Well organized, once a lifetime experience
We made a individual 7 day safari and spent two nights in Amboseli, one night in Lake Nakuru and three nights in Masai Mara.
During booking process Noah usually answered very quick and made all the reservations for us (including our self chosen accommodation)
The whole safari was just amazing and a once a lifetime experience. Our driver and guide Dennis always did his best job to spot the animals and get us in the perfect position to make some awesome pictures. If there was something going on, he could drive like a formula 1 pilot, but we still felt safe every time. Each game drive was something special and we could tell him our wishes and thoughts. In the end we saw all the animals, we just missed a black rhino, which is hard to spot. On the other side there were lions, cheetahs, a beautiful leopard and many many more.
So there was actually nothing to complain about. Sometimes dennis got a lot of phone calls, but this seems to be normal in Kenya.
We would definitely recommend this tour again. Just wow!

Amazing african safari experience
My wife and I visited Kenya for a 8 day trip in November and stayed at Zebra Plains mara camp (3N), Flamingo hill tented camp (1N), Kibo Safari Camp (2N) & Panari hotel Nairobi (1N). We opted for a private safari in a 4x4 land cruiser. Noah was excellent to work with right from the start. He was prompt in his communication (email, whatsapp, phone calls), transparent and professional. The itinerary was complete with pictures of accommodation and vehicle included.
When I informed him of my early morning return flight and requested to end the safari at Amboseli NP with a half day game drive followed by transfer to Nairobi, he promptly reversed the itinerary and also added a complimentary one night stay along with airport transfer for us. Some of the other tour operators I was considering were not as flexible even though I was booking a private tour. To book the trip I paid a 10% deposit via an online portal and the remainder was settled after I arrived in Nairobi. Our guide Dennis was awesome, he strived to ensure that we saw the Big 5 and had amazing interactions. He was excellent at spotting animals and positioning the vehicle to give us the best viewing angles as well as light for good pictures. I appreciated how knowledgeable he was about the animals and their behaviors. During our 2 full day game drives in the Mara, Dennis would search for a good shaded spot and setup a table & chairs for us to have lunch. The vehicle was comfortable and had power supply to charge our phones and camera. Our camps had clean, spacious rooms, delicious meals and friendly staff. I'd give the picnic lunches provided for full day game drives an 'A' for effort but a 'B' for taste. The chicken in the picnic lunches would be very dry and chewy, but the spread at the camp more than made up for it. The rooms and common areas at Zebra Plains & Kibo Amboseli are more modern and newer. I'd stay at these camps again. Zebra Plains has a watering hole right outside their camp where a couple of water buffalos and zebras always hang out. On two evenings we saw a large herd of giraffes walk by as the sun set. We could see them from our room as well as the dining area. Flamingo hill seemed a bit older and the tent was smaller, dimly lit compared to the other two, but overall it was good for a 1 night stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and I'd book with Wildebeest Safaris for my future trips.

Amazing safari experience with zero complaints
Booked a 3 day, 2 night safari at Maasai Mara with Wildebeest and ended up making it a 4 day, 3 night trip. We were picked up early by our driver and guide, Jeff, from Nairobi. After a stop at the Great Rift overlook and a few roadside souvenir shops, we made it to Mara Kimana camp just after lunchtime. Spent two hours checking in and eating lunch before going out for an afternoon/evening drive. We had booked for the private drives and the Land Cruiser was plenty big for our family of four. Jeff knew where to go to see animals and the other drivers did not hesitate to share information about sightings. After the first 3 hour drive, we'd already seen more than we anticipated. The second day was a full day drive which ended up being a bit too much for our 4 and 8 year old children but was amazing nonetheless. Jeff was ready to go early and took us to different parts of the park each drive. Even when we had periods of no animal sightings, the natural beauty never had us bored. The third day we split the drives to morning and afternoon sessions so the kids could relax at the camp for lunch which was a good decision. On the fourth day we were driven back to Nairobi for our flight home. Overall, this trip was one of the most memorable we've taken and it was chiefly due to Jeff and Mara Kimana Camp. If we ever get to go back to Kenya, we'll endeavor to book both of them again. Cannot recommend Wildebeest highly enough.

Exceptional safari experience
We had a wonderful safari experience though Wildebeest. The booking process was easy, directly with Wildebeest and Noah was always quick to respond to any email queries.
We had a four day/three night Masai Mara/Lake Nukuru package which included stays in fabulous camp lodges (Zebra Plains and Flamingo Hill). Our guide/driver was Titus and he was excellent and very professional with vast knowledge about the animals and their habitats. Titus worked very hard to ensure that we managed to see the big five plus so much more.
We also booked a car and diver though wildebeest for a separate private trip and again our driver Michael was excellent and professional too. We would highly recommend Wildebeest Safaris

Unforgettable Experience
I loved my trip to the masai mara. It was lively experience and my driver Titus made it very memorable. An experience to be remembered. I’d recommend Wildebeest safaris anytime, I’m planning to go back to Kenya and do another trip to Amboseli with them. It was magical, kudos Wildebeest safaris.

We had an incredible safari experience
Our tour guide Titus helped us have the very best safari experience. My wife and I wanted to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary in a special way and I’m glad that we did. Everything was perfect, from our initial pickup from Titus who was incredibly kind and patient. He also conducted our game drives and was incredibly knowledgeable. We saw all the animals we wanted to see. Our lodging at Zebra Plains Mara Camp was lovely as well. I would recommend booking with Wildebeest Safaris for anyone.

Our guide, Dennis is the perfect person you should choose for the safari. He has the most awesome sights so he can seize every chance to find the animals from miles away! The driving is nice and the views are wonderful! Highly recommend Dennis because he is so responsive and friendly!

Great Safari with a great guide - wonderful experience that will last a lifetime!
I have done a number of safaris before (Tanzania, Kenya, S.Africa) and all have been great including this one. We did 5 night safari taking in Lake Manyara, 2 days in Serengetti Ngorongoro & Tarangire. We had some great sightings - more lions than I've seen before (including tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara), fantastic leopard, cheetah, rhino plus loads of other game. Our guide, Hamza was fantastic. he was very friendly, patient and always accomodating to our needs which was a big part of why we had such a good experience. Value for money, we went for a mid-range package and on paper most seemed similar pricing for similar packages, however when booking, Noah was very helpful letting us expand/tailor our itinerary to include airport transfers and an extra day in Arusha.
