Amazing and surreal experience!
My husband and I loved our safari experience. We got to see many animals and even witnessed a lion kill. The food was decent, and the accomodations sufficed given the price. The scheduling and organization of the trip was great, and we got to meet other fellow travelers. All in all it was a fun trip! I highly recommend this company!

Excellent Experience
To book a safari online without a reccomendation requires a lot of trust. Wild Race delivered for my wife and I, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Many packages advertised are similar across many different companies, but I can guarantee that Wild Race offer great value and are one of the good guys.

Best experience ever
Awesome African safari experience.
Thanks to Wild trace Africa Safari tours and her team of experts.
We booked a two weeks safari after reading reviews about this company and the incredible, greatest Kenya tour operator simon milambo who happened to be the sole owner of the company, and believe me, the experience form the point of booking to the end of the trip surpassed our expectation. The safari trip take place in jeeps in small groups (We had 7) so all get a window seat. Our guide Obama was simply excellent! He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and the country, not to mention the local peoples culture. Very fluent in English and little bit of French, Spanish and even Italian, something that we found quite incredible with him. Obama often spotted animals before we did and we were lucky enough to see lion cubs playing and male lions prowling next to a herd of wildebeest that later took to their heels for the incredible wildebeest migration across the Mara river. This trip was not just like any other trip, it was a onetime breath taking safari experience of a lifetime. I would thoroughly recommend simon milambo and wild race Africa safari adventure for all your African safari destinations for an excellent African safari experience like no other.

Safari of a lifetime!
Having already done a great safari in Tanzania a few years ago, I had pretty high expectations this time around, taking alone my two children (12 and 10) to their first safari in Kenya.
Simon from Wildrace Africa was by far the most professionnal and responsive operator to get back with a quote, a competitive, tailor-made 8-day itinerary in a private 4x4, covering four parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli & Tsavo East) with a drop-off to our resort in Diani Beach.
Simon answered all logistical questions I had within hours (when not minutes!) via Whatsapp, and offered flexibility (downpayment through Paypal, balance in euros rather than USD...).
On departure day we met the whole Wildrace Africa team as well as our guide/driver Pascal, whose friendliness, experience, competence and professionalism truly made this safari a unique lifetime experience.
Pascal was totally dedicated to our every needs and went out of his way to take us to as many game sighting spots as we wanted, when we wanted. His keen eye even made us witness a live lion hunt moment, an extremely rare scene during daytime. We saw just about every single animal one can see in Kenya, and more!
Pascal is an excellent driver, we felt safe throughout the trip, and he regularly shared his extensive knowledge on fauna, flora, kenyan customs, traditions, and language. He was fantastic with my kids.
Due to our limited budget we stayed at basic tented accommodations either very close to park entrances, or just inside. All were fine and offered great surroundings, you felt in the middle of wilderness being woken up by exotic birds.
The itinerary sold on paper was fully respected, we really got our money’s worth. Everything went smooth and perfect.
Needless to say I highly recommend this operator to any western tourist looking for value for money, safety, and comfort. We feel lucky we chose Wild race over the plethora of other operators in Kenya.

FELT LIKE TOURISTS IN OUR OWN COUNRTY.
I can not really compare the services given by wild race Africa to no other vacation company in the country .Yes ,you might be thinking because Kenya is a third world country it has less experiences in terms of having fun as to other first and second world countries,but what i really saw,taught was more than what i expected.
i had just got back from Navo scotia,sydney,Canada from pursuing my studies and thought why should i not give myself a vacation to relax and explore my own country.
A friend of mine chose to travel with me immediately she heard i was going for a Kenyan adventure.
i was delighted to contact wildraceafrica since it was always an option for my family back here.
Simon was our communications specialist and i loved his quick way to answer on to emails and night calls for responses to our questions.He got our back when he decided to show up before and after the trip for advises and cautions to mostly take in to.
we visited a large part of Samburu national park which most people tend to ignore.we had such great fun,and the best part of it was spying on a pride on lions looking out for prey.The accommodation at the Samburu Sopa lounge was interesting as well.From a full body massage which was really budget friendly to a quiet time at a pool as the sun went down.
we really take this time and thank all the support we got from wildraceafrica for a good experience back in our own country
we really felt like tourists in our own country for the first time in a long time.
All was excellent
Communication was very fast. Our manager Simon gave us a different variant for our choice. We had different variants for accommodation and prices. Simon did a good offer for our budget. Our guide Obama is realy professional guide. We saw a lot of great places and saw all big 5 for 2 days.

