memorable experience, expert tour guide, punctual and accurate in commitments,
as advised earlier, the experience was wonderful, Noah the business development was accurate, patient and helpful in the initial communications, offering, planning, contracting, bookings, responding, open for amendments, flixible,
He assigned a first grade tour guide Dennis who made sure to give us a very good Safari and on time,
Thumbs up
Great experience will definitely recommend and use your services again on my next visit to africa

Best holiday of our lives, and we've been to over 30 countries. Special beyond words
WOW!! I honestly don't know where to start.. my husband and 5 year old daughter went to Kenya for a 5 day safari - we went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara all very beautiful and amazing
1. Noah, the man who responds and organises all the tours was amazingly patient and so very helpful!! I'd send him an email, mind you we are 9 hours behind and I'd get emails straight away, he answered all our questions, we forgot to see about getting a car seat for our 5 year daughter until we arrived in Africa. I emailed him from the airport and when Eustace, our fabulous guide, showed up the next day car seat was in the car! My husband realised the day before we were leaving Kenya he forgot his credit card at the hotel in Lake Naivasha ( we'd stayed at 3 nights prior a bit annoyed with the hotel that they didn't call us or Noah as we'd booked through them but definitely not Wildebeest's fault!) so Noah sorted it out got our card to Nairobi. Eustace got it to us before we left for the airport- mind you he had to leave his house early in the morning to get to the courier office to pick up the card, then get to our hotel as the traffic was terrible he abandoned his vehicle got on a moped taxi to make sure we got it before we left for the airport at 9AM. Amazing customer service!!
2. Eustace, our lovely guide, he was so nice and very patient as we had our 5 year old daughter who can be a bit difficult. Every morning he'd have a smile on his face waiting for a new day. He was knowledgeable about the animals and the places we were, very well spoken, and now very much loved by our daughter and our family he made our trip so very special. My little one was desperate to see lions, her favourite animal, and every time we stopped to talk to another guide he'd ask if anyone had seem some.. We were very lucky and saw a mating pair in Masai Mara- we were the only jeep around for a while totally amazing!!
3. Lodges- we stayed in 3 different lodges during our 5 day safari - all were beautiful, clean and had wonderful beds!
4. Journey- we drove to all our destinations and I now see why people fly in and out of the safari camps the roads are horrible but of course this isn't Wildebeest's fault… However if we hadn't driven we wouldn't have seen the great divide and have fond memories of Nairobi traffic, going off road on the highway because there was a huge hole in it, seeing camels, cattle, goats, and chickens as road blocks, and getting our Kenyan massage! ( riding on an unpaved very bumpy road for about 3 hours!)
I highly suggest using this outfit the customer service goes above and beyond. The pricing is so very competitive!! I don't know how they did it but one of the hotels we stayed in was roughly $600/night we stayed 2 nights our whole safari was only $2500 for 2 adults and 1 child…. We considered that a fantastic deal!! When we head back to Kenya, this is definitely who we'll be using!! Fab time!!

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.
Amazing Experience
We had an awesome experience with Wildebeest Safaris. I would highly recommend booking with them! Before the trip our emails were answered promptly and in detail. Everything that was promised on the itinerary was delivered-we were even upgraded on two camps. There were no hidden fees once we arrived. Everything was taken care of from transfers to and from the airports, food and lodging.
We visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and finished off with Zanzibar. The land in Africa is far more beautiful than we ever imagined. We were in constant awe of the landscape. Plus, the animals! We saw lions, black and white rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, thousands of zebra and wildebeest, hundreds of giraffes, plus so much more.
We found the guides to be very knowledgeable and friendly. We were never put in an environment in which we felt unsafe. They knew an extensive amount about the animals and interacted well during the game drives. They each spoke fluent English and were able to educate us on local customs, traditions and people as well as local wildlife.
I found the camps were always great and the workers very friendly. The food was always fantastic, the hospitality was amazing, and I felt very safe at each stop. With this being my first time in Africa, I will look back fondly on the places we stayed and our experiences at each tented camp and lodge.
Truly a once in a lifetime type of experience.

Great experience
We had a wonderful time traveling with Wildebeest. The best part of the safari, outside of the obvious siting of a multitude of wild animals, was the privilege of being guided by Hamza, our wonderful and knowledgable driver and guide. His patience and knowledge of the flora and fauna was outstanding. You don't often remember guides in the long run, but Hamza is tops and if it's possible to request a guide and driver, ask for him. Our lodgings were good to great, the food was good, and all in all it was a great experience. Thanks.
Design your own safari
The ability to negotiate accommodation type & level and means of travel allowed us to choose to suit our budget and time schedule. We chose to have a personal vehicle which allowed us to choose how we spent our time. Eustace, our driver, was a very safe driver, personable, and interested in making our experience wonderful. We would recommend this company highly.

A must-do when in Kenya!
We booked a short, action-packed 3 day tour to the Masai Mara national park, at the Sarova Camp facilities. It was a fantastic experience. On the 1st afternoon after our arrival from Nairobi we already saw 4 of the Big Five! The food at the camp was excellent and the service very friendly. Our driver and guide Dennis did a great job, and made us feel safe all along the journey. If only the stretch of road from Narok onwards to the Masia Mara would be asphalted.....
