Great trip to Masai Mara
5/5

We did a four night safari trip in the end of March and were given great service from African Hartebeest Safaris troughout our whole trip experience.

During the sales process we allways got a timely and accurate respons. Beverlyn really works hard to keep her customers happy. We were also able to make an adjustment to the trip, adding an extra night at Basecamp Eagle View (hihly recommended).

Upon arrival in Nairobi we were met by our guide John and driven to the hotel for the night. John always kept control and had good answers to all our questions throughout the trip. He also had good knowledge about the wildlife during the safaris.

We would have no doubt about recommending African Hartebeest Safaris for your private safari trip.

I booked ahead of time so I could get a good price and this helped saved me a lot of money. Beverly was patient and hands-on, answering all my questions comprehensively.

Well done!
5/5

It was agreable to communicate with African Hartebeest while preparing a trip from Meru to Masai Mara. The drive itself was perfectly done, the guide an untiring driver and an expert. Even the last two days in a Masai concession of which I first had been wary proved to be thoroughly recommendable.
Thank you!

A calming experience
5/5

I would like to genuinely thank African Hartebeest Safaris, and especially Mary for such a lovely experience. Right from the start Mary was extremely helpful in planning the trip for me. She was always available on email and patiently answered all my queries. Being a single female traveler I was slightly apprehensive initially, but I realised I had nothing to worry about. African Hartebeest Safaris provided me with a fantastic driver who was an excellent guide (shoutout to David!!) and took care of everything at the hotel I was staying at.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience thanks to African Hartebeest Safaris!!!

A fabulous adventure
5/5

Our guide, Stevie, was excellent and very knowledgeable. He watched intently for opportunities to position us to get as close to the animals as possible. It was thrilling to see all the magnificent animals in person. Everyone should experience this!

Awesome service
5/5

I had just a few days available over the Eid holidays and wanted to try a short safari in Kenya. Beverlyn Imali of African Hartebeest Safaris found exactly what I was looking for and for the right price.
Beverlyn also went out of her way to personally take care of me while I was in Nairobi and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful person she is.
I would recommend their services to anyone and will definitely be my “go to” for all things Kenya.
Thanks again Beverlyn

Highly committed towards the traveller needs and comfort and a very trustworthy DMC
5/5

Beverlyn is not a DMC in Kenya anymore for us, she is become a most trustworthy business partner and a friend. She is very efficient, understands the requirements very well, gives us good fair price and most reliable DMC in this region.

African Haatebeest, a great Tour operator
5/5

Our holiday was coordinated by Beverly Akivaga. This lady is a legend, she can do it all.
When my wife and I were hoping to combine a business trip with a 30th Anniversary holiday through Kenya (the place of our honeymoon) and Tanzania, we wanted to use an African owned business. We were recommended to try African Hartebeest. We found them to be an incredibly thorough and thoughtful tour operator.
We asked for a packed agenda and Beverly delivered, in fact, she over delivered!
We wanted to do so many things and African Hartebeest were able to fit it all in but after consultation with Beverly, we realised we would not be able to really enjoy everything due to the time in between venues, you forget how huge Kenya is. We are sooo grateful that she steered us right, allowing us to relax and really enjoy our trip.
Over three weeks, we visited the great national parks in two countries; Amboseli, Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, the exquisite conservancy at Leopard Hill, and the luxurious relaxing beach resort at Diani Beach. From travel to my business meetings from Nairobi to northern Kenya, Beverly arranged it all for us. Even when we had a very late change of mind on one item (due to us being tired), Beverly took it in her stride and arranged at extremely short notice, an even better excursion out to a beautiful marine sanctuary which was even better than we had asked for.
Travelling with the wonderful Ed, (it would be an insult to just call him our guide), showed that he was incredibly knowledgeable about his country (Kenya), and equally knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife we came so far to see to see. Throughout the trip across two countries, Beverly arranged transport, drivers, collections, flights including ballooning across the Masai Mara at dawn (an absolute must, that we waited 33 years to do since missing out when visiting previously). We appreciated those little touches, from surprise anniversary celebrations and photographs at the resorts, chocolates and cute anniversary messages on the pillows in the rooms, the attention to detail was excellent.
For this personal service, the value for money and the absolute reliability of those tasked with taking care of us in our travels, we would return in a heartbeat, and definitely use African Hartebeest again.
We wish Beverly, Ed, and her dedicated team, all the best. Hopefully we'll be back rather sooner than 33 years.
