Excellent Safari. Exceeded my expectations!
The communications prior to booking, the booking, and information given after the booking but before the trip were excellent. The only thing I would suggest is that the itinerary start times take into account the time of year. When daylight is longer, the itinerary should reflect what the guide has in mind for start times. The start time should be communicated each time before parting ways.
The service was also very good and the lodges also exceeded what I expected.
I was very glad I chose Wildebeest Safaris. The guide worked very hard to find all the animals we wanted to see. He was always listening to the radio to be sure that if another guide saw one of the "big 5" , he would do everything he could to get us there in time. He went out of his way to ensure we were happy. After the missed communication for the first drive, he was always verifying the time we were to meet next. And he was always on time!
Definitely 5 stars!

Responsive during the planning process and excellent guide!
Noah was always very prompt returning emails and answering questions throughout the process, from our initial inquiry up until we left for Kenya. I can’t say enough good things about our guide, Eustace, he was truly exceptional and really made the Safari a memorable experience. We were very pleased with the lodges that were included in our package and our vehicle.
This was our first (but not our last!) Safari and I could t be happier that we selected Wildbeest Safaris, they delivered an amazing experience.

Hands down the BEST!!!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our safari in Masai Mara thanks to Wildebeest Safaris. It was hands down the BEST service and experience!
Communication was prompt and clear from booking to the tour itself. Noah emailed us in a timely manner (which was not the case for several other companies I reached out to) and answered all our questions and was very helpful in helping us customize a package. He was able to recommend different lodging choices and vehicle types based on our budget. The invoice was accurate and clear and the itinerary was very thorough. Instead of pick up and drop off at the airport, they were flexible and kind enough to pick us up from where we were staying in Nairobi. This was really convenient as other companies I reached out to were very strict about pick ups only at the airport or you had to figure out transport to their office on your own. Noah really made everything so easy for us as travelers! He was available by cell phone and texted us information about our driver and ETA the night before.
The safari experience was incredible all because of our talented driver and guide, Dennis! He was very kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He's been with the company for about a decade and knows Masai Mara park like the back of his hand which is a huge advantage! Dennis really does everything he can to show you an unforgettable safari experience. We were able to see the Big 5 and WAY more than we expected. This is all due to Dennis' wisdom and tenacity when it comes to gaming at Masai Mara and other parks. He knows the terrain, can read animal behavior, and can anticipate the best position for viewing. I honestly feel like the driver either makes or breaks your safari tour, and I couldn't recommend Dennis highly enough!
Administratively and experientially, you get the best of both with Wildebeest Safaris. Planning your trip is hassle free and you're guaranteed to have a wild experience! We're already planning for our next safari with Dennis and bringing our family with us!
An Amazing Experience
My wife, daughter, and I had an amazing time on this Safari. Eustace was a most excellent guide. He kept us safe, was engaging, very communicative, and lots of fun. The truck we were in was very safe and have us great opportunity to see the animals and scenery. Highly recommend.

Good itinerary, affordable price, friendly guides
Communicated and booked via email. Paid for the safari and gorilla trekking by credit card. Communication from the team was good, but could be better instead of having us ping them to get greater details - they need to be more proactive (i had to remind them to send me final itinerary and all when the final payment was due for example - makes you a bit nervous when you are booking via email with an agency in a totally different country). Guides are excellent and friendly. We had Moses for the Gorilla trip (via their sister company in Uganda) and Denis for the Kenyan safaris. Both were great, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Still giving 5 stars because they delivered the services as agreed and price is good value.

Great experience in Masai Mara
We were a family of 4 adults on a Safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
Our guide, Andrew was excellent. He had great knowledge and hawk eyes to pick animals. We saw all the Big 5 multiple times each during the 3 days. Besides the regular sightings, we saw a family of 4 Cheetahs prowling, a pride of lions making a kill, a prowling leopard, a lion looking for food, a big family of 14 ostriches. We were lucky to see the tail end of the migration of wildebeests and zebras, which was running a littke delayed this year.
Andrew was very flexible and accommodating to all our requests and Noah did a great job for making all the admin arrangements. The drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara was very bumpy (no fault of Wildebeest) but Andrew managed it well.
Would recommend Wildebeest Safaris to anyone making a trip to Kenya.

Cats, cats, cats in Masai Mara
We spent a lovely weekend at Masai Mara with our driver/guide Dennis. We saw leopard eating a reedbuck, five cheetas with their tummys full, lions and even two amazing serval cats, not to mention the abundance of wildebeest and zebras. Our lodge (Mara Engai) was beyond this world. Thank you Wildebeest Safaris!

Amazing safari
We visited Kenya last September and the whole experience was great. Definitely "Wildebeest Safari" is the best option for you to book your trip, a few reasons are:
- Clear and quick responses to all our questions (via email, WhatsApp and phone - basically 24/7 availability)
- Flexibility. Even though they give very good options (schedules, hotels, locations, etc.), they will adjust to your needs without any complaint.
- Excellent customer service. We were treated extremely well by them, during the planning ´process (by Noah) and while we were there (our guides).
- Knowledgeable and polite guides. We were fortunate to have Andrew and Frank as our guides. Both were great! They know where to go, how to get close to the animals without disrupting them and they are very friendly and patient. Good photographers as well.
Our recommendation for you is to go on a private safari. It is more expensive, but we truly found it worth it.
