Wild Destinations provided personal, trustworthy service, catering to our specific needs.
I really liked the personal service and felt confident I was given all potential options based on what I requested. I also appreciated the flexibility as circumstances/interests changed leading up to and during our trip. Another thing I liked was that I could put together my own trip…ala carte…and not be bound by pre-packaged itineraries—all at a reasonable price.

The most reliable, friendly, hospitable safari operator that pays attention to every detail.
I have always booked my safaris to various safari parks in Kenya and Tanzania through Wild Destnations and will never use any other. In their guest book, I always said I would return and I did. Since moving to the U.S., I have not been able to make it back for various reasons, but look forward to going back to enjoy the hospitality of Shaheen and Fareen who always go that extra mile. So Shaheen and Fareen, don't tell me I didn't warn you!
Exactly what we wanted and on budget
Can't say enough good things about our experience. Excellent service, great suggestions and really went above and beyond for us. Have recommended them to friends and they always deliver.
A great experience in Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara
Wild Destinations was recommended to us by a friend who lives in Nairobi and everything turned out the way it had been promised. A nice car, a good English speaking guide, locations and venues/camps that were as promised, and generally very friendly, responsive and reliable. The owners even had a lunch with us on our last day in Nairobi before we headed to the airport - very courteous and helpful. Would recommend to anyone who wants to go on safari in Kenya.

Excellent service, efficient, timely and professional.
We booked our entire trip to Kenya and Zanzibar from Canada. Wild Destinations assisted us with every aspect - taxi from airport to B&B, safari planning, local excursions and accommodations for the 3 weeks we were there. We communicated by email and skype to get everything in order - information, bookings and payment was all done efficiently, timely and securely. The entire trip exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to travel to Kenya again. I would highly recommend Wild Destinations for their professionalism and excellence.
Excellent service and magical weekend!
Shaheen from Wild Destinations organised the most amazing trip for my friend and I to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. We contacted the company only the day before but they still arranged our hotel and visit so quickly. Our guide Felix was wonderful; very friendly and knowledgeable. We almost booked a guide for Ol Pejeta and the staff themselves said we didn't one as Felix knows the park so well. I'm glad we listened to them! I would definitely recommend Wild Destinations and hope to use them again soon!

North Mara- Excellent for wildlife viewing
I wanted to visit Masai Mara but did not have adequate time to sift internet to decide which part of Masai Mara to visit to get best wild life viewing experience. I relied on my colleague's reference of Wild Destinations to arrange my visit.
After several prompt emails- I was guided to select North Mara and on hotels, I got three suggestions- Serian, Saruni and Kicheche camps and in consultation I chose Saruni. Right from touchdown at North Mara airstrip, we started seeing hyena, worthogs, bisons, wildbeast, zebras, gazels, ziraffes. Our driver Dickson, a native masai took all interest in ensuring that we sighted the elusive lion- and that too from close quarters of 10 ft on 3 occasions. A good number of elephants, jackals, mangoose, jackals were sighted. We had breakfast on the banks of Mara river where hippos and crocodiles were sunbathing.We also visited Rhino camp where Rhinos were introduced about 3-4 years back.
Inhabitating along with wildlife were the Masais - original inhabitants of the place. It was great to see the Masais and wildlife co-existng peacefully. The vast expansive plains of Mara along with bright sunshine and cool weather - I cannot ask for more.
Our stay at Saruni was excellent. They were so courteous and prompt. Service standards, punctuality, warmth and attention to details, room upkeep - 10/10.
Thanks to Shaheen of Wild Destinations, Eddy and Dickson of Saruni- it was a very relaxing, rejuvinating holiday- at Mara North - probably as nature existed few centuries back.

Most incredible trip of our lives
Wild Destinations was incredible from beginning to end. Our Kenyan safari vacation is the best trip we have ever taken thanks to the great accommodations, fantastic guide and driver, and excellent itinerary planning. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a hassle-free trip. They think of everything which meant that we could relax and enjoy our trip.

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 :)
