The bare minimum in both the company and the driver!!!!
Well emails were essentially good in the beginning we had conflicting prices attempting to recharge us for something we've already paid for. Having to walk two blocks at 11:30 p.m. with all our luggage in downtown Nairobi only to be left by the driver another 20 minutes to go get the car. On the way to the safari he drove very slowly to get to our destination on the way back he speeded 15 miles over. No communication between the operator and the driver didn't know our agenda argued about it with us didn't know about meal prep didn't know much nor did he point it out to us. It was horrible didn't have water had to remind him about it. He was more of a glorified cab driver than a guide. Choose someone else for Safari so you're not stressed out on your trip because of the owner and the driver.

Posted on Mar 28, 2023Dear Kristin,
Thank you for your feedback. We worked on our communication between the office and the guides on the field and also replaced this particular guide with more skilled driver/guide.
Kind Regards,

Custom 5 day Kenyan safari for honeymoon was unbelievable!
Noah was our point of contact for setting up the trip and he was very helpful in putting together a custom 5 day safari that worked with our other travel plans and maximized time spent in the areas we were most interested in (Amboseli, Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru) and included the sunrise hot air balloon ride - a must do!
Our driver Dennis was great and found all of the Big 5 including 2 black rhinos and 2 leopards which are the hardest to find. Dennis took very good care of my wife and I, was flexible with game drives and provided a lot of interesting facts about Kenya, the animals, the Maasai tribes and even helped us learn a little Swahili!
I would highly recommend Wildebeest Safari's and will use them again the next time I go on safari in Africa.

Kenya and Tanzania
We had a great time with Wildebeest in july, in a 8 days private tour safari between Kenya and Tanzania. The camps we slept were great and the landscapes were amazing. We saw the big 5 more than once. Our only complains are that one time we had to stop on the road for 2 hours because we were supposed to change drivers and the next one was late; and the lack of care of the Masai Mara driver with our luggages - they got ruined because he didnt use blankets to protect it.

Look For Somewhere Else !!!!!!!!!
When my flight arrived at 10:30am driver wasn't there I waited 2 hours for him to arrive. And the driver wasn't my actual tour guide he is a tour guide for another group. His excuse for arriving late that his car was damaged, but in the end I found out he was lying and my actual tour guide made a deal with this other tour guide (Who will pick another group that I don't know) to go to the airport to pick me up because I was solo. And because of that he arrived late cause the other group's flight arrival is at 1:00pm. My trip plan is private tour which means driver must to pick me up alone without other group!!!!!!!!!!! And to top all that the car was in super bad condition. To sum up this company is a so unorganized, very old vehicles, don't care about customer satisfaction, and do whatever they want to do without even asking beforehand if I agree or not. Please avoid so that you will not end up with similar experience or even worse.

Posted on Mar 28, 2023Dear Ahmad,
Thank you for your feedback. Ever since we have replaced old vehicles with new ones. Furthermore improved communication skills with clients between the office and driver/guide to avoid such scenarios.
Kind Regards,
Noah
After some initial confusion with pick up the whole trip was very professionally conducted
This was our first safari experience and we loved it. Jeffrey our guide and leader of the group was always finding ways to enhance our experience. The drives were exciting and excellent. Quite late in the evening he organised our balloon safari for the morning. We would highly recommend this if it fits the budget ($450 pp). Our guides and staff at the lodges were very friendly.
The only negative was the initial pick up which could have been better coordinated and enhanced our experience at lake Nakuru. But in nature holidays these things happen. So overall very good.

We went to Kenya on safari and Wildebeest was great to work with and the trip was a success.
We really thought the services were first-rate. Dennis, our tour guide, was very accommodating and we had a great time on safari with him. It was apparent that he really wanted us to experience the best of gaming and we saw the big five as well as other species that were magnificent to see. We had a couple of requests and Dennis was able to assist us while ensuring we stayed on schedule. We will use Wildebeest on our next trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

Beautiful experience with very knowledgable guides
All areas fo the tour were great. The accomodation was all fabulous. The guides knew everything about every animal and spoke very good english. I would recommend Wildebeest to anyone going on safari.

Fantastic Safari
My family had looked forward to the safari for months. Noah had been very easy to communicate with and responded to emails promptly. Our guide/driver was Eustace. He knew the country and all of the parks that we visited like the back of his hand. He was on a mission to help us located as many animals as possible. We saw 2 male lions, another family of 3 mother lions and 5 cubs, Cape buffalo, cheetahs, zebra, impala, many elephants, rhinos, hippos, about one million wildebeest, and much more. Do the optional hot air balloon ride if at all possible. I would not hesitate to take another safari with Wildebeest safaris!

Exceptional and the best ever
We had a 7 day safari with Wildbeest Safari's. Everything was organised with care and dedication into the smallest detail. We truly enjoyed Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha. We didn't have to worry about thing. Geoffrey, our guide, took care of everything with a big smile. He followed up to our smallest wishes. But he is also an experienced game spotter. We saw the wild life to the fullest extend. This was really a 100 % success thanks to the management of Wildebeest Safari's and Geoffrey. If you in doubt of which safari company to use, you can't go wrong with Wildebeest Safari's.

A delightful experience and a wonderful safari vacation
We had a 8 day safari with Wildebeest Safari LTD. Noah was very fast in communicating with us in case of questions we had and the trip went smoothly and pleasantly with three wonderful drivers/guides In Kenya and Tanzania. We were a group of 8 first time visitor to East Africa. We did very little home work on individual sites on the itinerary due to hectic work schedule before the trip. But surely we were in good hands with Noah's team, Andrew, Ayubu and Denise. The team is very professional, knowledgeable and fun to speak with. Every day was a wonderful srurpise for us with nice accommodation and great service staff, in addition to the incredible safari experience. We saw every action we wanted to see with extra bonuses: Lion's hunting/killing of Wildebeest and Gezelle; Cheetahs hunting Wildebeest and hidden Cheetah on the grass; Leopard enjoying Gezzelle with Hyenas waiting for meat dropping; wild dogs attempting to attack Wildebeest/ Zibra; big 5 and others - many of them. Finally we were so lucky to see the beautiful Kilimanjaro. We appreciate so much the peace and ease along the trip and the true experience of Hakuna Matata.
