Incredible 6-Day Safari in Central Serengeti – A Journey of a Lifetime!
We had the privilege of experiencing a 6-day safari organized by Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris, and it was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Exploring the central Serengeti and its breathtaking surroundings was an experience we will cherish forever, thanks to the meticulous planning and outstanding service provided by the team.
Special Thanks to Edward – The Ultimate Guide
Edward, our guide, was simply phenomenal. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes, coupled with his warm personality, made every moment unforgettable. Edward also ensured that our iconic Land Rover was spotlessly cleaned and fully prepared every single day, ready to take us on new adventures. The vehicle, a classic beauty, stood out on every drive—elegant, functional, and the perfect companion for a safari. The onboard Wi-Fi, wide selection of beverages, and delicious meals enhanced our comfort, making each day a seamless and luxurious experience.
Accommodations and Highlights
Every accommodation during the safari provided excellent service and comfort, but a special mention goes to The Retreat at Ngorongoro, which truly redefined luxury. From its stunning location to its top-tier facilities, it was the perfect place to unwind after a day full of discoveries.
Ushma – The Key to a Perfect Safari
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Ushma, who expertly coordinated every aspect of the trip. From the very beginning, Ushma’s exceptional communication and attention to detail ensured that the planning process was stress-free and enjoyable. She was also readily available during the safari itself, making sure that everything went smoothly and answering our questions with care and professionalism.
Memorable Highlights
The central Serengeti offered unparalleled beauty, and encountering the majestic Big Five was an absolute dream come true. The combination of stunning landscapes, Edward’s expertise, and the comfort of our classic Land Rover made this safari a truly unique experience.
If you’re looking for a safari that combines adventure, luxury, and personalized service, we wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris. A huge thank you to Edward and Ushma for making this trip an unforgettable journey into the heart of Africa!
Perfect Safari
We had emailed Beatrice with our wishes and immediately received a suggestion for the tour.
The rest was coordinated via WhatsApp, Beatrice always got in touch immediately and made any changes we wanted.
After the tour was put together, we had to pay a 30% deposit. We were supposed to pay the rest on site in Arusha. Everything went smoothly!
Bashir accompanied us on our 7-day safari.
What a luck :-)
With his eagle eyes and years of experience, he was able to show us and explain all the animals.
Wakanda exceeded our expectations :-)
Thank you for the great safari!

The most thrilling holiday of our lives!
I was in touch with Ushma Pattni for booking the safari. Not only did she patiently answer all my queries pre-safari, she also helped with local flight delays and checked-in every couple of days to see how everything was going - such a thoughtful gesture.
Our guide was Benji - Such a fantastic guide, tracker and driver. He was also very knowledgeable, accommodating and funny. He gelled so well with all four of us. The safari would not have been as much fun with anyone else.
The 6-day itinerary and accommodations as suggested by Ushma were excellent - Ngorongoro Marera Mountain view, Serengeti Sametu and Lion's Paw. The staff was the best.
A special mention for Serengeti Sametu where we celebrated Diwali. The Indian chef prepared a veritable feast for us, accompanied by a local celebratory dance where all staff members joined in. We were very touched! Also, the bush dinner experience is one we will never forget.
The safari jeep was in fantastic condition. The fresh hot food served in steel cutlery versus the box lunches we saw provided by quite a few operators was much appreciated and also very delicious.
Safari highlights - the endless wildebeest and zebra herds on the endless plains, a cheetah with her cubs, a lion and lioness in their mating phase, a lioness chasing away a hyena and two lionesses chasing after and killing a wildebeest. Not to forget herds of elephants coming to drink water, giraffes grazing, a tree hugging leopard, and spotting (what looked like) a black rhino from afar. Also, there was a lioness roaming outside our tents each night at Sametu camp. So scary and thrilling!

