Highly Recommended: Professional, Friendly, and Memorable
It was an incredible experience. The entire staff was very attentive from beginning to end, and the accommodations were excellent. Our guide, Godi, took us to the best spots in each of the parks and reserves to see the Big Five, and we did it! Lunches on safari days were homemade and freshly prepared (not box lunch). The vehicle was clean and restocked with drinks every day. Furthermore, they not only picked us up from the airport the night we arrived but also dropped us off at our accommodation after the safari (in Kilimanjaro). If you have the opportunity to book this experience, don't hesitate to do so with Lion King Adventures, especially with God Bless.

A true partner in our holiday
I admit to initially being nervous booking our Safari holiday with a non UK operator. However with a little research we found African Family Safaris and started to explore our holiday. The team were just super, their knowledge was local, they knew every camp we looked at and helped us navigate so many options - all with no pressure or frustration with my [lots] of questions. The price was brilliant, so much better value than I'd found with UK providers. They provide an app which was bespoke to our tour and itinerary, very useful to keep us on track. When we landed in Botswana, two of the team set up a WhatsApp group with them and us so we could reach them at anytime if there were questions or issues. We didn't have any issues, but Lisa & Nadine were there with us the entire holiday and helped out out with a few small changes we wanted to make.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this team to help you plan your own Safari. First class.

Outstanding
In the words of Coldplay, this really was an adventure of a lifetime!! I felt incredibly honoured to get so close to nature and thankful for every day. Uganda is a stunning country with amazing people ready to welcome you with the warmest smile..
All of this was made possible by our incredibly professional tour guide Collie from Kajie Safari- this man is an absolute legend with incredible values, a real gentleman who goes above and beyond to make sure your holiday is everything you want it to be. As a single female travelling, he was incredibly respectful and made sure our safety was a priority. (including reminding me to add sunscreen.!!) booking with a local tour company was a bit of an unknown but definitely the best choice I ever made – it’s obvious to see local guides have a strong presence and are well respected / better established within the lodges and on the Safari treks than other companies to ensure their customers have the best experience– if you are looking to go on a Safari please please please use a local company – Kajie safari was outstanding and cannot recommend enough.
The communication from booking until our airport drop-off home was exceptional - quick speedy responses with honest advice always given.

Exceptional Safari and an Outstanding Guide
Our 6-day private safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded all expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, but what truly made the experience special was our guide, Godbless. He was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and finding the best viewing opportunities. His passion and dedication made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Godbless is an exceptional guide and a great asset to Lion King Adventures. We highly recommend requesting him specifically.

Excellent, well-priced.
My family and I had an amazing experience with lost in Africa during our 5 day safari in Tanzania. Our driver and guide Isakari was amazing start to finish, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel comfortable and safe throughout our trip. We learnt a lot of information from him about the land, culture, and animals. He also answered any questions we had. The vehicle was comfortable and the entire safari was well organised. Isakari went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. I would highly recommend this company for a safari in Tanzania, and recommend Isakari as a guide/driver. My family and I will never forget this experience.

Trip of a lifetime
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flawless from Start to Finish
My wife and I recently returned from a safari in Kenya organized by Beyond the Plains Safaris, and it exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very beginning, Sammy’s guidance through the planning and preparation process was outstanding. Every question was answered promptly, and the attention to detail gave us complete confidence before we even left home.
Once we arrived in Kenya, everything ran flawlessly. Flights, transfers, accommodations, and safari logistics were perfectly coordinated. We never experienced a single problem or delay throughout the trip.
Our guides—Michael, Ian, Aaron, and James—were exceptional. Their knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture greatly enhanced our experience, and they were a pleasure to spend time with each day. Moses was also incredibly helpful in our Nairobi transfers and making sure everything went smoothly.
We have traveled extensively around the world, both independently and on organized tours and cruises, and this ranks among the very best travel experiences we have ever had. The wildlife viewing was incredible, the accommodations were outstanding, and the warmth and hospitality of the Kenyan people made the trip even more special.
A heartfelt thank you to Sammy and the entire Beyond the Plains team for creating such an unforgettable adventure. We will enthusiastically recommend Beyond the Plains Safaris to anyone considering an African safari.
Highly recommended without hesitation.
