Good until the last two days
KWSS' website is down and others write the phones are not answered. I guess they're out of business.
Our safari began on the 16th of July and ended the 28th. We had paid the full amount in advance.
After a visit to KWSS' office (O.T. gave a briefing) and we left for Samburu NR.
Zachary, our guide, was very, very good. Amazing wildlife spotting, service-minded, flexible and professional.
From Samburu to Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West and East.
The minibus broke down the last full day. We had trouble teaching KWSS (did not pick up phone on any number, incl emergency no.), but finally, the minibus and guide were rescued and we were allowed to stay at the Man Eaters lodge where someone had brought us (rescued from the broken down bus). We did realize that there was no reservation at the promised lodge (Voi Wildlife Lodge) and even the emergency number wasn't picked up. Communication during July (before departure) wasn't that great too.
We did finally got hold of KWSS and they provided us with another guide and bus as the minibus could not be repaired. We arrived at the airport and caught our plane back home.
But after all, we were VERY lucky. I guess they closed down right after. A lot of people write SCAM, FRAUD - I think they ran into a liquidity problem. Many had paid in advance (full or 50%) and that money was used on 'something' rather than lodges and park fee etc.
The guide made our trip and I would have given 4 stars, but I don't won't to lead anyone on to believe there nothing wrong with KWSS.

Totally unreliable, very bad communication
It was really bad, they didn't answer. We can't do the tour, because they didn't pick up us, the car was in service. They said we can also do the tour a day later or do it only 2 days, but we booked 3 days.
That's no way!

Great 5 day Safari in Tanzania
This year we had the most incredible vacation in Tanzania. We went there on a 6 day private safari with Vervet Safari and Tours to visit the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater national parks. The whole trip was a wonderful adventure, starting from the booking, the safari, to the trip back home. Vervet Safari and Tours worked hard to ensure we had the most amazing experience of our lives.
Our guide Richard was very punctual; he welcomed us in a very warm and friendly manner. Richard introduced himself and told us a lot of things about himself. I learnt that he had been a guide for more than 10 years. He showed us hundreds of different animals. I discovered that he was very knowledgeable when he started giving us facts about each animal that we encountered. He was also very patient with us when we insisted on taking a load of pictures with every animal we saw.
I almost forgot to thank Vervet for booking us in amazing camps and lodges where we spent our evenings after the day game drives. They were very comfortable and beautiful places to rest
Vervet has given us an unforgettable experience

amazing safari
The trip was very well organized and it lived up to our expectations!
Savannah explorers gave us a lot of important hints about destinations and accomodations.
The guide was very professional and communicative and we felt a very huge emotion seeing wild animals and impressive nature.
It was really spectacular to meet local tribes.

A wonderful once in a lifetime experience thanks to Big Time Safari
We booked a three days budget in Masai Mara via Big Time Safari, and from the beginning we have been well taken in charge by the team.
Concerning the services, the driver took us at our house and took to us to Masai Mara, he was very niceand compliant. The food served -typical kenyan meals- was excellent and illimited. The accomodation was peaceful and comfortable.
The safari itself was amazing!
They took charge of everything (even water bottle) and offered us ourbest experience so far, we totally recommend them!

Wonderful unforgettable ten days in Kenya and Tanzania arranged for us by Noah and his amazing team.
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari. Should we go on another safari in East Africa we will most definitely use Wildebeest Safaris again. Noah planned the safari with us from the start. He communicated with us all the detail. When we arrived he was at the hotel to welcome us personally. Our guides Jeff (in Kenya) and Humphrey (in Tanzania) assisted us and tried to ensure that all our expectations were met. They were flexible and so helpful. The accommodation, safari vehicles were up to standard. We were well looked after.
