Awesome!
We booked a trip through Wild Destinations when we had family visiting us in Kenya. Wild Destinations was quick from the start in outlining all of our options in multiple price buckets. During the trip, we didn't worry about a thing. Wild Destinations had already communicated with all the lodging / airlines to make sure everything was set. This made for such an amazing vacation! Will definitely be using Wild Destinations again!

Very professional and reliable travel agent
Our family selected the "Quintessential -7 days" offered by Wild Destinations for traveling from June 27 through July 4, 2017. We really enjoyed this excellent safari program for not only the variety of animals we saw but also its tailer made unique services. Wild Destinations did an excellent job in coordinating our trip, answering our questions, arranging our activities and fulfilling our special needs. Their efforts made our trip connections from one place to another seamless and worry-free. This trip is one of the best vacations we have ever had in the past five years. It will be a life time memory for all of us. We appreciate the excellent service provided by Wild Destinations and will definitely recommend them to our friends.
The safari itself is also a wonderful experience. We love both Segera and Angama Mara. But to be more specific, we enjoyed our stay in Segera even more for its unique family style service and tailor made activities. We enjoyed Segera for its stunning wilderness and its excellent service. We enjoyed Angama Mara for its beautiful landscape and animal variety/quantity.

Everything was perfect no flaws and our guides were excellent
This was a wonderful experience Shaheen always communicated in a timely manner and was very helpful. The resort, safaris, staff, food and tour guides were all beyond a dream. It was perfect.

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.
