An amazing guide, well organised safari!
From the 1st contact, Noah, a sale representative from Wilderbeest Safaris, was very fast at replying and efficient. He organised a 4 days safari around Arusha following my comments and criteria.
He was always very fast at replying to any of my questions and organised everything very smoothly from start to finish! We were very impressed and highly recommend them.
We were lucky to get Max as our driver/ guide and it was perfect!
Max is a knowledgeable guide, smart, kind, funny and discreet. We really liked the whole experience and saw so many wild animals!! All of them really except the Rhino and Leopard but that was a long shot anyway.
In regards to the hotels, depending on your budget, I stoingly recomment you stay at the Neptune Ngorongoro!! This was a magical experience, amazing service, everything all inclusive, very spacious cottages with chimneys!! A real dream and I wish we stayed longer there!
The 2nd night was at a hotel inside the Ngorongoro national park, the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge and that was a very disappointing experience. If we had known we would have asked to stay at the Neptune again as it is just at the entrance of the park and on the way to Lake Manyara.
We also visited the Lake Manyara park, lots of girafes and elephants! And the Tarangire park where we saw more elephant, Girafes, lions, Zebras and all the others!!
Thanks again Wilderbeest for organising a great trip for us, we loved it and will recommend you to our friends and family!

Amazing Time in Kenya
It was a really nice experience!!
We stayed 3 days in Kenya and we went to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
Lake Nakuru is nice, but after Masai Mara..a bit disappointing! I guess it's nice if you have plenty of time, and you can visit both.. or very short time and prefer something closer to Nairobi.
Masai Mara is simply beautiful!
U see at most 6 cars in the game.. and it's amazingly natural.
If you only have 3 days, stay only in Masai Mara!
Special thanks to our guide, Dennis.. he was 5***** and he promised that we'd see all the big 5, and we did!
Take a look at the video I did:

Excellent Safari
We chose a 10 day safari which went to Kenya and Tanzania. The whole safari went smoothly apart from a delay at the Tanzanian Border as the Tanzanian Driver had a problem with his vehicle. This meant we were very late getting to the Serengeti, but other than that it all went according to plan. We saw lots of animals. Email communication was good from Noah, and the service of the guides. All in all this met our expectation, and I would recommend this company.

“Had great time...highly recommended.”
It was a well organized trip covering 3 National Parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara) in a week.. Credits goes to Mr. Noah Kuti who have organized everything perfectly.. It is very hard to find tour operators like Mr Kuti who will patiently answer all your questions and arrive on time for your trip.. Package price found to be the best compared to other companies providing Land Cruiser for safari.. He took his sincere efforts for providing us the best accommodations in all the parks and also arranged the hot air balloon ride thru Masai Mara, which was really a lifetime experience.. I also thank Mr. Elinjo, our driver cum guide who was very friendly and enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable about parks and the characteristics of all animals & birds.. As a traveler, I strongly recommend others to utilize Wildebeest Safari's services as they are flexible for our different needs & professional at their services. Once again, I thank Wildebeest for providing us such a beautiful trip..

Amazing, worthwhile experience overall!
My safari trip far exceeded my expectations. I went alone and the Wildebeest staff and my tour guide tailored the entire 3-day itinerary in Masai Mara to my preferences and were very hospitable. The accommodations were wonderful - a luxury tent with great facilities. I highly recommend the Wildebeest Safari if you are looking for a personalized and adventurous safari experience.

