The experience of a lifetime!
I can’t say enough good things about this tour group. Since k was 16 years old (almost 30 years ago!) and saw Lion King for the first time, I have dreamed of traveling to see the beauty of Africa. Sperito and his team helped all of my dreams come true and were so kind and accommodating for the entirety of the trip.

Service-orientated, communicative, highly knowledgeable and kind
I have just completed an 11-day safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda. It was undoubtedly the best holiday of my life and I cannot recommend this company enough.
The trip was for my 30th birthday and included 14 people. I sent inquiries to six tour companies with excellent customer reviews. I received custom itineraries from four of them and decided to go with Serengeti Wakanda based on the price, quality and depth of detail in the itinerary, and great responsiveness to follow up questions. Big thanks to Goodluck in the booking office for being a terrific planner and communicator!
From the moment we landed to the moment we took off, we felt well taken care of. Serengeti Wakanda coordinated transportation to/from the airport and a hotel in Arusha for the nights before and after the safari. They also selected and booked the camps where we stayed within the parks, all of which were fantastic.
Our guides (Andrew and Elli) picked us up from the hotel and remained with us for the duration of our experience, starting with a day trip to Materuni waterfalls and a chance to experience small scale coffee production in the nearby village. Over the course of the next 10 days, we visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorogoro Conservation Area (Ndutu and Ngorogoro Crater), and Lake Manyara NP.
Andrew (Senior Guide) demonstrated a profound understanding of animal behavior, encyclopedic knowledge of everything we encountered, and a mental map of the parks that was truly remarkable. His 11 years of experience as a guide were evident. He correctly predicted animal movements to put us in position for some incredible shots before other jeeps (actually, specialized Toyota Landcruisers) which were competing for the best view. He was able to answer every question we had (and we had a lot) about the animals, environment, weather, and the cultures of Tanzania.
Elli (Junior Guide) brought a similarly impressive knowledge base and an infectious positivity which left us all feeling like he was a close friend by the end of the journey. His 7 years of experience as a guide ensured that no matter which jeep I rode in for the day (Andrew's or Elli's) I was sure to have a great experience.
I have never before been so impressed by the combination of professionalism and personability we experienced with our two guides and I would recommend them 100 times out of 100.
During our time in the parks we managed to see wildebeests and zebras in the (tens of) thousands on the Great Migration (during calving season in Southern Serengeti), the Big Five (lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, elephants), cheetahs, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, jackals, baboons and dozens of other animals in some of the best protected natural spaces remaining on the planet. At the end of the trip, our group tallied over 60 different animals, many of which we saw in large numbers.
In addition to our fantastic guides, Serengeti Wakanda stood out from its competitors with its vehicles and the lunches they provided. We had newer model jeeps with outlets in each seat and they provided a Mi-Fi device to provide wi-fi if we wanted it. Perhaps the most evident differentiator though was lunch. While the vast majority of other groups were provided packed cold lunches (e.g. sandwiches), Serengeti Wakanda coordinated with our camps to have hot lunches (e.g. rice with chicken/beef, lentils) prepared in the morning and kept in insulated pots in the back of the jeep until lunch time. They kindly catered to vegetarians and allergies in the group and the food consistently exceeded our expectations.
This was a once in a lifetime trip and I am grateful to Serengeti Wakanda for exceptional planning and execution.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I don’t know where to begin. This experience met every expectation we had plus more. Keagan was the reason we had such a wonderful time. His knowledge was so impressive but he was also so kind, funny and patient. We also booked short notice and the company still made it happen. I would recommend Mangovo a million times (and honestly, I might have already lol) the videos and pictures we shared on social media had everyone ready to book a trip to Kruger ❤️

Transformative experience getting to know the people and culture of Uganda
Amatsiko Tours provides an incredibly unique experience, both seeing the beautiful sites of Uganda, as well as connecting with real people in the community. I started by visiting gorgeous Lake Bunyonyi, spent three days in the Village of Buzaniro and finished my time in Kabale volunteering at Amatsiko Preparatory School. The experience was transformative. I came to really understand what life is like living in a rural village which is so different from my home in Los Angeles, California. Alphonse and Alex, the owners of Amatsiko Tours, are wonderful and easy to work with. All communications were smooth and straight forward. They paid close attention to every detail of my trip, making sure all my needs were met and that it was a fabulous experience. I thought it was tremendous value for the money with every aspect of the trip having a personal touch. I highly encourage you to book with Amatsiko Tours and be inspired by the people you meet and the beauty of the Uganda landscape.

Absolutely Amazing!
I began planning our trip to Uganda and Kenya a year ago. Joseph was always extremely courteous, personable and prompt from our initial contact to leaving Africa to head back to the US. Joseph went out of his way for my husband and I so many times, I have lost count. Everything I asked for he arranged and it all went flawlessly. I honestly can’t say enough about Joseph & White Plains Safaris. We are planning on going back in 2027 or 2028. The whole trip exceeded my wildest and very high expectations! Don’t hesitate to reach out to him. You will be in the best hands.
