Professional, prompt and accommodating!
From day 1 Wildebeest Safari was helpful. Noah provided us with the peace of mind needed before we flew out from our home destination to Nairobi. Once we arrived we were in the hands of our tour driver Eustace who for 4 days showed us the most memorable and unforgettable sights with gracious hospitality. I highly recommend Wildebeest Safari, as a first timer to Kenya, they made me want to be back!

Guide is extremely knowlegedable, knows where to go, sharp + good sense of humor
The guide Hansa has a broad knowledge about Mother Nature, not just the animals. He is able to spot them before you see them under almost 180 degrees. he's very patient and stay at a place when you want it. On top he is very flexibel with respect to wishes of his clients. And the last important thing is, he has a good sense of humor - quite important when you go on vacation!
All in all, we had an extremely pleasant experience with Hansa
An amazing 5 days...
We booked a 5 day private lodge safari taking in Lake Manyara, Serengheti, Ngorongoro. We chose Wilderbeest after trailing through online reviews of safari operators & I have to say that our choice was the right one. We found the booking process easy & communication with Noah was always straightforward. Our guide was informative & helpful & we had an amazing 5 days. I would add that the Serena lodges were incredible & the views from our room balconies were just fantastic, if I had to choose it would be the view at the Serena Ngorongoro.. Out of this world! lots & lots of photos, stacks of great memories. I would definitely choose Wilderbeest again as everything ran like clockwork with zero problems. An amazing trip

Kenya-Tanzania 12 day safari
Noah, the owner of Wildebeest Safaris, was quick to respond to pre-safari questions and his information proved to be accurate. The itinerary that we developed together was very active, as we were trying to visit many different habitats in a short space of time. Given that, we had transfers almost everyday, crossed the K-T border twice, and a new hotel every night. The logistics were flawless. Our two guides Dennis (Kenya) and Hamsa (Tanzania), spoke good English, were very accommodating, and knew their wildlife. The trucks are not the newest, but they get the job done effectively. I will be using Wildebeest Safaris next year when I return with a university group. Thanks Noah, Dennis and Hamsa!

One of the Best Experiences I Have Ever Had
This safari was affordable and more than lived up to mine and my wife's expectations. Every safari lodge stay was beautiful, every game drive was wonderful with *so many* animals to see, the people we met were friendly, the weather was perfect; it really was a beautiful experience. We had Dennis as our driver and he was extremely friendly, professional, very informative, easy to talk to, organized and on time -- and a heck of a good driver.
I would recommend this outfit to anyone as they operate like a well-oiled machine. When I first started planning the trip, I was in contact with Noah and he was also very professional and extremely prompt with responses and very helpful with getting things set up. Additionally, regardless of the areas visited, I felt safe in the company of my driver and felt he was looking out for our well-being.
Things you should be prepared for: long drives on lots of bumpy roads; lots of (sometimes very pushy) salesman at many of your stops; have lots of cash for the potential extras, which can be very worth it but can be heavy on the pocket-book, especially if you're not carrying a lot of cash; additionally, have cash for souvenirs because you'll be wanting to buy or talked into buying at least a few; bring at least two different ways (i.e. cards) to acquire cash in the event one of the bank ATMs eats your card [thanks Barclay's].

Amazing and friendly
In order to find a word to define our Kenya & Tanzania expierence, i think it is extraordinary!!!!
Because it includes de places selected we visited, the crew of Wildebeest Safaris, the food, the lodges, crews on lodges, the season on parks, the trucks.... you now, everything was perfect!!!!!
But i point the Wildebeest Safaris crew in a special place. Both Peter (in Kenya) and Hamza (in Tanzanya) were very good men!!!!
They were at all time resolving every thing necesary to enjoy the safari. We´ve felt so glad because that and all efforts to this.
The lodges selected were very good, and prices corrects. Both Kenya and Tanzanya people is so friendly so we´ve been very comfortable. And food and beverage was excellent.
I would like to repeat the experience!!!!
Thank you very much!!
King Regards,

