Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Two wonderful stays in Wayo Africa accommodations
Nov 2023 • Family
The first accommodation was Manyara Green Camp in Manyara National Park. Very idyllic and remote with humorous staff right next to a waterfall.
The second camp was the Walking Safari Camp in the Serengeti. Very individual and in harmony with nature. Our guide Saki showed us safari from a completely different perspective - on foot through the wilderness. Unforgettable, intense and grounding. We will gladly return.

Great guide service
Sep 2023 • Couples
Our guide Benson was fantastic, we did a 2 day safari in the Ngorongoro crater and at Lake Manyara. We were able to see so many animals and great photos, listened to what we wanted and went out of his way to find us those animals. Dianna and Dale Deck

Lake Duluti walk - must do for bird watchers!
Aug 2023 • Couples
We did the Lake Duluti walk and absolutely loved every minute of it! Our guide Kennedy was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable about the area’s environment and wildlife.

Kennedy is an expert bird-spotter and thanks to him we saw wood owls, goshawks, kingfishers and paradise flycatchers. We also saw lots of Nile Monitors and Blue Monkeys! Kennedy was extremely accomodating of my bird photography and it really felt like he was enjoying spotting the birds as much as we were! I now have photos of African Birds that I will treasure forever.

In the quiet patches, while scanning for wildlife Kennedy also helped us with some Swahili practice. It was obvious from this experience that Kennedy is passionate about his home and this enthusiasm was contagious.

Thank you Wayo and Kennedy for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing Experience
Feb 2023 • Couples
We had an excellent time with all of our excursions with Wayo. We did a walking safari, a hike, night game drive and village walk, all of which were amazing. The guides were so knowledgeable about everything and had answers to all of our questions. our guide for the night drive was very knowledgeable about astrology which we really enjoyed learning about. We stayed at Wayo Manyara Green Camp and all of the staff went above and beyond for us. The food was excellent as well as the tent accommodations. My husband had a gluten allergy and they prepared special food for him as well. If you will be in this area, I highly recommend Wayo. This was our first safari experience and it was definitely beyond our expectations.

Great family Safari!
Aug 2022
Every member of the WAYO Africa team was great. Catherine helped us plan an extraordinary trip, was so flexible, creative and met all of our family's needs and expectations. Our guide, Emmanuel was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and patient - especially with our jet-lagged kids. Each place that we stayed had it's own magical element. Highlights were WAYO's green camp - elephants at dinner every night! - and our day driving through the Ngorongoro crater.

I could not recommend WAYO more!

No Response to Inquiries
Aug 2022
I do not understand why I could not get a response to multiple requests to book a walking safari. Everything I read led me to believe this was a premier company now leading walking safaris in the Serengeti.

It is so hard to find authentic walking safaris in Africa anymore. We were so excited to hear about Wayo Africa. I sent in an inquiry and received an immediate response. I replied with our dates and have never heard back. I have sent several emails asking for feedback with no response.

Maybe they only want to work with tour operators. That is fine with me but please let me know. My wife and I have traveled extensively in Africa and have never been ignored by any company. Since then, I have contacted ATR. They are amazing and responsive.

The lack of any response should worry any traveler in Africa. All is good until something goes wrong on a planned safari. I have zero confidence Wayo Africa would be there to support you.

I do not write negative experiences. The complete lack of response is unacceptable.

Fantastic safari
Jul 2022 • Family
We truly enjoyed our holidays organized by Wayo. Wayo staff have always been very professional and patient with us: from the building of the holidays until the very last day . And then the holidays itself … a memory that we will remain in our hearts forever Tented camps: fantastic. The location in lake Manjara a jewel: just sitting in front of your tent and watching elephants passing by, to give an example. And then very professional and kind crew at each camp.
Our guide has been great: very very knowledgeable, available, able to find incredible spots and the most hidden animals. We enjoyed his company a lot.
Walking safari and night game also a great experience.
I would recommend a safari with Wayo to anyone
