African Haatebeest, a great Tour operator
5/5

Our holiday was coordinated by Beverly Akivaga. This lady is a legend, she can do it all.
When my wife and I were hoping to combine a business trip with a 30th Anniversary holiday through Kenya (the place of our honeymoon) and Tanzania, we wanted to use an African owned business. We were recommended to try African Hartebeest. We found them to be an incredibly thorough and thoughtful tour operator.
We asked for a packed agenda and Beverly delivered, in fact, she over delivered!
We wanted to do so many things and African Hartebeest were able to fit it all in but after consultation with Beverly, we realised we would not be able to really enjoy everything due to the time in between venues, you forget how huge Kenya is. We are sooo grateful that she steered us right, allowing us to relax and really enjoy our trip.
Over three weeks, we visited the great national parks in two countries; Amboseli, Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, the exquisite conservancy at Leopard Hill, and the luxurious relaxing beach resort at Diani Beach. From travel to my business meetings from Nairobi to northern Kenya, Beverly arranged it all for us. Even when we had a very late change of mind on one item (due to us being tired), Beverly took it in her stride and arranged at extremely short notice, an even better excursion out to a beautiful marine sanctuary which was even better than we had asked for.
Travelling with the wonderful Ed, (it would be an insult to just call him our guide), showed that he was incredibly knowledgeable about his country (Kenya), and equally knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife we came so far to see to see. Throughout the trip across two countries, Beverly arranged transport, drivers, collections, flights including ballooning across the Masai Mara at dawn (an absolute must, that we waited 33 years to do since missing out when visiting previously). We appreciated those little touches, from surprise anniversary celebrations and photographs at the resorts, chocolates and cute anniversary messages on the pillows in the rooms, the attention to detail was excellent.
For this personal service, the value for money and the absolute reliability of those tasked with taking care of us in our travels, we would return in a heartbeat, and definitely use African Hartebeest again.
We wish Beverly, Ed, and her dedicated team, all the best. Hopefully we'll be back rather sooner than 33 years.

I booked ahead of time so I could get a good price and this helped saved me a lot of money. Beverly was patient and hands-on, answering all my questions comprehensively.

Another amazing Safari!
5/5

This is my second booking in less than a year with Beverly at African Hartebeest. She is always very quick to respond to questions! Excellent value for money. Everything just runs so smoothly from start to finish. She’s an absolute delight. The Safari never disappoints! I recommend that you request Jonathan as your guide because he is simply incredible. This is my second time with Jonathan and he is THE best guide I’ve ever had on Safari! I would recommend African Hartebeest to anyone considering a trip to Kenya!

Great organization, huge quality, awesome experience
5/5

We relied on African Hartebeest Safaris to organised our honey moon. Our trip consisted on 4 days doing safari (Tarangire, Serenguetti & Ngorongoro) + 3 days in Zanzibar. Everything was perfectly organized. Great driver and guide (Godwin), amazing hotels, perfect timings, and above all, excellence service from their side (special thanks to Beverlyn Imali) for a very good price. With out any doubt, we recomend African Hartebeest Safaris to other travellers. Everything was perfect.

Exceptional experience!
5/5

It’s all in the title! This was truly an exceptional experience from initial booking to departure. Beverly was so attentive and responded quickly to all my questions. Traveling during Covid times can make people feel a little apprehensive about booking but rest assured that African Hartebeest Safaris will take care of everything. The game drives were incredible and if you’re lucky enough to have Jonathon as your guide you will be guaranteed the time of your life! He is knowledgeable, passionate and incredibly skilled at what he does. If you’re hesitant about booking, don’t be! Book it because it will be the time of your life!

Excellence and Trustable Service
5/5

I sent my Masai Mara safari enquiry to many tour operators for the quotations. I chose African Hartebeest Safaris at the end, fortunately, I picked the right one. I contacted with Beverlyn, sales rep. of the company. She responded my e-mail quite fast. The communication was in easy, straightforward, reliable and professional way. I highly recommended this company.
