Unforgettable holiday
5/5

Once in lifetime experience with and executive Touch!
I have always dreamt of being in Africa and thanks to simon and Wildrace Africa Safari Tour & Travel, my first time in Africa has been amazing, and for sure the safari trip was the best of it all!
Everything was supper perfect; Simon has been super helpful, swift in his responses, clear and precise in his explanations, very detailed in almost every aspect.
We landed in Kilimanjaro airport late in the night and as promised there was the driver waiting for us at the exit with our name paged on it. We were tranfered to Ilboru safari lodge for our night and later on picked up the next day in the morning to start our 6 days Northern Tanzania Safari visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National park with Arusha airport drop off for our flight to Zanzibar.
During our trip with Deodatus. We were able to spot all the big five and many more animals with lot of ease. Our guide was very professional, down to earth, flexible and quite accommodating with excellent driving skills leave alone the flora and Fauna.
Food was good and always more than enough, the lodges were excellent, best safari car one would ever want to be in for your Tanzania safari trip, very comfortable considering the roads' conditions.
I would not hesitate to recommend simon and his company for anyone who wants to have the best of African Safari experience of a lifetime.
They have both offices in Nairobi and Tanzania, we made our payment in Arusha office. Innocent Frank is the foreman in Arusha office.
Thanks simon, this was Unforgettable holiday!

The review below is the personal opinion of Jerone and not that of SafariBookings.
Horrible !!!!!
1/5

The worst experience I had with a company. I’m not use to write reviews but in this case i need to do it to inform potential futur customers.

DO NOT BOOK with them.

When you ask quotation there are really professional and kind but when you start the safari it’s the mess trouble everyday!!!
A few point amour a lot of others:
-Schedule not respected (they change the plan without inform us)
-they ask money to some customers to pay the park entrance!!!!! (Cause they didn’t got enough money !)
-we went for 5 days others in the car for 3 days we lost half day to change cars
-Hotel is a fake they didn’t respect the hotel the gave in the schedule

Nothing works well there is plenty of other companies so book anywhere else.

The headquarter is located in Kenya We did in Tanzania so don’t believe this guy and his subcontractor friends in Tanzania!
It’s maybe not the direct fault of Kenya office. But anyway with book with wild race Africa so you are responsible of the reliability of your subcontractors !

Hello Jerome.
First my sincere apologies for the bad experience you had in Tanzania under the care of our Tanzania representative. As per our Knowledge and the feed back we got from them is that the trip went successful but this review says contrary. We had taken action on this and we no longer work with him any more.

We have partnered with a Tanzanian local as per their constitution requirement and will now be operating all our trips as Wildrace Africa.

Thank you very much for your kind feed back and for letting us know.
These feed backs helps us adjust our services accordingly so that all our future clients do not go through the same bad experience ever.
Warm regards and stay blessed.

Excellent Experience
5/5

To book a safari online without a reccomendation requires a lot of trust. Wild Race delivered for my wife and I, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Many packages advertised are similar across many different companies, but I can guarantee that Wild Race offer great value and are one of the good guys.

Beautiful safari, easy booking
5/5

I booked a five days Tanzania safari and booking was very smooth and easy. Simon patiently and timely provided all the information I requested. It was a joining group safari with lodge accommodation. The safari was done by Tanzanian branch, all logistics worked perfectly even taking into the account the fact that our group changed a bit in the middle of the trip and that other people in the car were doing camping option. The company also told me that I can choose any starting day and any safari option and they will accommodate it.
The safari itself included visits to four national parks in the North of Tanzania: Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw plenty of animals, saw big five, all five days were exciting and amazing. The parks are very different and each is very special. Lodges which were booked for me were great. The pick up and drop off from/to airport were also included and were on time, in clean nice cars and with good driver.
The entire experience was very positive.

Well organised, nice accommodation and food, the safari trip is incredible!
5/5

Perfect 4-day trip to Masai Mara for my partner and I. We saw everything except the rare black rhino. Best bit was seeing a leopard climb up a tree to eat its kill. Balloon trip is well worth the extra price. Mara Sopa lodge accommodation is fantastic and not far from the park entrance. Food is fine. Obama is a very knowledgeable guide and was very accommodating to our requests. Simon responded to all my emails in a quick fashion before the trip and also called me afterwards to check how the trip went. You travel around in a 10-seater Nissan safari van with a pop-up roof. Really useful to be picked up from Nairobi hotel and dropped off at airport. I would highly recommend Wild Race Africa!

First time in Kenya and first safari
4/5

To give some context to my review, I'm the type of person that usually likes to travel without anything scheduled and figure out what to do in the place. Since this was our first time in Africa, our first Safari and we were going to Kenya in the elections period, we've decided to at least book the Safari online. Finding a company was not an easy task (there are way too many agencies) and Simon was probably the person that better replied to all my questions and did it a timely manner (he was replying much faster than I was replying to his emails, sorry pal!).
When we got to Kenya, everything went smooth but we've figure out that the online companies are nothing more than agencies that deal with freelance drivers and include us in a 4x4 with people from other companies. This is not a bad thing, but for someone that travels on the cheap, you are more than ok to go to Kenya, find one driver and negotiate with him directly. For those of you who prefer to do it the "safer way", I clearly recommend Wildrace Safaris .
Kenya is without a doubt an amazing country to travel around and see a different scenario from anywhere we've been in the world. We had the opportunity to see the big 5 between Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. When in Amboseli, if you can see "Cloudymanjaro", please celebrate for me.
Our trip was lovely and Simon made sure we were always ok during the entire trip. We ad a few roadbumps along the Safari, but "This Is Africa". The important part is that we really enjoyed the country, the safari and everything we crossed paths with.

5/5

The African safari experience.
Much appreciation to African Habitat Safaris Safari tours and their team of experts for a memorable African tour.
We booked a two weeks safari based on reviews about the firm and an incredible Kenya tour operator Rachel was waiting on the other end. She, being the sole owner of the company facilitated the experience form the point of booking to the end of the tour. The safari was conducted in a van fit for my family. Our tour guide, Obama conducted the trip professionally depicting knowledge of the terrain, the wildlife and the culture revolving between Kenya and Tanzania country generally. The destinations across the two countries in Mara and Serengeti. That was a remarkable ten day experience out of Europe

5/5

Awesome African safari experience.
Thanks to Wild trace Africa Safari tours and her team of experts.
We booked a two weeks safari after reading reviews about this company and the incredible, greatest Kenya tour operator simon milambo who happened to be the sole owner of the company, and believe me, the experience form the point of booking to the end of the trip surpassed our expectation. The safari trip take place in jeeps in small groups (We had 7) so all get a window seat. Our guide Obama was simply excellent! He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and the country, not to mention the local peoples culture. Very fluent in English and little bit of French, Spanish and even Italian, something that we found quite incredible with him. Obama often spotted animals before we did and we were lucky enough to see lion cubs playing and male lions prowling next to a herd of wildebeest that later took to their heels for the incredible wildebeest migration across the Mara river. This trip was not just like any other trip, it was a onetime breath taking safari experience of a lifetime. I would thoroughly recommend simon milambo and wild race Africa safari adventure for all your African safari destinations for an excellent African safari experience like no other.
