Exceptional and local
We travel a lot all over the World and we have just returned from safari with Wakanda and it’s one of the best experiences we have had travelling.
Wakanda are a local company, employing local people with a pride, dignity and care that is a pleasure to be around.
Bartho is ultra organised and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
Our guide Felix was so knowledgable, eloquent and helpful. He’s also a great guy with a big heart and love of his great country. He guided us through this real adventure with great skill and tact. Because of him we were able to see so much and really engage with this beautiful experience.
Sully our chef treated us to the best food and never left us wanting. Delicious hot food and even baking his own delicious bread for each meal. Other companies had lunch boxes with bland offerings. Sully prepared us hot, tasty and satisfying meals with variety and veggie options. From start to finish we relished meal times. As with Bartho and Felix he is also a wonderful character and by the end it felt like one big family.
If you’re looking at safari here then don’t miss out on a Wakanda experience. It’s great value but the standard is exceptional.
We will definitely return and will definitely book with Wakanda.
Thank you guys for making it so special.

Outstanding safari. Professional, experienced, detail oriented company.
Excellent 9 day, 8 night safari visiting Amboseli, Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara in early June 2022. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 older children (early 20’s and late teens) from Southern California. From start to finish, Daniel was excellent. Our interests were wildlife viewing and photography and we were not disappointed. I highly, highly recommend Meektrails. See my full review for Meektrails in Trip Advisor.
Choose them and you will never get wrong!
We love the safari especially our driver guide Vincent, he is amazing! He knows where to spot animals, we could not miss anything in Kenya. We saw 18 lions, 3 leopards and 2 cheatahs, and 5 rhinos. We miss Kenya and we will come back!

Great Tour Operator in Namibia!
I did 2 trips with Roncook Safaris and both were excellent. First was northern Namibia with a guide/driver and private SUV. Second was a self-drive in southern Namibia. Raymond Bere organized everything perfectly; the vehicles were clean and well maintained, the hotel choices outstanding, and Raymond's communication and emails were detailed and informative. And he had some great suggestions for our itinerary we had not thought of! I can't wait to return to Namibia and will definitely use Roncook Safaris again!
William our driver and tour guide was just a blessing funny and knowledgeable
This is one of the best experience I've had. The safari tour in the serengeti was surreal. William, our driver and guide went above and beyond to make the drive and spotting all the animals a great and unforgettable moment. I will definitely cherish these memories for a long time. Go for Gosheni and ask for William!!!!!

A fascinating combination - safari through several national Parks of Tanzania plus Mafia Island

Dear Sandra, dear Michael,
Thank you for unforgettable days that gave us insights and impressions of Tanzania. Thank you for the perfect preparation and planning and the smooth process. Michael is not only a careful driver but also a connoisseur of nature, land and people. Hakuna Matata - "No problem" - literally every question, every concern was solved to our complete satisfaction. With his modest and unobtrusive manner, Michael brought us closer to the fascinating wildlife of Africa.
I am also very thankful for the successful mix of accommodations - from a simple but unexpectedly comfortable tented camp to a beautiful lodge with a pool. Unforgettable also the stay on the island Mafia. Swimming together with a majestic whale shark - definitely an experience that will be remembered for a long time.
Sandra & Michael, you are a strong team and we wish you continued success with your company. Keep it up!
Liebe Sandra, lieber Michael,
Danke für unvergessliche Tage, die uns Einblicke und Eindrücke von Tanzania gewährt haben. Danke für die perfekte Vorbereitung und Planung und den so reibungslosen Verlauf. Michael ist nicht nur ein umsichtiger Fahrer sondern auch Kenner von Natur, Land und Leuten. Hakuna Matata - " Kein Problem" - sprichwörtlich wurde jede Frage, jedes Anliegen zur vollsten Zufriedenheit gelöst. Mit seiner bescheidenen und unaufdringlichen Art hat Michael uns die faszinierende Tierwelt Afrikas näher gebracht.
Ich bin auch sehr dankbar für den gelungenen Mix an Unterkünften - von einfachem, jedoch unerwartet komfortablen Zeltcamp bis wunderschöner Lodge mit Pool. Unvergesslich auch der Aufenthalt auf der Insel Mafia. Das gemeinsame Schwimmen mit einem majestätischen Walhai - ganz sicher ein Erlebnis, was lange in Erinnerung bleibt.
Sandra & Michael ihr seid ein starkes Team und wir wünschen Euch weiterhin viel Erfolg mit Eurem Unternehmen. Macht weiter so!

Around Africa Safaris is tops
I contacted Explore Plus Travel in South Africa during the beginning of the year, provided them with some of the National Park names and my bucket list items that I would like to experience in Uganda. They have put together an amazing itinerary for me. From the moment I arrived in Entebbe on 4th June 2022, I experienced Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, Kibale National Forest, Lake Mburo, Bwindi National Forest to the Mbamba Swamps on the last morning of 15th June 2022.
Explore Plus Travel arranged these two weeks in Uganda in conjunction with Around Africa Safaris company who provided us with a driver for the two weeks and being our go-to-people while in Uganda. David Ijuka (our driver) is a great young man, his knowledge of his country, the birdlife and National Parks are above board. He always went out of his way to find the birds and animals on our to-see list for the day. The gravel roads in Uganda aren’t for the faint hearted but he managed them like a pro. We received our daily bush massages

My dream vacay!
What an amazing experience! My trip was originally planned for June 2020. Unfortunately, due to Covid, it was put off and postponed to June 2022. Anne was helpful every step of the way for 2 and a half years. Emails were answered in a timely fashion. When I was ready to rebook my trip (which was totally different than my original 2020 plan) she answered all my questions and gave recommendations. We went with 10 days in Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. James M was our guide and he was excellent! Funny, polite, knowledgeable and informative. He provided info on the animals, birds, trees, and even the towns we drove through. We stayed at Serena Amboseli, Naivasha Simba Lodge, Ashnil Mara Camp and Keekorok. I look forward to visiting again and I highly recommend using Amazing Memories to plan your trip!

This was ana amazing experience with an AMAZING guide! Highly recommended to everyone
This experience with Arony was AMAZING! He is an excellent person, was super caring with our group and made sure we had a great time. In the safari he made an effort so that we were able to see EVERYTHING and we always felt super safe with him. I have done safaris before and the Massai Mara with Arony was definetely the best one!!
