Exceptional experience for first class adventure
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a safari with African Hartebeest Safaris in Kenya, and it was an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, we were warmly welcomed by their representative and transferred to the luxurious Hemingways Nairobi.

Our journey began with a city tour of Nairobi, where we visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Giraffe Centre. It was fascinating to learn about elephant conservation and get up close with the gentle giants. The itinerary was well-planned, ensuring we made the most of our time in Kenya.

The highlight of our safari was the five nights we spent in Masai Mara. The luxury lodge provided a perfect blend of comfort and adventure. The game drives were thrilling, and the knowledgeable guides made the experience even more enriching with their insights into the wildlife and ecosystem.

Overall, African Hartebeest Safaris exceeded our expectations with their exceptional service, attention to detail, and commitment to providing a memorable safari experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Kenya.

Kenya - Incredible experience from start to finish.
5/5

Incredible experience from start to finish.
Beverley accommodated every little request to make this trip perfect - the fabulous Hemingway hotel and activities in Nairobi with private tour guide James, seamless air travel to Masai Mara, very comfortable accommodation at Intrepids (with the BEST food), hot air ballooning experience and our excellent game driver Jonathan.
This is the third trip I’ve booked with Beverley and her team at African Haartebeest Safaris and each time she manages to impress me more.
Highly recommend Beverley for any East Africa Trips.

Okay, so communication was good

The Safari part was perfect
Ukunda part was okay but we both managed to improve the quality of the stay there

Generally speaking I am satisfied with the service, looking to improve few points and would love to collaborate again and have more trips

Highly committed towards the traveller needs and comfort and a very trustworthy DMC
5/5

Beverlyn is not a DMC in Kenya anymore for us, she is become a most trustworthy business partner and a friend. She is very efficient, understands the requirements very well, gives us good fair price and most reliable DMC in this region.

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.

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.
