Reviews
Well planned and executed
We did a private 10 day safari covering Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Amboseli and have returned incredibly pleased with the whole experience. Noah was prompt, patient, painstaking and transparent during the planning stage ensuring that the safari was tailored to our requirements and our budget. The execution was flawless, seamless and completely hassle free and all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the journey. The vehicles were clean and in good condition. Each accommodation was different, of high quality and very well located. The game viewing was varied and exciting. The guides, Dennis in Kenya & Hamza in Tanzania, were enthusiastic, patient, polite and had a good sense of humour which ensured that we had a most enjoyable time.
We wound up our safari eager to return. Soon, hopefully.
Our deep appreciation to the team at Wildebeest. Asante sana!

Doing a safari with a friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide makes all the difference!
The communications with Wildebeest Safaris LTD was mostly by email, which I appreciated. We were picked up from our hotel on time and delivered to the tour bus (both the hotel and tour pickup location were in Nairobi) that would take us to Maasai Mara about a 5 hour drive away. There were 2 people in our party and a total of 7 people on our 9 passenger bus. We were fortunate to have a friendly, chatty group of people on our bus. It's a loooong drive. The people we drove to Maasai Mara with were the same people we would end up spending the next 3 days with.
Our specific tour was for 12 year old guests and older. We were grateful to not have very young passengers on our bus for 3 days.
While on safari, our driver, Raheem, communicated by radio with the other drivers to be sure we saw the Big Five. If one tour group found a specific animal on the savanna, he would radio the other drivers so they could head right to that spot. We lucked out and saw the Big Five as well as so many other animals.
Raheem was attentive to our group and helpful in every way possible. I was not feeling well on our last day and he was concerned and sensitive to my issue. Fortunately, I was able to make it back to Nairobi without incident.
We were fortunate to have a group of people on our bus that all spoke English and were friendly. There were other tour groups that just didn't seem to be having as much fun as we were. I feel like I've made friends for a lifetime.

Dream safari come true
I have to be honest I was nervous about our safari booked with Wildebeest Safaris it all seemed to good to be true. From the very beginning the prices were within our budget and the itinerary suggested was absolutely perfect and exactly everything we were wanting which is why I was thinking wheres the catch, but everything was amazing. Noah's suggested itinerary for my husband and I was perfect every camp and lodge suggested was beyond our expectations. Peter our driver picked us up from our Nairobi hotel and he was very professional and the vehicle we had was immaculate. We saw other tour companies along the way and I was so happy we went with Wildebeest their vehicles and drivers were not as professional as ours. Peter spoke good english and was able to find every type of animal on safari for us, we saw Lion, leopards, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, rhino, hippos, baboons, ostrich, hyena, flamingos, multiple lion and babies sightings and the big one for me was the cheetah along with an interaction with a cheetah mother and her 4 cubs, every kind of antelope and an array of birds. It was the most amazing trip of my life and I will never forget it. If you are going to Masai Mara ask to stay at Mara Eden Camp having the Hippos and crocs outside your door was amazing. Thank you thank you thank you so much Wildebeest Safaris, Im coming back next year hopefully for the great migration.

Professional service & very helpful
This was my 4th safari in Kenya and having chosen to go for slight more budget companies on previous occasions I was very glad to have gone with wildebeest this time.
First class commutation from Noah helping to plan and organise our private safari.
Accommodation throughout our trip was very good and the driver and vehicle where also top notch.
Highly recommend for a professional service throughout and a relaxing and enjoyable safari.

Awesome game driving, and very nice driver!!!
I joined the three days Masai Mara private tour with my sister.15-17 March,2017. We were picked up at JKIA the day before the tour. So, we can arrived the hotel we stayed easily and safety. Next day, the tour started. We could go to Masai Mara by Land Cruiser, so it was comfortable. The driver was Dennis.He was very friendly and a very good driver! We could enjoyed bad road to Masai Mara, and during the game driving because his driving technique is so good.
In the Masai Mara N.R, we could see elephant, zebra, hippo, giraffe, female lion, and so many wild animals!! We could not see male lion, but we will try to see next time!
We stayed Mara Eden Safari Camp. This camp was so good. We could use hot shower every time, and the cuisine was delicious.The camp located along the Mara river, so we could wake up by hippo shout in the morning!!! That was awesome!!
Next time we travel to Kenya, we will join Wildbeest Safaris again!! Thank you,

Amazing Kenya Safari
My Girlfriend and I did a 5 day Safarai and had the time of our lives. I've been on multiple safaris and this was hands down the best one I have ever been on. The price was perfect for what we got and the company went above and beyond to meet our needs. Loved every minute. I will be recommending Wildebeest Safaris LTD to friends and families.

Amazing, Wonderful and Fabulous Experience
We booked our safari and had to cancel due to a health concern. About 2 weeks later we were able to resume our Safari and Noah was able to make this possible. We arrived in Nairobi and were greeted at our Hotel by a wonderful Driver/Guide Dennis. We had an amazing time with him. Attention to detail and every request we made he was very willing to make happen. Dennis you are a great credit to the team at Wildebeest company
We had a fun filled 8 days and saw all the Big 5 in that time. We had to say a sad goodbye as we were going to Tanzania and were transported by Dixon who again was very accommodating to do what ever we asked.
We were greeted by our new Driver/Guide Hamjai who also was very willing to help make the experience memorable. We had a great time and again saw the Big 5 again and again. We then had to say our goodbyes to Hamjai and were greeted at the Kenya border by Ken who was again very accomadating to our needs.
Having been on several Safaris prior to this I wondered what my experience would be like?
I must say that Noah and his team were very willing to make our Safari a truly memorable experience.
The lodges and tented camps on our 15 day Safari all had wonderful and unique aspects, and the food was so well prepared and fresh.....congratulations to all the Chefs.
Thankyou to Owner... Noah, Drivers: Dennis, Dixon, Hamjai ,and Ken.
You are all a great asset to Wildebeest Safaris. We will continue to remember and recount all our wonderful memories you all made possible.
I recommend this company if you want a Safari with Great Attention to detail.

Excellent time with Wildebeest Safaris
We were a group of 10. We booked our hotels on our own and then used 2 drivers from Wildebeest Safaris to take us to the various sites, as well as provide 2 game drives daily. Our drivers Dennis and Eusty were wonderful! Both young men were extremely knowledgeable, funny and very flexible. We saw the Big 5 more than once, and in each of the game parks, Dennis used his radio to keep in contact with other drivers so we were able to quickly drive to a site if someone else had found lions/leopards/cheetahs, etc. If we ever make it back to Kenya, we will most certainly use Wildebeest, and will specifically for either Dennis or Eusty.
