He was the most knowledgeable guide we had at any safari we went to. Highly highly recommended.
John was very knowledgeable, thorough. Left no trail untouched to find the perfect spot on our game drives. He would spend hours making our drive the best it can be. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you John for the amazing time we had.

Great Safari Experience
We spent 5 days and 4 nights in the Maasai Mara with Mr. John. We had an amazing experience. He was extremely knowledgable about the park and the animals. He anticipated where the animals would be next and would place the Land Cruiser there, so we would be in the best position for photos.
He was able also to gather information about where the animals were and get us to them. We had nearly two dozen lion sightings over four days with many of them by ourselves as Mr. John took us to more remote areas of the park. We even saw a very rare leopard due to intel he was able to gather.
We cannot recommend this company enough!

Paul Kimani was the best tour operator by far. He was So knowledgeable! And also a lot of fun!
Request Paul Kimani as your tour operator and you will not be disappointed! He knew everything about every animal, but also was very fun and always kept everyone engaged in the conversations. So happy and fun to be around, fantastic, 10 out of 10.

Experience to remember!
We booked safari trip for 6 day. We visited few different national parks and Paul designed our trip so we get full safari experience with museums, parks, Masai villages and view points with the best views of nature and animals.
Paul was a great company though the whole trip and his knowledge helped us to understand all the nature’s wonders and Africa’s magic. He made sure I see all the big five ❤️ and I am grateful for that as I captured the most amazing picture which you see just in travel magazines ( even though I am not a photographer 😂)
We could not wish for a better experience, we would highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have safari experience where every minute is exciting. 🦒🐘🦩

Amazing & Professional.perfect balance of luxury and pocket freinsly.
We want to sincerely thank John, our safari driver and guide from BetaWild Safaris, for giving us an absolutely incredible experience during our 9 days adventure. From start to finish, John was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to making our trip unforgettable.
His ability to spot wildlife was remarkable .we were amazed at how often he helped us see animals we’d never have noticed on our own. He was also incredibly patient and accommodating, always happy to make extra stops, turn the vehicle around for a better view, and cater to our family’s many requests. His friendly demeanor and professionalism made us feel safe, relaxed, and completely taken care of.
We also want to commend BetaWild Safaris for delivering such a well balanced experience combining comfort and luxury with budget friendly planning. The entire trip was organized seamlessly, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail and thought that went into every part of the itinerary.
We highly recommend BetaWild Safaris to anyone looking for a personalized, high quality safari experience
With gratitude,
