An incredible experience. A 5***** Safari !
No notes or words can express my immense gratitude to Bartho (the local owner) and his entire team for an experience that will remain forever engraved in my mind, but also in my heart. A trip made with my 14-year-old daughter.
First of all, the e-mail exchanges went very smoothly and Bartho was able to answer all my questions and advise me.
Then, on site, our driver and guide, Bashir, who speaks French, was extraordinary! He made this trip the one I could never have dreamed of. He knew how to answer all our questions, was always in a good mood, funny and an outstanding driver in a not-so-simple environment... (only those who've been there can understand

A company with integrity
This company checks all the boxes and is really doing all the right things. They have integrity and deal with clients with honesty and care. We did a 6 day safari camping trip with them and had some of the best experiences of our life. Starting with Bartho who is the founder. He was clear and honest from day one on what you can expect for the trip. When asked about seeing animals he did not over promise or over sell, he told us what we will see and what is likely a rare sighting. He also breifed us very precisely of all the segments of our trip. Once we started our safari things just got better. Our crew were Felix and Dula, a very professional team that exceeded out expectations. Felix was the guide, he is a man of integrity and does his job proudly. I cannot express how much he over delivered, from waking us up extra early to beat the crowds to finding the right acacia tree to photograph sunrise from. The man loves his job and does it to the fullest. He is also very knowledgeable, it was obvious very quickly that there was no species of animals that he did not recognize. He also informed us about the culture, the tradition, and the norms of Tanzania. Regardless of how difficult the driving got, or how long the days were for him he always smiled. Than there was Abdullah (dula for short) who was our cook for the trip, he shocked the entire group with his cooking skills, especially given the very basic equipment we had at the camp site. It will get very lengthy if I was to talk about the verity and quality of food we had but I'll just say that we had soup, saled, a main course, and dessert for every single lunch and dinner that were of restaurant quality. All were amazing and very filling. I cannot express just how good the food was, we brought our snacks with us thinking we would need them since this was a budget camping safari....we never used them, we were fed like Kings. Dula even managed to bake a cake for my wife's birthday, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SERENGETI! If your looking for a camping safari trip do not hesitate to use this company, they really know what they are doing and will not disappoint you.

Amazing experience with great guide and chef
Our 6 days safari with Serengeti Wakanda was an absolute blast! Thanks to our super guide Felix and his experience we saw all the Big 5 (including the black rhino in Serengeti, which is extremely rare - there are only 14 in the park) and even cheetas. It really seemed that everywhere we went there were animals waiting for us. Felix was very knowledgeable about all the animals and their behavior and his explanations made the whole experience even more memorable.
The tent/camping equipment was very comfortable and our chef Doula was making sure we had a 5-star dining experience at every meal (with fresh bread baked daily even in the camp in the middle of Serengeti/Ngorongoro). We had a home cooked meal every day at lunch which we took at picnic sites in the various parks, and all the other safari groups with sad looking lunch boxes were very envious!
Cherry on the cake, we were proud to support a local safari company!

Very knowledgeable guide with amazing viewing experiences!
We had an amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda! Our guide, Bashir, was very knowledgeable about all of the animals in the parks. We started our tour at Tarangire National Park, where we saw countless Gazelle, zebras, wildebeest, monkeys, elephants, baboons, and hyenas. We then proceeded to Serengeti, home of the big cats, and boy was that a treat! We saw four of the big five in the Serengeti. It was like our guide could predict where the animals would be. Oftentimes, our vehicle was the first to arrive to see the marvelous sites. We also learned that cheetahs are critically endangered so the guides are told to interfere and protect the cheetahs when the lions are hunting them. We witnessed a female cheetah with two young cubs being hunted by at least two male lions, and we were able to successfully protect the cheetahs from being chased by the lions by blocking the lions’ path using the vehicle. On top of that, we saw a lioness hunt a hartebeest. It felt like nature was giving us a front row seat to some spectacular performances!
Our group also hosted our own personal chef. He was very personable, funny, and above all, an amazing chef! The food was some of the best I’ve eaten in all of Africa!
Our guide was also very friendly and accommodating.
I would highly recommend using Serengeti Wakanda for safari for anyone looking for an out-of-this world experience for a budget price. The only thing “budget” about four trip were the accommodations, but that was to be expected. We camped in tents for three of the five nights and the bathrooms at the campsites had hot running water and showers. They weren’t luxury and you need to bring your own soap and shampoo, but given that you’re camping in the middle of a national park, I was quite surprised by the level of comfort. The tents were also large enough to stand and they were always set up for us. For the two nights when we weren’t camping, we stayed at the Fig Tree Lodge. The rooms at the lodge were a little dirty with lots of bugs, but the people working at the lodge were very friendly and polite.
If you haven’t made up your mind yet about which company to book your Safari with, look no further. You will definitely be happy with Serengeti Wakanda.

