Such an amazing experience!
5/5

I had such an amazing trip with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Our driver Ernest was very knowledgeable and had a lot of information to share. Our chef was INCREDIBLE. So much delicious food. And accomodation was organised pre and post safari- which is perfect and made everything so easy.
Bartho was a legend- responded to emails quickly and was very informative. The booking process was a breeze and he answered every little question I had. Airport transfers organised and he was super accommodating to everyone’s needs.

Would definitely recommend to friends!

Wakanda Tours organized the perfect 5-day Safari for us
5/5

We went on a 5 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro) with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and had the best trip we could have asked for. Communication, organization, service, and the team itself were excellent.

Bharti (one of the co-founders) handled all the communication previous to our travels. Bharti speaks excellent English and is a genuinely nice and honest person that helps you with all kind of questions before, during and after the trip. The organization of the transportation and safari were seamless and always on time.

If you book with Wakanda, ask for Andrew as your guide and Suleiman as your chef. Andrew speaks good English (he's also fluent in French) and knows everything about the parks and their inhabitants. Furthermore, he's an excellent driver (a skill that one shouldnt underestimate) and has eagle-eyes, which helped us spotting the following animals: Three groups of Lions, incl. cubs from less than 2 meters, leopards, cheetahs, servals, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, elephants, wilder beasts, monkeys etc.

Suleyman is equally cheerful and somehow manages to cook excellent food despite cooking on rather poorly equipped campsites on a nightly basis. As an extra he's also knows many things about the parks and animals and is happy to share his knowledge with you.

All in all, I can strongly recommend you to book with Wakanda. Other than many other providers, Barthi is not pushy and gives you all the time you need to make your decision. Wakanda also doesnt sell its customers to other operators in cases they do not manage to get a full group of six people.

A trip I won't forget.
5/5

After booking my tour with Wakanda, Bartho contacted me and answered all my questions regarding transfers from Kilamanjaro Airport, recommendations on where to stay in Arusha town pre and post safari, details of the safari, what to bring etc. He was very professional and timely. Our safari guide was amazing, knowledgeable and patient. We saw the Big 5 and so much more. Our chef made excellent food. The lodging and camping equipment were more than satisfactory. Bartho made sure all transfers were set up and on time. A quality and unforgettable experience all around. Thanks Bartho!

A Safari Experience That Is Set Apart
5/5

Finding a safari company in Arusha to serve as transport, guide, and handler of permits and accommodations is simple. There are hundreds. It seems as if everyone either is a guide or knows someone who owns a safari company. So how to pick where to spend your hard-earned money to ensure your dream holiday isn’t a run-of-the-mill experience? I didn’t find asking previous “safarians” helpful. They had nothing which which to compare, and everyone wants to think their experience was the best, right?

Enter Bartho. Does personality and passion count when deciding on a safari? Yes! One is sitting for hours in a vehicle looking at the animals and landscapes. He better be funny, amusing, clever, and willing to go to extra lengths to make me happy. I had the benefit of having been on a previous safari, so I knew exactly what I wanted and Bartho delivered it: speakers/playlists for the long drives to the parks and back, favorite snacks and drinks, specific meal requests for my Maasai friend, early entry to avoid crowds, campground with a view, a safe driver (if you’ve “safari-ed” you know what I mean), and information beyond, “Look, there’s a lion.”

I’m a selective consumer and critical by nature. I had a wonderful time with Bartho and Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Communicate your desires for your ideal Safari, and he will make them come true.

A delightful Safrai in Tanzania
5/5

The young entrepreneurs who run the company has been diligent with their prior arrival communication and the arrival and departure arrangement has been made with personal attention. Bartho and Carlson are very accommendating with questions and requests, ie binoculars and Coca Cola. I also leaned a lot about Tanzania from chatting with them as they are very open to share information of their country.
As a solo traveler, it has been difficult in getting a Safrai booking so I was very pleased to join two other solo travelers and a couple. Our guide Anward has over 20 years experience. His knowledge and passion of the parks and wildlife coupled with his sense of humour which made our long driving journey enjoyable. The public camping facilities are basic but adequate.

I could recommend Bartho and Carlson for others who are looking to do Safrai in Tanzania. They are equally professional and personable and their arrangement is reliable.

Great Safari experience with Wakada tour
5/5

l have contacted Wakanda tour via their WhatsApp number mentioned in their internet page. l immediately received information about the whole package.
Bartho and Carlson both are very friendly and taking care persons. They helped me with all my queries and took care of a smoot nice Safari experience. Carlson and Bartho have helped me with arranging my flight and Bartho has drove me to the airport and made sure l get my flight.

l have taken the budged one for 6 days. l met great people from Canada and from Europe during the Safari. People around you makes the experience much better.
we started at Tarangire, then Manyara, Serengeti and finally Ngorongoro. All different experience and different wild lifes.
l liked Serengeti most since we also stayed in tented camp in the middle of wild life.
we have been taken care very well by our cook and our guide. Our guide, Dougles, was very experienced guide and gave us many information about wild life and also about Tanzania and its cultural life.
l surely advise Wakanda tour to everyone for a great Safari experience.

THE BIG 4!! Can't ask for much more than that!!
5/5

Carlson and Bartho are the guys running Wakanda. They could not have been nicer and more helpfull. From arranging  (and included in the safari price) accomodation (night before and night after) , picking me up at the airport (such a relief not having to think about that one!) helpfull tips before I set off, everything!! In all fairness I didn't have a great budget, and it was 22h and I was trying to go on safari the next morning, and they still managed everything perfectly for me!!!
Six of us set off in a jeep, we all had window seats, which doesn't really matter because all the jeeps have hatch tops, so the minute you see something everyone is standing anyway.  Bottled water was included in the price (which isn't the norm, so keep an eye out).
I had chosen 1 day in Tarangire, 3 in the Serengueti and 1 in Ngorongoro. We did 1 night at a lodge and 3 were in camp sites, which was great because of wild life walking around at night.
It's all super safe, our guide knew where to go and we saw more animals than we could of ever asked for.
Carlson and Bartho kept in contact with me, which is kind of impossible, but when we passed through the gates of the parks we got a few mins of wifi and a message from them. And of course they were there to receive me on arrival.
As a tip, defo bring binoculars (or rent there), always use local currency when travelling, but I think in this case it's best to travel with us dollars for the payment of the safari  (they will apply the correct and up to date exchange rate) (and not old bills, best with recent date on bills). Everything else we payed in shillings.
Wakanga have a load of different options for different budgets. You get what you pay for and I always ask people not to try and haggle prices way down, since the park fees are high, and the team has to be payed.
I would suggest to contact Carlson and Bartho for any queries, because they are just so lovely they will help you with anything they can!!!
Good luck travellers!!!

Unbelievable!
5/5

Everything was awesome. The city tour, the waterfalls in the Meru Park, the one-day safari in Ngorongoro and the accommodation. A luxury service with backpacker budget! Definitely I recommend them! Don't hesitate!
