Stolen Money
2/5

Though the actual experience of the safari was great, the company stole our money. They led us to believe that due to a switch in lodges (due to a flood), the money that we paid several months in advanced had not been able to transfer from one lodge to the next. They then told us that they we would have to pay for the fees again and they would refund us. Our driver's name was Dennis. He gave us the name and number of his "boss", Noah who was suppose to drop of the money in USD at the hotel we were staying at. Of course he never showed up and promised that he would transfer the money into our accounts when we arrived in the us. Of course, he lied again. Till this day, we have no received our refund. This company will steal your money. Do not book with them. The driver smiled in our face the entire time and then ripped us off and refused to drive us into Nairobi unless we paid the fees. BE AWARE. My friends and I are posting this review on every website we possibly can to warn others.

Very nice safari
5/5

Very nice and well organised safari. The lodges were amazing and the guide very interesting. We had a small problem regarding the car which was a van instead of a jeep but they are going to refund us the price difference.

Great Migration Safari in Maasai Mara
5/5

I had been the Maasai Mara Migration experience in my bucket list for many years. This year , we took advantage of the ongoing local tourism promotion and the great deals (almost 70% discounted) that tented camps are offering in Maasai Mara. Our tour was organised through Wildbeest safaris. I must say that it was an amazing experience for my colleagues and myself as we had never been on safari before, at least not in August and during the peak Migration season. Zebra Plains tented camp was a wonderful choice for accommodation. I would highly recommend Wildbeest safaris especially to local tourists to visit our beautiful country and support local Tour companies during this difficult moments. Asante sana Noah Kuti for organizing an amazing tour for us.

Excellent, Fun, Precise , Helpful, Fullfilled my expectatives and more
5/5

Times has been difficult for everyone during this Covid Pandemic, but it was good to know that in the middle of chaos and confusions I had Wildebeest Safaris LTD, to hold my hand all the way with my travel plans and they were willing to make adjustments based on the circusmtances that rise during these time.
I spend a total of 7 days with the team traveling to what it has been a fantastic experience visiting the cities and the Safaries.
Not only the fact they took care of my needs but as a solo traveler it was great to have Guide Dennis as my companion and we had such a great time
Touring and he became my shopping and photographer partner.
For sure Dennis went out of the way to make my stay in Kenya to be a dream come true.
I highly recomend Wildebeest Safaries for any travel accomodations desired and more.

Passion for excelence & customer oriented
5/5

I am a touroperator from Bucharest - Romania and had a group of 12 pax with Wildebeest Safaris in mid April 2021, covering 4 days/3 nights safari in Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboseli. The clients were very happy with the services they got. The drivers/rangers didnt skip anything from the program and even they ran for "extra miles" in order to offer to the clients the best experiences (animal viewing, lanscapes, view points, photo stops ).
At the end, we encountered an operational issue with Kenya Airways (flight cancellation due to country lockdown) and the owner of Wildebeest Safari led the effort to get the people in time from Mombasa to Nairobi for boarding international flights.

Professional company - good contact with Noah - great, friendly and professional guide (Hamza)
5/5

At first, I was a bit holding back when it comes to arranging my tour locally. But in the end, all tour operators from the Netherlands make use of local operators and add their bunch of profit on top of it. I found Wildesbeest Safaris on Safaribookings, did some research and had a good e-mail conversation with owner Noah. He made me a good deal despite the rising high-season fees from 1. July.

My guide was Hamza. I did a 5-day/4night tour with him. Hamza is very nice to talk with. If you have a lot of questions, he is your man. If you just want to rest and not talk, no problem either. Hamza is very professional, spotted great sightings I would have definately missed. It was a great time!

The only very small downside were the Serena lodges. The food (buffet), both dinner and breakfast, was OK but not as expected for the price paid. But ofcourse this can NOT be charged to Wildebeest.

This was my first visit to Tanzania, but definately not my last. I have lots of other plans to do and I am sure Wildebeest Safaris will be my first to contact to make me a nice quote :)
