We have just completed a totally fantastic 8-day, 7-night trip, definitely one of a lifetime. Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Olduvai, Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Tumsifu was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining, more than one guide told us he was the best.

Beautifully planned, world-class guide

Beatrice planned the itinerary beautifully, exceptionally responsive, even coordinating a 4:30 AM airport drop-off seamlessly. Edward, our guide, elevated the experience beyond expectations with encyclopedic knowledge and infectious passion. We saw the Big 5, Ugly 5 and a live cheetah hunt.

Hands down one of the most incredible travel experiences

Each day brought new landscapes, new encounters, moments that honestly felt unreal. Edward's driving and instincts were spot-on, two leopards, multiple lion families, elephants and even a rhino. Ngorongoro Crater was nothing short of magical.

Seamless from first message to landing in Kilimanjaro

The whole process was seamless. Aishwarya's communication made it stress-free, when an accommodation issue came up, within 20 minutes she had us booked somewhere better. The highlight was two cheetahs jumping onto the roof of our vehicle. The best at what they do.

We can recommend this agency 100%

Beatrice always helped us super-friendly and built the perfect plan. Andrew, with 15+ years of guiding, showed us impressive wildlife and explained many exciting facts. The accommodations exceeded expectations and the warm lunches in the parks were a real plus.

Witnessed the river crossing, unbelievable

Our guide positioned us perfectly for the Mara River crossing. Hours of patience rewarded with a thundering crossing of thousands of wildebeest. The team's understanding of the migration is unmatched.

Champagne breakfast in the bush, private dinners under the stars, and game drives that left us speechless. Serengeti Wakanda made our honeymoon truly unforgettable.

Kids and parents both blown away

Travelled with our two kids (8 and 11). The team adapted everything for them, shorter drives when needed, kid-friendly camps, junior ranger activities. Best family trip we've ever taken.

A dream come true

One of the best experiences of my life with my partner. His dream was a safari and we couldn't have chosen better than Serengeti Wakanda. Julius was our guide, see you next time, bro! So rewarding I'd repeat it a thousand times. (And the vegan food was delicious!) 100% recommended.

Incredible experience and excellent guide

It was my third trip to Tanzania and Wakanda Tours delivered in every sense. Bartho designed a custom itinerary; Felix was kind, professional and engaging, spotted the rare white rhino in Ngorongoro from a mile away while driving. Lala Salama was enormous and luxurious.

Felix is knowledgeable, a great spotter (rhino from 2 km away while driving!), welcomes all questions, super patient and friendly. I felt safe with him around. Thank you Felix and Bartho for one of the best adventures of my life.

You can trust 100%

Honestly, everything was perfect from start to finish. Zephania took great care of us all day and made every effort to show us as many animals as possible, leopard, cheetah, lions and all their cubs. The chefs even came to ask about our favourite picnic meal.

Extremely knowledgeable, and a fun person to be around

One of the best trips I've ever been on. Julius was very knowledgeable about the species in this ecosystem, we knew we were in good hands. Service from housing to meals was top-notch. Absolutely recommend Wakanda Tours for a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Reached the summit thanks to this incredible team

The crew was simply outstanding. Guides monitored our acclimatisation closely, the food on the mountain was unbelievable for what's possible at altitude, and porters were treated and paid fairly. Summited Uhuru Peak in tears of joy.
