Incredible, bucket list trip for sure!
This trip met all of my expectations and more. Wild Destinations (Shaheen and Faheen) were incredible and so personable. We feel like they are friends for life! They both responded timely and accurately to my questions. We stayed at Fairmont which also was incredible. We stayed in tents that were just as nice as a five star resort! During our safari, Jonathan being our guide found every animal on the mara! He answered all of our questions and told us about things we didn't even know to ask. Just incredible. We WILL be back!

Trip of a lifetime with exceptional service and attention to detail
We traveled with a group of over 50 people, ranging in age from 5 years to over 60. The experience with Wild Destinations was outstanding. They took care of everything, including our accommodations in London prior to our arrival in Nairobi. When we arrived in Nairobi, late at night and after a delayed flight, they were there at the airport to greet us and take us to our hotel. They thoughtfully provided each of our party with welcome gifts and explained everything to prepare us for our journey into the Mara. The lodging they arranged was 5-star. The tents were better than most hotel rooms I have stayed in and the food was incredible. The game drives each day were exciting and fun. My children are 11, 7 and 5. Even the 5 year old never once complained of being tired or bored while on the drives. Just yesterday he told me he was sad that we are not still in Kenya. I can't say enough about all the details and special arrangements Wild Destinations made on behalf of our group. Everyone had an amazing time and plans to return. If you are traveling to Kenya, no matter if this is your first trip or one of many, you must use Wild Destinations.

Great Experience
Wild Destinations handled a safari we recently took. Everything went perfectly. Travelling such a distance with a large group of people can end up disastrous and we had mishaps along the way that were outside the control of Wild Destinations - but they even helped with things that were not within their control (flight issues from the US to London and lost luggage etc.),
Once we landed in Nairobi everything was perfect. We had transport from the airport, smooth check in at hotel, transfer to the Mara, and the camp selected was perfect. This was all so much beyond my expectations! (Also the Fairmont Mara Safari Camp is spectacular.)

Masai Mara Safari
Shaheen and Farheen far exceeded our expectations on this Safari adventure. Having never been on a Safari, we were apprehensive and uncertain about expectations. We were blown away with our accomodations, food, safari rides and the special "surprises" they set up for us each day. Can you imagine going on an amazing safari ride in the Mara, thinking you are heading home, driving around some bushes to see a fire, a full bar and appetizers awaiting you to enjoy and watch the sun go down? This is just an example of one of our unexpected surprises. I saw more animals and lions, that I could have hoped for! Our children felt safe and we were completely comfortable letting them roam the property we stayed whenever we weren't on safari. I cannot say enough great things about this safari vacation and about Shaheen, Farheen and Wild Destinations. This is a bucket list item you'll never forget.

Their excellence just cannot be described in one sentence so I won't even try.
I have been doing safaris arranged by them for about 20 years and every single time have they not just lived up to expectations, they have excelled themselves every single time with their professionalism, personal involvement and setting the bar higher for themselves each time. One just cannot describe the experience and the only way to truly appreciate and understand it, is to go and experience it yourself. Shaheen and Fareen are exceptional at what they do and never cease to amaze me with their ability to make your journey more enjoyable each time. The first time I went on a safari with them, I had written in their visitors' book that I would be back. I did mean it at the time, but had no idea that I would write the same thing every time thereafter and much less that I would honour my word every time which I did! In closing, I was there last month with a party of 50+ people and each and every one of them was fascinated by what they saw and I am sure most of them will return just as I did. As for me, I can't wait to get back! So Shaheen and Fareen, don't tell me I didn't warn you.

A trip beyond our wildest expectations!!
Sunstreet Mortgage does an all inclusive paid trip for its top Ten sales staff and their significant others each year and for 2017 the destination was Safari in Kenya provided we met certain sales goals. Having had a fantastic experience with Wild Destinations to plan my honey moon to the Masai Mara 12 years before, naturally I dropped an email to Shaheen and Fareen in Jan (a little late to arrange a trip for 52 people in June). Having given them a short timeframe to work with I knew it was best to stay out of he way and leave it to the experts at Wild Destinations to work their majic. All I can say is boy did they deliver! As a few people in our group put it
"it was an epic trip that went like clockwork". The attention to detail was incredible. The camp was first class the game drives incredible each day had a surprise planned for the group beyond our imagination culminating in a 5 star bonfire dinner in the bush along with our own Masai dance. Wild Destinations made for a bucket list trip and Shaheen and Fareen saw to it that we had memories that would last a lifetime. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We left Kenya not only with brilliant memories but friendships that will last a lifetime.

They went above and beyond to make our trip truly epic.
Shaheen and Faheen did an outstanding job and I would recommend them to anyone. In addition to doing a fantastic job with our whole group, they are so friendly and personable that they became instant friends.
Great trip!
Wild Destinations asked generally where I wanted to take my family, the timeline, and the price range. Then they arranged everything, from flights to lodging to transportation. Normally on these types of trips, I play tour guide because I live in the area. But because Wild Destinations had taken care of everything, I could relax and enjoy the trip with my family! Also, the tour guides and lodging that they set me up with were all great!

Best Drivers in the City
Booking with Wild Destinations was incredibly easy - as our company sends teams each year to Kenya this company came highly recommended as a result of strong and consistent service. It was only a matter of sharing all dates and location requirements and we were booked almost immediately.
Upon arriving in Kenya the team was not sure what to expect but met with John and Moses for the first time. They were immediately friendly, professional and willing to humor us and teach us a few token Swahili words. By the end of the week the entire team was emotional saying goodbye. Moses and John became fast friends, consistently reliable, always early and always with a smile on their face. They went above and beyond during our time in the city and by the end, each team member could say a dozen things in Swahili. It was nice to have consistent drivers because we felt safe and were able to establish a rhythm. They were constantly looking out for us and I know for a fact that under whatever context I travel to Nairobi next, I will give them a call to at least have dinner with them but definitely to book for any driving needs. Best city safari I've ever had :)
