Best Ever!
Our trip with East Africa Wild Adventures could not have been better. Alym responded to our emails very quickly and his plans for us worked perfectly. He catered our trip to our exact desires. Every connection was on time and we were met by friendly and knowledgeable people. The safari was wonderful and our guide made sure we saw every animal possible. Our accommodations lived up to our expectations. We could not have been more satisfied.

An incredible experience!
We did a 10 day safari covering Masai Mara, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Amboseli. Noah and team made our trip the best ever possible. Extremely friendly and professional. All the arrangements were wonderful. Our guides Dennis and Hamza were really knowledgeable, great at animal spotting and extremely flexible. What differentiates Wildebeest is unlike the big safari operators they ensure every bit of the journey is tailor-made and client friendly. In short, I must say, we came as clients but while departing, we left as friends. Highly recommended and you won't regret choosing Wildebeest!

They delivered on all promises timely and accurately!
Matthys was our agent and he was wonderful about communicating with us. We had never done a trip like this before and we're nervous about traveling so far from home. Also my wife had major mobility issues that had to be considered. All our accommodation and travel connections were in perfect order. We truly had the experience of our lifetime!

Everything I wanted out of an African safari and more.
The three parks we visited were very different ecologically. First was Tangire where we saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests. Next was Ngorogoro Crater where we saw hippos, lions, jackals, hyenas, and rhino. Last day was Lake Manyara where we saw groups of baboons. I recommend visiting a Massai village.

Nice budget safari
Everything was quite well organized. The worst was the food, which was quite bad. The accommodation was good and the guide ok (neither bad nor amazing).

Great tour with anoying start and ending due to bad organisation
First of all to start of, we really have to say our driver (Jackson) did his best to show us all the animals Kenya has to offer! Coming with that, the driving was a little crazy sometimes, but he always seemed to have everything under control. Nevertheless, it would have been nice, to get some inforamtion about why we are driving this fast or that the game drive is finished now.
About the accomodations: food didn't really changes over the 6 days of safari and warm water wasn't usual eighter. Still, what can you expect for this same price.
Talking about the price, what sense does it make to have to pay it cash?! We were two peple and had to carry a big pack of money in our pockets while running through half of Nairobi to get to the office... Organisation before and after the tour failed completely... more than that, the guy didn't really care about us so it was hard to trust..
But still, the price was cheap and we did enjoy the safari with all the animals and landscape

Excellent safari
This is best price budget safari I found on internet. In price are included two nights in hotel and transport from/to Kilimanjaro airport. I go on 5 days budget camping safari. Camps are basic, but cook and food are great. Our guide Hilario was very good and knowledgeable and are able to see wild animal even when we hardly see them with binoculars. Owner of this company Geofrey is very nice man, and respond to my mails very quickly.
If you look for budget safari don't look any further this is best option.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We just returned from our 6 night/7 day safari with Popote and are so happy with our experience. From the get go, Sabino made everything so effortless on our end. All we had to do was tell him what he wanted and he made it happen. We booked very last minute and he was able to accommodate us and help us get from Dar to Moshi within 24 hours. We chose the camping option and were able to tweak our itinerary slightly so that we had an extra day in Serengeti. We had our amazing guide/driver (Rashid) and chef (Morris) making sure each day was memorable and amazing. Rashid clearly loves what he does and is very knowledgeable on the animals and the different environments/landscapes that we were in. He was an amazing driver and we always felt safe with him leading the way, getting us from point A to point B. He was very dutiful and picked up on our routines and habits and made sure we always had what we needed, when we needed it. Whether it was power to charge our camera batteries, a cold bottle of water with dinner or a more flexible approach to our daily schedule instead of being on a super tight timed schedule. Rashid always made sure to never cut corners. If we were leaving a park or heading back to camp, he would make sure to take "the long way" out, as opposed to the main road, in hopes that we might stumble upon an extra animal encounter on our way out. Which we always did! Knowing that I am a photographer, he would keep an eye out for certain shots I should get and would make sure that I got a shot from all angles of each encounter, as well as made sure I was done photographing before we moved on. It's those little things that make you feel like you're really being taken care of. Our Chef Morris was amazing and he made the "camping and dining" experience so much fun. Another guy who clearly loves what he does. He was very creative with the meals, making sure one was always different (always tasty) and he made sure we had more than enough to eat! Lastly, the gear that we were provided with made our trip super comfortable and convenient. The tent was tall enough for us to stand in and provided plenty of space for 2 people. We had mattress pads and warm sleeping bags to help give us a good nights rest. Our first night we didn't have pillows, but the next morning I asked if we could get some and we had some 20 minutes later! The truck is equipped with a charging station for charging camera batteries and phones, as well as a cooler to keep your water chilled. Both of those ended up being lifesavers!!!
We learned about Popote from our friends who spent 2 years traveling the world. They used Popote for both a Kilimanjaro trek and safari and we feel so lucky that we were able to make that connection. I would definitely recommend using Popote as your guides, for whichever Tanzanian adventure you choose!
