Fantastic experience, Incredible value
Our safari with Wildebeest Safaris exceeded our expectations. The variety of wildlife we were able to see on our 10 Day Kenya and Tanzania trip was astounding. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and worked hard to solve problems when they did arise. Considering what we paid for our trip versus what other tour operators quoted, I am shocked at the high quality of our experience. They even put us into a luxury resort for Valentines Day to our surprise. There is some room for improvement with the communication. Providing some additional pre-trip information would help, and we were twice left wondering where our driver was when he had vehicle troubles. These were minor troubles in comparison to an overall fantastic trip.

Our first safari - but not our last - amazing country, amazing widlife, fabulous guide!
We took advice from friends and booked a private tour. Wildebeest Safaris were fantastic from start to finish! We visited 4 parks, drove to each one - great way to see the real Kenya. Our guide Eustus was extremely knowledgeable about everything Kenyean and his love for his country and its wildlife was infectious. The accomodations were excellent and our vehicle had good and comfortable seats - it is worth paying the extra for a comfortable car - you spend many hours in those seats! Highly recommend this company on all levels.

Excellent experience with knowledgable guide!
We recently visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli with them on a private safari for two. The vehicle (landcruiser) and guide provided were excellent. Noah is so quick to respond and was so catering to every little query I had which was what first attracted me to hiring them. Our driver and guide Eustace was very experinced and a bag of fun! Ours was a very last minute trip inspite of which they booked decent places and made sure everything was perfect. i will definetely plan my next tour to east Africa with them!

Wonderful Experience
We decided to go on a private safari for our honey-moon and after looking around we decided to go with Wildebeest Safaris.
We were very happy with our choice and would surely do it again. In 6 days, we visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro and Tarangire just at the end of the dry season and had the opportunity to see literally thousands of animals (including all the big five). We stayed mostly in tented lodges, one night in tented camp and 1 in a resort in Ngoro-Ngoro (we definitely enjoyed more the night in tents/tented lodges than the proper resort..). Our guide, Hamza, was extremely helpful and flexible. He knows very well all the parks and animals' behaviour, so we were able to find a great variety of animals. We would surely recommend Wildebeest Safaris to anyone looking for a truly great experience. The company is not very big and when we decided to book we had a number of e-mails with Noah, who was quick in replying and gave us a variety of options to choose between. Really pleased with the company and the guide. Highly recommended!

Great way to explore Aftica
The preparation period was very smooth; all our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The tour went as planned, great accommodations, food and reliability. We did not need to worry about anything, including supply of water bottles. Our two guides, one in Kenya and one in Tanzania, were excellent drivers and took good care of us. They answered most of our multiple questions, but I wish they were telling us more on their own: about nature, places and local people. When I cam home and read some of the facts that were omitted, I wished I knew them when I was looking at those particular animals or plants or places.

excellent experience
This was our first safari and without doubt Wildebeest Safaris is instrumental in making this trip a big success. The accommodation was good and Dennis our tour guide took all the efforts to show us maximum wildlife. We found the rates of Wildebeest Safaris reasonable and our interaction with Noah very positive. we definitely recommend this safari operator to all. I am sure Noah will go an extra mile to accommodate customers requirement. Overall an excellent experience and excellent safari operator. Bon Voyage!!

One of the Best Experiences I Have Ever Had
This safari was affordable and more than lived up to mine and my wife's expectations. Every safari lodge stay was beautiful, every game drive was wonderful with *so many* animals to see, the people we met were friendly, the weather was perfect; it really was a beautiful experience. We had Dennis as our driver and he was extremely friendly, professional, very informative, easy to talk to, organized and on time -- and a heck of a good driver.
I would recommend this outfit to anyone as they operate like a well-oiled machine. When I first started planning the trip, I was in contact with Noah and he was also very professional and extremely prompt with responses and very helpful with getting things set up. Additionally, regardless of the areas visited, I felt safe in the company of my driver and felt he was looking out for our well-being.
Things you should be prepared for: long drives on lots of bumpy roads; lots of (sometimes very pushy) salesman at many of your stops; have lots of cash for the potential extras, which can be very worth it but can be heavy on the pocket-book, especially if you're not carrying a lot of cash; additionally, have cash for souvenirs because you'll be wanting to buy or talked into buying at least a few; bring at least two different ways (i.e. cards) to acquire cash in the event one of the bank ATMs eats your card [thanks Barclay's].

