Great Safari Experience in Tanzania
5/5

We were a group of four people travelling to Tanzanias northern circuit on a 8-day safari beginning of September 2016. From our first contact to Wildebeest on Noah was very responsive and invested effort for us planning our safari individually. In the end we had a great time visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Everything went very smoothly, the money transfer was uncomplicated, the pick up from the airport was on time, the selected lodges were awesome and the safari vehicle was in a good condition. In addition we have to highlight Hamza our guide on this trip. He was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and made us enjoying every minute of the safari. Overall we can recommend Wildebeest to anyone who wants to visit this beautiful country. Thanks to Wildebeest and especially to our guide Hamza!

Great Excursion!
5/5

Wildebeest is a superb company! They came to the rescue when another person was unable to take us to the parks. The guide was kind, professional and knowledgeable. His peaceful and easy going demeanor made my party and me feel comfortable and secure. I highly recommend Wildebeest! They are fabulous at what they do.

Amazing Experience
5/5

We had an awesome experience with Wildebeest Safaris. I would highly recommend booking with them! Before the trip our emails were answered promptly and in detail. Everything that was promised on the itinerary was delivered-we were even upgraded on two camps. There were no hidden fees once we arrived. Everything was taken care of from transfers to and from the airports, food and lodging.

We visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and finished off with Zanzibar. The land in Africa is far more beautiful than we ever imagined. We were in constant awe of the landscape. Plus, the animals! We saw lions, black and white rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, thousands of zebra and wildebeest, hundreds of giraffes, plus so much more.

We found the guides to be very knowledgeable and friendly. We were never put in an environment in which we felt unsafe. They knew an extensive amount about the animals and interacted well during the game drives. They each spoke fluent English and were able to educate us on local customs, traditions and people as well as local wildlife.

I found the camps were always great and the workers very friendly. The food was always fantastic, the hospitality was amazing, and I felt very safe at each stop. With this being my first time in Africa, I will look back fondly on the places we stayed and our experiences at each tented camp and lodge.

Truly a once in a lifetime type of experience.

Fantastic experience, Incredible value
5/5

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!
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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!

Very helpful and friendly.
4/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Hamza of Wildebeest safari. He was knowledgable friendly and flexible. He was friendly with many of the other drivers as well which benefited us in terms of seeing so many animals we may well have missed. We managed to see all of the animals we had hoped and Hamza was very flexible in positioning the vehicle for best results in terms of photographs. The views and experiences were incredible.
We stayed in some absolutely stunning camps and lodges. This was due to internet research and the advice of Noah who has direct contact with these places and negotiated us some good deals. Noah also helped us out with payment issues allowing us to pay on arrival as the final booking was too late for a credit card.
We saw plenty of shiny 4x4's really packed with people and baggage whilst we cruised past just the three of us. Plenty of room for cameras packed lunches and stretching out. Maybe not the newest vehicle but perfectly functional and very roomy. As with all a pop up roof and plenty of chargers (uk 3 pin) for electric items.
I believe that an East African safari is a must do for those who can. Tanzania and Wildebeest Safari served us very well in a never to be forgotten holiday. Thank you Hamza and Noah.

Great way to explore Aftica
5/5

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.

5/5

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!!
