An amazing experience
5/5

My recent safari adventure in Arusha exceeded all expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime. From the moment we arrived at the stunning safari lodge, nestled in the heart of the African wilderness, we knew we were in for an extraordinary experience.

The highlight of our journey was undoubtedly our guide, Andrew. From the very beginning, Andrew was incredibly welcoming, instantly making us feel at home in the vast and untamed landscape. His warm and friendly demeanor set the tone for our entire trip, and it was evident that he was genuinely passionate about sharing the wonders of the safari with us.

His keen eye and deep understanding of animal behavior ensured that we never missed a moment of excitement. Whether it was spotting a pride of lions basking in the sun, tracking a herd of elephants or identifying the myriad of bird species. Andrew had an uncanny ability to bring the magic of the wilderness to life.

In conclusion, this safari trip in Arusha was an extraordinary adventure, made all the more special by Andrew. His welcoming nature, extensive knowledge, and unwavering dedication transformed our journey into a truly magical experience. I highly recommend this Serengeti wakanda safari to anyone seeking an unforgettable encounter with nature, guided by one of the best in the business.

The service was great. A very trustworthy company who explained everything along the way. Andrew made life very easy for us, and he knew the entire tour area like the back of his hand. His knowledge of the animal kingdom and Masaai life is second to none.

Great Experts in Great Migration Luxury Safari for 7 Days
5/5

One of the best and most memorable trips I have had so far which was planned for me! Special mentions are in order! Let’s start with Aishwarya who was the coordinator and planner for the entire trip! Her expertise in guiding me picking the right zones, being insistant on staying in certain camps shows her deep knowledge of Serengeti!! We witnessed migration from our hotel porch with a glass of wine which was cherry on the cake after already seeing it across the Ghrumeti!! She is so patient and attentive! Not to mention extremely accommodating end moment dietary changes as well and making sure the chefs across our camps served us well! A car full of wine beer and fruits and water at all times everyday!! Blankets and pillows in the car for comfort during game drives was exceptional!! Luxury at its best and worth every penny spent!! Next is our excellent guide Benji on the trip!! He was not only patient with our excited son but kept sharing his knowledge about Serengeti, the tribes on the way!! He knows the savanna very well and his instincts about finding, following and waiting up on the wild is spot on. Thanks to him to seen multiple attempts at kill by tigresses in our safari! Spotted cheetahs and leopards which are super rare apart from the multiple pride of lions! Must mention his excellent photography skills and he would willingly oblige taking great pictures for us while we enjoyed the wild in action and shared the memory card at the end of the trip! Super genuine and always smiling and willing to go the extra mile just so you can enjoy the best!!
Big big shout out to the entire team at Wokanda for making it a lifetime experience we will cherish forever! The great migration with the greatest team!! Highly recommend!! Trust them!

Unforgettable 4 day safari with Bashir
5/5

4 day fly-in fly-out tour from zanzibar, all organized by wakanda tours. They arranged pick up from the hotel to the airport in the morning for the direct flight to seronera airstrip. Our guide Bashir was there waiting for us and we immediately decided on the game drive in the Serengeti park. On the first day we focused on predators, and we immediately spotted a leopard and some cheetahs. We spent the night at the sound of silence lodge which is one of the best in the park, attentive service and fantastic tents with zebras and antelopes sleeping just outside. On the second day we visited the western part of the park and followed the great migration of wildebeest and zebras, as well as many other animals. On the third day we left for the ngorongoro crater, where in addition to lions and elephants we managed to spot the black rhino, we spent the night at the tloma lodge, a beautiful resort in the middle of the jungle. On the last day we headed to Tarangire park in search of elephants. After having lunch in the jeep surrounded by a very large herd we were lucky enough to spot a leopard near the river. From here we headed to Arusha airport for the flight back to Zanzibar. The tour was very well organized by Wakanda Tours and Safaris and our guide Bashir was perfect, always doing his utmost to make us appreciate every aspect of the safari. KARIBU

Enchanting safari experience
5/5

Serengeti Wakanda is your one stop place for everything in Tanzania. They are experts in their field and possess immense knowledge on how to plan the safaris , booking of luxury tents and meticulously planning meals for each day. Our entire experience was smooth from booking to game drives to internal flights thanks to Aishwarya. She is extremely patient and responds to every query/ questions and umpteenth number of phone calls with ease. Their Safari car was also extremely comfortable with cold beverages were provided. I have no words to to describe our Guide Mandela. He was a true gem of Serengeti. He had tremendous knowledge of every Animal and almost know entire Savanna. Definitely recommend them for everyone who plans a visit to Tanzania ne Zanzibar!!!

Awesome Experience! I hope that everyone could do it. To see such an array of the most exciting wild animals in the same habitat was just incredible. Our guide, Andrew was great, very knowledgeable with a great level of English that helped make the experience complete, and best of all he was extremely nice, along with all the lovely and hospitable Tanzanians we met along the way.

Excellent !! Best experience ever!
5/5

When we decided to have this experience, I started researching for months before deciding the company to go with. This is how I found Wakanda but one of the things got my attention was the fact that in the majority of the reviews one name was mentioned many times, Andrew. And now I understand why. I requested 3 months in advance having Andrew as our guide and we couldn’t be happier and thankful with his service. He’s super knowledgeable, kind, patient ( we’re a family of 4 with 2 girls 12 and 17 ) he went beyond our expectations and made our experience in Tanzania a lifetime memory. Thanks Wakanda and specially Andrew for being such an amazing guide. Highly recommended it!

Experience of a lifetime
5/5

We had an amazing 7-day safari with Bashir - the map of serengeti - as he knows ALL the roads by heart and never checked a map or gps (mindblowing). He was very knowledgeable and experienced, and happy to answer all the questions we had.
Thanks to his work, we managed to see two rare events, such as cheetahs with cubs eating a thompson gazzelle and lioness with cubs eating an eland, on the same afternoon in eastern Serengeti!
In every accomodation we stayed, every single person was nice to us and really made their best to make our holiday smooth and enjoyable.
On the first actual safari day (the first day is for arrival and preparation), we explored the Tarangire National park, where we had the chance to see zeebras, impalas, vervet monkeys, warthogs and of course two big herds of elephants drinking water in a river and a lake.
On the second day, we travelled to Serengeti National park and had our best game drive in the eastern part, where we saw a lot of cats (lions and cheetahs), all types of gazelles, buffalos, elephants, secretary birds, jackals and the two rare events I mentioned above.
On the third day we visited the central and northern part of the park, with the main highlights being the wildebeest and zeebra migration, a group of elephants at short distance, hippos, a few crocodiles and baboons.
On the forth day we had a last game drive in serengeti in the morning, when we saw a lions crossing our road and joining a big group of other lions (not too far from our accomodation), vultures eating a wildebeest and giraffes, before heading to our next accomodation in the ngorongoro crater rim.
The following morning we drove down to the crater, which has breathtaking views, where we saw flamingos in the lake, crane birds, a serval cat (very rare to spot), a few lions (including an old lion walking right next to our car), an old hyena, elephants, wildebeest, zeebras, buffalos, and were we able to spot a black rhino, but unfortunately it was quite far away and we didn't manage to take a good look at it.
On the last day we visited the very interesting village of Materuni and we did a small but challenging hike to the waterfalls, where we saw coffee, banana and potato trees along the way. In the village we also had a demonstration of how coffee is made (tour highly recommended) from bean to cup and we tasted some coffee produced at the moment.
We had a very tasty local lunch in the village and we headed to our last stop to swim in the hot springs pools before saying goodbye to Bashir and flying to Zanzibar.
