Book with these guys.
5/5

Our expectations were consistently exceeded every step of the way, culminating in a truly spectacular safari experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Bartho is a cool guy and his team are all fantastic. Our guide, Simba, really worked hard to make sure we had a great experience, several times flooring it to see something that cars behind missed. He gave us background on what we were seeing, including some of the conservation efforts and work that goes on to keep the parks alive. The chef (cook is not the appropriate word), went far beyond our expectations. While sitting in the campsites, other groups could be observed eating sliced bread and simple stews. We were feasting on freshly baked breads and pastries, elaborate soups, perfectly roasted chicken, etc.

There seem to be a lot of operators at this price range, but I cant imagine any are as good as these guys.

An amazing safari experience!
5/5

My friend and I went on a 4-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro where we experienced four amazing unforgettable days. Our always smiling guide Malisa was the funniest and he could answer all our detailed questions about the parks and the animals. He was enthusiastic, patient, caring and tried to fulfil all of our ‘animal requests’, resulting in spotting the complete big 5. He always found nice places for having lunch whereby avoiding the crowds. Moreover Malisa helped us with taking the best pictures and learned us taking beautiful close-up pictures by using binoculars and a phone.

The food Dula made was beyond expectations. Every night he prepared a three course dinner, starting with soup and homemade bread, followed by several other delicious vegetarian dishes and a nice dessert. On request he made delicious ugali with vegetables. Breakfast and lunch were also very varied and extensive including a lot of nice fruits.

The first night we stayed in a nice lodge with a swimming pool. The other two nights we slept in tents on campsites directly between the animals. The tent can be somewhat small for tall persons when lying stretched out. Don’t forget to bring a warm jacket since it can be quite chilly during the early morning drives and at the Ngorongoro campsite.

I look back on a fantastic safari! Although we went on a budget safari, it felt like a luxury all-inclusive holiday that I would highly recommend to everyone.

Asante sana!

4 day safari
5/5

I went with my girlfriend on safari with Wakanda tours. Our cook and guide (godi and jakob) were amazing and took good care of us. We even had a private tour the first day, a surprise bonus for no extra charge. The lunch on the first day was made by a restaurant and was okay, but the rest of the tour godi cooked the food which was really nice. Also, there was plenty of water. They even arranged a big tent, since I am quite tall (1.96m). The amount of animals we saw was simply stunning. We saw a leopard, cheetah, lions eating prey and hyenas awaiting the scraps, birds, spiders, lizards, the great migration, zebras, and many more. The scenery was amazing. If you are in Tanzania, please do not skip this. Wakanda tours is a reliable and high quality option. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for options.

Highly recommend Wakanda!
5/5

Our 5 day safari was such an unforgettable experience.
From the beginning, the communication with Bartho “the owner” was so smooth, he would be fast in replying our emails with a lot of information provided prior to the tour.
Our guide Malisa was just amazing, he is a patient guy who loves his job. He’s a skillful driver, given that the road was muddy due to unexpected heavy rains and we passed a lot of stuck safari vehicles, he had a lot of knowledge for wildlife.
Dullah our chef was something else. He would bake us fresh breads, prepare us delicious meals which came with wine and beers as extra. We also had unlimited bottled water supply.
Don’t forget to bring a sweater for the night in Ngorongoro

AHSANTE SANA RAFIKI, SEE YOU SOON!

Most amazing experience 6 day safari with Wakanda Tours
5/5

Thank you to Bartho from Wakanda tours for the most amazing safari experience. Bartho was an absolute delight to work with very responsive and even went out of his way to get a phone charge to me while I was on safari, Bartho saved the day. If your looking to do a safari through the Serengeti I highly recommend going through Wakanda Tours. A big thank you to our driver Eddie for a amazing tour and our cook Godfrey endless amount of food and sooo delicious. Once again a big thank you to Bartho at Wakanda tours I will definitely spread the word and will definitely be back to do another safari. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks
Kathy

Perfect Safari ! Thank you :)
5/5

It's a great experience that the Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris offered us for 5 days. We were delighted without having to worry about anything. And thanks to Simba, our passionate guide about his job, we learned a lot about fauna and flora. We even observed the famous "Big Five" !
The organization of the stay was perfect, and the employees of the company always available. We were even upgraded for two nights in lodges. Dullah, our cooking chef, made us absolutely delicious meals. And Bartho, the manager, helped us a lot for the rest of our trip, with a wonderful day including the Materuni waterfall, the coffee plantation and the Kikuletwa hot springs.
We therefore recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tour without hesitation !

A safari of a lifetime!
5/5

We did the 5 day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and had a safari of a lifetime! Everything worked out perfectly and exactly as planned. Bartho was our contact from Wakanda and from planning to payment and meeting in Arusha, there was no problem at all and Bartho was such a nice guy. During the 5 days on safari, our tour guide Malissa was always there for us, helped us whenever we needed a hand and gave us so much information about the land, people and animals we saw/met in our trip. Also Jesse, a cook, was with us the whole time and did an awesome job!
I just can recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and can just give positive Feedback. Thanks for an amazing experience and such a great time out in the Serengeti!

Awesome safari!
5/5

We did a 6 day safari tour that included Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The overall experience was amazing and Bartho and his team exceeded expectations. The safari package we chose was quite affordable and so the hotel at the start and end of the safari were fairly basic but definitely good value for the money. Our guide was Malisa and he was great. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable and just overall fantastic. While I am not sure how the animals we saw would compare to other trips at different times, we were blown away. Both by the sheer quantity as well as the quality. We were sleeping in tents for 3 nights and these were again fairly basic, but good value and added to the experience. Our cook was Jessi and he was also great. The food was mainly local influence from what we could tell and there was a lot of it. It was impressive what he managed to do on a camp stove. Bartho was very professional and great to deal with. Did everything that was agreed upon and was also full of knowledge about the local area. I would recommend this experience to everyone.

6 day safari
5/5

We had an excellent experience on safari for 6 days. Chose Serengeti Wakanda because of the price, the included accommodation before and after safari and the airport transfer.
They met our dietary requirements and even provided sugar free soft drinks which was a last minute request.
The whole thing was well organised, from collection at the bus station to drop off at the airport.
Special mention to the chef Dullah, who thanks to his previous traning provided restaurant quality food throughout the safari, which was completely unexpected.
