Unforgettable experience, family vibes
5/5

Hospitality provided was excellent.
The host guided us throughout our trip from arrival till the end of the tour. Everything ran smooth and they helped us with our COVID test (booking, transport).
During the safari the guide Malisa had good knowledge, he was engaged and shared amazing details about the wildlife. And we had a cook on board Dula who made amazing 3 course dishes on a daily ,Definitely recommend this tour,

Amazing experience!
5/5

The trip exceeded our expectations. Everything was excellent. Before the trip, Bartho was super helpful, answering all our questions and making sure we were prepared for the trip. There were no last minutes surprises at all.

Our guide, Malisa, was an amazing guy. Super friendly and helpful and willing to share information with us while keeping us safe.

The food was amazing. Abdula, the cook, traveled with us and we were one of the few groups who had proper meals during the trip, and not sandwiches in a box. Not only proper meals but amazing meals!

The campsites were simple but had everything we needed, with a plus for being so close to the animals. The whole tour was amazing. I definitely recommend it!

EVERYTHING was wonderful with our safari with Wakanda Tours! Our booking agenda was super helpful and kind, our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and our cook spoiled us with delicious food for every meal! I’d highly suggest Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris!!!!!

Dreams of the Wild/Wildest Dreams
5/5

For most of us, the adventure of a wild safari in Africa is something we can only expect to experience once in a lifetime. With so much expectation and desire riding on such a trip, it's little wonder that choosing a tour company can frustratingly difficult. Wakanda safaris lived up to all our expectations and then some, facilitating an experience neither I or my friends will ever forget.

The outstanding organisation, communication, local knowledge, and general amiability of everyone involved all contributed towards our adventure in Tanzania's national parks. We visited the Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. We saw lions, hippos, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos (at a distance!), giraffes, zebras, wilderbeests, baboons, and a plethora of other species that I either can't remember, or don't know the name of! Aside from the national parks and animals, we enjoyed countless authentic cultural experiences at the various towns and villages along the way.

Our five day/four night safari included two nights in a hotel and two nights camping. The hotel was very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. When camping, everything was taken care of, so all we had to do was enjoy a couple of drinks while discussing the sights of the day and enjoy the night sky full of stars. The chef/cook that traveled with us put together an impressive feast for us each night; the source of envy for tours staying at the same campsites. Our guide, Melisa and our chef, Dula, were at the same time both professional and incredibly fun. In most national parks, we'd regularly hear the crackle of the CB radio, with others asking Melisa where the animals were!

It goes without saying that I would recommend this safari, and have already done so with many of my friends and colleagues. I'm not exactly sure how Wakanda Safaris compares in terms of price at the time that you're reading this, but I will say that, for such a once in a lifetime experience, it's worth choosing a tour company that obviously has a passion for what they do, such as Wakanda.

It was just great. What a magnificant Safari it was.
5/5

We had just a perfect organised Safari. Bartho was very reliable about fixed appointments. We could not have a better service. All our expectation came true.
The Safari: Malisa was the best safari guide we ever experienced. Dula was a exellent cook, we had everiday 3 hot meals freshly made by Dula. People from other safaricompanies where jealous about our meals.
Malisa is the best guide because he took time for us to watch the animals, he explaned the habit of the animal we where watching at.
He took our handy and made fotos or videos while we where making pictures with the camera. Our group was very relaxed and so we had a good time together.
Malisa asked us for our wishes and he let us the time we wanted, there was never a moment that we had to hassel.
Many many thanks at all of you for this never forgettable safari.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

After my girlfriend and I decided to go to safari, I contacted Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris and their owner Bartho was very quick to respond. After a quick chat with him I realised that there is no need to search another agency and Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris should be a perfect choice for us. And it was perfect indeed! We had a 4-day budget safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and expected to spend 1 night in the lodge and 2 in the tents, but due to massive rains in the Serengeti area Bartho advised to have another night in the lodge for a really small fee, so in the end we had only one night in the tent. Despite the name “budget”, organisation was perfect, our chief Dullah definitely has a passion and our meals were absolutely gorgeous - no repeated meals, fresh baked bread, desserts - all very tasty. Also, our driver/guide Moody was always in a good mood, told us lots of interesting things about animals and local culture and traditions and did his best to spot as many animals as possible. Except for leopards (but sometimes it’s all about luck on safari), we saw every possible animal - cheetah, rhinos at a close range (very rare!), lions and their war with hyenas, and of course elephants, giraffes and many many more! Also, thanks to our small international (Tanzania, USA, Uganda, France, Ukraine) team (or should I say family?) for no delays in the mornings and a great atmosphere during our adventure.
I highly recommend Wakanda Tours and Safaris - be sure you will have a great unforgettable experience with their team.

