5/5

Bartho, the organiser of Wakanda Safaris was very helpful, and runs the Best Budget Safaris!!!
And the money goes to locals, unlike of foreign owned companies.
Highly recommend booking the 6day/5night camping safari, totally worth it!!!

Felix is the BEST guide!!!
He is very knowledgeable, loves being asked questions, kind, helpful, has a great sense of humour, and was very patient with our many toilet stops

He is very smart, energetic and helpful.
5/5

We saw the big five! Our favourite safaris were Tarengire and Ngorongoro. The guide was very helpful. You could always ask the guide questions and he would always answer. The money value is great!

Awesome
5/5

Serengeti Wakanda Tours made our safari experience one that we won't soon forget. The communication before the tour was fast and informative. That made use feel like we were in good hands. Every staff member was phenomenal. Our airport pick up driver Joseph was there upon arrival and very friendly and knowledgeable. Our cook Machete is truly a master of his art of cooking. The meals were always delicious and amazing. He made sure that we were always satisfied with the meals and made sure to have alternatives for allergies. The real superstar was our tour guide Preiss. Preiss is super knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. Preiss knew the best places to see the animals and always made sure that we had plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the moment. Preiss even helped stranded safari vehicles and this made us feel like we were in good hands incase the vehicle broke down. I would 100% recommend that you ask for Preiss as your guide if you can. Serengeti Wakanda Tours is great value for the price and would recommend them to anyone planning a Serengeti tour.

Efficient and nice service
5/5

We had a great adventure with Serengeti Wakanda. Our guides were kind and knowledgeable, and organization went according to plan. Plenty of time to see animals in nature, and guides did their best to get us the best possible views. Food was very good and camping gear was quite new.

Dreams comes True
5/5

We are going to tell you about the trip of our dreams. I wish I could describe what I experienced. Too many emotions in a week is something impossible to describe. Dream come true.

• Guide: Phelix touched us, he has a knowledge of nature and animals. BRUTAL! It is a machine we saw everything we asked for. Super attentive, any doubt was resolved perfectly for us, a very communicative person and she showed her love for her work. She really made us this unforgettable experience.

•Food: Sully touched us. The stomach engineer, he was in charge of feeding us every day and everything was SPECTACULAR! Most of the tours offer us a little box with prepared food, we ate everything freshly made. All fresh. Some potatoes that this man prepared for us with fish (my boyfriend doesn't eat fish) he ate it and you can get an idea of how good his food is. The fresh bread every day made by him. Conclusion meal 100

Andrew was fantastic. So knowledgable, helpful and a great spotter.
5/5

They were great. Andrew was an amazing guide and Dula was a fantastic chef. Neither of them left anything to be desired. Couldn’t recommend enough. Great tour, great food and great value for money. Accommodation was comfortable, wifi in the car and we ate better than anyone else we saw. I thought for a lower price I would settle for a lesser service but this was not the case at all - great experience!

Our guide was phenomenal and absolutely made the tour a million times more enjoyable for us all.
5/5

The tour completely exceeded our expectations. Our guide Andrew was insanely experienced and knowledgeable and did everything to make sure we enjoyed our time. The trip would not have been the same without him. Our cook Dula was phenomenal. Every meal he made left us stuffed but still wanting to eat more.

Exceptional and local
5/5

We travel a lot all over the World and we have just returned from safari with Wakanda and it’s one of the best experiences we have had travelling.

Wakanda are a local company, employing local people with a pride, dignity and care that is a pleasure to be around.

Bartho is ultra organised and makes sure everything runs smoothly.

Our guide Felix was so knowledgable, eloquent and helpful. He’s also a great guy with a big heart and love of his great country. He guided us through this real adventure with great skill and tact. Because of him we were able to see so much and really engage with this beautiful experience.

Sully our chef treated us to the best food and never left us wanting. Delicious hot food and even baking his own delicious bread for each meal. Other companies had lunch boxes with bland offerings. Sully prepared us hot, tasty and satisfying meals with variety and veggie options. From start to finish we relished meal times. As with Bartho and Felix he is also a wonderful character and by the end it felt like one big family.

If you’re looking at safari here then don’t miss out on a Wakanda experience. It’s great value but the standard is exceptional.

We will definitely return and will definitely book with Wakanda.

Thank you guys for making it so special.

Unforgettable Experience, 5 stars
5/5

I booked through Wakanda after my original booking through another operator was cancelled at short notice - and am I glad that happened! The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Bartho was always on hand to answer my questions and always responded very quickly which made the admin side of things very hassle free.

As for the safari itself, Lewis was an incredible guide: friendly, patient and over 20 years experience which meant he knew exactly where to put the jeep to get us the best shots of the animals. We saw the Big 5 and often were close enough to them to touch if we'd wanted. The choice of camping was also excellent as it really felt wild and many mornings we'd wake up to animals around our tents which was special.

Finally, we had an amazing cook in Doola who literally was up cooking in the middle of the night to provide us with delicious meals at all times. His bread may be the best I've ever tasted and that's no small feat given how it is made (you'll have to book to find out!)

Overall, an undoubted 5 star experience and one of the best tours I've had travelling. So don't look any further, in Wakanda you are in extremely safe hands.

Amazing!!!
5/5

This was by far the best trip/experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we booked, I started calling around because I prefer to talk to a live person. Bartho picked up the phone and explained everything thoroughly. Every question or concern I had from there on was answered in a timely manner. I’ve been to a few countries and when I tell you I felt welcomed, I truly mean it. We got there a few days before our safari, we got picked up by Ben, we asked Ben about what we could do for the couple of days before our safari and he made sure we knew what to do, where to go, and how to feel safe. On safari day we met our driver/guide,Felix. Felix was amazing, such a humble and amazing soul. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and safari and didn’t mind answering any questions. We saw the big 5 and some. He had a great sense of humor and we never had a dull moment. Shortly after we met our chef, Sulejmani, he was great. Sule’s food was delicious and he even accommodated a few things I asked for. I will never forget Sule, Felix and the staff coming out with a freshly baked birthday cake and singing happy birthday to me, a birthday I will never forget. On the last day thankfully, Bartho booked our transport to the airport. We honestly had the best time and experience and I’m happy I picked Serengeti Wakanda tours.
