Amazing safari experience!
I can strongly recommend serengeti wakanda to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Tanzania!
I did a 5 day safari including Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was perfect. Bartho was very helpful organizing the safari for us, Andrew was the best guide ever and Dullah made us amazing food every day.
We saw all the animals, beautiful nature and stunning sunrises. Accomandation was great and felt safe.
Asante sana to the whole team! x

Great value and hassle-free experience
I’ve been dreaming of going on a safari forever and this trip exceeded my expectations! Went on a 5 day safari to 4 parks, so was able to see all that the region has to offer. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals and their whereabouts so we saw the big 5 and others in abundance. We had a cook with us who was very talented and the fresh meals were very large and much more appealing than the box lunches other groups had. Relaxing with a few beers around the campfire after a long day in the car was also very fun and unique to this tour. Bartho was very responsive and accommodating, which made this last minute trip for me possible. Being picked up from the airport and having lodging included before and after the trip was very convenient. Overall this trip was fantastic and I’m very glad I booked with Serengeti Wakanda!

Experience of a lifetime
We start our review with a big thank you to Serengeti Wakanda Safari Tours. That was the most amazing experience. This company is very reliable. Booking the tour was very easy with Aishwarya as she is very courteous, pleasant and patient. She accommodated our needs and booked the best lodging with great food and nice staff. She assigned an awesome guide/driver Felix. Felix made sure we see all the Big 5, see the migration and taught us how each animal survives in the wild and more. Felix ensured that our experience was memorable. He let us know the plan for the day. He always asked what we would like to see or do so he could tailor the days plan for us. He makes sure the picnic breakfast and lunch was warm and we enjoyed the variety of food. He constantly checks if we are comfortable and if there was anything else we need before we rest for the night. Felix is a Big 5: Funny, knowledgeable, good driver, has good eyesight and just an amazing person. Shoutout to him, Aishwarya and the rest of the Serengeti Wakanda Safari tours staff. We highly recommend this company.

It was much better than we could expect !
Wow,
It was a wonderful 2 days journey with our guide Bashir !
This man knows everything about the animals we saw. He explained us what we should know and had a plaisant sense of humour ! He is speaking French very well and has a good sens of anticipation.
We saw some animals and activities than other vehicles didn’t see.
Thank you so much to Bashir and the agence ! What a memorable journey for us. We took some nice pictures and learned many think.
Asante Sana !

Unforgettable!
From beginning to end Serengeti Wakanda made our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Communicating with Ushma was easy as we began to plan for our trip. She rearranged our itinerary and provided tips on how to get the most out of our budget and time frame. Our guide Felix was not only an expert on finding the animals (and birds!) but provided such wonderful insight and information about Tanzania’s beautiful country and culture. He started out as our guide but at the end of 5 days became our Rafiki who we will never forget! If you plan on budget camping make sure to bring your appetite because our chef prepared breakfast lunch and dinners fresh, and so much of it! Thank you to Serengeti Wakanda for all your hard work and kindness, we can’t wait to see you again!

Felix is a very kind and knowledgeable safari guide who loves the nature
We spent a total of 6 days on our honeymoon safari with Felix and Wakanda Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Felix is
a very kind and knowledgeable safari guide who effortlessly shares his extensive expertise about wildlife and the environment, making the tour both educational and enjoyable.
Day 1: We spent our first day in Tarangire National Park, which was a wonderful introduction to our safari. Felix asked from the beginning which animals and plants we wanted to see and tailored the experience to our preferences. The lunch on the first day, prepared by Dhula, was the best meal of the entire safari (though the rest, provided by the lodges, was also good except for one lunch).
Day 2: We explored Lake Manyara National Park. Although it was more challenging to spot wildlife here, Felix made the most of the park. If we were to do another safari, we might skip this part and spend more time in other parks.
Day 3: We transferred to the Serengeti with a brief afternoon game drive.
Day 4: We spent a full day in the Serengeti, and on Day 5, we enjoyed morning and early afternoon game drives. The Serengeti was truly impressive, with vast herds of zebras and wildebeest. Felix also managed to show us lions, a cheetah, and a leopard up close.
Day 6: Our final day was in the Ngorongoro Crater, where we started very early to avoid the crowds. We observed a rhino from a distance and had many other wonderful moments, such as watching hyenas fight and laugh wildly over food.
Overall, we are extremely satisfied with Felix and Wakanda Safari Tours and wholeheartedly recommend them.
Accommodations:
Night 1+2: Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge (The food ranged from good to okay)
Night 3+4: Signature Serengeti Luxury Camps (By far the best lodge, with excellent food and outstanding staff)
Night 5: Angata Ngorongoro Camp (The night was short, but the food was good, and the proximity to nature was beautiful)

Best safari with the best guide
My husband and me booked a 7 day safari with Wakanda Tours for our honeymoon. We read a lot reviews upfront and they were all absolutely right: You will have the best safari you can get!
Our guide Felix was awesome. He knows everything about the national parks, plants and the animals. And he is also a very good driver. He drives fast when there is nothing to see, but you will feel safe all the time. It’s impressive how he is multitasking (driving, explaining, spotting animals). We were super happy with him as our guide!
The accomodations were all clean and very comfortabel. The staff was always helpful and friendly. We liked the Signature Serengeti Luxury Camp the most. The food was also good, sometimes very good. Maybe next time we would book a mix of camping and tented Lodges, because the food cooked by the Wakanda Cook was the best :)
Thanks for having us!

