Simply put, it was the best African Safari!
We were a group of 14 lads from London who traveled to Kenya for the first time. We managed to find Noah and his company Wildebeest Safaris online after some intense research. From the first hello to the final goodbye, Noah and his team took great care of us all. We had 2 drivers for the Safari duration; Eustace and Noah's brother, Dennis. Both were amazing, knowledgeable, down to earth and chilled, and made our trip very easy and practical throughout. They had great knowledge about the Mara and where to find animals, and just in general, they were both genuine. Noah definitely takes into consideration everything you want or need from start to finish, he takes pride in making your trip tailored for you, and he is very approachable and easy to get in contact with should there be any issues (which there weren't). I will be returning at some point and will be booking again with Noah no doubt! We booked our safari about a month before we arrived, and I actually didn't know what to expect, but everything was perfectly fine and went smoothly. We managed to see pretty much every animal the Mara has to offer including Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelle, Topi's, Lions, Hippos, Leopards with cubs, Warthogs aka Pumba from The Lion King, and many more! Overall, I have traveled to many countries, but I have to say this has been my best experience and holiday till today. I would encourage everyone to visit Kenya and do a safari in Masai Mara through Wildebeest Safaris and Noah!

I had wonderful, impressive moments in breathtaking, peaceful places. Asante sana
The communication weeks before via email was perfect and all important agreements were made promptly. The local organization and service was also perfect, friendly and attuned to my wishes and needs. I felt completely comfortable, safe and cordially cared for.

Superb experience on a private tour of Uganda and Rwanda
I was a little apprehensive about booking a private tour on my own - female, travelling alone, booking with a local company outside Australia. I could not have wished for a better trip (aside from Emirates losing my luggage). My 11 day tour took me from Entebbe to Kibale for the fabulous chimpanzee experience, Queen Elizabeth National Park where I got up close to many many elephants as well as on the Kazinga channel cruise, wonderful day Gorilla trekking in Bwindi, then onto Rwanda where the trek to Dian Fosseys grave was a highlight as well as visiting the genocide museum in Kigali. My guide Milton was excellent - such great company at breakfast and dinner with lots of local knowledge which he was happy to share as we were on the road. Accomodation in lodges throughout the trip was really very good - meals were extremely generous and tasty and packed lunches were included for most excursions. Overall I felt very well cared for and would rate my private tour as exceptional value for money compared with other tours offered through companies based in Australia. I fell in love with east Africa and hope to return sometime in the future.

Amazing African experience
My first safari experience was indeed a wonder, we have visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro Crater as planned, and National park Tarangire, which was not originally in the plan, but our guide changed it according to update on animal quantity, which we were very grateful for! Tarangire NP was great, even though its area is relatively small, the richness of wildlife was enormous, number of elephants was the highest I have ever seen!!!
We have been staying in tents for the whole time, which was very adventurous, unfortunately there was quite a lot of rain during the nights and in Serengeti park there was quite some water coming through the bottom of our tent. Due to that we did not sleep that much that night, but the morning animal watching compensated it hundred percent, the chance to see the cheetah family on one side of the road and lion family on the other side was just stunning!
We were very grateful for the services of our guide China, who was very helpful and always did everything he could for us to have the best pictures and told us many interesting things about the area and the animals we saw.
We also had our cook to prepare meals for us everyday, which was very nice. Since we have chosen the budget form of safari, this was quite, what we have been expecting. Only thing was that our stomach were obviously not that expecting that and this made some of the meals difficultly digestible. Together with the one wet night in Serengeti made the day really an adventure, which was not super pleasure.
However, as I was saying, the animals and the nature were so stunning, that we were able to go through everything.

It´s the perfect place to see animals and birds.
All was perfect, the only minus could be the accomodations, some of the place we visit was miserable treetophotel Aberdare and Elsamer Naivasha.

The safari was an incredible one. I planned another one this year also
The accomodation on Ashnil mara is very beautiful.Indian food is also available there.
I want to tell about beacon safari. The driver John was very cooperative and an excellent guy who knows very well everything about Masai mara. But sadly I want to tell another thing. I am extremely sorry to tell this. The beacon safari owner ROBERT cheated me 350 dollars by giving me a duplicate bill when we reach NAIROBI. I was in contact till February 8 .he is not interested in giving my money back. Be aware of this company as they can also cheat u.

Beyond our Expectations!
Zicasso found the perfect travel specialist for our Tanzanian safari. We were introduced to our safari travel designer. She planned a custom trip for my daughter and I, and every detail was thoughtful and flawless! She was very communicative and easy to talk to, returned calls and emails quickly. It was the most relaxing trip I have ever experienced since our travel designer planned every detail based on extensive conversations of our hopes and wishes of what we hoped to see and experience. It was a truly magical vacation! Our 8 day trip to Tanzania was well beyond our expectations!! We stayed in amazing, elegant lodges and spent 3 nights in a Serengeti tented camp. We had a private guide for the entire trip who took us on daily game drives based on what we wanted to see. We experienced the Tanzanian culture and the Massai, and saw and studied oh-so many animals in their natural habitats onlya few feet away from our Land Cruiser. We soaked in the beauty and natural wonders of the Seregenti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. Everything about this trip was relaxed, well organized, and stress-free. It truly was a trip of a lifetime that we will treasure forever!
