was our safari guide the whole time and he is outstanding! He is extremely funny and easy to talk with and extremely knowledgeable. Every time we found any animal, reptile or bird he would grab a guide book and share so we could learn more. He told about life and culture in Tanzania and included his personal life stories. We were sad to say goodbye to him!
Dulleh made fabulous meals for us three times a day... think a fresh loaf of bread with every dinner that we would gobble down with amazing first course soups and then have to continue to stuff ourselves with all the additional courses and choices that continued to come out! One teen is a picky vegetarian and she was very happy with our meals.
The 7-day safari was fun- we spent 6 of the days going through the various parks and focused on animals, birds, etc., but the last day included a hike up to a beautiful waterfall through an amazing coffee (and other) farming community, then learning about the coffee bean harvest to coffee making process and then on to a fun little water-hole made from warm springs. It was nice to include the additional time spent exploring much of what Tanzania has to offer.
You will spend some nights in a tent (they provide the sleeping bag, and pad!), and some in a sweet little backpacking lodge (Fig Tree), where they hosts are very friendly.
I highly recommend the experience through Wakanda Serengeti!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience!
We are a couple in our 30s, very lucky to have travelled quite a bit already including in jungle and desert areas. We booked a 5 days safari with Serengeti Wakanda in July 2022.
We booked online after reading reviews on TripAdvisor, we received all important information and answers to our many questions from Batho - excellent communication! The booking was secured after paying a 10% deposit via bank transfer, very conveniently. The remainder of the fee was payed the day before the safari started, via bank transfer again.
We were told that we would be taking part in a group tour with a maximum of 8 other tourists, and in the end we were only 4 travellers in the car which was perfect! Our car was comfortable, everybody has a window seat, and the pop-up roof allows a 360 deg. view which is fantastic for observing the animals and taking pictures.
Our guide and driver Derick was very nice, calm, patient and kind. He could answer all our questions. Derick did all he could whithin the parks rules to get us nice viewing points of the animals, he was fantastic at finding them, and took on very long game drives to make sure we could make the best out of our safari. Thank you Derick for these long days driving us around!
During the safari, food was prepared freshly everyday by the amazing cook Suleiman. The food was very good, diverse, with freshly baked bread for all meals! In addition, Suleiman has been the kindest companion during our safari, always having kind words for us, making sure we liked the food, and sharing his knowledge of the country as well. Thank you Sulei, you are a wonderful person!
Two nights were spent camping in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, right inside the national parks. Although this can sound a bit scary, these were some of the best nights I have spent camping. The camping sites were fairly large (perhaps about 30-40 tents), which brings a feeling of safety with the people around, without feeling overcrowded.
Finally, a few words about the parks. We visited in 5 days the Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parks. All the parks have a very different and specific landscape and fauna, so 5 days seemed to us like a good time to take it all in. We got to see so many animals up close, including large mammals and birds. The amount of life around the parks is mind blowing, with herds of elephants, prides of lions and large groups of wildebeest everywhere.
This truly was the experience of a lifetime!
I absolutely recommend to book a safari with Serengeti Wakanda, the value was incredible and everything was smooth and beyond expectations!
