Our vacations to the Wild Wildebeest Lodge in South Africa have been amazing! This is our second trip to the lodge and each has been a life long memory. Mike, Karen, Ben, Jacob, are wonderful hosts! They all go out of their way to make you feel welcome and like family. The lodge is beautiful and the accommodations are fantastic. The staff takes care of your every need and the meals are outstanding. The hunting crew makes sure you have the most professional and the best hunting experiences possible. We have had great hunting success. You have time for relaxing, hunting, fireside evenings, experiencing the country with day trips, and you meet other hunters and their families from all over the world. Everyone leaves the lodge with a larger “family “ than they came with. Mike and Karen’s sons, Ben & Jacob, have been our special guides. They have been with us on most of our hunts and we have been with them on some of their hunts. That has made our time at Wild Wildebeest Lodge even more special. Thanks guys! We have been able to experience our vacations with family and friends. Thanks for all the memories! If you get a chance to go to Africa, we can’t say enough about Wild Wildebeest Lodge. Looking forward to vacation # three!

My stay at the Wild Wildebeest Lodge was a memory that I will never forget. From the friendliness of everyone, the campfire stories, the animal watching, the hunting, and the accommodations (especially the food), it was all absolutely amazing! Thanks to all of you for making my African hunting safari a great success! A special thanks to my PH for the knowledge and appreciation shown for the harvested animals, and also for an ostrich encounter that will have me talking and laughing about for the rest of my life!

My wife Sheri and I have been to Africa twice, with Wild Wildebeest lodge being our second trip. Having a wonderful time and falling in love with Africa with our first trip, and thinking we wouldn't be able to top it. We booked with Wild Wildebeest lodge, and wow were we in for a surprise. The lodge and accommodations were wonderful. The staff was friendly and courteous at all times. The food was superior, if you were hungry, they were always there and willing to whip something up for you. The game was plentiful and the professional hunters were fantastic. Best of all were the relationships developed with all the people associated with Wild Wildebeest Lodge, but especially with Karen and Mike and their family. We had such a wonderful trip that we booked for the following year and are bringing our five children with us!

From planning the trip while in the states, to being picked up at the airport, to the moment we were dropped back off, everything was amazing. Wild Wildebeest Lodge did not disappoint and far exceeded anything we would have hoped for. The hospitality of ALL the staff was extraordinary! Our PH was fantastic. He did an amazing job locating our trophies and working to ensure we had a successful and enjoyable hunt. The lodge slogan is “Come as a client, leave as a friend” but we would say by the end we left with an extended family! Our family tends to be a “one and done” family when it comes to vacations, as we love to see the world. Despite that, Wild Wildebeest Lodge is on our list of places to return!

WOW! Just WOW!
I had very high expectations going into the trip, but I have to say, the WWL crew more than exceeded them. From the time we landed until we flew out, the crew was on the spot! Our PH and tracker had us in front of animals every day. Breath taking views! Many thanks to the entire crew. So professional, curious, and polite. Frankly, we didn’t want to leave.

I want to say how much fun my brother and I had on our trip. From the time we left the airport to our return trip, our professional hunter was there to help us. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He really seems to know his stuff when it came to hunting and tracking. When we were relaxing around the fire, he was just as much fun to be around. Everyone at the lodge was very kind and helpful. We had an extended trip, and we really feel that we got to know everyone well. The accommodations and the food were amazing. The little surprises they threw in for us throughout the week were wonderful as well. I would also like to express just how grateful I was that we sat down and prayed before every meal. I really like to see that. Again, I want to express what an absolute pleasure we had on our trip, and I would love to bring my wife next time.

I would like to second that. The experience was “once in a lifetime”. I enjoyed the whole staff and being able to joke around with the rest of the PH’s around the campfire. Our tracker did an excellent job as well, and we did our job to make his job easy. We got to know the other guests, and it was a pleasure hanging out with them. These memories will last a lifetime.

Now that we landed back in Minnesota and are driving back home, I wanted to take a second and give you a summary of our thoughts. So to say the least, we are overwhelmingly happy with the trip overall. The moment our PH met us at the airport, we were treated very provisionally and politely. That continued throughout our entire trip with every single staff member. I can’t say enough of how I enjoy hunting with my PH and his skills. Everything was beyond our expectations and felt we were treated like kings. We will definitely be promoting Wild Wildebeest Lodge. I will speak for myself and will be planing a future trip. Thanks also for helping us along the way, planning the trip with all of the many questions and needed information. I will be looking for information for a possible future trip to Missouri. I can only imagine that the service will be similar there as well.
