Reliable and helpful all the time and really committed and friendly.
Since contacting Africa Starpal they were always helpful and wanted our safari to be the best experience for us. We couldn’t be any happier with them! We did the 7 day safari starting in Nairobi where we had a great hotel with the best breakfast. We drove to Samburu National reserve and stayed at Sopa Samburu Lodge, much recommended. The first game Drive was incredible and just how we imagined it! Morris, our driver always made sure we know everything about the animals and the nature we saw. The second park was at Lake Nakuru. Morris made sure that we see some rhinos, which you can spot there. After this we went on to Amboseli Nationalpark and stayed at the Manjaro tented camp, one of the greatest experiences we had on our trip. The owner walked around the camp with us and showed us many animals at night. The park was amazing and we did a full day game Drive where saw a male lion directly at our car aswell as 9 lioness. It was truly amazing. We were dropped off at a train station in Voi and got picked up at Mombasa of a friend of them. He brought us safely to our hotel at the beach. We’re more than happy with our choice and would recommend them everywhere.

Extremely responsive and reliable, amazing guides, great value
My wife and I booked Meru Slopes for both the 3 day Mount Meru hike and the 5 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara). Leading up to the trip, we were extremely pleased with how responsive and helpful Jerome was in answering all of our questions about packing list, coordinating airport/transfer logistics, and making sure my wife’s food allergy was accounted for. All of the logistics were perfect, all drivers were reliable (and even taught us a bunch of Tanzanian music, which we loved). And the guides (Paul and Jonah on Meru, Jacob on Safari) and chefs (Jacob on Meru, Dula on Safari) were excellent (the soups here are so incredible…). Would 100% recommend this company to anyone else looking to book either the hike or safari or both. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and we felt that the tours were great value for the trip of a lifetime.

Action-packed
If you are after the ultra pro max of game drives, you’ve met your match. Being the F1 fanatic he is, Steve lives on a motto of the efficient and effective. Your game drives will be on 1.5x speed but don’t be fooled, his 50/20 vision will spot things not visible to the naked eye. If you aspire to be the Pokémon master of safari, you’ll be sure to catch them all with Steve and have the best time while at it. He’s also so knowledgeable about the animals and the routes which made for an action-packed experience. We were so sad to depart with him and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. See you around, Mr International!

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!

Excellent service
Very professional service. We had a great experience. We are very happy with our guide Rogan. He asked us at the beginning what we wanted to see and did everything he could to complete our wishes. He was also an excellent driver and we felt very safe throughout even on the bumpy roads. I would highly recommend.

A delightful experience with gorillas
We had a great time with Standard Safaris. From start to finish, we were very satisfied with the responsiveness and organization of our trip. Coleb, the owner, crafted a fabulous plan for our 3-day/2-night private tour to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to track gorillas, followed by a leisurely evening at Lake Bunyonyi—the third deepest lake in the world. Everything was clearly laid out, and communication was always prompt and effective.
Yonah, our guide for the 3-day trip, was knowledgeable, kind, and always attentive to our needs. His years of experience were evident—he knew all the best spots, expertly scheduled our days, and made our experience truly phenomenal.
Seeing gorillas in their natural habitat was the experience of a lifetime. We were fortunate—our tracking took only about two hours, giving us a full hour with the Bweza family. Our Bwindi ranger was delightful, with years of experience in the forest. She shared everything about gorillas—their habits, life, and so much more.
Lake Bunyonyi was another highlight. Our trip included a 1.5-hour boat tour on the lake with a local guide, who seemed like a local celebrity—his grandmother survived the punishment island on the lake. He’s also a community organizer and developer, running educational programs for the local population. In the evening, we took a plunge in the river and enjoyed phenomenal views from our lodge.
Overall, we highly recommend Standard Safaris for trips in Uganda. They exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely loved our experience!

Epic Rewilding Experience
We just got back from an epic experience of a lifetime in Tanzania with Safari GOATs! Our most heartfelt thanks 🙏🙏🙏 goes to Eddy, who captained us from the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater, across the vast Serengeti plains and back! We didn’t only get up close and personal with the BIG 5 (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino), but also witnessed a Wildebeest river crossing – with crocs in waiting no less!
As our guide, Eddy was reliable, resourceful and totally trustworthy over the course of our 12-day trip. But he was so much more! His cool, good-natured demeanor gave our journey a personal dimension that would not have been the same otherwise. Through his humorous storytelling we learned a great deal about life in Tanzania while sharing many laughs together!
Overall, our holiday in Tanzania exceeded all expectations! Our sincere gratitude goes to Eddy and Safari GOATs for planning our journey: from the terrific value-for-money selection of camps and lodges to accommodating our last-minute wishes and caffeine binges! Btw, any initial reservations we had about the food were completely unfounded—it was excellent! (Tip: If looking for a special nightout, check out the Lilac Oasis in Keratu on the road from Lake Manyara to Ngorongoro.)
Eddy had told us, "Nature gives you what you deserve, not what you want," as he took us on an incredible journey of rewilding. Still, the experience has left us truly wanting more, with the memories of the stunning scenery, fascinating peoples, and diverse wildlife still lingering in our minds.
