Excellent experience, passionate and committed professional operator
Hope Tours operator drove long distances in the night arriving in Musanze at 1:00 am and still kept time to reach me at the hotel around 5:30 am in the morning. This is great! His detail briefing made my gorilla trekking easier and less scary😂. Getting me raincoat (had forgotten it) and a banana to help me no faint as I climb over 2800m high. In short, really appreciated the amazing experience from Hope Tours Rwanda.

Family adventure with Herbivore
Visiting Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater with HERBIVORE AFRICAN EXPEDITIONS was the best wildlife adventure experience in Tanzania with my family. We enjoyed every game drive with our professional guide and observed the incredible density of animals. Watching my family's reactions to each sighting made the trip even more memorable. We felt we were part of something much bigger than ourselves.

A Dream 5 Day Safari Journey with Incredible Game Drives, Knowledgeable Guide and Outstanding Care
Choosing Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures for our 5-day safari was the best decision we could have made. The entire experience was seamless, from booking to the final day. The team was responsive, helpful, and clearly dedicated to providing an exceptional safari experience.
Each game drive was an adventure, filled with incredible wildlife sightings and stunning landscapes. Our guide was not only skilled but also very passionate, which made every moment more engaging. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much as possible and that we were always comfortable.
The accommodations were beautiful and well selected, offering both comfort and a sense of being close to nature. We also enjoyed the delicious meals and the friendly service throughout the trip. This safari created memories we will cherish forever, and we highly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures.

Initial reasonable price comes at a cost - an uncomfortable experience
Pre-trip communication was top notch from Tracy.
As expected on any and all safaris in the Masai Mara / Serengeti - we saw everything we expected to (except Rhino) - but that's a given, that's why people travel from all over the globe to this place. So I'll not focus on what we saw but the rest of our experience.
The cost of the safari which included a one night stay in a camp site near the Masai Mara was about $1560 for 3 people.
I initially thought the price was reasonable, but the quality of the vehicle was really poor (super uncomfortable, poor leg room, leaked / poured water when raining in multiple places simultaneously) and the camp site was awful (food, bed comfort, service - all of it).
Whilst the driver / guide was friendly and somewhat knowledgeable, we did have to hold him to account a few times. E.g. he told us to have breakfast in the campsite at 0530 ready to leave at 0630 (service is very slow so you do need to leave an hour for a greasy omelette). Half asleep we were there at 0530 and ready to leave 0625, which is when he strolls in and sits down to order his breakfast. We had to tell him "We're ready to leave, we were up at 0430 packing and here for breakfast an hour ago ordering and eating like you told us, but now you want us to wait an hour for you to order and eat? No, not happening sorry, let's go". This kind of attitude just sours the experience, although he took this well without complaint / attitude, it's just unnecessary. Be professional and remember this is a once in a life time experience for most.
Given how affordable both accommodation and vehicle hire is in Kenya (especially in low season when we went), I think $1500+ for a one night trip is too pricey. Had a more appropriate vehicle been provided, and had the accommodation felt less one star and more three star, I think it'd make a vast difference.
In a nutshell, I would not recommend this experience.

Amazing Safari Experience
We had a wonderful experience over the past two to three days. Our guide, Dennis, was professional and kept everything well-organized, which made the whole trip smooth and stress-free.
He is very easy to get along with, friendly, and patient, always paying attention to our needs. Dennis is also very experienced and took us to see many amazing animals, making the trip memorable.
Most importantly, he is the safest driver I have seen in Africa, very reliable and trustworthy. He is also very punctual, always on time, which we really appreciated.
We felt well taken care of throughout the entire journey. Highly recommend Dennis and Flash McTours. Also a huge thank you to Peter for organizing the trips for us.