Unforgettable!
We have a private 5 days safari with Serengeti Wakanda with my son. That was just amazing ! One of my best trip ever ! The Guide Andrew was very professional and knows the Serengeti by heart. He ‘s done his best aver time to show us unique wild moments with all the animals in every park. He has a huge knowledge about wild Fauna. His driving was very safe. The cooker was really excellent. He cooked delicious meals anywhere we go. We had lunch in the car with Lions !!! I recommand Serengeti Wakanda for its unique organisation !!! The team is really very professional and respectful. They did there best every minute to let us leave with wonderful and unique memories. We will come back for sure !!!

Amazing customer service
Highly recommend booking your tour with Serengeti Wakanda. We had an amazing time on our safari. Bashir was our driver and guide and Machete was our chef. We were able to see a lot of animals including lions, lion cubs, cheetah with her cubs, leopard, buffalo, elephants, zebras, hippos and also lots of other animals and birds. Bashir made sure we always had the best viewing spot and often we were the first ones finding the animals. We even saw lions hunting and the little cubs playing. Machete our chef always made sure we had plenty of delicious food for breakfast lunch and dinner. We visited many awesome picnic sites as well with great scenery to have our breakfast or lunch and also to drink coffee and tea. We felt very well taken care of as they also arranged our transfers from the hotel and back. Communication was excellent! Highly recommend!

Respectueux de la nature et a nos petits soins
We were lucky enough to spend our first day in Tarangire with innocent as a French-speaking guide, then for the other 5 days we were in Bachiri. All along we had machete in cook.
This safari was beyond amazing.
Berto who is the head chef came to see us the day before to take stock, he is a very serious person and it is reassuring! At least we know it's going to be square!
Innocent on the 1st day was great to explain to us and make us discover the rules of the safari.
Then match the cook who bears his first name well, I can tell you! This is not the week we were going to lose weight! Everything was really very good. Initially we expected to eat sandwiches but not at all every time there are 4 different dishes and all super good. If we don't eat everything we won't see the animals he told us! good impossible to eat everything of course but bachiri showed us a lot of animals!
Bachiri taught us to have patience! Waiting to see what nature will offer us! Always careful to know if we all have what we need. We were really very close to animals and nature. Only one animal to miss on our list. Which is rare.
Thank you all, thank you wakanda!

Great service from Serengeti Wakanda, We had a great guide (felix) with sharp eyes to catch the moments and kind. Good food and they chose the great accomodation with breath taking view at @mareraviewlodge. As gift we got masai cloth which was helpful in Grongoro in August weather to keep us warm and also surprise souvenir. I highly recommend them (kind and professional).

Amazing!
We did the 7 day budget safari with Wakanda and it was an amazing experience. We couldn’t think of a better company.
The Organisation was really great and the communication and the booking process really easy. Bartho (owner of the company) respond really fast and answered all our questions.
Our tour guide Abshir and Chef Dullah made the Safari so special for us. Abshir listened to all our wishes during the safari and Chef Dullah served as 3 times a day the best meal ever. Both were so carrying and we really had a lot of fun together.
The lodges as well as the camping sites are really beautiful. The camping material (tents, sleeping bags and mattress) are in a really good condition.
The airport transfer was well organized! We would recommend everyone to book your safari with Wakanda Company.
Thank you for this wonderful experience. We will never forget about it and hope to see you again one time.
