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.

Awesome service, start to finish!
Had a great time on our recent African Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Our contact person Sabrina was so helpful and always replied to questions very quickly. I knew we were in good hands. Our guide Benedict did a good job keeping us on schedule as we took a 5 day tour through the Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks. Benedict is very knowledgeable and is a pro at spotting animals. We experienced several exciting close-up encounters as herds of elephants and giraffes crossed the road around our vehicle. We would recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours to anyone wanting an exciting and informative Safari.

The best safari experience I could ever have - Highly recommended
After a lot of research, we chose to do our safari in the Serengeti with Wakanda Tours and Safari — and it was the best decision we could’ve made!
Right from the start, during the quote and planning phase, Goodluck (more than just a salesperson) helped us design an itinerary that would make the most of our time on safari. When we arrived in Arusha — after a delayed bus ride from Nairobi — the Wakanda team, especially our driver Joshua, not only picked us up but also took us to lunch, helped us get coffee, exchange money, and supported us with everything we needed upon arrival in Tanzania. Ben, the company manager, gave us a full briefing for the days ahead.
Our guide, Willy, was simply outstanding! Incredibly experienced and deeply knowledgeable, he guided us through the savannah for five days, showing us an astonishing number and variety of animals — far more than I ever imagined possible in such a short time. What truly set Willy apart was his passion for wildlife, his sharp eye for spotting animals from a distance, and his remarkable ability to predict their movements. Patient, respectful, and always in good spirits, he made us feel safe, inspired, and fully immersed in the experience. Willy didn’t just lead our safari — he made it unforgettable.
And then there was Dula, our personal chef, who completely won us over! Always cheerful and attentive, he prepared the most delicious meals imaginable — without a doubt, one of the highlights of the trip.
I’m so grateful to the entire Wakanda team for making this dream come true. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone!

Highly knowledgeable with a fun vibe.
Had the experience of a lifetime with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Everything - accommodation, lodges, game drives, lunch, service, coordination - was on point. Our guides, Jimmy and Freddy, were very knowledgeable, kind, and a fun vibe. They spotted some excellent animals all through the drives. The overall management by Aishwarya was also fantastic which ensured that our group of 12 were always comfortable and worry free. It was an emotionally important event for us as we were celebrating our friends’ wedding and we are glad we chose Serengeti Wakanda Tours.

Helpful, honest and so sympathetic.
One word: amazing!! It’s starts from the offer to the booking, we were able to speak with someone who also speaks German. So the communication was really easy. Norina helped as a lot and was always replying really fast back and also explained things multiple times to make everything clear. She was there for us from the beginning to the very end! I asked different companies for offers and Wakanda had the best price with the best things included. We arrived in Arusha from Zanzibar and our Guide was already waiting for us. He gave us some small presents and explained us the next days. He told us a lot about the culture, the animals and the people that live here. He tried everything that we saw the best animals!! Always so helpful, sympathetic and caring. Tom was really the best guide we could asked for!! Our hotel for the night was really beautiful and the staff really nice. It was one of the best experiences we did ever in our lives. Believe me, all the money is worth it. Pleas book that trip!!!!

The guide we had was wonderful; he knew everything about the animals and the safari
The safari tour we did was by far the best experience I’ve had in my life. Seeing so many different animals roaming freely was a dream come true.
We were very lucky with our guide Tom; he was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable.
Thanks to him and his skills, we managed to see the Big Five in just two days.

The Dream Team: How Elia and Idris made our Tanzania trip unforgettable!
We found Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris through a recommendation from Gemini AI, and it turned out to be the best travel decision we made. From the planning phase to the final drop-off, this team exceeded every expectation.
The Planning: A special thanks to Goodluck Mloge in the sales team. Planning a safari can be complex, but Goodluck was incredibly professional, responsive, and responsible. He handled our back-and-forth questions with patience and curated the perfect itinerary for us.
The Guide (Elia Edward Mollel - you can Google him): We feel incredibly lucky to have been assigned Elia Edward Mollel as our guide. Elia is in a league of his own.
Master Naturalist: Elia doesn't just drive; he anticipates. He has a deep understanding of animal psychology—he knew exactly what animals would do next based on the weather changes or the behavior of other animals nearby. It felt like he was always one step ahead of the wildlife.
The "Leopard Whisperer": His dedication to finding the "Big 5" is unmatched. In the Serengeti, we saw nearly 50 other vehicles waiting and failing to find a leopard. Elia was the only guide who pushed further, used his instincts, and actually found one for us.
Eagle Eyes: His eyesight is superhuman—he could spot animals from a mile away that we couldn't see even with binoculars.
A Photographer at Heart: As a huge bonus, Elia is a talented hobby photographer. He took incredible photos during the trip and generously shared them with us afterwards. This wasn't part of the package; it was just his personal kindness.
The Chef (Idris): Our chef, Idris, was the heart of our trip. He is funny, respectful, and deeply passionate about his cooking.
Vegetarian Excellence: Being vegetarian, we were worried about the food, but Idris went above and beyond. He tried his absolute best to accommodate us, and his cooking actually got better and better as the safari progressed!
Bakery Surprise: We were shocked to get fresh, delicious cakes and bakery items right in the middle of the bush. You can taste the affection he puts into his food.
The Extra Mile: Elia and the team went above and beyond the itinerary. They arranged an authentic stop for us to meet the Maasai people on the road to Arusha, and even squeezed in a city tour on our last day.
I highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Safaris. If you book with them, ask for the "Elia and Idris" combination—you won't regret it!
