Overall, the adventure went well. In detail, we saw wild animals - that's why we went to Tanzania in the first place - and sometimes they were so close... right next to the jeep's front wheel OMG. We had Mister T, Lewis, Silas as our guides and Piu as a chef in Ngorongoro. On the first day of the safari, the jeep had issues when it exceeded 35 km/h, and we lost a few hours trying to fix it at a Mad Max-style service center :). The response was that it could be repaired if taken elsewhere for a part, and all of us in the group chose to continue using it as it was. On the second day, a different jeep, a different guide, and a different group: this time, the gearbox broke down right before entering the park, before the ticket gate. After a few phone calls done by Silas, we were told that it would be fixed in an hour. After an hour, we were told it would take another 2 hours. After the first hour of the two, we were informed that we would receive a replacement vehicle around 3 - 4:30 pm. After a while, Silas managed to persuade another driver (just entering the park) from a different company to take each of us to our respective accommodations - we drove for 6 hours with only a few stops because it was already getting dark, and the driver didn't have time to return back safely. The vehicles were not properly checked, which posed risks (what if we were already near the group of relaxed lions we photographed next to the front wheel? What if the vehicle didn't start? I'm sure Silas would have found solutions, but I would have preferred not to have these worries :). The first night of accommodation was at Boma Lodge - excellent lodging and food. The second night was at An'gata Lodge - MASH-style tents, a dedicated team - we were escorted to and from the tents by a team member using walkie-talkies; good food. The third night was at a camping tent, and the toilet/shower area needs improvements. Good food cooked by Piu. During the night we were visited by zebras OMG :) I'm glad that, overall, the safari was a success. We took memorable photos/videos and returned safely, with no unpleasant incidents regarding food. I can recommend improvements in communication between guides and tourists AND regular technical checks of the vehicles. Regarding tips, I agree with it up to the point where there is so much pressure that it can be believed that salaries are not paid from the money tourists pay for the safari (and it's not a small amount), and guides rely solely on tips. I hope that is not the case.

Very clear and organized communication, very nice personal approach
Absolutely amazing!! Everything was perfectly organized from beggining to end. The hotel we stayed in near Ngorongoro was stunning, you could literally see elephants from your balcony. Overall, it was an experience we'll never forget and can only recommend to everyone, its definitely a good value for money and 100 % worth it.

Great Hands-Off Safari Experience
Booking the safari was east through WhatsApp, and the response time from the organizer was very quick. Once the deposit was down, nearly everything was taken care of. Only a few messages were exchanged telling us when to be ready to be picked up from the hotel, and all the rest was handled/explained to us on the way. Ferry over to Dar es Salaam was quick, and our driver Dani accommodated my food poisoning by visiting a pharmacy. The 4 hr van ride to the lodging was on a bumpy dirt road, but it was fun to see the countryside. Lodging was fantastic for the location, and staff was the most polite I've ever met. Safari day came and our guide Goodluck (yes, that's his name!) was excellent. He had the perfect amount of energy for 7 in the morning, and guided us on a wonderful day. We saw every animal we came to see (giraffes, hippos, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras), including lions in the final 15 minutes of the tour when he booked it to a special bush where the lions were resting. He managed to get us to see the lions and still make it to our plane with time to spare. Plane ride back was quick and easy. Highly recommend for the price.

We were very pleased with Legit. They got right back to us when we made our contact via email and provided a detailed itinerary. Great service from beginning to end. The safari vehicle was very new and our safari driver was top notch. We are experienced safari travelers and would definitely use and recommend them again.

organized and efficient
James did a great job organizing our safari. We started our journey with a pick-up in Nairobi which was well organized and made our way to Amboselli, which did not disappoint with lots of animal sightings. Next we went to Tsavo West and East. Tsavo was a bit harder to scout out animals, but our accommodations in Tsavo West had amazing views right from the open air dining area of so many animals visiting the watering hole! Overall we had an amazing experience seeing lots of animals and maximizing our time on Safari. James was very communicative and did his best to make sure we were satisfied.

Very good and reliable tour operator
We had a great time with Serengeti Wakanda in September 2023! We did a 5D/4N group safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, having Bashiri as guide (excellent knowledge, great sightings and good driving) and Machette as chef (great and diverse breakfast, lunch and dinner, both in the camp and as picnic - and always plenty of this, we never finished the entire plate).
The communication with Barttho was quick, clear and reliable, the tour was done as promised. Luggage could be stored in the office, paying the outstanding amount in cash after transferring the deposit was no problem. Strong recommendation for these guys, we will hopefully come back!

Kenya Safari - once in lifetime experience
I did a 5 day private Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha trip with my brothers. Our guide Gerald was amazing from pick up to end of our trip he did a great job of keeping the trip fun. We got to have lot of wonderful animal experience from pride of lions feeding to eagle catching a fish in a lake. We got a have lot of close encounters with animals and views especially in Masai Mara is something everybody should experience. Special mention about Gerald’s driving skills and he funny down to earth jolly attitude - would highly recommend him.
