Great experience!
We were very pleased with our safari experience with Wildebeest Safaris. We started with their suggested itinerary and then tailored it a bit. They were very flexible in making the changes we requested. Everything went smoothly and all of the accommodations chosen by the company were very nice. All of our guides -Geoffrey, Ayubu and Tony -- were friendly, knowledgeable and great at spotting wildlife. We will definitely recommend the company to our family and friends.

Amazing first Safari
They arranged a safari 7 days: Samburu, Naibasha and Masai Mara . Everything was perfect and recommendations of times at each site and accommodations were very successful. Denis, our guide, was great; friendly, professional and attentive to our needs at all times (ah !! and a great driver ... must be taken into account with some roads in Kenya). Thanks to him, we could see all kinds of animals at each place. Accommodations perfect as recommended by Noah. At least offered alternative and not the same as other companies accommodation. they all perfect exceeded our expectations in terms of facilities and location for the park.
From our point of view, highly recommended safaris with this company.

excellent
We booked a 10 day safari with Wildebeest Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. Noah (the company owner) was always prompt about returning emails, staying in contact and answering all the questions we could have.
He was also very nice and helped us in managing one suitcase missed at the airport although it was not part of the Safari.
Noah was also in daily contact with our guides to ensure everything was ok and we were fine.
We have had a wonderful time visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Amboseli. Because we traveled across the border from Kenya to Tanzania and back, it was necessary to have 3 different guides (Dennis (Kenya), Wilson (Tanzania) and Anthony (Kenya)). They were very polite, pleasant, helpful, patient and knowledgeable and looked carefully for all type of animals we could find in each reservation. We were able to see everything we came for and so much more (wildebeest, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, many kinds of birds, including pelicans, flamingos, many families of baboons, blue monkey, etc. as well as the Big 5: elephants, leopards, lions, buffalos and rhinos).
Our first guide, Dennis, was an excellent driver. He tried his best in searching for things for us to see. In lake Naivasha, at one point he was driving like crazy in order to get us to the spot to see rhinos (in fact, it was the only place we saw them). He also tried really hard in searching for cheetahs, lions and leopards in Masai Mara – and he was successful! He also did not complain for us making him stop to take photos. He worked with the rangers and other guides via cell phone and radio to find out where the animals were that we wanted to see.
Our next guide, Wilson, was a very professional guide and a careful driver and fulfilled all our requests. He provided a lot of interesting information not only about the animals, but about the people, etc. He was a caring and responsible person. He was also very patient and waited with no complaint when we asked to do so in order to take photos. (even if that meant to arrive at the tented camp at dark). He knew when to wait for the action and where to look for the animals. He also communicated with rangers to find out animals.
Our third guide, Anthony, was okay even at the end at the airport. He helped us with collecting the missed suitcase in one terminal and dropped us off in the one our flight departure. On Safari, he was a bit in a hurry (we were in Amboseli only for one day), but looking for a good angle to take pictures. He also took us up to the Observation Hill in Amboseli.
The quality of the tented camps they booked was very, very high. Only, two of them, a little far from Reserves (Ngorongoro and Tarangire)
We booked pop-up roof safari land cruiser which was better vehicle when you compare with other ones. Only when we went to Amboseli, the vehicle was not the one we expected as it was a van, but as it was for the two of us, we had plenty of room (and it had also a pop-up roof)
We had some hesitation to book this trip from an agency far away, but everything resulted very good. "Wildebeest Safaris" is a very good company and I would recommend Wildebeest Safari to anyone

Amazing, worthwhile experience overall!
My safari trip far exceeded my expectations. I went alone and the Wildebeest staff and my tour guide tailored the entire 3-day itinerary in Masai Mara to my preferences and were very hospitable. The accommodations were wonderful - a luxury tent with great facilities. I highly recommend the Wildebeest Safari if you are looking for a personalized and adventurous safari experience.

“Had great time...highly recommended.”
It was a well organized trip covering 3 National Parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara) in a week.. Credits goes to Mr. Noah Kuti who have organized everything perfectly.. It is very hard to find tour operators like Mr Kuti who will patiently answer all your questions and arrive on time for your trip.. Package price found to be the best compared to other companies providing Land Cruiser for safari.. He took his sincere efforts for providing us the best accommodations in all the parks and also arranged the hot air balloon ride thru Masai Mara, which was really a lifetime experience.. I also thank Mr. Elinjo, our driver cum guide who was very friendly and enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable about parks and the characteristics of all animals & birds.. As a traveler, I strongly recommend others to utilize Wildebeest Safari's services as they are flexible for our different needs & professional at their services. Once again, I thank Wildebeest for providing us such a beautiful trip..

Excellent Safari
We chose a 10 day safari which went to Kenya and Tanzania. The whole safari went smoothly apart from a delay at the Tanzanian Border as the Tanzanian Driver had a problem with his vehicle. This meant we were very late getting to the Serengeti, but other than that it all went according to plan. We saw lots of animals. Email communication was good from Noah, and the service of the guides. All in all this met our expectation, and I would recommend this company.

As you would like it !
We were planning a 10 day Kenya / Tanzania Safari in Nov. After looking at a few national operators in our country, i went online to search for a kenyan operator for the authentic safari experience. Post a few searches i stumbled upon Wildebeest Safaris and then got in touch with Noah.
The experience was great from the beginning - high responsiveness, customization / suggestion of the ideal itinerary ( specifically what we can leave out !) , no of days at each reserve. Given that we were a group of 7 with 3 children ( 5 , 5, 9 ) lodging quality and food was of importance to us as well. To say the least, we were impressed by the Food and Lodging across all locations. Also, Noah ensured that we got the mixed and varied experience of staying in lodges as well as tented camps.
Quality of Guides / vehicle was also quiet good. We also faced vehicle breakdown in the game reserve ( the axle broke ! nothing much can be planned for this ) , but was handled well by our guide and we were provided an alternate vehicle in good time to continue our day safari. 2 guides that impressed us the most ( and you can ask for them for your tour ) : Eustech in Kenya and Steven in Tanzania. As we got a dedicated land cruiser for ourselves, it was very comfortable and flexible to plan our daily safaris.
The cost was very competitive - specifically when i compare them to my national operators. Wildebeest Safari is definitely a go for - as they would most definitely provide you with what you wish for !

Very efficient and everything was as mentioned at time of booking
I am from Montreal, Canada and I communicated directly with Mr. Kuti who was very helpful and replied very quickly to my various questions by giving me all the details so that I can make a decision. My experience was
very good and everything went as I expected. I would refer Wildebeest Safaris without any hesitation
