Everything worked as planned
We traveled from Santiago, Chile, very far away, so we were concerned that we had chosen a trustworthy agency.
Now we can tell you that everything worked as planned. I will surely reccomend wildebeest safaris to friends and family.
From the very beginning communications were quick and easy going. We communicated with Noah Kuti and Josiah Barack via email and whatsapp, and always received timely answers.
All the pickups, transfers, flight connections and logistics worked beautifully. The guides were all nice and had more than enough experience and knowledge.

Incredible safari experience with wonderful accommodations and guide. The entire process from getting a quote to booking the tour was straightforward and easy. Our guide was fantastic providing great insights and ensuring we hit everything on our checklist.

Based in Nairobi - so operates well within Kenya. SOL If you are planning to use them outside.
Where do I start? Here you go!
1. A/C did not work on any of the vehicles outside Kenya. Driver had windows lowered and with the muddy roads, there was dust everywhere.
2. One of the drivers (Charles) stole one of our smartphones and lied to us when we asked about it. Later we found that there was a social media account attempted to be opened under his name with this number.
3. We made the mistake of adding an unplanned point (Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwean side) to the trip. They not only charged us exorbitantly, but also charged us for services not rendered, and refuse refund the excess charge.
Reply from Wildebeest Safaris
Posted on Feb 6, 2018Dear Aravind,
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand your concern regarding A/C not working in Zimbabwe. I have spoken to our ground handler to work on this matter and revert back soonest possible as we had instructed them A/C is a must.
Regarding the phone, my counterpart in Zambia was able to track it and found it. Until now our Ground handler has the phone. He has failed to send it because of the new regulations with electronic devices with the courier companies. I had mentioned to you earlier sometimes last year.
As for the unplanned additional activity we usually recommend guests to book with our office to avoid such scenarios. Our ground handler had asked if all of you have Visas for Zimbabwe and the answer was affirmative. Money was paid to the company handling the same. Two pax were declined entry because they had no Visas. My counterpart tried to get a refund from the Zimbabwean tour operator who declined because it was less than 24 hours cancellation policy.
Kind Regards,
Moses Otieno

We had a wonderful 19 day safari experience with Wildebeest Safari
My wife and I did an extended 19 day safari with Wildebeest Safaris in January 2018, making a big loop through Kenya and Tanzania, visiting Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Amboseli. The safari more than exceeded our expectations. We had the time of our lives and would highly recommend the experience. Everything was as promised and everything went smoothly. All of the guides were first rate - very knowledgeable, experienced and highly skilled, fun to be with and great at finding wildlife and getting us really really close to it. They added a tremendous amount to the experience. We always felt safe and in good hands. We never got stuck, despite dealing with serious mud or sand at times. We had Dennis for 9 days in Kenya, Chotara for 7 days in Tanzania and Andrew for the last two days in Amboseli. You cannot go wrong with any of these guys.
We saw all of the marquee wildlife that East Africa has to offer, including 3 leopards, 11 cheetah and over 80 lions - and 1 serval and 3 genets. In Masai Mara we saw all of the Big 5 just in one morning. We got close to big cats feeding at 4 fresh kills ( lots of gore), had ring side seats to a stand-off between cheetah and hyena, saw lions mating close-up (repeatedly) and even saw lion cubs nursing and a cheetah (with her cub) chasing a gazelle. And that’s just the cats!
All of the lodges and camps were clean and comfortable, and often downright luxurious. The food was generally good and certainly was plentiful. The itinerary suggested by Noah of Wildebeest Safaris was varied and exciting and avoided too many long travel days. In setting up the trip, Noah was always prompt and professional in responding to any questions or other communications.
All in all, it was a first rate trip with Wildebeest Safaris. Our only quibbles would be that binoculars were missing or broken in 2 of the vehicles - so it would be best to bring your own - and some of the seat belts in the Landcruisers need attending to.

Simply put, it was the best African Safari!
We were a group of 14 lads from London who traveled to Kenya for the first time. We managed to find Noah and his company Wildebeest Safaris online after some intense research. From the first hello to the final goodbye, Noah and his team took great care of us all. We had 2 drivers for the Safari duration; Eustace and Noah's brother, Dennis. Both were amazing, knowledgeable, down to earth and chilled, and made our trip very easy and practical throughout. They had great knowledge about the Mara and where to find animals, and just in general, they were both genuine. Noah definitely takes into consideration everything you want or need from start to finish, he takes pride in making your trip tailored for you, and he is very approachable and easy to get in contact with should there be any issues (which there weren't). I will be returning at some point and will be booking again with Noah no doubt! We booked our safari about a month before we arrived, and I actually didn't know what to expect, but everything was perfectly fine and went smoothly. We managed to see pretty much every animal the Mara has to offer including Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelle, Topi's, Lions, Hippos, Leopards with cubs, Warthogs aka Pumba from The Lion King, and many more! Overall, I have traveled to many countries, but I have to say this has been my best experience and holiday till today. I would encourage everyone to visit Kenya and do a safari in Masai Mara through Wildebeest Safaris and Noah!

Wonderful safari!!!! Great experience
We have been on the 14-Days-Private-Safari in January 2018 with Wildebeest. The safari was from the beginning until the end an awesome experience. Noah, who organized our safari, always responded very quickly to our requests and everything on our two weeks trip worked perfectly. During the 14 days we enjoyed the company of three different drivers/guides in Kenya and Tanzania which were all brilliant and very knowledgeable. Their quality as animal spotters and their abundant knowledge of East African‘s wildlife was impressive. Thank you again, Andrew, Ayubu and Denis.
The lodges and tented camps we stayed in were wonderful and all of very high standard. To sum it up, Wildebeest Safari made our honeymoon-safari unforgettable and we can highly recommend the company. Whenever we have the urge to see elephants, cheetahs and lions again, Wildebeest Safari will be the company of our choice.

A great company to book with
Noah at Wildebeest Safaris was extremely professional and very nice. He was the only operator listen to my father and sister, they were planning the trip, and built a trip around our interests and not what the company wanted us to do. My father and sister spent almost 8 months with other operators who quoted the most expensive options only before they found Wildebeest. Noah helped them plan a unforgettable experience that was fantastic and fun. Our accommodations were great. Our guides very knowledgeable and took time to let us see and experience everything. I had no prior expectations since this was my first trip to Kenya and Tanzania and found this to be a wonderful, unexpected, brilliant trip. A shout out to our guides Max in Kenya and Homza in Tanzania who showed us the wonders of Africa.

Three-day safari was a agreat expereince, pProfessional and high standard.
Everything was prepared professionally. I cannot complain about anything. The offert was relevant and detailed. The contact with the owner immediate.
The drive to the national park was in nice companion and convenient conditions. We spent time while on safari with the driver and guide in one person who has impressed us with his knowledge about the place, widlife and by having nice and friendly personality. The service and facilities in the camp exceeded our expectations.
