Awesome tour operator
Had a great time in Kenya! The trip was planned well and accommodations were comfortable and beautiful. Our guide Francis was knowledgeable and made sure our safari was as expected. We saw all animals up close but without distressing them. He showed respect to the animals as well as fellow guides. Overall a superb experience! Thanks James for planning and Francis for guiding! 😊

Excellent service, listens to you and tailors the tour to your requirements.
From the start the agent want to know what we wanted. Suggested some tours and when we said they weren't quite right took time and effort to make sure we saw what we wanted not some where because that was the normal.
All pick ups a were on time and in comfortable vehicles, the hotels chosen were beautiful. We can not fault this experience and would recommend this operator highly.

An absolutely unforgettable safari with amazing sightings!
The whole safari journey was absolutely stunning. Our guide was wonderful and very experienced. He could anticipate animal movements and always drove us to excellent viewing spots ahead of time.
The hotel arrangements were fantastic too, all located very close to the parks. In Serengeti, we stayed right in the heart of the grasslands. The hotel service and hot‑water supply were excellent.
We were fortunate enough to witness a cheetah hunt as well as a lion pride on a hunt. This trip has exceeded all my expectations – truly worth every moment

Flawless Execution of a Highly Demanding Custom Itinerary! The BEST Safari Operator
If you are looking for a tour operator that can perfectly accommodate a highly customized itinerary, expertly managing 1 to 2-hour time blocks to ensure smooth transitions between activities and efficiently achieving your goals for wildlife, culture, and East African landscapes, look no further than Seven Wonders Safaris! Plus, they can seamlessly arrange an incredible cross-border trip to both Kenya and Tanzania!
We planned a 12-day cross-border safari. As a traveler with high standards, I provided the itinerary we hoped to achieve (covering Amboseli National Park, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Lake Natron, Ol Doinyo Lengai, and the Great Rift Valley), filled with well-planned time blocks, specific animal targets (e.g., leopards on sausage trees, Lion King cartoon characters, tree-climbing lions, solitary black rhinos, etc.), specific activities (Tarangire Baobab walking safari, hunting trip with Hadzabe hunters, Maasai village cultural tour, banana plantation cycling & banana beer tasting, viewing the Great Rift Valley, etc.), and daily pre-arrival briefings before dinner for the next day's plan. In a land governed by unpredictable "Africa Time," this was a massive challenge. Yet, Seven Wonders Safaris executed it flawlessly!
💼 Evelyn (Owner): Rigorous and Reliable Responses
Throughout the months of planning and negotiating, Evelyn demonstrated unparalleled patience. I initially assumed that local services in Africa might be a bit loose or casual, but Evelyn proved to be incredibly reliable and rigorous. Her responses were consistently under 24 hours and directly addressed my questions with exactly the answers I needed. Her efficiency and attention to detail actually made me feel like I was communicating with a highly professional Asian customer service team!
Moreover, her speed in checking lodge availability and providing price quotes was outstanding—always replying within 24 hours. Whether it was clarifying the required documents for Kenya and Tanzania visas, ensuring a smooth handover of driver-guides at the Namanga Border, or answering our endless inquiries, she always provided satisfactory and reassuring answers.
🚙 Elifahili (Our Star Driver/Guide): Eagle Eyes and Masterful Positioning
Our driver-guide, Elifahili, was the absolute soul of this trip! He was more than happy to discuss our daily "Game Drive Strategies." Not only did he execute our plan perfectly, but he also used his eagle-like vision to spot countless hidden animals. He knew exactly how to manage time and pacing, adding delightful little surprises to give us a rhythm where we could watch animals to our heart's content, all without making us feel exhausted—absolutely zero "garbage time."
The best part is that he treated us like old friends, mingling with everyone effortlessly. When we were all happy, he would even dance along with us!
Furthermore, his driving skills are phenomenal. On long African drives, you often worry about getting lost or getting flat tires, but his driving was incredibly steady and reassuring. When encountering animals, he always secured the perfect "center stage" (C-position) for us. Whether viewing with the naked eye or taking photos with a phone, we always got the best shots. Impressively, he did this without blocking other safari vehicles, avoiding the complaints and constant repositioning that often ruin the peaceful experience of watching wildlife.
🛣️ Top-Notch Vehicle and Logistics
One of our days involved a notoriously brutal route from Northern Serengeti via Klein's Gate down to Lake Natron. It is an ultimate test for any vehicle. However, the 4x4 Land Cruiser provided by Seven Wonders was in pristine condition, handling the dusty and bumpy roads perfectly, keeping us safe and comfortable.
In conclusion, Seven Wonders Safaris offers incredible flexibility, top-tier guides, and a dedication to making your dreams come true. Highly, highly recommended to anyone with high expectations for their safari!

A true expert in the industry who is attentive and mindful of your budget and delivers on all fronts
We loved working with Kathi from African Welcome Safaris. She was a great communicator and planned a fabulous trip. She was patient as there were four of us traveling and made sure to accommodate all of our requests. She worked within our budget and delivered on all fronts -- from lodges and hotels to flights and guides. The number of days in each location was perfect, which to me as a great indicator of someone who knows how to plan. We truly loved our entire trip, especially Eagle Island Lodge in the Okavango Delta.. I will be sending all my friends and family to Kathi as she did a stellar job planning a truly memorable holiday.

Where do we even begin?! We honestly cannot recommend Beyond the Plain Safaris enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely incredible, and they truly made our honeymoon safari everything we had dreamed of and more!
A HUGE thank you to Maurine, who quite literally saved our honeymoon! Unfortunately, we had been scammed by another safari company, leaving us with just 10 days before our trip and no safari organised. Maurine was absolutely amazing and managed to arrange everything at such short notice, without us having to change a single thing from our original itinerary! Her communication, reassurance and attention to detail were outstanding, and we are so incredibly grateful for everything she did to make our dream trip happen.
And what can we say about our two amazing guides, Ian and Phineas?! 🥹 Both were absolutely fantastic! Their knowledge, passion, friendliness and dedication made our safari experience even more special. They consistently went above and beyond to make sure we had the most incredible time, always going the extra mile to help us see as much wildlife as possible and create memories we will treasure forever.
We were lucky enough to experience some truly unforgettable wildlife encounters, including seeing the most incredible animals up close. Every single day brought something new and exciting, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides to share those moments with.
Everything was so well organised, from the accommodation and transfers to the game drives and overall itinerary. We felt completely looked after throughout our entire journey.
What started as an incredibly stressful situation turned into one of the most magical experiences of our lives, and that is all thanks to the wonderful team at Beyond the Plain Safaris.
Maurine, Ian and Phineas, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our honeymoon safari so unforgettable! 🤎
If you’re considering booking a safari in Kenya, look no further. We genuinely couldn’t recommend Beyond the Plain Safaris highly enough. An experience of a lifetime with a truly exceptional company! 🦁🐘🇰🇪

Very reliable tour operator! I would strongly recommend them. We had a smooth and enjoyable 6-day safari through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
