Wildebeest Safaris arranged a very pleasant and unforgetable trip to Massai Mara and Amboseli,
Wildebeest Safaris tried their best to accommodate our wishes. They were polite and friendly and helped us to get an individually planed safari. The driver was very competent and helpful and tried his best, so that we saw many animals and the stay was an unforgetable experience.
We had to change dates and accommodations but the price structure was very intransparent. It would have been easier to understand the prices, if they would have been given individually for the various items like, vehicle and driver, accommodation etc. With one price for all, one never knew what one had to pay for and why the price went up.
But all in all it was a worthwhile experience, which can be recommended.

3 nights at Twee Rivieren
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the park with Kalahari Tours and Travel. I had a busy schedule so I could only spend three nights at Twee Rivieren, from which we drove up towards Nossob and Mata Mata. My guide Dennis was incredibly helpful and great at spotting wildlife that I would otherwise have missed.
The wildlife was very impressive, with large numbers of the typical herbivores as well as a few giraffe, southern kudu and red hartebeest. We enjoyed fabulous views of a leopard, two cheetah groups and several honey badgers, but we were unsuccessful with lions and hyenas. The night drive was well worth the small fee and cold temperatures, with six wildcats, a bat-eared fox and many springhares and spotted eagle-owls.
Observing the small birds was difficult as we were confined to our vehicle. However, this was more than made up for by the number and diversity of raptors, including tawny eagles, bateleurs, goshawks, secretarybirds, black-shouldered kites, lanner falcons, martial eagles and jackal buzzards. We also saw the majority of my other targets, such as kori bustard, Burchell's sandgrouse and both southern yellow-billed and African grey hornbills. The scenery was beautiful and provided a great backdrop for photos.
All in all a great trip, although a longer stay would have been great for seeing more of the park's inhabitants.

A personal and responsiv experience even with a phone call to England
The safari lived up to expectations although more background literature would have been helpful on locations of the lodges and comparisons between the facilities at each. The guide was very friendly and passionate about everything!

Good experience - Kilimanjato
I had a good experience with Ilmaasai to climb Kili. Price vs benefits I think was good. Is not the most complete company but all the services was good. All crew during the climb was very friendly and helpful, and the office efficient with emails.

Well organised
Transport, accommodation, permits to see gorillas, etc. was well organised, we did not have to worry about any logistics. E-mail replies for the reservation were quick and to the point, all was arranged in 1/2 day.

An amazing guide, well organised safari!
From the 1st contact, Noah, a sale representative from Wilderbeest Safaris, was very fast at replying and efficient. He organised a 4 days safari around Arusha following my comments and criteria.
He was always very fast at replying to any of my questions and organised everything very smoothly from start to finish! We were very impressed and highly recommend them.
We were lucky to get Max as our driver/ guide and it was perfect!
Max is a knowledgeable guide, smart, kind, funny and discreet. We really liked the whole experience and saw so many wild animals!! All of them really except the Rhino and Leopard but that was a long shot anyway.
In regards to the hotels, depending on your budget, I stoingly recomment you stay at the Neptune Ngorongoro!! This was a magical experience, amazing service, everything all inclusive, very spacious cottages with chimneys!! A real dream and I wish we stayed longer there!
The 2nd night was at a hotel inside the Ngorongoro national park, the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge and that was a very disappointing experience. If we had known we would have asked to stay at the Neptune again as it is just at the entrance of the park and on the way to Lake Manyara.
We also visited the Lake Manyara park, lots of girafes and elephants! And the Tarangire park where we saw more elephant, Girafes, lions, Zebras and all the others!!
Thanks again Wilderbeest for organising a great trip for us, we loved it and will recommend you to our friends and family!
We had a great experience in Murchsion falls with a well experienced and knowledgeable guide.
Everything was handled very professionally by around Africa. It was super comfortable and convenient and the guide responded to our every need. I would highly recommend this company.

Amazing Time in Kenya
It was a really nice experience!!
We stayed 3 days in Kenya and we went to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
Lake Nakuru is nice, but after Masai Mara..a bit disappointing! I guess it's nice if you have plenty of time, and you can visit both.. or very short time and prefer something closer to Nairobi.
Masai Mara is simply beautiful!
U see at most 6 cars in the game.. and it's amazingly natural.
If you only have 3 days, stay only in Masai Mara!
Special thanks to our guide, Dennis.. he was 5***** and he promised that we'd see all the big 5, and we did!
Take a look at the video I did:
