Tanzania safari - Best safari experience in Africa
5/5

I am just back home after 7 days safari in Tanzania -16 to 22 August!!
We started our safari adventure many months before, preparing a great genuine experience for a group of 19 persons. Noah delivered a tailor-made safari tour for Tanzania, including Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo, for all these destinations we got ones of the best accommodation lodges (Sopa, Serena, Simba).
The rangers / drivers picked us up from Kilimajaro airport at 1 a.m. and we started the great adventure throughout Tanzanian best savannah, just next day in the morning.
We’ve been very well introduced within the animal’s world; the drivers looked carefully for all type of animals we could find in each reservation. We saw hundreds of wildebeest, lots of elephants, cheetahs, leopard, hippos, hundreds of zebras and lots lots of lions. We also saw buffalo, many kinds of birds, including pelicans, flamingos, many families of baboons, blue monkey, etc. watching their daily routine. Besides these, I personally enjoyed giraffes, which we could spot them especially in Tarangire and Serengeti, but also, along side the road between different reservations.
Many lions we saw in Serengeti, much more than I ever expected, I just cant count them…
All these thousands of animal viewed in one of the best savannah landscapes, were absolutely delightful.
Drivers were very kind, polite and helpful; they were punctual every morning, having the jeeps kept in perfect state, the fridge in the car was constantly filled with still water, so that we could refresh ourselves anytime. They provided with various information about the wildlife (food, habits, hunting, reproducing, etc) and choose the best routes to find animals, nothing was too much for them to bring us the animals at our feet.
Most of the lunches we had were picnic lunch, some of the places chosen for this were charming, with nice view and having all basic facilities.
As I mentioned above, all lodges were perfectly located in the middle of savannah, having breathtaking views over the parks, crater or lake, depends on the location we were in. Very good service during accommodation, well appointed rooms, with all amenities, including self coffee & tea facilities, very spacious, with large outside terraces giving you the feeling you are in the middle of wilderness but, also, safely. They all have nice swimming pools and dinner entertainment with local dancers. Every evening we got to the lodges, I assisted the best sunsets I ever had (I love sunsets).
As a conclusion: games drive were excellent; our drivers / rangers – Hamza, Peter, Ayubu – were professional, attentive, communicative and knowledgeable; accommodation – Serena Lodge, Sopa Lodge and Simba Lodge – just perfect
Although I had a similar experience in Kenya in 2014, and South Africa in 2011, Tanzania safari din year was a great adventure, most of it because of good appointment and coordination of this tour for 19 people!!!

Thank you www.wildebeestsafaris.com!

Excellent Tour and Experienced Guide
5/5

We have a very long safari trip and between Kenya and Tanzania. Our first guide Leo is very experienced and have worked for this job for 18 years. He could predict animals' moving route and give me a good angle to take pictures. Thank you Leo, we have a really good time with you.

The second guide in Tanzania Dullah is also very good and fulfilled all our requests. When we go back to Ambosali, Kenya, the third guide is young, and not really experienced. But to sum up, the entire tour is fantastic, and we enjoy it so much.

Fantastic guide and good planning
5/5

Noah Kutti did an excellent job laying out the itinerary while Geoffrey (our guide in Kenya) was just awesome. We plan to come back to Masai Mara soon and there is no qs. as to which company we are going to choose. Only thing is that some of the drives (such as from Nakuru to Mara) are pretty long and over unpaved roads. If you can afford, try taking the flights for these 6+ hour road trips. You back will thank you.

The Safari more than fulfilled our expectations. Masai Mara during migration was a particular highlight.

The arrangement is thoughtful and adaptable to different situations.
4/5

Overall the experience is good. We got prompt feedback in most of cases. The arrangement of hotels and safari trips are very thoughtful and meet our expectations. There was a same issue happened before we went to Amboseli as the vehicle was not the one we expected. We understood the reason but it would be better if we could be communicated earlier rather than knew it when it happened. Still it was a good trip and experience. Thanks!

My husband and I recently traveled with Hamza of Wildebeest Safaris. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. We loved our first safari!! The accommodations were better than expected, the drives were awesome and Hamza was very patient and very knowledgeable. We would not hesitate to recommend Wildebeest and thank Noah for organizing such a great trip. Asante Sana!

A review of Wildebeest Safaris LTD
5/5

9/27/16
We started our planning for a 2016 September trip to Africa in early January. We had no clue there were so many tour companies and options. We knew that we wanted to be able to see part of the migration and we wanted the chance to see the "big 5". We investigated several companies and got quotes for what we thought we wanted. Only Wildebeest and Mr Noah Kuti seemed eager to tailor a trip for our desires and give us many itinerary options. He was very patient with our many questions and concerns and finally we had the locations and accommodations set. Because we traveled across the border from Kenya to Tanzania and back, it was necessary to have 3 different guides. All were extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and again .... answered our questions as if it were the first time they had heard them. It was obvious that these men loved their work. We were able to see everything we came for and so much more and in the process, gained insight into animal behavior that was very educational. The only glitch I can report on was the payment process. I don't believe this had anything to do with Wildebeest Safaris, but we were unable to use PayPal for our final payment as we had done with our down payment. It was a concern, but turned out OK. I feel very fortunate that we picked Wildebeest as our guide service and would recommend them to everyone.
ps: Because we traveled close to 1,000 miles, we stayed in 5 different lodges. During the middle of our trip, one of our scheduled tented camps became over booked before we arrived. Mu Kuti was able to get us accommodations, and not just a similar camp, but in a 4 star lodge at no extra cost. Thanks Noah.

Wonderful time with Wildebeest Safaris
5/5

My husband and I booked a 5 day trip with Wildebeest Safaris about a week in advance. Luckily it was the off season so there was availability. Noah was so gracious in accommodating us on such short notice and was always prompt about returning emails and staying in contact. On the morning we were supposed to leave, my husband was very sick. I called Noah early in the morning to ask what our options were because we did not want to leave Nairobi that day in case my husband needed medical attention. Noah and our guide, Eustace, were SO nice and understanding and were able to push the trip back a day without sacrificing too much safari time. Mind you, this all occurred about 1 hour before we were supposed to leave and Eustace was already en-route to pick us up. When he got to our hostel he was updated on the situation and even though he had made this trip for no reason, he asked if there was anything else he could do to help us. I was so grateful for his kind words! Luckily, my husband was good to go the next day. We had a wonderful time visiting Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, and finally Masai Mara. Eustace was full of interesting information that added another dimension to the trip. It was clear that he has a passion for his job. We could not say enough good things about Wildebeest Safaris and our wonderful guide. We are so appreciative and hope to come back to Kenya someday!

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime! Perfect in Every Way.
5/5

We just came back from a 6 Day Safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. It was perfect! Wildebeest Safaris has been a complete pleasure to work with from Day 1. Noah was incredibly responsive getting our safari setup and reserved, and communicating the plan every step of the way. When we arrived, our guide (Hamza) was at the airport to greet us. He was a phenomenal guide and provided so much insight about Africa, Tanzania, the culture, the wildlife, and everything in between. He went above and beyond with everything and always got us right up in the action! Couldn't have asked for a better guide to spend our safari with. I would recommend Wildebeest Safari to anyone, and will definitely be coming back to book with them again! Thank you Noah and Hamza for giving us a trip of a lifetime!
