Amazing trip, worth every penny
We went on a trip with Wildebeest Safari's end of February this year and it was wonderful. They were very helpful answering all our questions up front and they totally understood what we wanted to see and do. They were very flexible in changing accommodation to our wishes and were also able to help us book flights to Arusha. Our guide was a very skilled driver and he knew a lot about wildlife, he knew where to find the animals and where to look for them. He also understood our wishes and took enough time for us to take photographs and enjoy all the parks to get the full experience, but he also understood when we had seen enough of something and wanted to continue. The jeeps are good, enough space, not the newest but I think that's part of the experience too, would not feel good to drive into the newest jeeps with leather in them as I would feel guilty standing on a chair or spilling drinks.
I was a bit worried to transfer a large amount of money but they are very trustworthy and everything was absolutely perfect. I think the price was good as well, we wanted a little more luxury so we made our trip a but more expensive but I really took an effort in comparing prices and Wildebeest was very well priced.
I would definitely recommend Wildebeest and I hope to book our next trip with them as well.
Tip: listen to their advice, they absolutely know best and they have a lot of experience. If they tell you not to go to a certain area in a certain time of the year then don't. Their only concern is to give you the best trip possible!

A wonderful experience in hand of professional
It was a good arrangement by a tour operator. The tour guide ( Dennis ) is remarkable both guide and drive. He took us to see all the big five so the operation accomplished.
The better price compared with the others.
Noah picked the right camps both in Naguru and Massai Mara.
Flamingo Hill Camp is wonderful.
Staff at Zebra Plain Camp at Massai Mara are helpful and friendly. Wild animal are easily seen at the site.

Great experience, helpful staff, amazing adventure - 11 nights Kenya, Tanzania
The contact person - Noah was very easy to communicate with, he responded right away and was very accommodating with our requests. Wildebeest booked us for 11 nights - 9 on the road and 2 in Nairobi on our arrival. Everything went as was stated on our itinerary. Lake Nakuru 1 night, Masai Mara 3 nights, into Tanzania and the Serengeti for 2 nights, Ngorongoro Crater for 1 night, Tarangire Park 1 night and the last night in Lake Amboseli back in Kenya. Andrew was our driver/guide in Kenya, we had booked for just the 2 of us with a guide, and was extremely knowledgeable, listened to what we wanted to see and made sure we were comfortable and safe. We saw so many animals, so many different types of animals, and birds. Andrew stayed at a sighting for as long as we wanted - especially the lion cubs playing in the tall grass, hard to see them but he was very patient and was able to explain to us so we could find them too. In Tanzania we had a different guide who was also very knowledgeable and made sure we saw what we were interested in. The driving can be quite long some days, and the roads bumpy but the seats were comfortable and the roof popped open so we had good views all around. We 'camped' and all the camps were very clean, had all of the amenities required - toilets, sinks, showers - although not all had hot water on demand - some had certain hours for hot water very understandable and one you merely asked and it was provided to your tent. The food was very good - we took boxed lunches on our drives every day and that worked out well for us instead of going back to the camps for lunch. Africa is so very beautiful, there was Wifi in the camps but other than to send photos back home it was easy to leave the rest of the world behind and just enjoy the scenery and people. Wildebeest also booked a trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) for us through another company (Pembury tours) which went very well as. The falls are incredible and so is Cape Town for the end of our trip.

Wonderful safari
We were travelling with our 3 children and wanted a tailor-made 4 night Safari in Tanzania's North. Noah answered very quick with a very good and professional offer. Therefore we booked neary a year in advance and were very much looking forward to it.
The guide (Hamza) was very kind and an experienced and safe driver. He had also a very good eye for the animals. The hotels were carefully selected. We very much liked the Ilkome Safari Lodge (great Serengeti-View & Wildbeest Migration next to the lodge / extremely kind Manager) and the Tloma Mountain Lodge (huge rooms; location & staff was excellent...)
The car was maybe a bit older, but comfortable. Over all it was a lifetime experience for us and our expectations were exceeded by far. Thanks Wildbeest Safaris!!!

Awesome
Perfect service, everything fine, excelent.
Eusty is the best! Í recomend this company. Spend at least 3 days in Mara and 2 in Amboseli.
We saw most of the animals in diferent situations. Radio communication so that helps to find animals.
Very happy. We will repeat, I am sure.

The best safari ever with our family in Kenya
We just returned from a kenya safari with my family (two children aged 12 and 9) with Wildebeest safaris and the experience has been fantastic for everyone. We have visited Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Naivasha and Masai Mara in 10 days and thanks to our guide Dennis and the entire team of Wildebeest safaris everything has gone perfect.
From the organization of the safari, Noah showed a quick response and ability to adjust to our wishes. The result has been a perfect tour, with high-level accommodations at a very reasonable cost Once the reservation was made, Samuel's support has been perfect for the last minute aspects, for instance the organization of the safari balloon in Mara.
During the safari everything wasperfect. Dennis has been a great driver and guide, always on timeand taking care of all the details to guarantee our satisfaction. In game drives, Dennis has a special gift for finding animals and for ensuring the best observation. As a result, we have observed up to 44 species of mammals, 213 of birds, with incredible observations of lions, leopards and cheetahs, as well as the rest of animals.
In short, a wonderful experience, with the best quality-price agency in Kenya. For me it is the fourth safari in East Africa, and it has undoubtedly been the best. Wildebeest safaris will always be the selected agency in our future visits to East Africa.

Quick response, hospitality and professonal operation.
Quick and responsive communication for inquiry and booking was comfortable for the trip arrangeent.
Service starting from airport pick up, transportation, safari was good as expected but the safari car was rather old and more complete car maintenance should be secured. Safari tour itself was quite enjoyable and exciting but it depends upon the experience and the capability of the driver. As many safari tour companies are competing in the same market with similar services, it seems difficult to differenciate with others.
How Wildebeest Safari can maintain the good driver guides will be important to maintain the service quiality.

Wonderful experience in the Mara.
My son joined me for this tour of Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Wildebeest tours put it together for us. We could not have been happier. All the arrangements were first class and better than our expectations. The staffs at the two camps, Flamingo Hills Camp and Loyk Mara Camp were outstanding. They were so friendly and helpful. Many thanks to our guide Timothy who made sure our visit was meaningful.
I would gladly recommend Wildebeest Tours to others planning a trip to Kenya.
