Absolute best safari experience !!!
We spent 6 days doing safaris across Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro area. Everything was perfect and really well organized. Our guide, Andrew, was the best we could have, with lots of experience in safaris as well as fun and a very nice person. The Safari experience was absolutely amazing, going through stunning places and having the chance to see all the animals we could imagine ( many many lions with cubs, leopard, cheetah with cubs, monkeys, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, wild beasts, warthdogs… and so on )
I really recommend this company, they are really professional and they provide accomodations in such luxury and amazing lodges.

Filex can do it all!
We had the most amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda and Filex! We had never been on safari before and weren’t sure where to start. Beatrice at Wakanda was extremely responsive and helpful in guiding us how to set up the best safari. They were able to completely customize the tour to make sure we had the best experience that was within our budget and we could see everything. Beatrice was very patient with us as we decided on the itinerary and kindly sent over many revisions. Only now that we have finished the safari can we truly understand and appreciate how much time went into planning the details every day including our meals.
As for the tour itself, we were so thankful to have Filex as our amazing guide! He can really do it all and we always knew we were safe and getting the best experience with him. He is very knowledgeable about pretty much everything — we learned a lot about the animals, Maasai culture, Tanzania as a whole, different foods etc. He was able to answer all of our questions and it was evident he enjoyed teaching and serving.
We knew we were in the best hands — not only to get the best safari experience but also where our safety was a priority. For example, during the Great Migration, there were dozens of other tour vehicles there to witness the Mara river crossing; he was always able to get us to the best spot but explained why he was doing certain things to avoid a crazy accident. He knows the area so well and was able to get us to see 4 crossings!! In addition, there were many vehicle breakdowns that we witnessed during the trip (not all preventable, I’m sure); however, Filex was able to explain why certain breakdowns happened and what he does to avoid them. He also helped two vehicles get back on the road given his extensive knowledge in automotives.
Along with other impressive characteristics, we were also blown away with his ability to recognize and spot an animal from very far away while driving in difficult terrain. We were able to see the Big 5 and get the best pictures and experience!
The food that is organized through the company is also very impressive! We never went hungry and we really enjoyed the hot lunches provided. There was a good variety and everything was always fresh. The vehicle itself is sturdy and had everything we needed. Power outlet, wifi, and fridge with water, soft beverages, beer and wine. They were refilled daily so you never have to worry about going thirsty either.
Serengeti Wakanda is extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. We would go through them again and ask for Filex! :)
Amazing experience!
We loved everything about our experience with Serengeti Wakanda. The communication, planning and booking with the owner Bartho was excellent. He answered all of my questions and walked us through each step.
Our tour guide, Andrew, was over the top amazing! He seemed to have a sixth sense on where to find animals and made sure we had the opportunity to start our days early, as our best sightings often happened first thing in the morning. Andrew shared his knowledge about Tanzanian life and culture in addition to the Maasai and other tribes in the area. Andrew was organized, smart, kind and great with our kids, ages 13 and 11. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend him.
Our cook Dula was fantastic. Honestly felt like we were eating restaurant quality food 3 times a day. He was so much fun to be with and was always warm and kind.
Our last day in Arusha, the guide Ben showed us around the city, took us to unique places to buy gifts and souvenirs. We learned so much from him in just a few hours about life in Tanzania.
We felt the value of what we paid was excellent. Each guide we met spoke very highly of the owner Bartho and how the company is run, including taking good care of his employees.
Highly recommend you book your safari with Wakanda.

Reliable, safe, 5 star treatment at a fair price.
I discovered Serengeti Wakanda through excellent reviews on the platforms, and I wasn't disappointed at all. From the beginning, it was the company that best served me and instilled confidence among those I contacted. On top of that, it offered the best price. Our guide, Lalashe, led us with great safety and patience, which was certainly fundamental for an excellent experience. We saw many cars with mechanical problems stopped on the road and even two accidents, so a guide who drives safely and a reliable car are essential. Agent Goodluck was very attentive and helped us from day one until the end. The reserved hotels were amazing and contributed to making our vacation great.

Professional, attentive, responsive, good communication
We went through Serengeti Wakanda Tours for our private safari in Tanzania (contact Bartho via WhatsApp). They managed our safari from arrival to departure from Arusha. We designed with Bartho a 7 days 6 nights package including 5 days of safari as well as visits such as the Maasai market of Arusha, the Maasai village, the orphanage. The parks visited: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara. I wanted to share that I had a great time with our guide Bashir and our cook Msanya. Bashir has 10 years of experience and knows the national parks like the back of his hand. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 as well as many other animals such as elephants, monkeys, baboons, lizards, hyenas, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodiles, gazelles, parrots, birds of all kinds, a serval, a jackal, a snake and the list goes on! Bashir gave us great advice and maximized our time on site so that we could see lots of animals. Msanya cooks very well, he managed the 3 meals a day and he even made us a surprise birthday cake on the last evening. I recommend going through Serengeti Wakanda Tours with my eyes closed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything ❤️

Wakanda is the best Safari company ever!
We just finished our 7 days private Safari and we couldn’t be much happier. From the beginning of our inquiry, Aishwarya welcomed and satisfied all my requests and was always available to help us.
Best part of the trip is for sure our guide Benji, who made us feeling home and accompanied us in every journey, he’s the best without any doubt! Also food was good and lodges were beautiful. The best Safari company and guide so far!

