Amazing african safari experience
My wife and I visited Kenya for a 8 day trip in November and stayed at Zebra Plains mara camp (3N), Flamingo hill tented camp (1N), Kibo Safari Camp (2N) & Panari hotel Nairobi (1N). We opted for a private safari in a 4x4 land cruiser. Noah was excellent to work with right from the start. He was prompt in his communication (email, whatsapp, phone calls), transparent and professional. The itinerary was complete with pictures of accommodation and vehicle included.
When I informed him of my early morning return flight and requested to end the safari at Amboseli NP with a half day game drive followed by transfer to Nairobi, he promptly reversed the itinerary and also added a complimentary one night stay along with airport transfer for us. Some of the other tour operators I was considering were not as flexible even though I was booking a private tour. To book the trip I paid a 10% deposit via an online portal and the remainder was settled after I arrived in Nairobi. Our guide Dennis was awesome, he strived to ensure that we saw the Big 5 and had amazing interactions. He was excellent at spotting animals and positioning the vehicle to give us the best viewing angles as well as light for good pictures. I appreciated how knowledgeable he was about the animals and their behaviors. During our 2 full day game drives in the Mara, Dennis would search for a good shaded spot and setup a table & chairs for us to have lunch. The vehicle was comfortable and had power supply to charge our phones and camera. Our camps had clean, spacious rooms, delicious meals and friendly staff. I'd give the picnic lunches provided for full day game drives an 'A' for effort but a 'B' for taste. The chicken in the picnic lunches would be very dry and chewy, but the spread at the camp more than made up for it. The rooms and common areas at Zebra Plains & Kibo Amboseli are more modern and newer. I'd stay at these camps again. Zebra Plains has a watering hole right outside their camp where a couple of water buffalos and zebras always hang out. On two evenings we saw a large herd of giraffes walk by as the sun set. We could see them from our room as well as the dining area. Flamingo hill seemed a bit older and the tent was smaller, dimly lit compared to the other two, but overall it was good for a 1 night stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and I'd book with Wildebeest Safaris for my future trips.

Well organized, once a lifetime experience
We made a individual 7 day safari and spent two nights in Amboseli, one night in Lake Nakuru and three nights in Masai Mara.
During booking process Noah usually answered very quick and made all the reservations for us (including our self chosen accommodation)
The whole safari was just amazing and a once a lifetime experience. Our driver and guide Dennis always did his best job to spot the animals and get us in the perfect position to make some awesome pictures. If there was something going on, he could drive like a formula 1 pilot, but we still felt safe every time. Each game drive was something special and we could tell him our wishes and thoughts. In the end we saw all the animals, we just missed a black rhino, which is hard to spot. On the other side there were lions, cheetahs, a beautiful leopard and many many more.
So there was actually nothing to complain about. Sometimes dennis got a lot of phone calls, but this seems to be normal in Kenya.
We would definitely recommend this tour again. Just wow!

Philip was very helpful, friendly, experienced. knew his way around, showed us some amazing places.
We saw so many amazing animals and places. Only one from big fuve we missed was leopard, so I take it as a success. We had a picknick out in the wilderness under acacia tree and we enjoyed it with marabu bird nearby. We also saw crocodiles in river Mara and hippos on several ocassions during the day.

Amazing wildlife experience
We - (a couple) planned our visit to Kenya to experience the Wildlife here. Kuti was always welcoming to all our suggestions or doubts about the plans.
We got Hassan as guide who was well versed with the locations in the different national reserves. I was amused by his knowledge of different species and their general behaviours.
We could check-mark all the BIG - 5 in this tour,
All our stays were pretty luxurious with utmost hospitality, way beyond our expectations for the tents.
All in all, it was superb experience and to add I find travelling with Wilderbeast Safaris more value for money. I would definitely recommend them to our friends and family travelling to kenya.

Best experience ever.
Our experience with Kuti / Wildebeest safaris has been excellent. We were picked up from the airport and our guide and driver was already waiting with the car. The best lodges were booked for us. And Bonnie was a superb guide. The very best one can find in Kenya I must say. He mad everything so flawless and special for us. Very polite nice and good person. Never said no for anything and always helped us out. He also showed us the big five and all the wildlife there is in Kenya. Fantastic experience really.. couldn't ask for a better travel experience. Worth every penny spent.

This is a top notch operation that delivered an unforgettable experience with attention to detail.
I Can’t say enough good things about this operation. They communicated very well and answered all my questions in a timely manner. My son and I did a 3 day safari on the Masai Mara that was a once in a lifetime experience. Do yourself a favor and book a private jeep for your group. It gives you so much flexibility to move around, stand up, get a better view or escape the sun. We were so glad we did. Our guide, Dennis, was the best! He was so personable, answered all our questions and found some of the most spectacular sightings on the Mara. With 12 years of safari guide experience, he is a pro. If I go back, I will definitely request him specifically.
