Outstanding and amazing time. Reliable company, would definitely recommend and use again
Noah speedily replied to all of my messages and even called me to answer some questions I had. The drivers we had were lovely, knowledgable and very helpful. The price we paid was extremely competitive and we received excellent value for the money we spent on the trip. We had the most amazing holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. This was my second trip to Kenya, but my first booking through Wildebeest Safaris. I'm really looking forward to returning to beautiful Kenya and without hesitation I will be using this company again. The company had a good local reputation and was spoken highly of by the staff at the accommodation that we stayed in.

Half a day and a meal short
Went to Maasai Mara from/to Nairobi with Wildebeest Safaris. Reviewing the itinerary later, I see that I wasn't provided what was promised for the last day: instead of morning game drives and then an afternoon return to Nairobi by 5 PM, I got an early drive back that was passed off as a "game drive" and was returned to the city before lunch. I guess I wasn't paying adequate attention as this was my first time out. Oh well. I think the fault was with the safari organization rather than the guide, so I'll spare naming him in a negative review. In fact I think he did alright, and it was a pleasure to chat with him as we went.

Excellent 6 days Safari
We did a 6 days Safari with Wildebeest staying in Amboseli NP, lake Nakuru, Massai Mara and lake Naivasha. We could customize the entire Safari according to our preferences and Noah was extremly helpful during the entire planning phase. Our guide Dennis made our Safari absolutely amazing, doing everything for us to see and experience all highlights: sunsets, boat ride, balloon Safari and of course the fantastic animals. We saw the big 5 not only once, but several times in different situations and animals up close (e.g. lions eating their kill, leopard not only sleeping, but also walking and showing up in full glory along a creek, elephant nursing its baby, ostriches mating...). The lodges were all great, all places were wonderful, however Massai Mara being our highlight. We would definitely recommend Wildebeest Safari and Dennis.

Excellent 2 week safaris
We did a 14 days safaris with "Wildebeest safaris" in Kenya and then Tanzania. It was the first safaris and it was amazing. Firstly, thanks to Noah for all the exchanged messages, he is very patient to explain all the details and respond very quickly, he helped us to solve all the questions for the preparations.
Our safaris was started with our drivers Eustace and Mayungu, they were very nice, lovely and knowledgable, they can always find the best position to observe all the animals, we have saw big five in the three first days in Masai Mara with so many excellant photos, and the boat trip, bike drive were also so excellent.
Then we arrived at Tanzania, we changed drivers, Ayubu and Chotara are full of humor, we could not stop laughing during our trip, they are as well as very knowledgable , they showed us each animal's habitat when we were in Serengeti, we got so many new knowledge.
Again, thanks so much to all the Wildebeest group to give us a beautiful and excellent memory for my safaris, I will turn back with them if I do another safaris!

Amazing
My overall African experience was wonderful and with wildebeest Safaris LTD made it safe , secure and super time management. We were to spend 3 nights in Masai Mara and cut it down to 2 nights and spent the 3rd night at lake Nakuru. All these changes were so swift without we getting much involved and was well taken care by our Guide in Masai Mara. Our schedules were well managed and every fine detail was taken care of . Noah was prompt in all his correspondence right from the first mail to our return. I would highly recommend Wildebeest safari ltd.

Exceptional, personalized and professional service for a once-in-a-lifetime wonderful experience
Our Safari Trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity, which we were anxiously anticipating and spent much time researching various tour companies. We were referred to Wildebeest Safaris from a friend. From the beginning, some 5 months before our trip, Noah was very responsive to our various questions and patient with our unending changes to the itinerary and group size. He took the time to cater to our group (with varying age groups) and gave us comfort in designing a tour programme that fit our diverse needs. When we finally arrived and met our wonderful guides, Chotara and Hamza, they were already briefed on our agenda and were incredibly professional in leading us through 6 days of a fantastic experience. With Hamza leading the duo, they both showed incredibly passion of their work and the love and care of the animals and the environment. The two of them truly exceeded our expectations. Everyday they would consult with us to be flexible in adjusting the day to visit a particular region of the park depending on the animals we wanted to see. They were both consummate professionals with a very pleasant demeanor and organized lodging, meals, and other logistics without any problems. It was very clear that both of them had detailed knowledge of the geography of the parks and intricate understanding of animal behavior – and that wealth of experience helped us in seeing every animal on our list, and many more that weren’t on our list. Wildebeest Safaris is a best-kept secret among tour operators – they are a boutique tour company and are able to give the personalized attention to their clients that some of the larger and older companies will not do. Wildebeest Safaris made our trip unforgettable and all of us credit that success to Chotara and Hamza. Thank you!

This was an unforgettable and exceptional once in a life time experience.
We did a 6 day/ 5 night safari. We started off in Arusha, then drove to Ngorongoro crater for a safari drive and 1 night stay, and then on to Serengeti for 4 nights. Our tour was conducted by Wildebeest Safaris led by Hamza and Chotara. From the time we left Arusha and ended our tour on the airstrip at the Serengeti, our friendly and knowledgeable guides looked after our every need and exceeded our expectations. Hamza and Chotara were fully informed of the itinerary and our whole plan was executed without any hitches. The lodging at Ngorongoro and the Tortillis camp in the Serengeti were excellent. The staff at the Tortillis camp was very hospitable, and it was a great experience. The meals at the camp were exceptional. The picnic hampers they provided us for our daily safaris were well planned and delicious. Hamza and Chatora took us to different parts of the Serengeti every day and guided us to locations where we were able to see over 40 lions, 3 leopards, cheetahs and even the black rhino – most of them at hands length. We saw virtually every animal that lives in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. They were also very knowledgeable about the birds and the smaller animals which made it interesting and very informative. The entire trip was well planned, neatly executed, while accommodating all our requests. The personalized attention we received helped us leave as friends which made the experience even more special.
We recommend Wildebeest Safaris without any reservation. With Hamza and Chotara as your guides, you will be guaranteed an exceptional experience.

What an amazing experience in Kenya and Tanzania!!!
It was a stunner of a trip with Wildebeest Safaris
1) Accommodation - We stayed at 5-6 different accommodations every day (Mara Eden, Mara West, Bush camp etc.) and each and every accommodation was one better than the other.
2) Food - Me and my wife are vegetarian and we were wondering if we will have enough food options. Fortunately, we did ate plate full. Although, the packed food that one takes for lunches can be improved.
3) Tour guide - Both Denise and Mike made our gaming experience absolutely worthy. There knowledge, experience and above all the passion for what they do was visible throughout. We saw all the big fives from just a hand away; like I could pat them if I wanted:).
Overall worth every bit!!
Things to avoid - Masai village trip
Must carry - Binoculars

Trip of a lifetime with super customer care and animal viewing!
We visited Kenya and Tanzania last summer and from the get go Noah was very amenable, giving us accurate quotes and adapting the set tour to suit our requests. We did a 12 day safari and all the accommodation surpassed our expectations, both for locations, customer service and facilities (3 nights at Tortillis camp in the Serengeti was just one of the many amazing places we would love to go back to - check out their pancakes for breakfast and you'll see). Our main guide Humza was extremely experienced and really friendly, answering all our inane safari questions with a constant smile! He went above and beyond at times to allow us maximum animal viewing and because of this we were able to watch and photograph leopards, cheetahs, lions hunting, kudu, LOTS of beautiful elephants and bat eared foxes to name a few. On our last day, Noah realised we would be waiting at the airport for hours so arranged for us to visit the Giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi which was such an unexpected treat! We were so glad we booked with Wildebeest and would highly recommend them - ask for Humza! We'd definitely book with Noah again :)
