Great and helpful agency
Great and helpful agency. We were given all sorts of precise information and he was very prompt in all his answers. Unfortunately we've had to keep our holiday on hold for the time being but I would definitely contact them again. Great work!

Amazing 4 day safari - we could not have been more pleased with the experience.
My husband and I recently did a 4 day/3 night safari with Serengeti Wakanda and it exceeded our expectations! Some coworkers had recommended Bartho and the Wakanda team and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the Safari. From making first contact with Bartho, the level of communication was very good. He would reply to any questions we had straight away and was always available to talk to. He picked us up from the Arusha airport and took us to the hotel in Arusha. The entire Safari was seamless and we managed to see “The Big 5” thanks to our great safari guide Moody. We went to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and saw TONS of wildlife close to our safari vehicle. Our chef Dennis prepared amazing meals for us every day, we were alway fed well. We had fabulous dinner with our choice of beer or wine. We camped in the Serengeti and near the Ngorongoro Crater which was an amazing experience - the Wakanda team set up and took down our tents each day. The sleeping foams provided were super comfortable and the sleeping bags kept us warm at night. We would not hesitate to do another safari with Wakanda and we will continue to recommend them. After the Safari we went to Kenya and Bartho arranged the shuttle for us to ensure we paid the best price. He also helped us get a room on our way back to Arusha at a low cost. Big thanks to Bartho, Dennis and Moody we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. If anyone is thinking of taking a safari with Wakanda do not hesitate to book!! Asante sana!

Great Company With Fantastic Service
My friend Mary and I did the 5 days Ugandan Safari with Devine African Safaris. We found Boaz waiting for us at Entebbe Airport, he was to be our great guide during the tour, he is not only experreinced but also great company to be with on tour. Some of the nice highlights include a stop at the Equator point where we took nice pics before proceeding to Queen Elizabeth National park where we saw lions, elephants, zebras and giraffes at Kaisenyi Plains. In the afternoon did a boat safari in Kazinga channel and saw hippos, strange water birds and many other animals on the banks of the channel. Another great experience was tracking chimps at Kyambura. These primates are habituated and were not alarmed when we got close to them. There were other different monkeys in this place.
Lake Mburo Park was also very nice where we did a boat trip and got close to crocs and many water birds and animals.
We had an amazing time in Uganda and I highly recommend Devine African Safaris

We enjoyed the trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro
In June we went to Tansania with my husband to climb Kilimanjaro. Our international tour operator booked us with KWESA and we are glad that they did. KWESA was outstanding in every area since we arrived to the moment we left.
Airport pickup was timely as we found Teacher the owner waiting for us and then he took us to our hotel where he introduced us to the guides. We also had a briefing about the trek after they inspected our gear.
KWESA took care of everything during our trek, providing us with professional and experienced guides and crew who took great care of us as they guided us to the summit, equipment (tents, walking sticks, sleeping bags..), wonderful cook who made us great meals.
These people are very experienced about the mountain and I came to learn that they charge about 60% of what we paid if you book directly with them.
I recommend them.

Amazing Kenya/Tanzania Safari Experience
This was our first trip to Africa with a 12 day Kenya/Tanzania Safari. It was such an amazing experience, such an enjoyable trip despite the immense travel distance between the several national parks; really wish we had done this trip sooner in our life. We will definetly come back with our kids next time.
From the initial quote request Annette was prompt in answering all questions and setting up the tour package. We got our e-visas for both countries online and made sure we had our yellow fever certificate too. Annette received us at Nairobi airport and put us in the hands of excellent guide/driver (Shadrack in Kenya and Ibrahim in Tanzania). We had 4 star lodges in Kenya and tented camps/smaller lodges in Tanzania but the service and food in all of them were superb. We visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengiti, NgoroNgoro, Taringire and Amboseli parks and enjoyed all of them. We especially wanted to take time for photographing the animals but also birds/sunsets and both guides were patient and gave us plenty of time and answered all our questions. We must have taken over 3000 photos/videos. We also visited a masai village and had plenty of stops to buy local handicrafts as well. Annette met us again on the last day for dinner in Nairobi and dropped us off at the airport. The border crossing at Isebania took about 1.5hrs but the crossing back at Namanga was fairly quick as both countries offices were in one building. The weather in June was perfect; cool morning/evenings with warm mid-days. the parks were not too crowded either. The roads into and out of Serengiti are quite dusty, so be prepared for that. All in all it was a wonderful trip, we were well taken care from the minute we stepped down into Nairobi till we left.

BEST Tarangire Day Tour
I did a day tour of Tarangire on June 17th 2-19
Main points
- very accommodating tour operators
- John has a great vibe, great tour guide
- lots of animals to see in Tarangire
Full Review
I book this tour on Sunday, for the Monday, through another tour operator. Praise (the CEO) allowed me to join an existing tour which was a 5 day tour, for one day. I really appreciated this allowance that was made for me! They picked me up, and dropped me back to my place in Moshi.
The drive form Moshi to Tarangire Park is very long, far too long, this is really the worst part. Fortunately, John, who is half Chagga and half Maasai, is a great conversationalist, with excellent music taste, so that made the long drive easier to bear. It was a clear day, so we got a great view of Mt Kilimanjaro on the way.
I was picked up at 6:50am, and we arrived at Tarangire Park at 11:22am. We entered the park at 11:52am (after registration, restroom breaks, etc).
We entered Tarangire Park, known as the Paradise of elephants. John had a good eye so he quickly spotted many animals and pointed them out to us. We saw the following animals:
- many, many birds (if you're a bird watcher, you'd have the time of your life here)
- Giraffes
- Ostriches, males and females
- Warthog babies
- Elephants, males, females, and babies (LOTS and LOTS of elephants)
- Wildebeest
- Grant's Gazelle
- Cheetah and cub
- Water bucks, males and females
- Peacocks
- Buffalos
- Dik diks
While we were having lunch, John saved me from a monkey that tried to attack me. This is no exaggeration, it really is a plus to have a Maasai warrior as a tour guide!
We exited the park at 4:23pm. I was dropped home by 8:02pm.
This trip cost me $242 in total which is MUCH less than any Tarangire Day tours I have seen, which didn't include pick up and drop. If you're looking for a bang for your buck, and excellent service then this is the tour operator to go with!