Wonderful Safari experience with an excellent guide and for a very reasonable price.
My wife and I cannot express enough how happy we were for choosing Wildebeest Safari for our honeymoon!! We struggled for a long time to find what we were looking for - an AUTHENTIC African experience, but yet with comfort; and professionalism… When you search online from the United States, all you get are consultants trying to sell you overpriced luxury so they get the most profit.
When we came across Noah from Wilderbeest, it all changed. He really understood what we were looking for, worked with us for a customized itinerary, and worked within an acceptable price range. We stayed in excellent lodges, had a private Safari car with an excellent guide who was able to spot all the Big 5 for us, and we were treated in both a friendly and professional manner at all times!!
Noah was also super flexible adjusting the cancellation rules (I could only confirm 60 days in advance due to my job), and we really appreciated that!
Our guide Dennis was just amazing. We asked specifically for him after reading an excellent review online, and it was the best decision. He was always absolutely on time, with the Safari car very well cleaned for us. He communicated with other guides to find the best animal sightings, and when we got to the sightings, was always proactive to get us the best position for pictures. He organized for a lunch picnics with full Safari table in the middle of the Masai Mara! He was super knowledgeable explaining about the various animals, and super patient with us!! We never felt rushed and could enjoy our sightings with full leisure!! And once Dennis realized I enjoyed ending the day with a cold beer and a sunset view, he would organize for a cooler with ice (believe me, in Africa that’s NOT just going to CVS and buying ice!!) and find the most amazing viewpoints for the sunsets!!
Dennis was also flexible, proposing and helping us make changes to the plan which were super smart (less time on Amboseli as we were elephanted out, more time for Nairobi national park). And he was a great company for my wife and I to share 10 days of our lives with fun stories and great camaraderie!!
In summary, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wildebeest Safari for your trip!!!
Enjoy and JAMBO JAMBO!!

Very knowledgeable and professional
I travelled with my family of 8 in the month of August. It was the best trip I’ve had till date thanks to Wildebeest Safaris, especially our contact person “Noah”, who was extremely helpful, available for contact for all queries at all times. Our guides/drivers James and Jeff, were very well versed in the game drive and were very polite.
Ours is a vegetarian Indian family, and our dietary needs were very well planned and communicated. I would totally recommend wildebeest safaris for making our trip a dream trip, if I have ever come back will definitely be contacting them.

Very helpful and cooperating- best choice we made
Trips in Africa definitely need well planning, but it becomes very easy when you have the right people with you. We were planning for African wildlife Safaris for a long time and luckily managed to be in Kenya and Tanzania trip to celebrate our 15th marriage anniversary and daughters 10th birthday as well While searching and taking quotes, Wildebeest Safaris LTD caught our eyes, and we were impressed with their vast opinions of customizations wide range of lodges offerings. So we started working with them and that probably the best decision we made about this trip. We worked with Noah and from there he took care of everything, all the bookings were done in top notch camps, they provided very nicely maintained Safari vehicles, food options and hospitality in from their side as well as in all the camps were awesome, we felt like very much welcomed. I also had some issues with my cash, and Noah immediately helped me with cash from his account, which I was able to transfer him after a couple of days. In a foreign country, this type of friendliness is rare to find. In each and every moment starting from our bookings till the end of the trip, Noah was in continuous communication with us and helped in whatever way possible. There was also a small miscommunication with the balloon Safari company on date & place, but as soon Noah came to know about it he arranged for another camp and next day balloon ride so everything worked like a charm, and we enjoyed to the fullest.
We had our guides Dennis for Kenya and Hamza for Tanzania. They were both awesome as well. They always went above and beyond to show maximum numbers of Animals, landscapes, and experiences to us. They explained the next days plan always in the prior evening, which helped us a lot to get ready according to the next day Safari, to be most enjoyable.
So overall, I would definitely recommend Wildebeest Safaris to everyone, be in touch with them, and you will be in good hands.
