Very good experience
Me and my husband decide to spend our honey moon in Tanzania and we couldn’t chose a better company. Our guide(Fred) was tireless about trying to make us see the big 5. Despite de animals, he was really open and patient, explaining everything that we wanna know despite the subject.
We chose the mid range safari, to be honest the accommodations were more than mid range, hot water , great food, awesome staff and huge view.
As I said first, it was the best choice we could make.

Welcoming team!
The team is very welcoming and all speak good English. Our guide, Fred, knows very well about the wild life and was willing to share with us everything about his culture. Very rich experience!

Superb - cannot recommend highly enough.
We did the 8-day tour through Vic Falls, Chobe, Makgadikgadi Pans and Okavango Delta.
We had the most fantastic trip with Webster and his team. We were a family of 4 - grandmother, mum and two teenagers (14 & 16).
Communication with Webster right from the first enquiry was great. He answered quickly and helped accommodate our requests.
In Victoria Falls Webster took us on the tour of the falls. They are truly breathtaking. The next day, Webster organised for 3 of us (not granny!) to do a bungee jump off the bridge - we cannot recommend this enough!!! Webster helped book us a table at the Lookout cafe. This is a really special place to eat and shouldn’t be missed. All of Webster’s advice and suggestions, such as recommendations for restaurants, were superb.
Our time in Chobe was incredible. We saw so many animals and had varied trips - boats, car, early morning. Our favourites were the hippos and a huge pride of lions.
We then travelled to the Makgadikgadi Pans. It wasn’t the season for much wildlife but we still saw ostriches, wildebeest and zebra. The sunset was stunning.
The Okavango Delta was spectacular. We had a day trip in the Mokoro boats with a safari walk. This was probably the least exciting part of the trip. We did see hippos but not a lot of other wildlife. Webster booked a helicopter trip over the Delta and this was AMAZING! We would really recommend this over a plane trip as you can see so much more through the open doors.
Overall this trip was truly fantastic and we can’t recommend it enough. Here are a few tips for if you are considering this trip:
- your hotels may change from the itinerary. Don’t worry as all the hotels Webster books are fantastic.
- check the day’s itinerary with Webster as we were caught out when we had a full day safari which we had thought was only a half day (we’d have taken slightly different things with us.)
- do a helicopter over the Okavango Delta!
- add an extra day in Maun/Okavango delta in order to do a game drive. This is the only thing we wished we’d done, but didn’t.
- do a bungee off the Victoria Falls bridge!
- go for lunch at the Lookout Cafe and enjoy the spectacular views of the falls and bridge.
- go for the Boma dinner, it was great fun. However, take care of your valuables and keep them with you at all times. We unfortunately had some money stolen from our bag when we were dancing. We are pretty sure it was our waiter.
Thank you Webster and team for a truly unforgettable holiday :-)

Exceptional Tour!!
My second tour with Tsalanang Tours I am absolutely happy that I did this tour with them. Professional, prompt response, friendly, wealth of knowledge and very accommodating.
I wished we had more days in South Africa - I could have done other tours. They are the best out there and I'll recommend Thabang to anyone out there wishing to undertake an authentic tour.
Thank you Thabang -You made our tour awesome.

Everything was excellent.
They picked us up in Johannesburg. Took us to temasani camp and the touring started. We loved everything about the trip. The guides, the safaris and the food. I would recommend 5 days as two days in Kruger was wonderful. I would also recommend staying at Marc’s treehouse. We found it really fun and the food was OUTSTANDING. Do not sleep in to avoid the early morning bush walk as it was fascinating. I also though the price was excellent. I would do this trip again for sure. Special shout out to Mama P.

Extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and readily available.
My wife and I have been married for 47 years and have discussed going on a safari to South Africa even when we were dating. After being shut out by COVID in 2020, we began to think that our dream vacation would never materialize. However, with the help of Chip Allen and the Kanyezi team, our recent trip to Capetown, Kruger National Park, and Victoria Falls exceeded our wildest expectations. We were greeted warmly wherever we went, provided with all the information we needed, fantastic service, great value, and exposed to the wonderful elements of nature and wildlife that all of us dream about, and few will ever see. The staff was accommodating to all travelers' needs, and safety was always a top priority. As a world traveler, I would honestly say that this was truly the experience of a lifetime.

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

Beautiful experiance with a great driver
We had a great Safari with Dickson. We saw a lot of wildlife and beautiful landscapes. We always felt very safe during Safari and long travels through the crowded streets. The communication worked well and the company was very reliable.
We stayed in Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Next time we would probably add a night at Lake Nakuru as well to see some rhinos.
Every nationalpark was individuially beautiful, but we liked Masai Mara the most. The Sopa Lodges and the Kibo tented camp were amazing.
