Serengeti Wakanda tours and Safari

Thank you so much for this incredible trip. Just by chance did we choose this budget company and how lucky we were. Felix, our great guide who knows a lot about all the animals, knew all birds as well and was always motivated to look for animals, show us the best places and most days we left very early as in sunrise and came back late. Very carefull driver with respect for the animals. Our cook Idrissa was just the best. Although is english is not the best, he made sure we had 3 very good meals a day. He made fresh bread and or pancakes for breakfast, we had fruits, vegetables, meat and if you have a diet or don’t like something, it’s no problem.
The company is very professional, very quick to response. If you have your own overland car, you can leave it at their company, no space for big trucks though, we left ours at a hotel (karibu heritage hotel). They pick you up, in time and they will make sure you have a great time. We did a 6 day, 5 night trip. We loved Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. We slept 2 nigths in the good Fig tree lodge and 3 nights in good tents with sleepingbag, matrass and pillow provided. Bring soms warm clothes for Ngorogoro camp. If I would do it another time, i would leave out Manyara national park, no flamingo’s (but did see them in serengeti) for years since the flooding.
In our trip we saw 2 cheeta’s killing a male impala, we saw the migration of the wildebeast and zebras looking for water, we saw a leopard that lost his prey and got it back, more than 50 lions, i don’t know how many elephants, it was just more than geat. So thank you!!!!!

Best Serengeti Safari
5/5

Best Safari ever! We went on a 5 day 4 night budget camp safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours, and even tough it was classed as budget, it did not feel like a budget option for a second. Starting with Bartho and the excellent customer service he provided, answering every email we sent and arranging it all, he even collected us at the airport. When we had a spare day in Arusha, he arranged a great trip to the Mataruni Waterfall.
All the gear, new tents and cars provided by Wakanda were in excellent condition. We had a great guide, Eliya, who was very knowledgeable, kind and a great driver. There was a professional photographer with us, and Aisha captured great moments of us on the trip.
The best was our personal chef Dullah who made us 3 cooked meals a day … the only words for that was Wow! And thank you.
We saw the big 5, spent hours in the bush amongst the animals, had epic sunrises and sunsets and loved every second of our safari. I would highly recommend this company. They are truly the best.

Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris is one of the best tour operators I have ever deal with.
5/5

We took 10day private safari ( 7nights lodges & 3nights camping, which is brilliant!

All the staff speak pretty good English, which makes communication go smoothly. Meanwhile, they got to know our personalities so that they can offer us something really attractive. Before choosing Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris I tried to contact the six other tours agent, however, Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris was the one who responded fastest and offer the full board service with the great value for money.
Driver Andrew is super professional for safari in all four National parks we have experienced. We saw all Big-5 including leopard, two groups of cheetahs playing around… … He is really good at tracking the animals so that we were always the first group to approach animals and always got the best location for viewing and pictures. Andrew is a caring person for sure. During those ten days journey, he was always welcoming and warm-hearted. We never got any chance to worry about anything everything is so organized, when we got Andrew.
Chef Dula was cooking local cuisine for us for five days. Those taste is lovely and even better than the food from some lodges.
For Safari in all, I highly recommend to take at least one camping night. You can hear zebras pecking by your ears and find a dropping from elephant just outside of your tent. Sunrise and sunset are both attractive you should not miss. Besides the beautiful view of sky, you can meet more animals during that period of time.

Over all, those ten days are amazing. Wakanda is definite a sound choice for me.

Andrew was a very friendly, kind and funny guide with a lot of experience.
5/5

7 of us experienced a 4-day safari over Serengeti Wakanda, which I can recommend to everyone. We saw 4 of the Big 5s and were able to collect a lot of unforgettable impressions.
Andrew as a guide and Abdullah as a cook were great and gave us a wonderful stay.
Even if we were they at rain seasion we were very lucky with the weather und could see some rainbows.

Spectacular Tanzanian Safari Experience: Wildlife, Food, and Exceptional Guiding
5/5

I had an incredible experience on my safari tour in Tanzania! Not only did I see a ton of animals, but I was able to check off all of the BIG5 from my list. Seeing lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, and more up close was truly awe-inspiring.

But the amazing wildlife sightings weren't the only highlight of the trip. The food was also delicious, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Even though my group wasn't the strongest in English, he went out of his way to make sure we understood everything and had an amazing time.

Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I'm already dreaming of going back for another safari adventure.

Experience of a lifetime!
5/5

What an incredible experience we had!
One of the best experiences of our lives. We booked a 6 day safari tour to see Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in lodge for 2 nights and camping for 3 nights.
The Wakanda team that took us was just amazing Andrew, our guide was fabulous, the best guide ever. He tells you all his stories and anecdotes about the park and shares his broad knowledge of animals with you, which is much appreciated. He is also very knowledgeable about the parks so you can see all the animals up close (big five). Aisha, our photographer was lovely and did an amazing job and her photos are sublime. Dullah, our chef cooked us delicious meals morning noon and evening in gargantuan proportions, so we all gained weight at the end of the stay, you will not miss anything and you will even be entitled to wine, beers and apps.
I recommend this company without any hesitation, you can go there with your eyes closed and I'm sure to come back one day when passing through Wakanda. Thank you for everything !

Tanzania's Best Safari!
5/5

Excellent experience! This safari is fantastic.
We spent 6 days with Andrew (our guide), Dullah (our cook) and Aisha (our photographer) who are really great people!

Andrew has a perfect knowledge of the different parks and gave us an unforgettable experience. He has anecdotes about all the animals/plants and thanks to him we saw all the animals we wanted.

We spent 2 nights in a lodge and 3 nights in tents in the middle of the parks. Meals were excellent and substantial.

The stay took place at the beginning of May 2023, a favorable period because fewer tourists and breathtaking landscapes!

Thank you Andrew, Dullah and Anisha, I will not soon forget this stay!

Quentin (Happy)

6-day camping group safari - amazing adventure
5/5

The tour we booked consisted of 1 day at Tarangire, 1 day at Lake Manyara, 3 days at Serengeti and 1 day at Ngorongoro. The first two nights we slept in a budget lodge with private bathrooms and the other 3 nights we were camping in Serengeti and Ngorong, where the camping sights also offered bathrooms and dining areas.

The booking process itself was very easy with Bartho. We arranged everything via Email or Whatsapp and he always answered quickly.

We were two friends from Austria and loved our Safari group of four more people at our age around 25-30.
Moreover our safari guide Felix was the best guide we could have imagined. He was not only a very good driver, could spot so many different animals, even if they were very far away or very tiny, but he also gave us so much information about the animals and also what life in Tansania and the culture there is like.
We had our own cook who really did his best by serving us various different dishes three times a day.
Our safari group inkluding our guide became friends quickly and so we helped each other whenever is was necessary and also spent the evenings together and had often great fun.

For us the 6-day Safari was perfect with the four different national parks because we could see different animals in each of them.
Also the driving distance to Serengeti (which was our favorite) is quite far, so 6 days made the most sense to us.

The camping Safari is definitely an adventure with the bumpy roads, big animals and also sleeping in tents in the national parks.
Sometimes we could even hear animals in or close to the camping sights, but all in all we felt safe at any time.

Summing all of this up, we can totally recommend this camping safari, if you're up for an adventurous way of exploring the wilderness of Tansania
