Responsible and professional
The agency is very professional and willing to satisfy the client’s requests.
The tour guide Filbert went the extra mile several times to ensure we were having the best experience and was very knowledgeable on fauna and flora.
Overall the experience was very professional and well planned except for one detail while booking the entrance to the Serengeti that made us loose almost half a day of the overall tour, that could have been resolved if the booking was done by head office instead of the tour guide on field. In any case, the tour guide helped adjusting the tour to ensure that we get the best experience posible and trying to recover the lost time.

Incredible safari with outstanding guides, amazing animals, and beautiful lodges
We just recently returned from a 12 day safari to Kenya and Tanzania. We booked through a company based in Tanzania and our time in Kenya was contracted out to Wildebeest Safaris. We were met at the airport by Mark, who was incredibly friendly and he took us to our hotel. The next day we met Rasheed. He took us to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Giraffe Center. He was super patient with us as we stayed longer than most vistors. Rasheed also gave us a great recommendation for lunch that was just perfect for our group.
The next day we met Frank, our tour guide for Amboseli, Maasai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. Frank is extremely knowledgeable about the animals, was kind, courteous, and professional, as well as funny and conversational. He was also extremely patient with us, as we could not get enough pictures and videos of any of the animals that we saw. He kept in contact with other guides so that he would be able to show us as many animals as possible. He picked up quickly what our group was interested in seeing and tried to make sure we saw those animals. He knew the parks inside and out and was able to give us recommendations for picnic spots, the best locations for pictures, and restroom locations. He was conscious of the roads as well and tried to make the ride as comfortable as possible. We could not have been happier with Frank as our guide!
The lodges where we stayed were also wonderful. The staff at the locations were extremely friendly, outgoing, and courteous. We enjoyed our conversations with them and the beautiful views. The food was also very good.
Overall, we could not have been happier with our safari experience with Wildebeest Safaris. We had an absolutely amazing vacation due to their staff members. Incredible people! Thank you so much!

Amazing weekend trip to Amboseli
Two friends of mine and I went to Amboseli National park with wildebeest safaris and it was an amazing experience. Noah and his team are great and ensured that our trip was perfect. They responded immediately whenever we had any questions and Paul, our guide, was very knowledgeable, accommodating and fun. I’ll definitely book my next tour with them as well and can highly recommend them.

Magical first safari
I recently booked a very last minute private safari with Wildebeest following a work trip to Nairobi. Noah was extremely helpful from the outset, providing a customized itinerary on short notice and allowing me to pay via a bank transfer rather than in cash even though I only booke a day out (meaning the cash only arrived after I was 2 days into the trip). The camps booked by Wildebeest were absolutely stunning, excellent food and service, and very reasonably priced compared to all the other quotes I received.
The safari itself was everything I had hoped for. I did the 3 night/four day trip to Lake Nakaru and the Masai Mara both of which were incredible. My driver Jeff was a total gem. Very friendly, happy to adjust the itinerary to whatever times I wanted to leave/return from game drives, make extra stops along the way, and also spent four days patiently responding to all of my questions about which animals eat which.
If booking with Wildebeest I highlight recommend requesting Jeff. I'm a 30 woman who travelled solo and felt totally at ease the whole time and really enjoyed his company.
Thanks again to Wildebeest for a magical first Safari!

Breathtaking safari
From the pick up at the Nairobi airport until the return there, it was a well planned tour. Our driver guide Geoff was a fantastic man who was exceptional in his jungle driving and reaching the wild animals. I had a little fear when the first lion group surrounded the land cruiser but for Geoff it was only a routine, safe moment. The lodging was also a more comfortable and safe place with protection of massai warriors. The hotel staff was also very friendly and keen on their work. I can happily say that I got the best wild safari experience.

Safari Top . Guide Hamza Fantastic !
We did the 5 DAYS MAJESTIC TANZANIA.
Lake Manyara National Park 1 day
Central Serengeti 2 days
Ngorongoro Crater 1 Day
Every park visited was wonderful. Our Guide Hamza was of incredible courtesy and professionalism.
Hamza's fantastic view allowed us to see and photograph all kinds of animals (my wife kept taking pictures and Hazma's patience was exaggerated).
The lodges chosen were all excellent
Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge
Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge
Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
Recommended for everyone.
Many thanks

Warm and Friendly Team - Hamza was great!
My wife and I did a private tour safari with Wildebeest in Tanzania.
We had a FANTASTIC time and I recommend safari on the bucket list for anyone that's never been.
We had a good strong car, it was reasonably comfortable and it gave no trouble during the trip. Hamza our driver was very warm and friendly and we felt looked after from pick up to drop off.
We had fantastic experiences getting right up close to the animals and Hamza's experience here was invaluable. He was chatty and friendly but could tell when we were tired so didn't chat us to death after our long journey from London. He had a great eye for animals and spotted so much but could also sense when there was something about to happen and patience was required e.g. lions about to hunt, an elephant about to cross the road. There were times where people waited and he could tell they were done trying to hunt and recommend we move on but also times where he advised to wait it out and almost every other car had given up and we'd see a spectacular occurrence e.g. we saw 12 lions attack a huge buffalo, or cheetahs on the hunt. It was amazing and the insight he brought was really incredible.
I want to be realistic about this review and particularly say it's not like our trip was without hiccups because when visiting the wilderness that's just unrealistic. Our first hotel didn't have our booking and had to remind about being vegetarian after arriving but going to visit Africa the team are juggling lots of unexpected factors and they were very professional and apologetic about anything that didn't go fully to plan. They tended to any issues we had and resolved them as quick as possible and the reality was we didn't really have to worry about a thing because they took care of everything. Coming from the UK being able to make the entire payment by credit card was important to us for security and they were happy with that approach. Some companies really push and insist on cash payments and this extra security really helped. I think if you have an appreciation of everything they are juggling they really do a phenomenal job.
We'd thoroughly recommend Noah and his team and particularly if you're going to Tanzania ask for Hamza, he was fantastic!

The safari of a lifetime!
We had the most amazing safari experience. Our guides Abubakar Chotara and Ibrahim Swalehe were experts on everything from the animals, to the roads, to the driving, to the people. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had their experience in choosing the parks we visited and the timing of the excursions each day - we literally saw thousands of animals!!! We were so close to a lion sleeping in a tree that we could have reached out of the truck and pulled his tail! I highly recommend this "6 Day Adventure Tanzania" safari which covered Tarangire park, Serengeti park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara park.