Incredible Experience - BOOK WITH WAKANDA!
We booked a 6 day Luxury Safari with Wakanda after vetting many other safari options, and just got done with our guide, Andrew (more to come about him!). One of the reasons I chose Wakanda was because of the amenities that they offered during the safari, their incredible communication throughout, willingness to accommodate changes/different options, and they have an incredible social media presence which made me feel very confident in understanding what we would be receiving from them. We even added transfers and activities in Zanzibar (not initially realizing they also did excursions there), for the first stop on our trip last minute.
I've been looking forward to this trip all year, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Going into Safari, you can never be guaranteed to see one thing or another, but we were very lucky to have seen some incredible moments along the way. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Eyasi along with seeing the Hadzabe & Toga Tribes.
All of our accommodations were amazing, beds were comfortable, Wakanda handled all of the bookings, and the meals were all great.
Now on to our guide, Andrew. Wow, I was absolutely blown away by him. He has been a guide for 10 years, and his passion for the animals, and leading safaris radiates through all he does. He is one of the most kind & humble individuals I have ever met, while providing exceptional service & experience. For example, he practically grew up in the Serengeti, and as he stated he "knows it like the back of my hand" - can absolutely attest to that, as he took us to so many incredible places while we were there, with the best part being they were placed without crowds.
Outside of just the experience, he was very inquisitive and conversational, and we wanted to spend more time with him than we did just to talk to him more. He felt like family by the time we had to say goodbye. He claimed his English wasn't great, but I firmly disagree, it was fabulous. We saw many other guides who looked like they didn't want to be on Safari with their guests (from other companies), and that made us extra grateful for Andrew. We will absolutely be back and be requesting Andrew again, and you should too (just not when we come back to visit)! :)
I am going to proudly recommend Wakanda for our friends and family who want to follow in our footsteps and getting to Tanzania for Safari.

A truly 5 star, bucket-list experience!
Undoubtedly one of the most memorable 4 days of our lives filled with tons of animal sightings across spellbinding landscapes. Aishwarya was very prompt, professional and accommodating with all our requests. Her communication and guidance was top-notch. Our safari guide Felix was exemplary - extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and an expert driver. There was never a dull or unsafe moment with Felix at the wheel. We cannot thank and recommend the Serengeti Wakanda team enough!

Most memorable experience
We had booked our dream safari with Serengeti Wakanda many months back and were suppose to travel in July 2024, but due to some issues with my daughter's passport we couldn't make it in July. Wakanda were very kind and allowed us to change the dates for October of this year. Aishwarya who was handling the whole tour made sure of all the arrangements of our trip. Everything was meticulously was arranged which allowed for our special diet and also we need only one room with three beds which was also taken care of very brilliantly. From the day we arrived Aishwarya and Andrew, our safari guide, ensured we would have an incredible experience. What we experienced was beyond of what we expected in the safari. There was nothing that was disappointing. Definitely we made good friend with our guide Andrew and also definitely we shall use Aishwarya at Wakanda again for the safari to Tanzania.

Guide, knowledge, vehicule, lunch.. all is perfect ! I recommande Serengeti Wakanda tours at 100%!
The compagny of Serengeti Wakanda tours ans safari was very professional from start to finish. Very good organisation, the lodges selected were exceptionnal.
Our guide (Bashir) spoke perfectly french to explain with a lot of knowledge during the safari. He is a very good driver and know on witch place found the animale.
The vehicule is full equiped: energy, WiFi, fridge, binoculars,..
The food was very good ! With Serengeti Wakanda you have a hot lunch serve on a plate (not a small sandwich). Drinks are provided during all the safari.
So in conclusion: itt's my first time in safari and i think it's difficult to found a better team!
Thanks Bashir, thanks Serengeti Wakanda, asante sana
Very knowledgeable about everything in Tanzania
We had a wonderful time on the 6 night safari witg Serengeti Wakanda. During booking Aishwarya was incredibly helpful, responsive and was able to answer all of our questions and alter the itinerary to make it perfect for us. Our guide Bashiri was wonderful company and amazing at finding all of the animals. We were able to see and get close to the big five plus countless other animals and birds. It was truly a dream come true and a wonderful adventure for our first time in Africa. The tour was reliable and delivered on everything in the itinerary with the accommodations surpassing our expectations. We felt safe and welcomed everywhere we went. The only add on we regretted was the balloon safari which was very expensive and not worth the money, mainly due to our pilot not taking us up high despite the other three balloons going way up in the air. We spent most of the ride just above the grass so the view was not much different than the jeep. Overall we would definitely book with Serengeti Wakanda again!
