They are professional and simply amazing.
I went on a safari in 2019 and it was such a super experience. Wildebeest safari made all things possible. We managed to see all the big five and other animals too. My wife and kids were super happy.. We are planning to come back

Great experience
Booked a tour with the guide Denise, great experience, its a must to try it at least once in your lifetime, this is the third time im using wildebeest tours and they never disappointed me, i booked in the Naserian camp , highly recommended, its a fenced camp with all the services, the Internet in available only in the base , not in the tents , very comfortable beds , great staff ,
If i come again i would choose Naserian camp again ,
Special thanks to Noah for arranging this and again Special thanks to the best guide ever Denise

Excellent safari exp. But don't deal with noah
I booked the safari experience from Wildebeest from aug 11 to aug 15th. Nairobi airport pickup - amboseli - Nakuru - mara and back to nairobi.
Our guide was dennis.
I had an amazing time, thanks to Dennis , the vehicle we were in was very good and Dennis made sure we felt safe. He made sure we had a great safari experience and we were lucky to see the migration crossing as well.
I would recommend the experience with Dennis to everyone.
The 2nd part of our journey to diani was riddled with troubles and we had to waste an entire day of our expensive trip because of Noah the owner/manager. Noah is the unprofessional manager who left us high and dry on 3 occassions -
1. He messed up our train tickets and we ended up wasting an entire beach day because of an early bus (our last resort) because of his unprofessionalism.
2. He messed up our mara hotel itinerary and we had to travel 3 hours extra late in the night and had the audacity to blame us for his goof up.
3. He tried to charge us extra park fees - 160$ for his own mistakes.
Notably, we got really bad seats in the train that he did book, his delay in payments for the park fees made sure we waited 20 mins min each time outside the safari gates.
Never once did he ever make an apology that was genuine.
Although my experience with widlebeest was amazing, I have a sour taste because of noah, would strongly urge folks who deal with Noah to document everything on email as proof.
5/5 for Dennis our guide.
10/5 for Kenya and the experience
-5/5 for Noah the owner/ manager.
3.5 for wildebeest, still one of the best experiences of my life minus the issues we had to deal with because of noah.
Go for it but be careful and document everything.

Excellent tour guide who chose excellent accommodation
I went on a 4 centre safari planned totally by myself. This consisted of Nairobi NP, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. I confirmed all the details with the operator to the minutest detail so there was no chance of any misunderstanding. This was primarily to ensure I received like for like quotes. The company clarified all my queries and provided a breakdown of prices. I was very satisfied with the responses received and the choices of accommodation at each location. These I checked via various review sites.
I was collected from the airport and taken to my hotel. The guides were all very informative and reliable. Denis was exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing time and saw all the animals and birds I wanted to see. I would strongly recommend Wildebeest Safaris, but like any holiday, it pays to confirm exactly what you want in detail. The company offer a competitive pricing policy whilst providing good accommodation at whatever price point and standard is requested.
The communication was good and payment made immediately prior to arrival via a secure payment system. Make sure payment is made using a credit card to ensure a degree of protection in Kenya.
All in all a positive experience and I would definitely use Wildebeest Safari's again for a self planned trip. Do your research and be detailed and I am sure you will benefit

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.

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.

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.

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!!

a last minute trip
All communication while planning the trip was prompt, very courteous and accommodating. Towards the end while we were finalizing it (the departure date was finalized very late), i believe the agent too was travelling and communication dropped, causing me a few tense moments. A mail saying my mails had been received and were being worked on would have been appreciated.
The safari vehicle itself wasn't in good repair (simple things like overhead handles to hang on to on the bumpy routes in the parks were missing).
That said.....the trip itself went off well. Our guide and driver Hamza was an absolute delight. Very helpful and very cheerful...he made the trip great fun.
I would use Wildebeest Safaris again as i believe the minor issues we faced were because of the late nature of the booking.
It was an enjoyable experience overall.