Wakanda Forever!!
Operator Name: Wakanda Safari Tours
Contact/Planner: Aishwarya
Guide: Basheer
Day Trip Guides: John and Ben
Tour: 6-Day Serengeti Migration tour including game drives in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, plus a day trip to Materuni Falls.
Overall Experience:
Our experience with Wakanda Safari Tours was nothing short of exceptional. We embarked on the 6-Day Serengeti Migration tour and were treated to unforgettable moments, including witnessing a thrilling river crossing with a crocodile hunt and the rare sighting of a Rhino. The variety of wildlife—from Elephants to Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Hippos, and countless exotic birds—left us in awe. The picturesque views of the migration, with thousands of zebras, wildebeests, impalas, gazelles, and topis, were truly breathtaking.
Accommodations:
They arranged for very comfortable stays, mostly in mid-luxury range sites where cozy beds, private hot showers in the morning and evening, comforting food, and great sunrise and sunset views were standards. Aishwarya meticulously prepared us for each stay, setting clear expectations about what to expect and ensuring every detail was taken care of.
Day Trip to Materuni Falls:
We also took a day trip to Materuni Falls, which was an amazing experience. The hike up to the falls was enjoyable and not too challenging, making it a pleasant experience for everyone. The views along the way were beautiful, and the falls themselves were well worth the effort. We enjoyed a lovely lunch prepared by the Chagga tribe, followed by a visit to a local coffee farm where we had a great time learning about traditional coffee-making processes. We ended the day with a dip in the Chemka Hot Springs. While the springs were refreshing, we expected the water to be warmer.
Special thanks to John and Ben, who made our day trip even more memorable. They went above and beyond by diligently coordinating the transfer of our luggage to a new hotel when our return was delayed, saving us a ton of time and energy late at night. This is yet another example of the exceptional team culture fostered at Wakanda Safari Tours.
Planner (Aishwarya):
Aishwarya understood our preferences perfectly and crafted a flawless itinerary. Despite being vegetarian, our dietary needs were impeccably catered to, even in the remote Serengeti where she arranged delicious spicy Indian meals. Her dedication was evident throughout the two months of planning, always available to address every detail, even beyond regular hours. Her proactive communication ensured a smooth and worry-free experience.
Guide (Basheer):
Basheer was an outstanding guide, combining deep knowledge with exceptional hospitality. His friendly demeanor and patience in explaining every detail enriched our safari experience. His sharp eyesight and expert driving skills ensured we always had the best wildlife sightings, navigating amidst other safari vehicles with tact and consideration. From coordinating with camp staff to packing lunches and setting up meals, Basheer's dedication and sincerity were exemplary. Watching him do what he does from dawn to dusk, I now have a newfound respect for all safari guides. He also extended his care to fellow guides and stranded vehicles, showcasing a true spirit of camaraderie.
Recommendation:
I wholeheartedly recommend Aishwarya, Basheer, John, and Ben of Wakanda Safari Tours to anyone seeking a top-tier safari and adventure experience. Their commitment to excellence and the supportive culture at Wakanda left a lasting impression. Wakanda Safari Tours has undoubtedly set a high standard in the industry. Wakanda forever!

An Experience of a Lifetime with Serengeti Wakanda
We had the most wonderful time with Serengeti Wakanda. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond, offering enormous support both before and after the official tour. We are extremely grateful for the kindness and hospitality we received from Serengeti Wakanda.
Aishwarya was an excellent communicator right from our first contact. She crafted a fabulous plan for our 6-day/5-night private safari to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Everything was clearly laid out, and communication was always prompt and effective.
Edu, our guide for the 6-day safari, was incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic. It was evident that he had years of experience – he knew all the best spots, expertly scheduled our days, and made our experience truly phenomenal. Thanks to Edu, we had the experience of a lifetime.
We were fortunate to enjoy a 4x4 Land Cruiser with four seats. It was an extremely comfortable vehicle with plenty of space. The car was equipped with a charging port (with four outlets) and WiFi! Yes, we had WiFi in the car for the entire safari, which allowed us to stay connected with our families back home and share our amazing experiences in real time. Edu kept the car spotless – each day, he meticulously cleaned out the dust from the Serengeti’s roads.
We opted for the lunch and drinks package (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Initially, I assumed these would be boxed lunches, but Serengeti Wakanda does something special – they serve warm lunches on beautiful plates. We definitely stood out during lunch breaks – while others ate from cardboard boxes, we enjoyed delicious meals of rice, meat, vegetables, and desserts on dinnerware, complete with silverware and glasses of wine!
Overall, we highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda for trips to northern Tanzania. They exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely loved our experience!