Muchísimas gracias por toda la atención que nos han brindado en nuestro safari por las tierras de Kenia y Tanzania. Todo estuvo mejor de lo esperado. Excelente la atención de los guías (Peter y Hamza), siempre bien dispuestos a todo lo que necesitábamos, con mucha cordialidad y calidez.
Excelente la selección de los lodges que estaban incluidos, no solo desde lo confortable de cada uno, sino que también eran muy buena la atención en cada uno de ellos, al mismo tiempo que los servicios de restaurantes brindados.
Las camionetas Land Cruiser se comportaron muy bien, acorde lo esperado.
Me resultó impecable la elección de los parques visitados, que fueron increíbles, por su belleza geográfica, las formaciones boscosas y la cantidad de animales, que hacían fácil llevarse buenas fotografías y filmaciones. Pude ver todos los animales, a excepción de serpientes (MEJOR!!!). AJAJAJAJJA
Muchísimas gracias nuevamente Noah, y espero podamos tener la dicha de volver otra vez a estas tierras!!!!
Cordialmente,
Melchor y Cecilia Hereu (Argentina)

They made us have an unforgettable African mountaineering expedition experience!!!
If you accept that you're not in Europe or USA, are flexible with timing and can live the Hakuna Matata pace of African life, then this is an affordable, excellent, reliable organization. Our contact person was Noah Kuti, he was extremely friendly and flexible in his schedule (we had to (last minute) postpone our trip because one of our family members was sick-no problem!). Although we sometimes we worried whether it all worked out, he gave us his word to reimburse some money that we paid too much in advance, and he kept it! (albeit, as said, the Hakuna Matata way, several weeks later).
We went with a family of 5 up Kilimanjaro, whiskey route, so we got some 15 porters, 3 guides and one cook. They took really good care of us, two of us suffered altitude sickness at the last camp, and they made sure those two descended safe and sound. The other three made it to the top and were thrilled about reaching it. Just make sure you have enough dollars, you need all that cash, and we discovered you can virtually endlessly tap it in small portions (around 300 USD per take) from money machines, so you end up with a whole pile of bills, and probably a phone call from the credit card company who suspects that you have been robbed... Those bills come out fine when proparing the tip for the porters, we gave each indivudual an envelop with their tip, worked out very well. In hindsight...well, as this was one of the cheapest organisers don't expect bungalowtents, and actually for me (1.92 m tall) the small tent in the mud was sometimes a stretch, as was the cold wind that blew straight through it (invest in warm sleeping bags!!!) All in all, I would choose them again fir a next adventure!

Unforgettable East African Safari
Going on a safari was a very singular experience and unlike any trip we've ever done so far. We were very happy to have booked with Wildebeest Safaris. Noah, the proprietor, was very easy to talk to and, while planning for the trip, I had to make several changes in the itinerary and hotel bookings in consideration of the time and the chance to visit all the places in our very long list. Noah was very flexible and he made all the changes without complaint. Our focus on this trip was to be the Great Migration of wildebeest, and we weren't disappointed. Our guides took us to all the best places with the highest chances of witnessing this phenomenon. Our guides were Dennis and Hamza, both very friendly and easy to get along with, and very patient in answering all our questions about the animals and ecosystem in all the parks we visited. We were also very pleased with the accommodations, as they booked us in the best hotels suited to our budget. We were also able to spot all the Big 5, with the help of our very experienced tour guides.

Excellent safari in Kenya & Tanzania
We did 11-days Nakuru/Naivasha/Masai Mara /Serengeti/Ngorongoro/Manyara/Tarangire/Amboseli tour. This safari in Kenya and Tanzania was our first, and it exceeded all our expectations. Noah Kuti and his team did a great job. We loved every aspect of our tour. Everything went very smoothly and was very well organized. The accommodation was wisely selected to cover variety of lodges, resorts and tented camps in both central (and crowded with fellow tourists) and more remote (quiet and exclusive) parts of the parks. We liked the diversity. The tour route was planned very well. Some of the parks we chose ourselves, but additional recommendations from Noah were spot on. And I just need to tell you about our guides. They were amazing. Especially our guide in Kenya Ronnie, very knowledgeable and sharing our passion for photography. We saw the Big 5 in first three days with him, numerous spotting of rhinos, cats hunting, kills, cats with cubs, etc. I have some 5000 photos from the trip. Thanks guys! I can definitely recommend the Wildebeest Safaris Ltd to everyone who is looking for an excellent safari experience.
And of course the parks themselves were truly beautiful. Exceptional scenic beauty and wildlife in abundance. We would love to come back someday!
