Private safari in three conservatives- big five + 1 spotted, excellent lodging in the wilderness.
5/5

We had a private safari, me and my two kids, ten and fourteen. We felt safe all the time. The guide Willy was excellent- with lot of of knowledge and respect for the nature and animals he guided us through Amboseli, Nakuru lake and Masai Mara national parks. We saw loads of wild animals including the big five plus a cheeta. As a bonus we saw a lot of the country of Kenya during the long drives between conservatives. Met so many nice and friendly people. Super tent lodges - clean, fresh and well equipped and perfect service.

Great safari experience with skilled/experienced driver/guide
5/5

We wen't on a 5N/6D safari across the parks/areas of Tarangiri, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara in early June and were quite happy with Wildebeest Safaris.

While Noah Kuti, the owner, was as communicative and clear as we'd expect, the biggest factor in our satisfaction was no doubt our skilled and experienced driver/guide Hamza, who managed to give us great viewing experiences of not only the Big Five (Black Rhino at a great distance, though), but also a Great Migration event consisting of a frenzied herd of thousands of Wildebeest + Zebras crossing a river in central Serengeti. The latter felt like I imagine it would feel like to see a crossing of Grumeti River with crocs and all, just that there were no crocs in the particular river location we observed 'our' crossing.

The lodges and tent camps chosen by Wildebeest Safaris for our safari were also quite alright, with just one negative thing (not major) to note about one of them (in separate review).

All in all we were quite happy and satisfied with our safari trip.

I'd say, however, that it depends very much on which driver/guide you get, so our advise is to try to ensure that you do get a truly experienced guide. Our driver/guide Hamza's 15 years experience of doing safaris in the area, as well as his good understanding and positive attitude, certainly played a role.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
