Truly exceptional, 100% recommend!
We had a truly exceptional experience with Serengeti Wakanda and would 100% recommend them to our friends and family!
As a couple that had requested quotes from 10+ tour operators for a ~10 day private safari, we can say that we found the best: a trustworthy and professional local Tanzanian provider that offers great service at a fair price. We were very satisfied with everything, especially our guide Felix, our chef Dullah, the planning and provided equipment.
Our guide, Felix, was the best one could imagine! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local fauna and knew where and when to find which animal. We saw essentially all animals possible, including the big five, multiple cheetahs and even servals. Felix knew every animal and every bird we encountered, spotted them from afar and could explain their behaviors. Often even anticipating behaviors, which is very helpful for photography.
With his vast experience, kindness and wit, he was a great conversation partner. Felix shared interesting anecdotes and gave insights into the Tanzanian cultures. Where he went, he was highly respected and quickly connected with the people surrounding him. Also, he was a very safe driver.
We were lucky to have head chef Dullah as our cook. He was a master of improvization, creating delicious dishes with simple means. He even made a cake in the middle of the Serengeti, that could easily compete with cakes served in European cafés using his "magic box". We always looked forward to the surprises that Dullah cooked for us with his magic! And wherever we ate, heads turned when Dullah presented his creations, which were clearly superior to what was served by other providers that we saw.
We also had an easy and always quick communication during the planning of our tour.
Our car, a Defender, was complimented by other guides multiple times. We had enough space for everything that we needed and more legspace than most other safari cars that we saw, we felt very safe and got through all muddy roads successfully.
Overall, we had a truly unforgettable time, asante sana for everything! We hope to be back soon.

An amazing experience of a lifetime
Truly an amazing experience! Our point of contact for the logistics was Ushma and our really skilled and experienced driver was Edwards. Both went above and beyond and ensured we had the best possible experience!
Ushma was always ready to help us with anything we might needed, such as arranging our transfer from the airport. Edward with over 15 years experience has been an exceptional driver! He has been really friendly and polite during our 4 days with him. He also shared his knowledge of the animals and the Tanzanian culture. Thanks to him we learn something new, we saw some really great landscapes and animals. I can't recommend enough Wakanda. Ask for Edward and you will be really pleased with your safari!
We also loved the lodge in Ngorongoro and the tent in Serengeti! The first and last accommodation, Tulia Hotel, was very disappointed, really below average. Hopefully Wakanda will find a better accommodation in the future.

An unforgettable experience in the heart of Tanzania with an exceptional team!
We had an incredible time thanks to Serengeti Wakanda! From the very beginning, the organization was perfect, and everything was planned to make our trip unforgettable.
A huge thank you to our guide Zephania, who was exceptional throughout the adventure. His passion for his job and his immense knowledge of the places and animals made every moment unique. He went above and beyond to show us the best spots, with flawless communication in French. It was truly a pleasure to travel with someone so dedicated and professional!
And what can I say about Ashraf, our cook? His dishes were delicious and prepared with so much care. His talent and passion truly added a warm and human touch to the experience.
Lastly, the landscapes were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to see extraordinary wildlife. Everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment.
Thank you to the entire team for this memorable journey. Congratulations on such a well-run business—you should be very proud! We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda without hesitation!

Friendly, Professional, Safe!
I recently had an incredible experience with Felix from Serengeti Wakanda Tours during my Tanzania safari. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and local culture made every moment enjoyable and educational. Felix was not only friendly but also attentive to our needs, ensuring we had a comfortable and memorable trip. We saw a stunning variety of animals up close, and his passion for the region was evident throughout the tour.
Felix is an outstanding tour guide who prioritizes safety and cleanliness. He is a very safe driver, expertly navigating rough roads while ensuring passenger comfort. Each day, he makes sure that the truck is clean and well-maintained, enhancing the overall experience!
I highly recommend Felix as a guide for anyone looking to explore Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes and wildlife!

Highly professional, friendly, and transparent
My girlfriend and I recently completed a 6-day safari tour, which included 2 nights in the Serengeti and 1 night in the Ngorongoro Crater, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we began planning, everything exceeded our expectations, thanks to the exceptional team behind this trip.
Our contact person, Aishwarya, was incredibly responsive and helpful. She answered all our questions quickly and made us feel confident throughout the booking process. We opted to transfer money via bank transfer instead of paying cash on arrival, and the team’s transparency and professionalism made us feel completely at ease with this choice.
What truly set this experience apart was the team’s willingness to customize the itinerary to match our preferences. When we expressed interest in spending more time in the Serengeti and doing a balloon safari, they seamlessly adjusted the plan. We made the decision to skip Tarangire National Park to make it happen and feel it was worth it.
Our guide, Luis, played a huge role in making the safari unforgettable. His expertise, friendly demeanor, and attentiveness ensured we had the best experience possible. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure we spotted wildlife, enjoyed the stunning landscapes, and learned about the rich ecosystem of the parks.
We stayed in luxury tented accommodations, which was an incredible way to feel close to nature without sacrificing comfort. We particularly loved our stay at Signature Camp in the Serengeti. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife and enjoying the breathtaking views was truly magical. The only change we might have considered was upgrading to a lodge for our night at Ngorongoro due to the cooler temperatures, but even then, the facilities at the tented camp were well-maintained and comfortable.
The balloon safari was a highlight of the trip and worth every penny. While safaris are undeniably an expensive endeavor, the incredible service, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and personalized touches made us feel it was great value for money.
Overall, we would highly recommend this safari team to anyone considering a trip. From the smooth planning process to the unforgettable memories made on the ground, this was truly a dream adventure.
Thank you to Aishwarya, Luis, and the entire team for giving us an experience we will treasure forever!

