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.

5/5

Everything went smoothly, we spent first night in a lodge and the other two in tents. Daniel was very skilled driver and we managed to see the Big Five. Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro were amazing! I would recommend it to anyone.

Tanzania private safari Tour 5 days
5/5

We booked a 5 days private safari trip at the last moment. In one night the company organized everything, they are very professional. The car was very good. We had an excellent cook and guide. We saw a lot of animals and the guide explained the story of Tanzania.
It was a lodge and camping tour. For the camping in ngorongoto we advice you to take warm clothes as night is cold.
We recommend this company for safari tour. They are well organized, very kind and available.

5/5

This is one of the best safari companies in Arusha!
Whatever you need they find out for you!
Team perfectly on time, very consciencious, and best of all, clear and reactive to any question.
Very warmful and caring about all the guests to feel comfortable, while they are just making your dream true!!!
The trip was absolutely crazy with animals coming soooo close that you almost don't need the glasses.
Thank you to Salim for these laughing moments, to the best chef for the soups (my brother got found of it), and thank you Bartho for helping making all of it possible and that easy!!

Amazing 4 day safari - we could not have been more pleased with the experience.
5/5

My husband and I recently did a 4 day/3 night safari with Serengeti Wakanda and it exceeded our expectations! Some coworkers had recommended Bartho and the Wakanda team and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the Safari. From making first contact with Bartho, the level of communication was very good. He would reply to any questions we had straight away and was always available to talk to. He picked us up from the Arusha airport and took us to the hotel in Arusha. The entire Safari was seamless and we managed to see “The Big 5” thanks to our great safari guide Moody. We went to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and saw TONS of wildlife close to our safari vehicle. Our chef Dennis prepared amazing meals for us every day, we were alway fed well. We had fabulous dinner with our choice of beer or wine. We camped in the Serengeti and near the Ngorongoro Crater which was an amazing experience - the Wakanda team set up and took down our tents each day. The sleeping foams provided were super comfortable and the sleeping bags kept us warm at night. We would not hesitate to do another safari with Wakanda and we will continue to recommend them. After the Safari we went to Kenya and Bartho arranged the shuttle for us to ensure we paid the best price. He also helped us get a room on our way back to Arusha at a low cost. Big thanks to Bartho, Dennis and Moody we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. If anyone is thinking of taking a safari with Wakanda do not hesitate to book!! Asante sana!

Highly recommend!!
5/5

My partner and I booked our safari and Kilimanjaro hike with Serengeti Wakanda after a glowing review from numerous friends who previously went on a safari with the company. Both Bartho and his partner were incredibly welcoming and kind and went out of their way to ensure we were looked after and enjoyed our trip. Bartho was waiting for us at the airport the second our flight touched down and was kind enough to drop us back to the airport despite us extending our stay in Arusha at another accommodation across town. During our 4 day safari we had an awesome guide Salim who was very knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna as well as animals, and was helpful in answering all our questions! Our chef Dennis prepared hot meals for our dinners, and there was always plenty of food to go around! Bartho helped us with all our arrangements for renting gear for our Kilimanjaro trek and even kindly lent me some of his personal items for the treck. We felt completely looked after our entire stay, and Bartho was always around or a quick phone call away if we needed anything! Even after our tours were finished, we hung around Arusha for a couple days and bartho was kind enough to spend time with us and take us around to visit a few neat spots in and around Arusha.

Overall we had a fantastic visit to Arusha and would highly recommend booking your tours with Serengeti Wakanda! Thanks again for everything guys!!

5/5

e and my partner booked our Safari trip and kilimanjaro klimbing with Barto (SERENGETI WAKANDA), we found out about him through a friend that recommended him.
our trip was more than just great, we got a a feeling of care and kindness from the really beginning (even befor arriving to Arusha, Tanzania where he picked us up).
by being patient and nice he answered all of our questions.
when we arrived we had everything taking care of by him, the accommodation and the pick up and drop off from and to the airport.
we had amazing time and wonderful experience through the whole trip.
the food was amazing and our guide was really nice and smart.
we had no issues with the car (when we saw some some other cars got stuck on the side of the roads) our was perfect.
I defently will recommend to any one to book It with him!!
after the safari he took us to the hot springs near arusha where we had amazing time all of us!
I can say that he is more than just a person that gives 120% I found a new friend in Tanzania!

Best service, cheap price, friendly people, 100% mist try
5/5

They accomodated us for the first and last day which was super useful. The team is top notch, very friendly and answering all your questions. They provided everything and made the experience remembering. The routes and places of stay are very well combined and you don't feel tired at all. You can also easily see all the animals out there and the guides get into detail for each of them.

AMAZING!!
5/5

I went on a 5 day safari and it was an incredible experience!! Everything was very well organized and exceeded my expectations. Responses to emails were quick and everything was carefully planned out so that once I was there I didn’t have to worry about anything. Everyone was super friendly and more than happy to answer any questions that I had. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had a good time! My experience with Wakanda tours and safaris was so amazing that I already want to go back to Tanzania and do it again!! I highly recommend!!

Best Safari ever!
5/5

Was the best experience un our life. We had a 6 days Safari: first day we visited the waterfall (Materuni)and hot springs close to Arusha, and the next 6 days we visited the most important parks in Tanzania.
Batho (sorry if it's not written well) organized for us everything and It was great. We strongly recommend him, not only because of price but also because of best services, guides, car and chefs.