Amazing experience!
We embarked on a 7 day safari tour with Serengeti Wakanda and our guide Bashir. The experience had been nothing short of amazing.
From the start, the communication and booking process with Aishwarya had been very smooth. Not only her email response was quick, but she also provided valuable advice and recommendation to customise our itinerary.
We spent 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in Ndutu, 2 days in Serengeti National Park, and 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area.
All the game drives were packed with actions, and this would not be possible without our guide Bashir. He had immense passion for the wildlife and a great sense of humour. He was very knowledgeable about everything we saw, and had unreal skill of spotting animals, large or small. He was very experienced at positioning the jeep so we would have the best angles to take photos but not so close that would disturb the animals. In the end, we succeeded at seeing all the Big 5 and many many more. We could not have asked for a better person to go on a 7 day trip with.
For accommodation, we stayed at Farm of Dreams Lodge, Camp Zebra, Into Wild Africa Luxury Tented Camp, and Ngorongoro Merera Mountain View Lodge. All the staff members were very welcoming and helpful. Special mention for Into Wild Africa - overall best accommodation of the trip.
Going on a safari tour would be an once in a lifetime adventure for most people, and we cannot recommend highly enough for Serengeti Wakanda and our guide Bashir.

Absolutely incredible dream trip
We booked our safari directly with Serengeti Wakanda after reading such amazing reviews online!
Right from our first enquiry email Aishwarya was so professional, responsive and quick to send us information and a proposed itinerary. Then a couple of months before our trip we got an email saying that due to the migration patterns and the weather they’d like to adjust our itinerary a little to give us the best chance of seeing animals, obviously they are the experts so we went with their changes happily, and really appreciated that change as we would never have known if not for them!
We were in regular contact with Aishwarya via WhatsApp leading up to our trip she was absolutely amazing at replying super quickly and answering all our questions.
Everything was taken care of. We were picked up and taken to our Arusha hotel and then briefed for our safari. The following morning we begun our safari!
We’re a couple and our Safari guide was Andrew, and Aishwarya also accompanied us as photographer.
The vehicle was great for us, it was comfy and plenty of drinks available. We had picnic lunch on the first day cooked by the Serengeti Wakanda chef :) very yummy! The rest of the time we were well fed at all the lodges, and had packed lunches by which ever lodge we were staying at.
We felt so lucky to have Andrew as our guide, he went to the next level to give us a unique experience. He knows exactly how to find the animals, what behaviour the animal is going to do and how to position the vehicle for the best angles to see them and take photos. He was so skilful at driving, we experienced more rain than normal for this time of year and so some roads were quite muddy, we were always safe with Andrew’s driving. He was so patient and knowledgeable and you can tell he’s so passionate about his job.
Aisha took some amazing photographs of both of us, and she’s a very talented photographer of all the animals too, some of the shots she got could totally be in National geographic! We wish you all the success in the future with your photography dreams, and hope your shots go viral many more times!!
Andrew and Aisha are so friendly, great stories and such interesting conversations, we learnt so much and they went out of their way to make our experience as special as possible. We now have some amazing memories that wouldn’t have been possible with out them! They are THE dream team!
We will never forget our time with you, we hope to come back as we know there is so much more to see! Thank you so much for everything - you guys are awesome.

Amazing personality, huge passion for animals, and a vast knowledge on wildlife
It is hard to find the words to describe how amazing our safari tour was. It all started from the moment we met our guide Simon. Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris did not only provide us a guide, but also a friend! Simon has a wonderful personality and a huge passion for animals! His positive energy and sense of humor made our trip memorable! He placed so much effort in ensuring that we always had the best possible location and view on all animal species. Whenever he would hear over the radio that there is a particular species or a pack of animals at a certain location, he would rush to that place to make sure we don’t miss the opportunity to see it! As a result, we did not only succeed to see all of the big 5, but made amazing photos thanks to Simon! In case an animal was far away, he did his best to make pictures look like it was just in front of us. His knowledge and experience provided so much context and understanding of the national resorts, animal behaviour, and laws of wildlife. He gave the answer to any question we had during our ride. We very much recommend you to request Simon to be your guide!
In addition to Simon, we also experienced a great organisation and support by the whole Serengeti Wakanda team! They ensured that we have the best accommodation, service, and overall experience! In case you haven’t made your choice, we highly recommend to pursue your upcoming safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda and Simon as your tour guide!
