An unforgettable luxury safari experience with exceptional guides, breathtaking wildlife encounters,
We booked a 4-day safari with 2 travel days, during which we were also offered an Arusha city tour, something we truly appreciated. During the city tour, our driver Fabian guided us and did an excellent job providing insight into Arusha as a city, its culture, different neighborhoods, and its history. The conversations along the way were both informative and very pleasant.
Safari Day 1: Tarangire National Park
Our first safari day took place in Tarangire National Park, known as the home of elephants. It was an incredible introduction to the safari experience, with large herds of elephants and beautiful landscapes that immediately set the tone for the journey.
Safari Day 2: Ngorongoro to Ndutu and Serengeti
On the second day, we passed through the Ngorongoro area on our way to Ndutu before entering the Serengeti. This day truly highlighted our guide Tom’s exceptional knowledge. He decided on a detour based on recent animal movements, and it paid off enormously. Along with many other animals, we saw cheetahs and a large number of lions, all thanks to Tom’s ability to adapt the route to real-time conditions.
Safari Day 3: Serengeti National Park
The third safari day was spent entirely in the Serengeti. Here we saw many lions, two leopards, and even the beginning of the Great Migration. Witnessing this natural spectacle was an unforgettable experience and a highlight of the trip.
Safari Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater
Our final safari day took us down into the Ngorongoro Crater. This day allowed us to complete the Big Five, as we were fortunate enough to spot 6 of the approximately 36 rhinos living in the crater. Seeing these rare animals in such a unique environment was an incredible way to end the safari.
We chose the luxury accommodations and can highly recommend all of them. The rooms were amazing, very clean, and the food was excellent everywhere we stayed. Night one was at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, night two at Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp, and night three at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. While all were outstanding, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge truly stood out with its breathtaking views, where we even saw antelopes directly from our balcony.
During the trip, one of us unfortunately became ill, but our guide Tom and our Wakanda team contact Gwen handled the situation quickly and professionally. Throughout the entire journey, we felt safe, well taken care of, and experienced excellent communication.
On the final day, our flight departed on the same day as our last safari. The transition from our guide Tom to our driver Jackson was smooth and well organized. Jackson drove us to the airport and even patiently waited for the clouds to clear so we could catch a glimpse of “The Shy Mountain,” Mount Kilimanjaro.
We can strongly recommend Wakanda and all the amazing staff we met along the way. This was truly an unforgettable experience.

Well organized and very good vibes
We had a 4 day safari with our amazing guide Melita and chef Abu. We saw the big 5 and many other animals. Melita was always going for the best places and shots. We had a great time we will never forget!
It was a dream.

Very kind, professional and caring!
We had a great experience with this company, our driver and guide!
Communication was done directly through Idris the manager on Whatsapp. He answered within minutes and helped us with everything we needed.
The crew the extra mile to make sure we see all the animals we wanted.
They were attentive to our needs and changed the plan accordingly
Supplied unlimitedly cold water, which is a necessity in the heat of Africa. Picked and dropped us off exactly where we wanted.
This safari is undoubtedly cheaper than other options, and not once did we regret it! We got the full experience at budget friendly cost. We were in the Safari for 2 and a half days and it was enough for us.

Available, experienced but pay attention to the details in quotation pdf
Wonderful trip and incredible experience. None of this would have been possible without Logan, who perfectly integrated into our family and was available for any request or information we had. Guide and knowledge of the place were perfect.
One note: once you receive the pdf of your trip quotation, read it carefully, comma by comma, even if you've agreed on everything via email. We had some misunderstandings about this, which initially cost us an extra 900 USD (for 5 people). After a long conversation with Kiliclimb, despite them admitting their mistake, we received a partial refund of 700 USD

Expert Guiding, Perfect Planning & Unforgettable Game Drives
Traveling with African Wanderlust Adventures was a world-class for our group of 6. The guide, Jack was truly professional, highly experienced, deeply knowledgeable and fun. The ability to spot animals from what seemed like miles away was nothing short of amazing. He made every game drive exciting and insightful, while remaining safe at all times! The itinerary was very well designed, accommodations were good, and the overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

Memorable and a must do safari!
My friend and i did our 3 nights/2 days safari with Steve and Richard Safaris and it was the best decision! Steve was very responsive prior to the safari, he gave us the best advice from where to stay to what to do when. He was upfront about all pricing that when we got to the safari, there were no surprise costs. Our driver/guide was Samuel (Sami) and he was amazing. He had all the knowledge about the animals we saw and the Masai. He knew where to go to spot the animals we wanted to see. We even got to see animals that we were not expecting. We got to see the big 4 (we didn’t see a rhino as the one that was around was aggressive, so for safety reasons we didn’t get to see it) but everything else and more we got to see. Sami made sure to get us as close as possible to the animals and was also able to follow them from a safe proximity, We saw 3 lions (2 lions and 1 lioness) when they were moving from one spot to the next for shade and Sami explained to us that the other lion was probably the brother of the lion who was the mate of the lioness. We saw another lioness hunt. We saw a leopard who was hiding under a bush for shade. We saw 2 cheetahs on different days. We also saw ostriches, which we did not expect to.
The whole experience was just wonderful and memorable, and it is all thanks to Steve and Sami who made sure to not only ask what we expect to see prior to the safari but who were also knowledgeable enough to know where to go at what time to see specific animals. Our safari was beyond our expectations thanks to them and i highly recommend them if you want to make the most of your safari!

Top Quality Tour Operator - Top Quality Advice
Safari.com were recommended by a good friend who has used them several times - I was a little sceptical, having booked most trips personally, but I needn’t have worried.
Zené Devine was my contact throughout and she was excellent. Very professional, great communication, great patience! And very clear information on pricing and all details and options available.
The safari was the stand out for us and it was reassuring to know that Zené had actually visited our selected lodge - from the minute we arrived at Kapama River Lodge, we were so welcome and everyone seemed to care that we had a great time, which we did.
We received a room upgrade on our arrival at Shandrani, in Mauritius and I don’t doubt that this was as a result of using Safari.com too.
Zené also reached out while we were there, to see how we were doing and it was very reassuring to know there was support if needed.
Going back to my scepticism, I was also surprised and delighted to note that the price of the holiday was no more expensive than had I selected venues and flights myself.
We have already recommended Zené and Safari.com to a friend and there is only one person we will contact when we next decide to head to South Africa.
Thank you Zené and Safari.com for making a great holiday a memorable one.
