A very professional yet caring service provider
I must confess that it was very pleasant dealing with Simon from the onset. Simon ensured that he was constantly in touch with us during all stages from initiation/ planning to the culmination of the trip. All concerns/ suggestions were promptly taken care. Accommodation at Amboseli and Masai Mara were excellent; Nakuru accommodation was satisfactory.
However, there remained few concerns which surfaced because of Naivasha accommodation and also a 2 hours waiting period before start of Masai Mara trip as plan to induct another group was not properly planned. After raising these issues to Simon, he apologized immediately and took sincere care that any more problem is not encountered and remaining trip remains spot-less. Based on the feedback, he ensured that Naivasha accommodation was not repeated for any more tourist.
In all, I can say that he was a very professional and caring host and I will surely recommend him to all my friends.

Good Experience
The overall experience with Wild Race Africa Safaris was amazing; they were organized, timely and very prompt in their services. we happened to plan our trip during the migration season so we made it just in time for the wildebeest migration and Masai Mara is beautiful. I was a little hesitant with the online payments to a local agent but Simon and team were very helpful and guided us through whole process of designing the itinerary in the best possible manner and arranging for pay pal links for advance payment.
we saw the big five during our 4 day stay and so we were very glad and went back satisfied. must check out the local shopping in the area!!

Great safari, lots of wildlife.
The communication we received with the company was very good in the run up to the trip. All emails were answered promptly and efficiently. The safari went reasonably smoothly and we saw lots of wildlife, as we had hoped. The tour guide, Stanley,was very helpful and was able to identify most of the wildlife we saw. He worked hard to make our safari pleasant and comfortable. The travelling between the parks was very lengthy and I think it is better to spend longer in each park rather than to try and fit too much in and end up spending an awful lot of time in the safari van. The roads are not good and the traffic often very heavy too. The accommodation ranged from quite good hotels to basic tented camps. Upgrades might be preferred in these cases. The company provides good value for money compared with other quotes we received. I would recommend this company to others.

Great customer service!
Amazing Safari / game drive experience with great customer service!
We had a 30 hour layover in Nairobi and so quickly wanted to maximise every minute we could! Wild Race Africa Safaris planned this Safari experience and everything was according to plan. We kept in constant contact when I was having flight issues and they picked us up promptly and guided us through Nairobi National Park, showing us all the animal spots and then dropped us off in the city.
Great company with customer service! I would definitely recommend. It’s a good, competitive price too. Thank you!

Best first time experience
This was my husband's first time in Kenya. I was so worried if he would enjoy it. This trip was such a blissful, comfortable and exciting experience for him and my kids too. I also enjoyed it! Definitely doing this again!

Great safari experience: Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East.
Pre-travel assistance very kind and timely by the owner Simon M., on all our requests.
The overall safari schedule was full and well respected for the main attractions. Budget accommodations and camps carefully chosen with Simon and aligned to our expectations. Surprise upgrade on the last lodge very much appreciated!
As a possible point of improvement we'd suggest a better accuracy in the written details of the daily plan and documents provided, as some typos and copy-paste from other schedules were misleading for us in terms of lenght of the transfer travels between the different locations, some activities/stops described along the itinerary were just not possible to fit the schedule in terms of time, so it is advisable not to even mention them.
For the time schedule we therefore trusted completely in our guide Simon K. who is extremely professional and knowledgeable on animals and routes. He is also a very good driver and thanks to his experience and knowledge we were able to spot so many animals, several lions and a leopard on a tree in Nakuru. Thank you Simon & Simon for the unforgettable experience!

If you want your Kenya safari to be a trip of a lifetime, use Wild Race, no need to look elsewhere
A 4-day 3 night luxury safari was arranged thru Wild Race Africa. Family of 4 (me, my sister, my wife, and my 20y old daughter). We stayed at the Sopa Lodge, the Keekerok, and the Sekenani camp. Sekenani is authentic my friends, so be warned - it is not for the faint of heart at night (lions roaring in distance, baboons fighting outside your lodge, etc BUT nevertheless we did not feel in danger at any moment). The MAIN thing I want to accentuate, however, is the customer service we received from Wild Race. Simon! Thank you SOO much for making this trip pleasurable for us. If you want your safari to truly be a trip of a lifetime, let Simon with Wild Race arrange it for you. Ask for George to be your safari guide (George!! Asante sana!!!).
This is the exact safari we took: 4-day 3 night Maasai Mara/Lake Nakuru Luxury Safari. We took the van with the pop up roof option. Safari was March 19 - March 22, 2023
