Amazing Safari in Tanzania!
4/5

Thanks to Hamza, Noah and the Wildebeest team for an amazing trip! Noah was prompt and helpful in all his communications in the six months between booking and travel and answered all of our questions with patience. Our guide, Hamza, was fabulous and really made our trip, I'm sure he must have telescopic vision as he could spot animals from huge distances and his knowledge of the wildlife/birds and their behaviour was excellent. We felt comfortable and safe throughout the 6 days, from collection at Kilimanjaro International through to drop off at Arusha Airport for our flight to Zanzibar.

My husband and I did a 6 night private safari including one night in Arusha pre-safari. The accommodation was all very comfortable and clean and the food was always good. My favourite was the Tortilis Camp in the Serengeti where I had the best meal of our holiday.

I was slightly nervous of booking directly with a Safari company rather than using a local travel agent, but I need not have worried at all. Everything went very smoothly and we had the most fabulous experience, absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions regarding out trip to Tanzania :).

well organised and good guides
5/5

the guides were very good and the tour well organised. the veheciles were very good for the savannah and the actual forest area but would not recommend that for very long ( 6 to 8 hours ) drive.
All the lodges and the hotels were very good and very good staff every where

A wonderful experience in hand of professional
5/5

It was a good arrangement by a tour operator. The tour guide ( Dennis ) is remarkable both guide and drive. He took us to see all the big five so the operation accomplished.

The better price compared with the others.

Noah picked the right camps both in Naguru and Massai Mara.

Flamingo Hill Camp is wonderful.

Staff at Zebra Plain Camp at Massai Mara are helpful and friendly. Wild animal are easily seen at the site.

Very responsive, transparent and extremely experienced!
5/5

Since the first time contact, Noah and Samuel had been very prompt in replying all my emails with all sorts of questions. Based on what I was looking for, they customized the safari. Our guide cum driver..Dennis.. went above and beyond our expectations trying to meet our wishes and demands. He mad sure we had the best time during the 7 days safari trip starting from Nairobi>Amboseli>Lake Nukuru>Masai Mara > Nairobi.
Dennis made sure we not even watch and see 'Big Five' but same time experience their behavior in groups which was truly amazing.
Given all the challenges which comes to such Safaris including very bad road and traffic conditions while traveling from one park to another, its remarkable as how these people able to manage it successfully.
In summary, we had the most memorable vacation and will cherish the experience throughout the life.

Wildebeest Safaris exceeded our expectations
5/5

We booked a weeklong safari at Wildebeest Safaris for our honeymoon. We deliberately decided to book directly in Kenya and not with a German tour operator to support a local provider and then save the commission of the German provider, who ultimately buys the service on site.
Our entire trip was very well organized, all transfers worked flawlessly, the Landcruisers were in good condition and our guides were really knowledgeable and fun.
From Nairobi we started in the Masai Mara and our guide Andrew gave us two unforgettable days with special impressions. Afterwards, we were handed over to Hamza on the border with Tanzania and visited the Ngorongoro after two days in the Serengeti. He too was competent and happy to be at work. Finally, we saw all the big animals and collected unforgettable impressions, including African massage ;-)
The booking of the luxury accommodations (Mara Eden Camp, Serengeti Tortilis Camp, Ngorongoro Serena Lodge) was easy and we were also well looked after there. Finally we were handed over again on the border with Kenya and taken to the airport Nairobi. The changes at the border took place without any problems and without waiting times.
Overall, our safari was very well organized, with the two guides we had a lot of fun and therefore we can recommend Wildebeest Safaris with a clear conscience.

Great experience
4/5

I absolutely loved it all - thank you for arranging a very good itinerary. Hamza, our guide, was such a delight and definitely made sure we enjoyed the safari.

The two minor things I would say for improvement is: under your information tab (on the itinerary), that the weather for winter needs to be updated. I didn't realise that the temperatures would be about 10˚C in the mountains, and therefore didn't pack a warm jacket. In terms of lodging - Ocean Paradise Hotel only gave us half board when we were promised full board according to our itinerary.

Apart from that though, the people of Tanzania are wonderfully warm and welcoming and we had the most wonderful time.

Amazing safari
5/5

We visited Kenya last September and the whole experience was great. Definitely "Wildebeest Safari" is the best option for you to book your trip, a few reasons are:

- Clear and quick responses to all our questions (via email, WhatsApp and phone - basically 24/7 availability)
- Flexibility. Even though they give very good options (schedules, hotels, locations, etc.), they will adjust to your needs without any complaint.
- Excellent customer service. We were treated extremely well by them, during the planning ´process (by Noah) and while we were there (our guides).
- Knowledgeable and polite guides. We were fortunate to have Andrew and Frank as our guides. Both were great! They know where to go, how to get close to the animals without disrupting them and they are very friendly and patient. Good photographers as well.

Our recommendation for you is to go on a private safari. It is more expensive, but we truly found it worth it.

Amazing experience.
4/5

The trip was well organized. Our guide in Tanzania was truly world class. Our family felt safe and well cared for the entire trip. Overall the accommodations were excellent but we did have a couple of nights that were not up to expectations. In particular, the Nairobi hotel on the night of our arrival.

The review below is the personal opinion of Martin and not that of SafariBookings.
Driver had no safari, wildlife experience
2/5

In general it was ok. Good safari car, efficient communication, the lodges including the right tents where booked however - for us the most important - the driver had no safari experience. So, he was NOT able to tell us anything about the wild life and he did not once showed wildlife based on his observation. As those organizations work with independent drivers, with a different driver experience can be completely different. Advice: ask for cv of driver.

Dear Martin,

Thank you for your feedback. We replaced this particular driver/guide with a more experienced one.

Kind Regards,
Noah
