Excellent Guide
we are a group of 7 travelers from Malaysia. We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day 2 night Masai Mara trip. Noah has been very professional and responsive. Our guide Joseph was very helpful. It was an unforgettable trip. Thanks Wildeebest!

Excellent memirues
I have just returned feom Kenya aftrr a week long of adventure. I Booked online with Wildbeast safaris. Most discussions happened over email or whatsapp. Noah is very flexible and accomodated our needs, invludjng a last minute change of an extra night in Mara.
We were picked up by Tim who stayed with us for the week. He was our guide and driver. The lidges and vamps that Noah booked for us were amazjng qnd close to where all the action was. Tim took extra pain, time and efforts to show the nature. We saw everything including fresh kill, great migration, leopards, cheetah lionsnin different actives. Can't wait to go back.
Tips and advice: stay within the national park. Go for an early morning safari. Skip Lake Nakurubif you want to see pink Flamjngoes and go to Lake Bogoria. If gojbg to Tsavo East, must atay in Ashnil Aruba Lodge.
I strongly recommend Wildbeest safari.

It was a wonderful trip.
Eight of us, including big 4 kids, all Americans, unprepared, joint this company went to Africa. Many concerns, safety, scam, sickness, possible Kenya election violence, pocket picking, stealing, etc. It was all gone. Hakuna Matata, no worries. It was the smoothest trip we ever had. Above all, we saw everything we wanted to see, even more, Lion hunting, Cheetah hunting, Wildebeests river crossing, Masai village etc. The service and arrangement of this company were excellent. The first driver-guide Andrew, the guy in the picture, did very good job. Very knowledgeable on safari and Kenya, we had very good conversations. The Tanzania guide was very good, too. They were very dedicated to the job. We were very lucky to see all, include wild dogs. The camps were comfortable, the service was nice. Food were good based where we were, the coffee was 5 star+. The shower was good. It was worth for the money and a good life long experience. We did prepay by Paypal, and at the arrival, paid full to Noah, the boss, in cash. It took some time to count $100 new bills. We were worried he would get a gun-point-robbery (kidding). Well, Kenya is safer than what we thought, people are friendly. I highly recommend this company and their tours, and wish them all well. And wish you lucky to see all. We packed very light, only carry-on to enter Kenya. There are places and time to wash cloth. Wood crafts need to be check in when we back, pay lots of $$ on airport packing. You need yellow fever certificate.

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,
Noah

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.
