Easy to work with and great experience
We had a wonderful time. Amazing animals - saw the big 5. Our drivers, Ben, Edson, and Ian, were all very kind and knowledgeable. Felix was very easy to work with when making our plans, and he made absolutely perfect arrangements for us.

An Exceptional Safari Experience with Beyond the Plains
Choosing Beyond the Plains for our safari was the best decision we could have made. From the very first contact with Linet to the final drop-off, their service was truly outstanding and surpassed all expectations.
The initial planning phase set the tone for the entire trip. Linet's reaction speed on WhatsApp was phenomenal—I often received insightful replies within minutes, which made coordinating the logistics across continents completely stress-free. The consultation and planning were highly personalized and incredibly thorough. She didn't just offer standard packages; Linet listened to our specific interests, tailored the itinerary to our preferences, and even offered support that went above and beyond the safari planning itself, proving their commitment to a smooth, holistic travel experience. The entire process was seamless.
The Phenomenal Driver: Kevin
A massive part of what made this safari so memorable was our driver, Kevin. He is simply the best. Kevin's dedication to ensuring we had the perfect experience was evident every single day:
Unmatched Flexibility: He was a complete professional—he never complained, was happy to start as early as we wanted, and stayed out as late as we wished.
The "vibes" with Kevin were, honestly, next-level. He was always positive, fun, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and his job. He truly seemed to read our wishes from our lips and fulfill them before we even had to ask. The perfect sightings we got to see were a rare bonus!
If you are looking for a safari company that combines impeccable organization, incredible responsiveness, highly individualized planning, and the absolute best ground experience led by phenomenal individuals like Kevin, look no further than Beyond the Plains. They deliver a truly unforgettable and exciting journey. We highly recommend them!

Very well organized
We had the best time with Beyond the Plains Safari. Julius, our coordinator, was very responsive with all our queries, and helped us line up the itinerary seamlessly. Our tour guide Joseph was incredible, very informative and made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the trip. He was incredible with animal sightings and answered all our various questions on the wildlife we saw. He was constantly coordinating with the other guides to enable us to see all the animals! We saw a hunt, the wildebeest crossing the mara river, and so much more, all thanks to him. Would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

Incredible safari experience with Beyond Plains, Felix and Kevin!
We had the most incredible safari experience with Beyond Plains, and I cannot recommend them enough. Kevin, our guide, was absolutely amazing — laser-focused, intuitive, and deeply passionate about what he does. He always took the path less traveled, ensuring we had unique and unforgettable sightings.
Thanks to him, we experienced two leopard sightings in Masai Mara, watched a lioness with her cubs in Ol Pejeta, and even had the rare privilege of witnessing a cheetah take down an impala in Masai Mara — with just us and the ranger vehicle present. These moments were beyond special and truly showcased Kevin’s expertise and instinct.
A big shoutout also goes to Felix, who crafted our itinerary so beautifully. Everything was seamless from start to finish, and together the team made this trip exceptional.
We’re already dreaming of a Uganda/Rwanda adventure next year and will definitely be planning it again with Felix and Kevin. Beyond Plains has built an incredible ecosystem of people who genuinely care about creating unforgettable experiences.

Fantastic Trip
We had a fantastic time on our safari.
We had organised a 10 day tour starting in Kenya and ending at Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
I dealt with Felix who was very responsive and helped us create an itinerary which suited our needs and made some great suggestions.
We were met at the airport by our first driver, who was very friendly and helpful. He and our next driver helped us navigate the land border with Tanzania which was very quick and a smooth process. Our Tanzania driver provided us with a lot of knowledge and facts, and was with us until he dropped us off at the airport.
The safari was fantastic, where we saw all the major animals across multiple parks. Our guides always made great effort to show us as much as possible as get as close to the animals as possible.
Would most definitely recommend.
a smooth and stress-free trip
From start to finish, my trip to Kenya was absolutely incredible, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Julius, my booking agent, and Ian, my tour guide.
Julius went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He checked in on me every step of the way, ensuring I was comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment of the trip. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and truly enjoyable. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and professional — I always felt supported and in good hands.
Ian, my tour guide, was equally exceptional. A highly skilled driver and true expert in wildlife and the terrain, he knew exactly how to position the vehicle for the perfect photo opportunity — every single time. Thanks to him, I was able to capture some truly breathtaking shots. His deep knowledge of the animals and his respectful, calm approach made each game drive both exciting and educational.
