Excellent services, exciting experience
5/5

The service of wildebeest is amazing. During the itinerary discussion phase, Noah provided transparent price breakdown which helped a lot for my decision on itinerary. During our visit in Masai Mara, our driver / guide Joseph stayed with us for three days close to Mara river and we captured four times wildebeest river crossing. His experiences really helped a lot. Everything goes so smoothly during our trip in Kenya and Tanzania. This company operates both Kenya and Tanzania themselves, so the transition on the border also goes very well.

The review below is the personal opinion of Kevin and not that of SafariBookings.
They tell a better story than they can consistently deliver.
3/5

We did two safari's with Wildebeest. Masai Mara was awesome with a great guide (Andrew), vehicle and accommodations. The second one a few days later had likely their worst vehicle (doors and windows that were hard to open and dirty inside) and a guide that really did not seem to know or was unwilling to share much about Amboseli - including getting some of the animals wrong. They had many excuses (other vehicle broke down, busy time of year, no previous complaints for that guide, etc.). At least the accommodations were good. So be careful when you book with Wildebeest - you simply don't get consistent quality.

Amazing experience
5/5

From the beginning until the end of our trip, Wildebeest provided us with an amazing experience.

First, Noah was very helpful and clear in setting up our trip and working with us to make the best arrangements.
Then, our guide, Eustace, stayed with us the entire trip and we enjoyed so much having him with us. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and made sure we had a great time.

The hotels, transportation, food, etc. Everything was great about this trip! 10/10

Experience of a lifetime :)
5/5

Went for a 3 days 2 nights safari arranged by Wildebeest Safaris. Was an amazing experience! There are no words to express how beautiful and enriching going to the Maasai Mara is. Our guide James was superb and helped us see many many animals including a cheetah chase and kill a gazelle.

The trip was very well organized by Wildebeest Safaris, thanks to Noah. He answered all my questions patiently and helped me figure out the best options. Everything was taken care of - from the travel to and from the Mara, accommodation (at Ol Moran Tented camp which was amazing as well), all the game drives and meals as well.

Big thanks to Noah and Wildebeest Safaris!

Wildebeest Safaris made my dream come true!
5/5

Noah Kuti and his staff made this one of the most memorable trips I've taken in my entire life and I travel quite a bit. From first contact with Wildebeest Safaris I knew I made the right choice. Although I contacted other safari companies I came full circle and booked with Wildebeest. Noah was a pleasure to work with and promptly answered all of my questions. This vacation was not typical for me since I was not booking my own hotels or activities and being a control freak I wasn't sure how it was going to turn it. I was blown away with the organization of the tour, the friendliness and knowledge of the guides (Eusty in Kenya, Enock in Tanzania & Andrew in Nairobi) and the quality of all the lodges/campsites we stayed at. The safari itself was amazing but the people in our tour group and the Wildebeest employees made it even better. I enjoyed myself with Wildebeest so much that I am already planning on using them for my next booking to Uganda!!!

I felt very close to my driver, Dennis, who drove this fantastic car and showed me all these great animals. Thank you, Dennis, I’ll never forget my safari and you!

Exceptional safari experience!
5/5

We had passed a very fantastic time during a 9-day safari. Everything went very well and was organised very perfectly. We were picked up from the airport and then had a private driver (Dennis) taking care of us all the way. We never felt insecure – a point that was very important for us as we travelled with two children. Dennis was driving us to all places where we were able to see fantastic fauna and flora. The lodges wildebeest safari choose were very nice – even though we had a flight cancellation and they had to adapt very quickly our program. Thank you, Josiah, for that!
We would definitively recommend this safari organiser! Thank you so much.

Well planned and executed
5/5

We did a private 10 day safari covering Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Amboseli and have returned incredibly pleased with the whole experience. Noah was prompt, patient, painstaking and transparent during the planning stage ensuring that the safari was tailored to our requirements and our budget. The execution was flawless, seamless and completely hassle free and all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the journey. The vehicles were clean and in good condition. Each accommodation was different, of high quality and very well located. The game viewing was varied and exciting. The guides, Dennis in Kenya & Hamza in Tanzania, were enthusiastic, patient, polite and had a good sense of humour which ensured that we had a most enjoyable time.

We wound up our safari eager to return. Soon, hopefully.

Our deep appreciation to the team at Wildebeest. Asante sana!

Doing a safari with a friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide makes all the difference!
4/5

The communications with Wildebeest Safaris LTD was mostly by email, which I appreciated. We were picked up from our hotel on time and delivered to the tour bus (both the hotel and tour pickup location were in Nairobi) that would take us to Maasai Mara about a 5 hour drive away. There were 2 people in our party and a total of 7 people on our 9 passenger bus. We were fortunate to have a friendly, chatty group of people on our bus. It's a loooong drive. The people we drove to Maasai Mara with were the same people we would end up spending the next 3 days with.

Our specific tour was for 12 year old guests and older. We were grateful to not have very young passengers on our bus for 3 days.

While on safari, our driver, Raheem, communicated by radio with the other drivers to be sure we saw the Big Five. If one tour group found a specific animal on the savanna, he would radio the other drivers so they could head right to that spot. We lucked out and saw the Big Five as well as so many other animals.

Raheem was attentive to our group and helpful in every way possible. I was not feeling well on our last day and he was concerned and sensitive to my issue. Fortunately, I was able to make it back to Nairobi without incident.

We were fortunate to have a group of people on our bus that all spoke English and were friendly. There were other tour groups that just didn't seem to be having as much fun as we were. I feel like I've made friends for a lifetime.
