Great dream Safari
5/5

It has been a long time dream for me to go on a safari in Africa. I had hoped for a wonderful safari and was not disappointed. I had the time of my life in Tanzania. I did not want to leave. I saw all of the Big 5 one would hope to see plus more wonderful sights and animals then I could ever have imagined.

Bartho took care of everything including meeting me at the airport. My guide Malisa was absolutely divine and very well experienced. All of the prepared meals were superb. I would not have believed the meals where made in the field had I not seen it with my own eyes.

I highly recommend you book with Bartho for a great time.

Unforgettable Safari with Serengeti wakanda tours
5/5

A few months before the safari I started emailing Bartho and he never got tired of answering my many questions. He's an amazing guy who works to fulfill the customers experience. He even gave us the flexibility of adding more days to the safari which we did.
About the safari itself we had a truly magical experience. Ernest was one of the best tour guides we ever had. He was always willing to go the extra mile for us to see special animals in special locations and always asked us if we were ok with something. Dula was an amazing tour chef. We were expecting some sandwiches and some simple food but chef Dula put the bar very high in terms of quality. We had every day a 3 course menu for each meal and what amazing meals those were. Specially Dula's bread. Best bread we ever had. And all great local dishes and freshest ingredients.
Although we didn't get to see the big 5 we saw some very special scenes, leopard, and even a live cheetah hunting scene thanks to Ernest skill as a guide.
Even with a flat tire, Ernest and Dula kept it cool and managed the situation well.
In one of the last days Ernest asked us if we wanted to change our stop in Lake Natron and all because the lake wouldn't be as cool as we pictured, and to be honest I think it was a great call by Ernest because we managed to sleep an extra night in a lodge (which was very much needed) and we didn't get disappointed.
In the end of the Safari, Bartho made sure to meet me to get my feedback and the ins and outs of our safari.
This safari is so very well organized.

Absolutely amazing!
5/5

After months of careful research for the best Safari tour operator in Tanzania, we chose to rely on the Serengeti Wakanda Safari company which in the end turned out to be an exceptional choice for the unforgettable experience and the extraordinary service it gave us. Bartho the owner is a very nice and knowledgeable person with years of experience. Bartho organized everything and made sure that our whole group had breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by the Chef Dula, who delighted us with local and international dishes accompanied on request by beer or wine of our choice. The 5 day tour included Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National parks. Among giraffes, zebras, elephants and thousand of Wildbeasts, we were lucky enough to see at least 3 groups of lions up close and one day early in the morning we even got to see a male lion hunting a topi from the beginning to the end, which is considered very rare to see, as well as a beautiful leopard in a tree and also a cheetah. All this was possible thanks to Andrew our fantastic driver and guide, who with his experience allowed us to see these beautiful felines that are usually difficult to find and see up close. I would also like to mention the dessert that Andrew had Dula prepare to my wife as a birthday surprise, after I mentioned it to him just an hour before dinner. I seriously recommend everyone to contact this company if you want to get the most out of a Safari and ask for Andrew as a guide. To close I would like to thank Bartho again for the dream come true that he gave us, we will certainly treasure the memories for years to come. Asante Sana!

The best Safari Tour Operator in Tanzania!
5/5

Bartho the owner and his entire team at Serengeti Wakanda made sure we had the best experience possible, from the first communications to answering my many questions, to making sure the safari covered all our preferred locations at our chosen dates. Our tour guide and driver Andrew is very knowledgeable and a true animal lover, can’t thank him enough for all the info he gave us and all the animals he spotted for us. We even got to watch a lion in action! It was live a movie scene that we’ll never forget. Our chef Dula made delicious meals every day, including freshly baked breads and local Swahili delicacies. Bartho made sure we had plenty of Serengeti beer to wash it all down with. We travel all over the world and haven’t found such a professional group of people that love what they’re doing until now. I can’t recommend this operator fervently enough and I’ll surely use it again should our travel plans brings us back to Tanzania. Asante sana rafiki!

Lions, lions, lions
5/5

This tour exceeded my expectations. We took a tour to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. It was incredible. We saw so many lions, including a pride of lions (6 females, a cub and a male) as well as a male lion kill a Topi. Amazing. We also saw pretty much every other animal there is, including a leopard, cheetah, and so many wildebeast for the great migration. It didn't hurt that the food was top-notch either. Multiple course meals and professionally prepared. 5 stars all around.

Fantastic
5/5

It was an incredible experience. I strongly recommend it, I would book with them again. Great price-quality relation . Batho is very king and good professional, he organised everything for us, adapted to our needs and willings. We went for a excursion around Arusha (Materuni whaterfalls) and later a saffari including the car, driver-guide and cooker and lodge/tents (there is also a most luxury option) in the most relevant parks (Manyara, Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Thank you!!!! best wishes

Great bitesize Serengeti safari
5/5

We opted for the small-group option with mid-range lodge accommodation. The lodges were good value for money.

Bartho in the Arusha office helped us adapt the itinerary to our time and budget, and was always quick to respond to emails. Our guide/driver (Malisa) was excellent and spotted so much wildlife we could have easily missed. We only had time for a short trip but were lucky enough to have some truly memorable sightings, including a black rhino in the crater, elephant calves in Tarangire and leopards close up in Serengeti.

Highly recommend Wakanda!

It was amazing! Awesome animal sightings and amazing food!
5/5

We did a 4-day tented safari and it was really the experience of a lifetime! We saw all the big 5 and much more. Also a lot of special sightings such as servil cats and a cheetah. Our guide Malisa was very good at spotting the animals and also very knowledgeable, always explaining us interesting facts about them. Our chef Dulah was also great and cooked fantastic food for us. We really enjoyed it a lot and especially my friend was very happy about the excellent gluten-free food she received! The tents were huge and very comfortable and it was awesome to hear the animals so close by at night. Bartho was very kind as well, answered all our questions very quickly and patiently during the planning and booking of the safari. We were even able to arrange a short private tour with him to the Materuni Waterfall a few days later when we had a long stopover between two flights. All in all everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend booking with Serengeti Wakanda Tours!
