Highly recommended - request for Felix and you will not be disappointed
We decided to go for Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris because Ushma provided us with the best quote for our itinerary. This is our itinerary for the trip:
Day 1: Arrival
Day 2: Tarangire NP
Day 3: Serengeti NP
Day 4: Serengeti NP
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater
Day 6: Waterfall, coffee workshop, hot spring tour
Day 7: Departure
The trip was amazing and we couldn't recommend the operator, and our guide Felix enough. The highlights of our trips were:
Lioness stalking a group of zebras at Serengeti
Serval cat during the day at Serengeti
Close encounter with two cheetahs at Serengeti
Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp - amazing accommodation
Lioness successfully hunting a wildebeest at Ngorongoro
Black rhinoceros at Ngorongoro
(We didn't get to see a leopard though, guess another reason for us to visit again!)
Felix was very knowledgeable and always on the look out for animals throughout the whole trip. Also, recommending us to leave quite early for the morning game drive (at Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Those were the days that we get to experience the parks with very little tourists and many animal activities.
Must-haves:
Telephoto lens (slightly heavy but worth it)
Warm clothes (especially for Ngorongoro - we were freezing at 6am when the temperature dropped to 8C!)
Eye drops and scarfs (masks) for dusts during the whole game drive
Lens wipe - not just for your camera for also glasses/ sunglasses
Final tips:
Be prepared for the "African massage" - it was relentless. After leaving Arusha there is no paved road until the last day when we got back again. The guide will do everything possible to make the trip more comfortable but just a heads up that it will be quite an adventure.
Stay at least 2 nights in Serengeti! We wished we extended our trip to include an extra night - especially when we got to stay at Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp. During dinner we saw a hyena ran across the plains. The location, amenities, meals, accommodation are all on point. We cannot recommend staying here enough. An extra night would also allow for an evening game drive (or extra time to relax) so that you will have more opportunities to see different types of animals. If it was 1 thing we could change about our trip it would be this.
Be patient. The only reason we got to have a close encounter with the cheetahs and witnessed a successful hunt was because we waited. Some people gave up as soon as they arrived and didn't see any action. We are in the middle of National Park, not a theme park. Patience is a virtue.
Skip Lake Manyara National Park, we were told that the flamingos have not been spotted in this lake for at least 5 years due to water pollution. We made the right choice to spend more time at other parks instead.
Pack light. The space on the jeep is limited and the more you pack there more you need to carry and store throughout the whole journey.
Finally, have fun and relax when you are at the park. Do not stress over what animals you will see, and when. It is nature so nothing is guaranteed. As our guide Felix always said "You never know what is around the corner". There is so much to see, so many activities happening. Nobody has the exact same experience and that is the beauty of this trip. You will get to have a unique personal experience at one the Africa's best game reserve.

What an experience what a tour company!
Beatrice was extremely responsive to all our questions once we booked. We felt we were in good hands right from the start. Once we arrived, our guide, Edward, was waiting for us. Edward was a great driver, knowledgable and very friendly. Showed us as much as possible in our 2 day safari. Couldn’t have been any better… thanks Edward! The positive reviews are understandable. We travel quite a lot and would definitely recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours.

What a fantastic unforgettable experience
We had the best guide ( Masudi!). He was so knowledgeable in animals, culture and fauna that we learned a lot during the trip. We show incredible things thanks to his outstanding experience. The hotels were all unique in difference ways and of high quality ( we got the mid-range luxury option). Food was always warm and good and having some wine and beer was also very nice ! The car was of high quality and dispute of the difficult roads we had a very good trip in every sense. We just can’t wait to come back and for sure we will choose wakanda and Masudi as guide if possible again. Thank you so much, Asante sana!

Mashudi, we leave speechless
Luck is not something that is just there to be picked up. Luck comes, and one must be predisposed to it—prepared, no, beyond prepared. And so it was. Mashudi made luck a completely regular occurrence every day, knowing how to move, when, and where to stay. It has been very educational, and we leave this adventure much wiser. Do not hesitate to hire this company. Just look at the respect with which the other guides and people in the camps and lodges treat him. Thank you very much for this incredible experience.

Excellent
Amazing tour experience. Gave everything I expected plus more. Andrew the tour guide was super knowledgeable, humble, kind and personable.
Not only did we get to see amazing views and could spot animals that we wanted to see but also received context and knowledge about these animals and the wildlife ecosystem which added to the overall experience. I would 100% recommend

An amazing experience
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.

Andrew was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide.
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
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!
