Fantastic experience, Incredible value
Our safari with Wildebeest Safaris exceeded our expectations. The variety of wildlife we were able to see on our 10 Day Kenya and Tanzania trip was astounding. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and worked hard to solve problems when they did arise. Considering what we paid for our trip versus what other tour operators quoted, I am shocked at the high quality of our experience. They even put us into a luxury resort for Valentines Day to our surprise. There is some room for improvement with the communication. Providing some additional pre-trip information would help, and we were twice left wondering where our driver was when he had vehicle troubles. These were minor troubles in comparison to an overall fantastic trip.

Our first safari - but not our last - amazing country, amazing widlife, fabulous guide!
We took advice from friends and booked a private tour. Wildebeest Safaris were fantastic from start to finish! We visited 4 parks, drove to each one - great way to see the real Kenya. Our guide Eustus was extremely knowledgeable about everything Kenyean and his love for his country and its wildlife was infectious. The accomodations were excellent and our vehicle had good and comfortable seats - it is worth paying the extra for a comfortable car - you spend many hours in those seats! Highly recommend this company on all levels.

Excellent experience with knowledgable guide!
We recently visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli with them on a private safari for two. The vehicle (landcruiser) and guide provided were excellent. Noah is so quick to respond and was so catering to every little query I had which was what first attracted me to hiring them. Our driver and guide Eustace was very experinced and a bag of fun! Ours was a very last minute trip inspite of which they booked decent places and made sure everything was perfect. i will definetely plan my next tour to east Africa with them!

Wonderful Experience
We decided to go on a private safari for our honey-moon and after looking around we decided to go with Wildebeest Safaris.
We were very happy with our choice and would surely do it again. In 6 days, we visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro and Tarangire just at the end of the dry season and had the opportunity to see literally thousands of animals (including all the big five). We stayed mostly in tented lodges, one night in tented camp and 1 in a resort in Ngoro-Ngoro (we definitely enjoyed more the night in tents/tented lodges than the proper resort..). Our guide, Hamza, was extremely helpful and flexible. He knows very well all the parks and animals' behaviour, so we were able to find a great variety of animals. We would surely recommend Wildebeest Safaris to anyone looking for a truly great experience. The company is not very big and when we decided to book we had a number of e-mails with Noah, who was quick in replying and gave us a variety of options to choose between. Really pleased with the company and the guide. Highly recommended!

Great way to explore Aftica
The preparation period was very smooth; all our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The tour went as planned, great accommodations, food and reliability. We did not need to worry about anything, including supply of water bottles. Our two guides, one in Kenya and one in Tanzania, were excellent drivers and took good care of us. They answered most of our multiple questions, but I wish they were telling us more on their own: about nature, places and local people. When I cam home and read some of the facts that were omitted, I wished I knew them when I was looking at those particular animals or plants or places.

excellent experience
This was our first safari and without doubt Wildebeest Safaris is instrumental in making this trip a big success. The accommodation was good and Dennis our tour guide took all the efforts to show us maximum wildlife. We found the rates of Wildebeest Safaris reasonable and our interaction with Noah very positive. we definitely recommend this safari operator to all. I am sure Noah will go an extra mile to accommodate customers requirement. Overall an excellent experience and excellent safari operator. Bon Voyage!!

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].

We had an incredible safari experience
Our tour guide Titus helped us have the very best safari experience. My wife and I wanted to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary in a special way and I’m glad that we did. Everything was perfect, from our initial pickup from Titus who was incredibly kind and patient. He also conducted our game drives and was incredibly knowledgeable. We saw all the animals we wanted to see. Our lodging at Zebra Plains Mara Camp was lovely as well. I would recommend booking with Wildebeest Safaris for anyone.

Excellent tour guide who chose excellent accommodation
I went on a 4 centre safari planned totally by myself. This consisted of Nairobi NP, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. I confirmed all the details with the operator to the minutest detail so there was no chance of any misunderstanding. This was primarily to ensure I received like for like quotes. The company clarified all my queries and provided a breakdown of prices. I was very satisfied with the responses received and the choices of accommodation at each location. These I checked via various review sites.
I was collected from the airport and taken to my hotel. The guides were all very informative and reliable. Denis was exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing time and saw all the animals and birds I wanted to see. I would strongly recommend Wildebeest Safaris, but like any holiday, it pays to confirm exactly what you want in detail. The company offer a competitive pricing policy whilst providing good accommodation at whatever price point and standard is requested.
The communication was good and payment made immediately prior to arrival via a secure payment system. Make sure payment is made using a credit card to ensure a degree of protection in Kenya.
All in all a positive experience and I would definitely use Wildebeest Safari's again for a self planned trip. Do your research and be detailed and I am sure you will benefit
