Something you have to do at least once in your life - This was a dream come true for us in our honeymoon trip! Much better than expected, and our guide Felix had a lot to do with it, he was very pacient and very committed to show us as much as he could. We never knew someone with such a great sight, it felt almost as he could smell the animals coming. Asante sana!

Unforgettable 5-day safari - Incredibly beautiful! We had an unbelievably great safari with Bashir! Bashir is super friendly and very committed. He put in an incredible amount of effort every day so that we had a great time. We had so many beautiful moments and saw so many different animals. Our lodges were all perfect too! Definitely recommend it!

A unique experience thanks to an exceptional team - After discussions with several agencies, we chose SEREGENTI WAKANDA TOURS because they were able to meet our needs: tailor-made safari, French-speaking guide, affordable price, all while being very responsive and precise. Our 5 day safari was wonderful, thanks to the wonderful team that accompanied us. Idriss, our chef, prepared delicious dishes for us morning, noon, and evening, adapting to our (vegetarian) diet. Never sick in 5 days! Thank you Idriss, our mother 😉 Benji, the super pilot, was able to cover the many kilometers on tracks throughout the safari. When you see the condition of the slopes after 2 consecutive storms, it's really impressive. And what a good mood! Always good vibes! Thanks again Benji 👊 Finally, Clément, our French-speaking guide, was incredibly kind. Always in our care, his knowledge and expertise made our safari an extraordinary experience. We were able to see a lot of animals and learn a lot from him. Thank you 1000 times Clément, a golden person 🙏 Our safari was an extraordinary experience for us, and this team had a lot to do with it. Thanks again to all 3 of you ❤️ In short, if you hesitate, don't hesitate any longer: top team, attractive price, quality services, robust and connected 4x4, impeccable food, airport shuttle... Thanks Wakanda & Hakuna Matata 🇹🇿

10/10 - 5-day Safari - We went on a 5-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater. We had a phenomenal experience with Benjamin as our guide and Dullah as our chef. We felt like a little family because the two were so welcoming and kind. We could talk about everything and all our questions were answered. Benjamin was the best driver, storyteller and guide. He also has a passion for photography and so he drove us to the best spots to take amazing pictures of all the animals. Dullah provided us with delicious food and always made sure that we had a big variety of dishes to choose from. The campsites were in a very good location and the tents were very comfortable to sleep in. Overall we had an incredible experience and would strongly recommend a safari tour with Serengeti Wakanda and especially with Benjamin and Dullah. It was the experience of a lifetime - 10/10! Asante sana!

One of the kind …a Safari that all should experience - Our Tanzania safari with Wakanda was an absolute dream come true. From the vast Serengeti plains to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, every moment felt like stepping into a wildlife documentary. Edward, our guide, is not only phenomenal but also passionate about sharing his knowledge. He ensured that we encountered diverse wildlife up close and gave us enough time for pictures… and I take hundreds and hundreds of them. The accommodation organised by Wakanda was nice, we had two nights camping in the National Parks and I can't recommend it enough, it is a must in your itinerary. When it comes to the food, we were greatly surprised, Ashraf was our private cook and he did an outstanding performance. We did not imagine that we will eat that good in the Savannah. Overall, witnessing the incredible diversity of animals in their natural habitats was awe-inspiring. Definitely Tanzania has a lot to offer and well-suited for safari. Furthermore the entire Wakanda team's hospitality is phenomenal and we can't recommend it enough for those seeking an authentic and unforgettable experience!

Amazing tour guide and cook - Best Safari trip and would highly recommend. We saw all we wanted to see, big cats, elephants, rhinos, the entire Tanzanian wildlife…….. Our diver /guide Edward was an amazing host. Knows the nationals parka just like his backyard. He gave us the best views and knows where to find the wildlife. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and offers great hospitality. The entire ride was comfortable and accommodating. Wifi worked the entire trip in the car. Nice cold beers from the fridge for the journey, what more can you ask for,..cheers Special mention to our cook Ashraf who has been feeding us a feast throughout the journey. That kid prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday and puts up a great feed. He is a legend.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! You have to ask for Freddie and Dula- an absolutely iconic duo!! - This was legit the coolest trip of my life!! Three of us went on the budget 5 day private tour safari right after we hiked kilimanjaro and it was FANTASTIC!! The car was very spacious and had lots of legs room for us after our hike which was so nice! Plus the 5 days gave us plenty of time to see every kind of animal we could have imagined! There wasn’t a single day that we didn’t see something new/ incredible! I would highly recommend a 5 day trip- you’re already in Tanzania, might as well stay long enough to see everything! Now for the guides, we had Freddie as our driver and Dula as our private chef!! First of all, Freddie is without a doubt the nicest man I have ever met in my entire life!! He was so sweet, friendly, professional, humorous, reliable, and very knowledgeable of all things safari! He also was incredible skilled at driving and had many many years of being at the company so he knew exactly how to drive the car, where to go to be safest, the good spots to see animals, etc! I honestly miss him so much already haha! He would talk to us about his family and I can just tell he’s an amazing father and husband. We always felt so safe with him driving! Dula was deemed “the best chef in the Serengeti” by almost every person that we talked to. I’m a pretty picky eater and my appetite was zero coming off the mountain. All I wanted was to go home and eat American food, but by the end of the trip I got so sad to leave Dulas cooking because of how absolutely delicious it was! The food was the cherry on top of this whole experience. Dula would prepare a 3 course meal every day with fresh baked bread and countless other delicious recipes that blew my mind every time. How he was able to cook all that in the middle of camping still baffles me!! Point being please please please ask for Freddie and Dula if you choose to go through this tour provider, I guarantee that you will not regret it!!

Incredible experience with Serengeti Wakanda! - I just came back from a 5 day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari and I can't stop raving about it. It was the most amazing experience of my life. The Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater are truly breathtaking and full of wildlife. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, rhinos, hippos, and more. It was like being in a nature documentary. Our guide, Freddie, was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his job. He always knew where to find the best animals and how to get close to them without disturbing them. He also taught us a lot about the history, culture, and conservation of the area. He made sure we were always safe and comfortable during the safari. Our chef, Dula, was incredible. He cooked delicious meals for us every day, using fresh and local ingredients. He was the best chef in the Serengeti, no doubt. He catered to our dietary preferences and allergies, and always surprised us with something new and tasty. He also had a great sense of humor and entertained us with his stories and jokes. Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari is the best company to book your safari with. They are professional, reliable, and affordable. They provide everything you need for a memorable safari, from the tents, to the vehicles, to the binoculars. They also support the local communities and wildlife conservation efforts. They are more than just a tour company, they are a family. Thank you, Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari, for the trip of a lifetime!

Dream safari - Superb safari with a great guide and a great guy, Andrew. We saw huge amount of animals, cheetah and lion being my favorites. We were well taken care of, for example we had warm meals in lunchtime, while most ate dry sandwiches. Not my first safari, but definitely the best one!
