Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommend Edward!
Our safari in Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda has been nothing short of incredible. We traveled all the way from Puerto Rico, and this experience truly exceeded all of our expectations.
Edward, our safari guide, was absolutely outstanding and without a doubt the highlight of our trip. His knowledge of wildlife, the parks, and nature is exceptional, and he shares it with so much passion and patience. Every game drive felt exciting, informative, and perfectly timed. Beyond his expertise, Edward’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel safe, comfortable, and truly welcomed throughout the entire journey.
The camps were excellent, the food was great, and every detail of the trip was well organized. Special experiences like the night game drive, the hot air balloon safari, and even a beautiful surprise at the camp made this adventure unforgettable.
We are incredibly grateful for this experience and will 100% recommend Serengeti Wakanda to anyone visiting Tanzania, especially if you are lucky enough to have Edward as your guide. He truly made this safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Thank you for everything, we will never forget this journey!

An amazing experience 🤩
I went on a safari trip in Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater with great expectations and my expectations was rewarded 100% The whole experience was unique! I feel very happy and satisfied that I got the chance to do this trip, and I will try to come back in Tanzania! All employers was very helpful and friendly doing everything to satisfy my demands as costumer! The drivers of the safari jeeps was very skilled and knew the “game” very well! Transfer drivers did everything to find the best routes possible so I could came in time to airports, and safari parks! The Fig tree hotel was nice and cozy with pool and a beautiful garden! They had a nice social area where I could interact with other tourists and chance ideas about safaris and so!

"Once in a lifetime trip"
We had the most amazing experience with Brilliant Adventures and Safaris. From the very beginning, Gladys exceeded our expectations. I shared our budget with her, and she created a perfectly tailored mid-luxury 5-day itinerary that truly catered to our every need.
Going into this adventure, we were understandably nervous due to the October 29 event. Throughout the entire process, Gladys was always available, honest, and reassuring. Her transparency and constant communication gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel safe traveling in Tanzania at that time.
We were greeted in the Serengeti by our guide—and quickly, our friend—Bonny. Within the first 30 minutes, it felt as though we had known him for years. Bonny is an incredibly experienced guide with extensive local connections, which he used to ensure we saw everything we had hoped for and more.
Our first few days were spent at Baobab Luxury Tented Camp, which was nothing short of magical. Baboons and gazelles roamed freely in the backyard, adding to the authentic safari experience. The staff and food were exceptional, and during our 23rd anniversary, they surprised us with a cake and a beautiful celebratory dance. It was incredibly heartfelt, and we truly missed them when it was time to leave.
This trip was unforgettable, and we cannot recommend Brilliant Adventures and Safaris, Gladys, and Bonny highly enough. They turned a once-in-a-lifetime dream into a reality.

Excellent Experience
Deo is a true professional in every sense of the word. Our experience with him was incredible — genuinely memorable — and I can’t recommend his safaris enough.

Wonderful tour with well informed and helpful tour guide.
Tour was smooth from start to finish. All staff were welcoming, polite and informative. Saloniki was fantastic and ensured we found all the animals and gave us enough time to get the photos we wanted. He was very educated on the animals.
Family Trip
I really appreciate Acatree Tour and safari we had a great trip towards the end of the year and we were able to see the animals very closely We were also happy to see the beautiful and peaceful nature in Tarangire and even in the main part of History at Ngorongoro. The family was very impressed with the guide we had, Zakaria and Nolasco. We definitely want to have them when we come back. The travel of Acatree has been very good for us, it is a good car and it is among the best standards for tourist trips. We will definitely want it again next time

Excellent service!
Deo is a very good guide, always had an answer to our questions, drove to the best spots and was very kind. We would certainly recommend him and also the service of Serengeti Smiles. Everything was planned upfront, we really had nothing to worry about.

THIS TOUR COMPANY GOES WELL ABOVE WHAT IS EXPECTED AND PAID FOR
I did a lot of research before booking this safari, finally I chose Oakland Tours and Safaris. I have no connection to this company whatsoever and have never dealt with them before.
From the first dealings with the office, I found "James" to be so very professional, I was very impressed and continued with the booking after noticing how he dealt with me. Very very straightforward and clear to understand their requirements. Straight to the point so there could be no misunderstanding on either side.
Paying for a full Safari before arriving in the country as is required is perhaps unusual for us in Europe, but the accommodation and National Park fees and all the other expenses have to be paid for in Kenya in order to ensure that your Safari accommodation is ready and all in order and guaranteed before your arrival.
Now, our tour guide Moses was absolutely exceptional.
What a kind, most professional, educated and generous spirit. I really don't know how lucky we were to be assigned Moses, from the very beginning of the tour we felt completely as if we were with a family member.................our experience with Moses was far beyond our expectations. We felt that we were with a man that was so confident, honest and fully in control of everything around him.
Never once did he try to manipulate us into a situation of buying curios, African artifacts or other such items that are sold in the rest stops and entrances to the National Parks.
It was most incredible, having travelled extensively globally, it is rare to see a tour guide that doesn't "guide" you into a shop where he is going to make a commission of some sort of object that one didn't need in the first place.
The dignity that Moses displayed in his personal integrity was amazing. He was so patient in showing us where the animals were and in going out of his way to find the animals. His knowledge of the animals and rare birds that we saw was incredible, obviously having learned all these facts and figures. We saw so many animals that I feel that I am seeing lions, zebras ,elephants, giraffes etc etc in my dreams. Far too many to mention here. Nothing was too much for Moses, I could notice that he wanted to make sure that we would go home having been on a real Safari, not just a quick drive around.
We went to Lake Naivasha National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and Masai Mara National Park. It was the trip of a lifetime.
No doubt Moses is an enormous credit and value to Oakland Tours and Safaris. This kind of employee can't be found just anywhere and he is a real gem. I asked him if he is related to the owners of the company and he is not related to them.
We most highly recommend this company and if we are to go by the service that we got from Moses and James then I am 1000% sure you will never find anything better.
They have a Safari for all sorts of budgets, from 5 star downwards, so irrespective what what your budget is they will work with you to get you a good deal and will accommodate you.
I hope you have a great trip to Kenya and get home with memories that will be forever in your memory.
