Best safari with the best guide
My husband and me booked a 7 day safari with Wakanda Tours for our honeymoon. We read a lot reviews upfront and they were all absolutely right: You will have the best safari you can get!
Our guide Felix was awesome. He knows everything about the national parks, plants and the animals. And he is also a very good driver. He drives fast when there is nothing to see, but you will feel safe all the time. It’s impressive how he is multitasking (driving, explaining, spotting animals). We were super happy with him as our guide!
The accomodations were all clean and very comfortabel. The staff was always helpful and friendly. We liked the Signature Serengeti Luxury Camp the most. The food was also good, sometimes very good. Maybe next time we would book a mix of camping and tented Lodges, because the food cooked by the Wakanda Cook was the best :)
Thanks for having us!

Felix is a very kind and knowledgeable safari guide who loves the nature
We spent a total of 6 days on our honeymoon safari with Felix and Wakanda Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Felix is
a very kind and knowledgeable safari guide who effortlessly shares his extensive expertise about wildlife and the environment, making the tour both educational and enjoyable.
Day 1: We spent our first day in Tarangire National Park, which was a wonderful introduction to our safari. Felix asked from the beginning which animals and plants we wanted to see and tailored the experience to our preferences. The lunch on the first day, prepared by Dhula, was the best meal of the entire safari (though the rest, provided by the lodges, was also good except for one lunch).
Day 2: We explored Lake Manyara National Park. Although it was more challenging to spot wildlife here, Felix made the most of the park. If we were to do another safari, we might skip this part and spend more time in other parks.
Day 3: We transferred to the Serengeti with a brief afternoon game drive.
Day 4: We spent a full day in the Serengeti, and on Day 5, we enjoyed morning and early afternoon game drives. The Serengeti was truly impressive, with vast herds of zebras and wildebeest. Felix also managed to show us lions, a cheetah, and a leopard up close.
Day 6: Our final day was in the Ngorongoro Crater, where we started very early to avoid the crowds. We observed a rhino from a distance and had many other wonderful moments, such as watching hyenas fight and laugh wildly over food.
Overall, we are extremely satisfied with Felix and Wakanda Safari Tours and wholeheartedly recommend them.
Accommodations:
Night 1+2: Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge (The food ranged from good to okay)
Night 3+4: Signature Serengeti Luxury Camps (By far the best lodge, with excellent food and outstanding staff)
Night 5: Angata Ngorongoro Camp (The night was short, but the food was good, and the proximity to nature was beautiful)

Unforgettable!
From beginning to end Serengeti Wakanda made our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Communicating with Ushma was easy as we began to plan for our trip. She rearranged our itinerary and provided tips on how to get the most out of our budget and time frame. Our guide Felix was not only an expert on finding the animals (and birds!) but provided such wonderful insight and information about Tanzania’s beautiful country and culture. He started out as our guide but at the end of 5 days became our Rafiki who we will never forget! If you plan on budget camping make sure to bring your appetite because our chef prepared breakfast lunch and dinners fresh, and so much of it! Thank you to Serengeti Wakanda for all your hard work and kindness, we can’t wait to see you again!

Experience of a lifetime
We start our review with a big thank you to Serengeti Wakanda Safari Tours. That was the most amazing experience. This company is very reliable. Booking the tour was very easy with Aishwarya as she is very courteous, pleasant and patient. She accommodated our needs and booked the best lodging with great food and nice staff. She assigned an awesome guide/driver Felix. Felix made sure we see all the Big 5, see the migration and taught us how each animal survives in the wild and more. Felix ensured that our experience was memorable. He let us know the plan for the day. He always asked what we would like to see or do so he could tailor the days plan for us. He makes sure the picnic breakfast and lunch was warm and we enjoyed the variety of food. He constantly checks if we are comfortable and if there was anything else we need before we rest for the night. Felix is a Big 5: Funny, knowledgeable, good driver, has good eyesight and just an amazing person. Shoutout to him, Aishwarya and the rest of the Serengeti Wakanda Safari tours staff. We highly recommend this company.

A fantastic company that looked after every aspect of our tour from start to end.
We have just returned from a 4-day safari booked with Serengeti Wakanda and we really cannot rate them highly enough. From booking, they kept in touch and up-to-date with the travel plan, from collecting us from our hotel in Zanzibar through to our guide meeting us in Tanzania. The tour was faultless and the quality of the accommodation exceptional, especially the Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented camp. The camp itself was beautifully built and very sympathetic to the environment, predominantly powered by solar. But it was the fantastic staff that really made it such a fabulous stay. The camp provided our picnics for two days of our safari tours and it was very good food. Wakanda arranged a balloon safari for us, which is an incredible extra and a real bonus of the whole trip. But the aspect that made our tour so enjoyable was out fantastic guide, Landolin, who had such a depth of knowledge of the animals, and history of the region, we felt we were learning so much with every conversation. He clearly cared a great deal and had a great deal of pride for his work. Thank you to all the team - it was a fantastic trip with memories that we will treasure for a long time to come.