A lifetime experience, amazing and unforgettable
5/5

I did a 5 days safari with them. We had a wonderful group of nice and funny people and our tour guide Malisa was I think the best tour guide you could ever wish for. He was so nice, funny and able to answer all of our questions. Due to him we were able to see all big fives... He told us to get up early so that we also get to see the more night active animals like the guepards. The food was great and the overnight stays in the Serengeti where the Hyenas joined us had been just incredible. During the night you could hear the hyenas laughing and the lions roaring as if they were just close to you. If your a wildlife fan, you shouldn't miss that opportunity. Even now when I see my pictures and videos I can't stop smiling. An experience I will never forget. Thank you so much for making this an amazing memory of my life.

Once in a lifetime experience!
5/5

We booked a trip to Tanzania for January 2020, with the main objective to go in a safari. After reading the reviews, we concluded that the best option was Wakanda Safari with the "5 days budget safari trip", so we would have enough time to enjoy the parks.
We landed in Arusha city one day before the trip start and Bartho, the owner of the company, picked us up from the airport. We spent the first night at Arusha tourist inn, which is a nice accomodation for every tourist in transit. During the trip we slept 2 night in a budget lodge and 2 nights camping (what an experince!!! My personal favourite was the night spend in Ngorongoro, the view was the best!)
The next day we met our driver Jackson and our chef Dulla. We traveled with 4 more people in the car: a smart belgian, a cool american and 2 nice swedes.
Our guide-driver Jackson knew the best places to spot animals, even the rarest ones such as cheetas and leopards; he was trully amazing as he saw the animals from far distance, without binocculars!! He explained a lot of interesting things about wildlife so the whole car ride was a pleasure. He gave us the time to admire the animals and the surroundings without rushing. Besides being an excelent driver, Jsckson did his best to spot the Big 5, so a big thank you to him! Also, a nice surprise for us was that it was baby season :).
Unlike other tourists who were eating sandwiches, we always had tasty cooked food( rice, meat, vegetables). Dulla is an amazing chef, we loved his dishes and appreciate his efforts as we always had at least one main dish and always dessert and fresh fruits. Imagine cooking pie and fresh bread in the middle of the park, fantastic!
Last but no least, Bartho was very responsive and helpful. He went with us to exchange money and gave us nice tips about where to eat ( try Kitamu coffe, it was Bartho's recoomandation and it's a really nice place with good food.You should try the fresh smoothies!) and what to do in the 2 days spend in Arusha. He also gave us a ride back to the airport and even helped us renting a car for Zanzibar.
If you don't know what to choose, we highly recommend Wakanda Safari! The team is amazing and you will surely have an amazing experince.
Thank you guys for everything!

Perfect Safari
5/5

I had a game-drive in January 2021. With a friend of mine, we visited Lake Manyare, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. All three parks are very different, can’t even say which of them I liked the most. Nature was terrific!
That was an amazing experience! All was good. Accommodation - simple but clean. Food was extremely delicious. Our cook Abdullah indulged us with fine dishes every day. How he could manage all of those even pastry with a quite limited recourse that is a mystery for me. Safari car with a pop-up roof was very convenient, they envisage even sockets there. They provided us with unlimited bottled water; we had also beer and wine. Our driver Malisa was an experienced guide. Educated us a lot about wildlife as well as taught us some Swahili and explained the traditions and life of locals. He was very helpful, attentive, proactive and friendly. Due to him, we had really great time. Many thanks!
Cannot but say I was pleasantly surprised with Serengeti Wakanda Tours’ punctuality, professionalism and cordiality. When in Africa again, for sure I will choose you guys for my new game-drive ))
