Amazing and authentic experience
5/5

The safari experience was emotional and enriching. We had Stephano as our tour guide and he did an amazing job. With his knowledge about all the wildlife in the national parks, and his ability to always get us close to the most fascinating moments of nature. He gave us the best safari we could imagine. We would definitely recommend wakanda and especially Stephano as your safari guides. He manages to get us close to both a cheetah and a cub eating a gazelle and 4 lions eating a buffalo.
Thanks for Wakanda tour for the experience.

Reliable and good communication in the planning, our guide, Stephano is very friendly and skilled
5/5

We were picked up in the airport and taken to Wakanda office for adjusting luggage and loading for Safari, all according to the plan.

Here we meet Stephano who took very good care of us during the 6 day long Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
By being dedicated in his work he found all the best places for observing the most spectacular situations. Just to mention some. Let alone our Safari in Tarangire we saw 4 of the big 5. In Serengeti we saw Lions in many situations, the two most fantastic was a Lion family with a big male, two females and 8 Cups. We saw four big males resting after having eaten and African buffalo they had killed the same morning. We saw a Cheetah eating a Thomson gazelle together with a Cup just after having killed it We saw a big heard of Elephants in a fantastic bathing situation.

In all situations Stephano brought us so close that we could feel and almost touch the animals.

Thank you Stephano for making our Safari unforgettable.

Best regards
A family of 6 persons travelling together

Excellent safari experience
5/5

My wife and I did a 6 day safari with Wakanda which covered various national parks.

Our guide Andrew had an amazing positive energy. He is very knowledgeable and takes great care of his clients. He is also an experienced and safe driver which is crucial on the rough roads in and around the national parks.
Besides, he went the extra mile to maximize the probability for us to see the Great Crossing, lions, leopards etc. and to find good positions for seeing the animals and taking good photos.

We had an amazing time and I fully recommend Andrew and Wakanda to anyone!

Outstanding Safari Experience
5/5

Our safari with Andrew was outstanding. His deep knowledge of wildlife and plants, along with his constant enthusiasm and smile, made the experience unforgettable. Andrew went above and beyond, spotting animals we might have missed and sharing fascinating details at every turn. The organisation was seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy the adventure. Ushma from Wakanda was also very responsive to any questions we had, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend both Andrew and the wakanda company!

Excellent Serengeti Wakanda
5/5

We wre a group of 2 families with adult children and we did a 7-day safari with Wakanda Serengeti including Tarangiri, Lake Natron, Northern and Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was a perfectly organized mid-range safari as an alternation of stays in lodges and campsites. The completeness of the safari allowed us to see everything from the big five to the pleasant alternative of Lake Natron with flamingos and swimming in a waterfall.
Aishwarya assisted us impeccably in the organization and perfect choice of stages and stays. In 7 people we had 2 jeeps, one for the parents and one for the children. The guides were always impeccable and ready to respond to every request and resolve any inevitable, unexpected events in these contexts. Isaya the parents' guide was a perfect organizer of all the movements, exceptional driver, very knowledgeable about all the animal species we saw and perfect in choosing the positions with the jeep to see these natural spectacles (we saw the crossing of the Mara river for the great migration, a leopard, cheetahs and all the other big five including the rhino which is more difficult to see in these parts). Simon, the boys' guide, was very empathetic with them and made them have a lot of fun, creating a real friendship. A special mention for our chef Dullah who truly pampered us (italians very attentive to food) with all sorts of delicacies from breakfast to lunch (always hot and served at the table even in the most remote areas of the parks) to dinner. Particularly pleasant was being able to celebrate the birthday of one of the group complete with cake, candles and happy birthday songs from all the staff.
Thank you Serengeti Wakanda for all this and for this unforgettable experience.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Exceptional Service"
5/5

My family recently returned from an incredible 4-day safari with Serengeti Wankada Tours and Safaris, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the moment we landed in northern Serengeti for the migration, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Reuben, was outstanding —his expertise and keen eye ensured we witnessed the Big Five and incredible migration action.

The seamless transition from northern Serengeti to the central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was expertly handled, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable wildlife encounters at every turn. A special shoutout to Aishwarya, who organized the entire trip flawlessly. Her professionalism, excellent communication, and prompt responses made the planning process effortless and enjoyable.

If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience, Serengeti Wankada Tours and Safaris is the way to go. Their exceptional service and attention to detail guarantee a trip you'll remember for a lifetime.

Unforgettable!
5/5

From beginning to end Serengeti Wakanda made our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Communicating with Ushma was easy as we began to plan for our trip. She rearranged our itinerary and provided tips on how to get the most out of our budget and time frame. Our guide Felix was not only an expert on finding the animals (and birds!) but provided such wonderful insight and information about Tanzania’s beautiful country and culture. He started out as our guide but at the end of 5 days became our Rafiki who we will never forget! If you plan on budget camping make sure to bring your appetite because our chef prepared breakfast lunch and dinners fresh, and so much of it! Thank you to Serengeti Wakanda for all your hard work and kindness, we can’t wait to see you again!

Absolute best safari experience !!!
5/5

We spent 6 days doing safaris across Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro area. Everything was perfect and really well organized. Our guide, Andrew, was the best we could have, with lots of experience in safaris as well as fun and a very nice person. The Safari experience was absolutely amazing, going through stunning places and having the chance to see all the animals we could imagine ( many many lions with cubs, leopard, cheetah with cubs, monkeys, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, wild beasts, warthdogs… and so on )
I really recommend this company, they are really professional and they provide accomodations in such luxury and amazing lodges.

Filex can do it all!
5/5

We had the most amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda and Filex! We had never been on safari before and weren’t sure where to start. Beatrice at Wakanda was extremely responsive and helpful in guiding us how to set up the best safari. They were able to completely customize the tour to make sure we had the best experience that was within our budget and we could see everything. Beatrice was very patient with us as we decided on the itinerary and kindly sent over many revisions. Only now that we have finished the safari can we truly understand and appreciate how much time went into planning the details every day including our meals.

As for the tour itself, we were so thankful to have Filex as our amazing guide! He can really do it all and we always knew we were safe and getting the best experience with him. He is very knowledgeable about pretty much everything — we learned a lot about the animals, Maasai culture, Tanzania as a whole, different foods etc. He was able to answer all of our questions and it was evident he enjoyed teaching and serving.

We knew we were in the best hands — not only to get the best safari experience but also where our safety was a priority. For example, during the Great Migration, there were dozens of other tour vehicles there to witness the Mara river crossing; he was always able to get us to the best spot but explained why he was doing certain things to avoid a crazy accident. He knows the area so well and was able to get us to see 4 crossings!! In addition, there were many vehicle breakdowns that we witnessed during the trip (not all preventable, I’m sure); however, Filex was able to explain why certain breakdowns happened and what he does to avoid them. He also helped two vehicles get back on the road given his extensive knowledge in automotives.

Along with other impressive characteristics, we were also blown away with his ability to recognize and spot an animal from very far away while driving in difficult terrain. We were able to see the Big 5 and get the best pictures and experience!

The food that is organized through the company is also very impressive! We never went hungry and we really enjoyed the hot lunches provided. There was a good variety and everything was always fresh. The vehicle itself is sturdy and had everything we needed. Power outlet, wifi, and fridge with water, soft beverages, beer and wine. They were refilled daily so you never have to worry about going thirsty either.

Serengeti Wakanda is extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. We would go through them again and ask for Filex! :)