Amazing journey in Tanzania
We had an amazing time all through our journey.
Our guide Meritho has been wonderful. He made us discover Tanzanian culture and history on top of being an amazing leopard spotter. We feel lucky that Meritho has been part of our journey in Tanzania has he knew all the parks we visited so well he could manage to bring us at the right place at the right time to catch special moments of our favorite animals.
Elephants, rhino, lions, leopards, Buffalos, the big five was all whitenessed from close range in almost a morning!
Many more beautiful animals such as Cheetah's, girafes, Zebras, monkeys... And many more!
The hotel during the journey are really nicely selected.
We were extremely happy with the food offered during the whole experience. It is really healthy and tasted so good especially in the middle of the savannah!
THANK YOU!

Excellent tour organisation and service
Aishwarya and the team were nothing short of exceptional in planning and organising our safari experience, they suggested excellent additions to the trip based on the season so we had fantastic sightings and managed to see all the animals we were looking forward to seeing. Our guide Filix was very knowledgeable about the local species and their behaviours. He went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our journey.

A fantastic company that looked after every aspect of our tour from start to end.
We have just returned from a 4-day safari booked with Serengeti Wakanda and we really cannot rate them highly enough. From booking, they kept in touch and up-to-date with the travel plan, from collecting us from our hotel in Zanzibar through to our guide meeting us in Tanzania. The tour was faultless and the quality of the accommodation exceptional, especially the Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented camp. The camp itself was beautifully built and very sympathetic to the environment, predominantly powered by solar. But it was the fantastic staff that really made it such a fabulous stay. The camp provided our picnics for two days of our safari tours and it was very good food. Wakanda arranged a balloon safari for us, which is an incredible extra and a real bonus of the whole trip. But the aspect that made our tour so enjoyable was out fantastic guide, Landolin, who had such a depth of knowledge of the animals, and history of the region, we felt we were learning so much with every conversation. He clearly cared a great deal and had a great deal of pride for his work. Thank you to all the team - it was a fantastic trip with memories that we will treasure for a long time to come.

I feel at home and absolutely welcomed.
This is a local company which I suggest people to go with. They not only take care of you, but also know the history, culture, and environment. I and my family had a great time with experienced, knowledgeable, and responsible tour guide - Filix.
Communication is super easy, you just arrive here to see your tour guide, and he will arrange everything for you. You don’t need to worry about anything but enjoy!
The guide is knowledgeable and almost could answer all my questions. I learned animals and their habits. I meet local people and make a few friends. I also know a bit of the history, the society and local people’s life. This is what I come here for, the company fulfil it.

An unforgettable journey!
For our first trip to Tanzania, we chose Serengeti Wakanda, after reading the countless positive reviews and seeing the availability shown right from the start by our correspondent Beatrice.
Well, what can I say, this trip was incredible, made perfect and unforgettable by Edward, our wonderful guide. The latter speaks English very well, was always very helpful, cheerful, ready to laugh with us, to answer our countless questions with kindness and professionalism. He was able to make us live this experience in the best possible way, satisfying our every desire (He also took us to visit a Masai village, local markets and to a structure where they explained to us how typical Tanzanian stones are extracted and worked).
Not to be taken for granted, he is very good and expert at driving on particularly bumpy and muddy roads, he knows every map and timing by heart and during the safaris he always gave his all to let us see as many animals as possible up close… he even helped a driver stuck in the mud, because as he taught us what really matters is: Hakuna Matata!
Safaris in Tanzania are really worth it (it's not our first experience in Africa, but this one is worth gold!), as is traveling with Wakanda: beautiful facilities, spectacular food (they have omnivorous and also vegetarian and vegan options) prepared by the staff chefs (even for picnics), jeeps that are always clean and fully equipped with water, always fresh drinks, Wifi and sockets... what more could you ask for?
We carry Edward, Serengeti Wakanda and all of Tanzania in our hearts... so much so that we will return in August!
Ahsante sana Tanzania, Jambo Jambo!