Beautiful safari, easy booking
I booked a five days Tanzania safari and booking was very smooth and easy. Simon patiently and timely provided all the information I requested. It was a joining group safari with lodge accommodation. The safari was done by Tanzanian branch, all logistics worked perfectly even taking into the account the fact that our group changed a bit in the middle of the trip and that other people in the car were doing camping option. The company also told me that I can choose any starting day and any safari option and they will accommodate it.
The safari itself included visits to four national parks in the North of Tanzania: Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw plenty of animals, saw big five, all five days were exciting and amazing. The parks are very different and each is very special. Lodges which were booked for me were great. The pick up and drop off from/to airport were also included and were on time, in clean nice cars and with good driver.
The entire experience was very positive.

Well organised, nice accommodation and food, the safari trip is incredible!
Perfect 4-day trip to Masai Mara for my partner and I. We saw everything except the rare black rhino. Best bit was seeing a leopard climb up a tree to eat its kill. Balloon trip is well worth the extra price. Mara Sopa lodge accommodation is fantastic and not far from the park entrance. Food is fine. Obama is a very knowledgeable guide and was very accommodating to our requests. Simon responded to all my emails in a quick fashion before the trip and also called me afterwards to check how the trip went. You travel around in a 10-seater Nissan safari van with a pop-up roof. Really useful to be picked up from Nairobi hotel and dropped off at airport. I would highly recommend Wild Race Africa!

Great team
Simon and his team ensure that you get best experience when you are with them. This was my second visit with them and I am sure my third visit will also be with them.

Great Kenya Safari
My girfriend and I went on a Kenya Safari with Wild Race Africa Safari in September 2014 and just get back from holiday. We started to organise a Kenya Safari more than one month before leaving home. We communicated with Mr. Simon Milambo over e-mail, and I must say that each time he responded rapidly and answered all the questions. We choose 6-day Safari in Masai-Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Mr. Simon explained the whole program in detail inclouding places where we will sleep and eat. He was opened to our suggestions, because we wanted a mix between buget and mid-range accomodations. We negotiated for a price and than paid 30% via PayPal. When we arrived in Nairobi a driver was waiting for us, like promised and took us to the hotel. The next day we met Mr. Simon and started a long drive to Masai-Mara and even went on a short game drive there. Masai-Mara was great and thanks to a great guide/driver Mr. Fred we saw many animals, even the rare leopard. We were in the van with 5 other persons, witch was a bit crowded, but we managed. Try to organise your Safari with less, like 6 person maximum if you can. I would say 4 people per car is optimum. Mr. Fred spoke very good English and explaind many things about wildlive in general. He answered all of our questions, stoped the car everytime we asked and was flexible for our suggestions on the way. I would recommend Mr. Fred to anyone going to Safari in Kenya. We stayed in Wildbeast Camp and it was OK for two nights, staying longer could be a problem, since it is more basic accomodation, but nice people there. There were less people in the van in Lake Nakuru and Amboseli so it was better. I would recommend accomondation in Kibo Safari in Amboseli were it was very nice. Lake Nakuro accomnondatoin was nice too. If you are planing the same Safari think twice before going to Amboseli. Do not get me wrong Amboseli was very nice, with Kili view, we saw 5 cheetah family there and lots of other animals and the eviroment is very nice and different than in Masai-Mara or Lake Nakuru, more dry - desert like almost, but we spent almost a full day driving there from Lane Nakuru and than half a day driving back to Nairobi. And in Amboseli we didn't see any animals we haven't already saw in Masai-Mara or Lake Nakuru. So top priority must be Masai-Mara, than Lake Nakuru for flamingos and rihnos and than Amboseli for a diferent eviroment and view of Kili. To end our adventure in Kenya we got a free 4 hour guided tour in Nairobi before we got on the plane. I would recommend Mr. Simon and Wild Race Africa Safari as your organizer for Safari in Kenya. I hope you will enjoy as we did!
