What's covered

Where your safari could take you

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park

Endless plains, the Great Migration, and the highest concentration of big cats on the circuit.

Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater

A collapsed volcanic crater packing the densest wildlife viewing in Africa into one bowl.

Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park

Baobab-studded plains and Tanzania's largest elephant herds, with far fewer vehicles than the Serengeti.

White sand, warm water and Stone Town — an hour's flight from the plains to end the trip on.

Our Tanzania safari exceeded every expectation, and a huge part of that came down to our guides, Johny Agre and Eric. From the first day, they showed genuine care for our family, especially that one of us had a disability. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, and treated us less like clients and more like people they truly wanted to take care of. Their knowledge of the wildlife and terrain was outstanding — they spotted animals and showed great skill and patience reaching them, explained behavior and ecology with real depth, and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. Professionalism was evident in every detail: punctual, well organized, and always thinking a step ahead. Johny Agre and Eric turned a great trip into an unforgettable one — we started out as a group and guides and ended up as friends.

We were a family of 15 and spent six incredible days traveling from Arusha to the northern Serengeti. Wakali assigned us three jeeps with three amazing drivers: Eric, Johnny, and Agrie. The trip was absolutely excellent, with countless wildlife sightings and unforgettable, dramatic scenes of nature. Eric, Johnny, and Agrie were incredibly knowledgeable about the routes, the animals, and the best places to find wildlife. They were patient, attentive, and always made sure everything was well organized. A special thank you to Adi and Jonathan for putting everything together so professionally and making this family trip such a memorable experience. We highly recommend Wakali for an unforgettable safari experience!

We had an absolutely incredible safari with Wakali Safari! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. Our guide and driver, Agrey, was outstanding — extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. He answered every question with detailed explanations, and took wonderful care of our family, especially our kids. Thanks to his incredible tracking skills, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn't have asked for a better safari experience.

From our very first conversation to our farewell after 10 days, we felt truly cared for. Every part of the trip was thoughtfully tailored to our interests, creating the perfect balance between breathtaking wildlife, stunning landscapes, and authentic cultural experiences. Adi and Jonathan are amazing people whose love for Tanzania, its nature, and its people is evident in everything they do. Our guide, Agre, was outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, patient, and always enthusiastic. We also traveled on a kosher trip, and it was impressive to see how flawlessly all the complex logistics were managed. A special recommendation: don't miss the cultural experiences — the visit to the Maasai village, the bike tour, and the visit to the local farm added a unique dimension to the trip.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience — if I ever do it again, it will only be with Wakali. The tour was perfect. Johnny, the guide, had an incredible amount of knowledge and explained everything in a pleasant and engaging way. He was very attentive to our needs, and thanks to his knowledge, we saw all the animals that were there to see. Excellent hotels, a comfortable jeep, and great food. I highly recommend it without hesitation.

We went on a 5-day safari trip in Tanzania guided by Johnny. Johnny is a guide with a captivating personality — humble, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. At every single moment, he made sure we were comfortable, well-fed, engaged, and having a great time. Most importantly, he expertly maneuvered the jeep so we could get the closest possible view of all the safari wildlife, all while showing the utmost respect for the animal kingdom. I highly recommend anyone planning a trip like this to request Johnny as their guide!