An unforgettable journey!
For our first trip to Tanzania, we chose Serengeti Wakanda, after reading the countless positive reviews and seeing the availability shown right from the start by our correspondent Beatrice.
Well, what can I say, this trip was incredible, made perfect and unforgettable by Edward, our wonderful guide. The latter speaks English very well, was always very helpful, cheerful, ready to laugh with us, to answer our countless questions with kindness and professionalism. He was able to make us live this experience in the best possible way, satisfying our every desire (He also took us to visit a Masai village, local markets and to a structure where they explained to us how typical Tanzanian stones are extracted and worked).
Not to be taken for granted, he is very good and expert at driving on particularly bumpy and muddy roads, he knows every map and timing by heart and during the safaris he always gave his all to let us see as many animals as possible up close… he even helped a driver stuck in the mud, because as he taught us what really matters is: Hakuna Matata!
Safaris in Tanzania are really worth it (it's not our first experience in Africa, but this one is worth gold!), as is traveling with Wakanda: beautiful facilities, spectacular food (they have omnivorous and also vegetarian and vegan options) prepared by the staff chefs (even for picnics), jeeps that are always clean and fully equipped with water, always fresh drinks, Wifi and sockets... what more could you ask for?
We carry Edward, Serengeti Wakanda and all of Tanzania in our hearts... so much so that we will return in August!
Ahsante sana Tanzania, Jambo Jambo!

Exceptional Tanzania Safari Experience A Trip to Remember!
Our recent Tanzania safari was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the incredible team that made every moment special. From the moment we inquired about the tour, Mr. Good Luck ensured a seamless booking process with his prompt responses and excellent organization. His attention to detail made the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable.
A special thank you to our tour guide, Mr. Bashir, whose expertise and deep knowledge of the wildlife made our safari truly unforgettable. His fine skills in spotting animals, from the elusive big cats to the majestic elephants, ensured that we experienced the very best of Tanzania’s breathtaking wilderness.
And what’s a great adventure without great food? Mr. Dulah, the best chef, treated us to warm, delicious meals every day, making sure we were well-fed and energized throughout our journey. His culinary skills added an extra layer of comfort to our trip.
Traveling with my wife and children, I was initially concerned about the challenges of a safari, but the entire team went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. The hospitality, organization, and warmth we received made this trip truly unforgettable.
I highly recommend this safari experience to anyone looking for a well-planned, exciting, and family-friendly adventure. Thank you once again to Mr. Good Luck, Mr. Bashir, and Mr. Dulah for making this a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Service-orientated, communicative, highly knowledgeable and kind
I have just completed an 11-day safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda. It was undoubtedly the best holiday of my life and I cannot recommend this company enough.
The trip was for my 30th birthday and included 14 people. I sent inquiries to six tour companies with excellent customer reviews. I received custom itineraries from four of them and decided to go with Serengeti Wakanda based on the price, quality and depth of detail in the itinerary, and great responsiveness to follow up questions. Big thanks to Goodluck in the booking office for being a terrific planner and communicator!
From the moment we landed to the moment we took off, we felt well taken care of. Serengeti Wakanda coordinated transportation to/from the airport and a hotel in Arusha for the nights before and after the safari. They also selected and booked the camps where we stayed within the parks, all of which were fantastic.
Our guides (Andrew and Elli) picked us up from the hotel and remained with us for the duration of our experience, starting with a day trip to Materuni waterfalls and a chance to experience small scale coffee production in the nearby village. Over the course of the next 10 days, we visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorogoro Conservation Area (Ndutu and Ngorogoro Crater), and Lake Manyara NP.
Andrew (Senior Guide) demonstrated a profound understanding of animal behavior, encyclopedic knowledge of everything we encountered, and a mental map of the parks that was truly remarkable. His 11 years of experience as a guide were evident. He correctly predicted animal movements to put us in position for some incredible shots before other jeeps (actually, specialized Toyota Landcruisers) which were competing for the best view. He was able to answer every question we had (and we had a lot) about the animals, environment, weather, and the cultures of Tanzania.
Elli (Junior Guide) brought a similarly impressive knowledge base and an infectious positivity which left us all feeling like he was a close friend by the end of the journey. His 7 years of experience as a guide ensured that no matter which jeep I rode in for the day (Andrew's or Elli's) I was sure to have a great experience.
I have never before been so impressed by the combination of professionalism and personability we experienced with our two guides and I would recommend them 100 times out of 100.
During our time in the parks we managed to see wildebeests and zebras in the (tens of) thousands on the Great Migration (during calving season in Southern Serengeti), the Big Five (lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, elephants), cheetahs, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, jackals, baboons and dozens of other animals in some of the best protected natural spaces remaining on the planet. At the end of the trip, our group tallied over 60 different animals, many of which we saw in large numbers.
In addition to our fantastic guides, Serengeti Wakanda stood out from its competitors with its vehicles and the lunches they provided. We had newer model jeeps with outlets in each seat and they provided a Mi-Fi device to provide wi-fi if we wanted it. Perhaps the most evident differentiator though was lunch. While the vast majority of other groups were provided packed cold lunches (e.g. sandwiches), Serengeti Wakanda coordinated with our camps to have hot lunches (e.g. rice with chicken/beef, lentils) prepared in the morning and kept in insulated pots in the back of the jeep until lunch time. They kindly catered to vegetarians and allergies in the group and the food consistently exceeded our expectations.
This was a once in a lifetime trip and I am grateful to Serengeti Wakanda for exceptional planning and execution.

Tumfisu and Francis were incredible guides! They were very knowledgeable about all the animals
Wakanda went above and beyond our expectations! They maximized every minute of our tour and made sure we saw as much as possible. Our guides Tum and Francis were incredibly friendly and so good with the three kids over 8 days. The food made by our cook Dullah was healthy and delicious and met our groups dietary restrictions. We will miss them all dearly and will fondly cherish our memories with them.
