Knowledgeable guides and attentive safaris
West Wild is an excellent local operator—especially convenient and friendly for Chinese travelers. They offer warm, professional guides and well-organized itineraries. We were very satisfied with this trip.
【Communication】
Communicating with 【West Wild（犀野境）】 was extremely easy. The owner, Mr. Wang, is Chinese, and the company also has Chinese-speaking customer service. As Chinese travelers, this made things very convenient—we could communicate directly in a WeChat group instead of relying on low-efficiency email or apps Chinese travelers rarely use. Mr. Wang and the service team always replied quickly and, more importantly, actually solved problems.
【Service】
West Wild’s service was excellent. From itinerary design through the end of the trip, Mr. Wang handled our questions quickly and efficiently. Our guide in Tanzania, **Mr. Alfred**, was especially professional. He has broad, in-depth knowledge of the savannah, wildlife, and local culture; we learned in conversation that he holds a bachelor’s degree in a safari-related field. He answered every question expertly and even kept two wildlife encyclopedias in the vehicle—while explaining, he would quickly find the relevant entries to deepen the discussion. Throughout our time in Tanzania he took great care of us: he cleaned the 4×4 thoroughly every day, inside and out, and even kept an air freshener in the car. We really appreciated these touches.
【Value for Money】
Our trip ran from July 27 to August 7, routing Kenya → Tanzania → Kenya. The cost was USD 4,500 per person for four people (flights excluded), and there were no additional charges during the journey. Accommodation was consistently good—TRADE MARK, Moyo Camp, KENZAN, OLDEANI, KIBO SAFARI CAMP, etc.—so we felt the overall value was strong.
【Reliability】
West Wild proved to be a reliable local safari operator, with each step of the itinerary well arranged. There was one minor hiccup: on one night in the Serengeti, customer service sent Alfred the wrong Kenzan property (Kenzan operates two camps there). Even so, Alfred still got us to the correct camp in time, and this did not affect our impression of the trip.
【The Safari Itself】
It was fantastic! Our guide in Kenya was Mr. James, and in Tanzania it was Mr. Alfred—both were warm and highly professional. They showed us all the animals we hoped to see and consistently secured great viewing positions. That said, as a Tanzania-based operator, West Wild’s service in Tanzania was even better than in Kenya. While Mr. James (who guided us at Lake Elmenteita and the Maasai Mara) was excellent—knowledgeable, humorous, and talkative—our experience with another Kenyan guide, Mr. J (also named James, who took us to Amboseli), was not as good. His English was more limited with a heavier accent, and he came across as less enthusiastic and less talkative.

Precise and accurate
The travel agency's communication was smooth, and the itinerary was well-organized, with no unnecessary or unreasonable arrangements. Each day was just the right amount of time for both fun and rest. The overall experience was luxurious, but the price was right. Food, accommodation, and transportation were all excellent.

It’s a wonderful journey! Everyone is happy. Really professional!
Seeing what kind of animals is very much a matter of luck, but a professional team can greatly increase your chances of seeing animals. The entire process was smooth communication. Although no problems were encountered in the middle, they would promptly ask if there was anything that needed to be coordinated. This was a very professional performance. I recommended the company to every friend and relative around me who was interested in traveling to Tanzania. It was really great.

Responsible and friendly
The entire communication process and the journey were very pleasant. If you are also preparing for the battle at the last minute and have not done your homework in advance, it is no problem to find him. He will help you sort out the itinerary, choose the right accommodation, and ask about the schedule experience every day. Highly recommended

The travel agency is highly responsible, communicating promptly to resolve issues.
KANTI, our guide - driver, is simply amazing! His communication is top - notch. When I mentioned loving cheetah cubs, he promptly made it happen—we found a mother cheetah with adorable babies smoothly. His service? Outstanding! With a “sixth sense” for spotting animals, we saw rare rhinos and he caught every tiny grass movement. The tour's value for money is unbeatable. He has superb driving skills—no issues at all, even when others had car troubles. Reliability? He’s always punctual. And the tour itself? Getting close to animals (while respecting them) for great photos—totally professional. This travel agency hits all the right notes with KANTI on board!

nice trip and staff。The guide and staff were very caring and patient. A great trip.
Basically there is no problem. If it is for Chinese tourists, you can ask the tour guide to learn more Chinese common animal names or daily words. Of course our guide will point them out.

West Wild is very good travel agency thanks for Mr Wang arranging such an interesting trip for us.
The pleasant trip to Tanzania is over. I feel that time has passed so quickly. I was a little worried before coming because it was my first time in Africa. But the moment I met the tour guide, my concerns were dispelled. He was very warm and friendly to us. I am very grateful to Xiyejing for arranging the itinerary. The Safari was very interesting, but I also regretted that I didn't see the hunting moment. I will come again next time