Amazing guides, a couple hiccups with the booking
We did an 8-day, 7-night safari through the Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. It was an amazing trip, and our guides, Eustace (in Kenya) and Abu (in Tanzania) were incredibly knowledgeable. They also were obviously passionate about the wildlife. When your guide is as excited about the trip as you are, it makes a big difference, I promise.
There were a couple of issues with the booking, however. Before finalizing our booking, we added one extra night at the beginning so we could stay at the Giraffe Manor outside Nairobi. We received the revised itinerary, paid, and received confirmation. But when our guide arrived, we went to the hotel only to learn that the company had booked the wrong itinerary and the Giraffe Manor was completely full that night. We had to scramble to figure out an alternative plan, and in the end decided to start the safari a day early. Noah, the owner, refunded the price difference for the alternative accommodations, which I thought was a fair solution, but we were still disappointed (when else will we be in Nairobi to return to this legendary hotel?). Then, on our last night, we arrived at our hotel in Ngorongoro and tried unsuccessfully to check in. Wildebeest had accidentally booked us (and paid) for a hotel on the other side of the crater, an hour drive away. We called Noah to tell him we weren't leaving, and he eventually fixed the reservations (thankfully, that hotel had vacant rooms), but the process still took over an hour with us sitting is suspense in the lobby.
I give them credit for working to correct their mistakes, but when you pay so much money, you want to avoid mistakes like that altogether. I would still recommend Wildebeest--their guides cannot be beat and we had an amazing time--but you should really call each of your accommodations before you leave home to make sure they are expecting you.

excellent
We booked a 10 day safari with Wildebeest Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. Noah (the company owner) was always prompt about returning emails, staying in contact and answering all the questions we could have.
He was also very nice and helped us in managing one suitcase missed at the airport although it was not part of the Safari.
Noah was also in daily contact with our guides to ensure everything was ok and we were fine.
We have had a wonderful time visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Amboseli. Because we traveled across the border from Kenya to Tanzania and back, it was necessary to have 3 different guides (Dennis (Kenya), Wilson (Tanzania) and Anthony (Kenya)). They were very polite, pleasant, helpful, patient and knowledgeable and looked carefully for all type of animals we could find in each reservation. We were able to see everything we came for and so much more (wildebeest, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, many kinds of birds, including pelicans, flamingos, many families of baboons, blue monkey, etc. as well as the Big 5: elephants, leopards, lions, buffalos and rhinos).
Our first guide, Dennis, was an excellent driver. He tried his best in searching for things for us to see. In lake Naivasha, at one point he was driving like crazy in order to get us to the spot to see rhinos (in fact, it was the only place we saw them). He also tried really hard in searching for cheetahs, lions and leopards in Masai Mara – and he was successful! He also did not complain for us making him stop to take photos. He worked with the rangers and other guides via cell phone and radio to find out where the animals were that we wanted to see.
Our next guide, Wilson, was a very professional guide and a careful driver and fulfilled all our requests. He provided a lot of interesting information not only about the animals, but about the people, etc. He was a caring and responsible person. He was also very patient and waited with no complaint when we asked to do so in order to take photos. (even if that meant to arrive at the tented camp at dark). He knew when to wait for the action and where to look for the animals. He also communicated with rangers to find out animals.
Our third guide, Anthony, was okay even at the end at the airport. He helped us with collecting the missed suitcase in one terminal and dropped us off in the one our flight departure. On Safari, he was a bit in a hurry (we were in Amboseli only for one day), but looking for a good angle to take pictures. He also took us up to the Observation Hill in Amboseli.
The quality of the tented camps they booked was very, very high. Only, two of them, a little far from Reserves (Ngorongoro and Tarangire)
We booked pop-up roof safari land cruiser which was better vehicle when you compare with other ones. Only when we went to Amboseli, the vehicle was not the one we expected as it was a van, but as it was for the two of us, we had plenty of room (and it had also a pop-up roof)
We had some hesitation to book this trip from an agency far away, but everything resulted very good. "Wildebeest Safaris" is a very good company and I would recommend Wildebeest Safari to anyone

Amazing first Safari
They arranged a safari 7 days: Samburu, Naibasha and Masai Mara . Everything was perfect and recommendations of times at each site and accommodations were very successful. Denis, our guide, was great; friendly, professional and attentive to our needs at all times (ah !! and a great driver ... must be taken into account with some roads in Kenya). Thanks to him, we could see all kinds of animals at each place. Accommodations perfect as recommended by Noah. At least offered alternative and not the same as other companies accommodation. they all perfect exceeded our expectations in terms of facilities and location for the park.
From our point of view, highly recommended safaris with this company.
