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!

The best and unforgettable holiday ever!
We used Wildebeest Safaris in 2009 to arrange our trip to Kenya and Tanzania for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and to go on a safari in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti Parks. Noah Kuti met us in Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, waited for us while we did vaccination against yellow fever on arrival directly in the airport, and transferred us to Arusha, where we spent one night in hotel before climbing Kilimanjaro. Wildebeest Safaris arranged our accommodation and provided us with guides both for Kilimanjaro and safari. Everything was ok. We recommended Wildebeest Safaris to our friends and can recommend it to you.
12 Days Tour - Kenya + Tanzania
Out East Africa experience was a total success, mostly due to the time spent in open conversations - before, during and after - with the experts of Wildebeest.
The distance at some point (Colombia and Kenya) was not an issue to get all the answers, tips and arrangements.
We always received in timely manner the explanations before our trip. This was our fist sign of total confidence and trust from Noah and his team that were real all along the Kenya+Tanzania journeys
During the time spent in our 12 days trip we always made good interactions with our excellent and always smiley guide Mike.
His conversations, his insights, his knowledge, the details shared, his instructions were always present during day and night. Lack of information was never an issue.
Diversity, good food, excellent accomodation and a little bit of adventure here and there made our best trip ever
I truly and sincere recommend both Kenya+Tanzani trip and Wildeebeest Safaris Company

Wildebeest Safaris is reliable company with experienced guides who make you memorable safari
We visited many nature parks in Kenya and Tansania and spent most nights in tents. Our cook made us very delicious food and guides Dennis and Mike filled all our wishes. We met big five and many other birds and animals and made fantastic photos. Mike told so many interesting facts and stories about animals. It was interesting to visit local tribes and to communicate with local people. I recommend to choose Wildebeest Safaris and they make you the best safari.

Worth the money
I never thought it would be so difficult to choose a safari company for travel in Africa. You can literally find hundreds of options for companies offering you their services in Kenya and Tanzania, most of them on the high budget range. If you think airfares are the most expensive part of your trip you better think it again.
After weeks of research I came across Wildebeest Safaris Ltd (based in Nairobi, Kanya ) and asked for some more info about a private 5-day Northern Tanzania Safari package. They can always customize packages according to your needs but this safari thing was completely new to me so I found it easier to go with this suggestion, so we choose them for our Tanzania holidays.
The owner gave me a prompt reply and after exchanging some emails it was all clear to me and the price was the best I could find for an established company.
What I know is that you can decide how much luxury you want and it will be reflected on higher prices. For a safari I only needed a good car, a great driver and a decent camp or lodge. We had a good LandCruiser, a nice, knowledgeable Tanzanian driver and decent and beautiful clean lodges/camps in Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
So, if you go for Wildebeest Safaris ask for a private car, for what we saw and heard there’s nothing worse than being packed on a pop-up roof car for 5 (or more) hours a day going around circles with a grumpy driver and seeing nothing at the end.
This is a good company and it looks like the owner is working all the time to give a good service; I definitely recommend you to contact him.
