Amazing Kenya and Tanzania Experience
We had a fantastic time with Wildebeest Safaris. We worked with Noah for months planning our 8 day Kenya and Tanzania safari and everything turned out excellent.
Both of our guides, Simon in Kenya, and Hamza in Tanzania, were excellent and very knowledgeable. Each day was filled with something new and exciting. We saw lions and cheetahs hunting, did a boat cruise with the hippos, and spent a lot of time in the Serengeti and Masai Mara getting up close to the animals.
The places we stayed were also excellent. Every place was very close to the animals, but they were all very safe.
We would highly recommend Wildebeest Safaris to anyone looking to go on a safari, especially the Kenya + Tanzania tour, just so you can experience both cultures and wildlife parks.
Very good driver/guide, but we were badly misled about the accommodations.
Booked 3 day Masai Mara months in advance with Noah. Promised accommodation at Lenchada Camp (which is great, by the way). On the way there, our driver/guide, Alex , was searching all over for another camp (Eco Destination or something) that not even the locals had heard of. Apparently, without telling us, Noah had changed the booking to that place. When we finally found it (after an hour and a half of searching), we discovered that it had really limited facilities and was not very clean. When we finally got Noah on the phone, he told us he had made the change because the Lenchada Camp was full. As I say, we had booked months in advance and, as it turned out, the Lenchada Camp was not full at all. By the time we got to Lenchada though, we were too late for the afternoon game drive that was part of our safari package. Happy ending: a great time in the Masai Mara with Alex who took us out for almost 12 hours the next day to make up for the screw-up the previous day. Saw lots and lots of animals.

Fabulous
We planned the safari with Noah 10 months ago and they knew to propose the best possible option with the best possible price. The accommodations are all of the highest category and planning the safari exemplary. We had a Spanish speaking guide, Godwin who was along with Ezekiel the driver a wonderful couple who accompanied us on a trip we will never forget.

Wonderful experience
My family went on a 7 day safari including visits to Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Ol Pejeta, and the Masai Mara. It was an incredible experience. Booking the tour went smoothly and Noah answered all questions promptly and helped us make decisions, so that we felt confident and comfortable with our decisions. Everything in the tour was exactly what was promised and went above our expectations.
We were picked up in Nairobi and received a warm greeting. We cannot say enough great things about our tour guide Eustace. He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and experienced. We felt we were in safe hands the entire trip. Eustace knew where to take us in order to see wildlife, and shared so much information about the reserves, the wildlife, and Kenya in general. In Samburu alone, we saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and even a leopard. In the Masai Mara, we were able to witness a Mara River wildebeest crossing, something I've dreamed about seeing for years! The lodges we stayed at were beautiful and the service was wonderful.
To sum it up, if I went on a safari again (which I know I will), I wouldn't even consider picking a different tour operator. This was the trip of a lifetime, made possible by Wildebeest Safaris, Noah, and of course, Eustace! Thank you all so much, from the bottom of our Texas hearts :)

Very well organized 10 days safari in Kenya+Tanzania
Our family of 2 adults and 3 kids (11-16 years old) did 10 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania. It was the first time in Africa for us and we were a bit anxious before the trip.
Preparation with Noah Kuti and reservation went very smoothly. On arrival we were met and transferred to a hotel. Next morning we were picked on time and started 10 days tour to lake naivahsa/ masai mara /serengeti /ngorongoro /tarangeri /amboseli national parks. The lake navasha probably could be skipped or replaced by the lake bogoria as flamingos have left it.
Our guides were Michel/Hamza/Rashid. All were very responsive, friendly and with a 6th sense to spot animals. Cars were well equipped and spacious - had enough space for us and for our luggage. We saw a big five - elephant, black rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard - from a very close and many other animals including a cheetah and a python. We saw wildebeest crossing mara river. Hippos, wildebeests and crocodiles - everything was there; like on TV :)
Days were very intensive from 7:00/8:00 in the morning to 18:00 in the afternoon. We did many options: boat trip in lake nakuru, visited masai village (which was a very special experience on itself), visited ngorongoro farm house / coffee plantation (please ask for a guide - Babadingi), night safari.
Kids got tired to the second half of safari, but it was worth.
Everything was perfectly organized by the company and 100% delivered.
Definitively recommend.

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.

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.
