BEST TRIP EVER
Beyond the Plains was simply fantastic in all aspects of our trip. Special thanks to Fridah for always being responsive to messages regarding planning and trip related questions. Kennedy was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, and a very pleasant person in general. We had a great time and would 100% recommend Beyond the Plains to any friends and family that will visit Kenya. Thank you!

Once in a lifetime experience!
10 stars for Ronnie! What an amazing experience I had on a solo 5 day adventure exploring Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Ronnie took great care to make sure I not only saw so many incredible animals, but was safe and always looked after. Highly recommend Beyond the Plains, all the communication from the moment of contact was professional and efficient, and everywhere I stayed was beyond expectations. A truly once in a lifetime experience, thank you!

A challenging itinerary that was well planned and organised
We were referred to BTP Safaris via Ella McKendrick. We were able to submit our potential itinerary to Andrew and the team and left it to them to organise and boo various tours and trips plus accommodation. We were kept informed of progress in the build up to the adventure. We were met at our Nairobi hotel by our driver and 2 of the organising team and headed off towards Amboseli. Shortly afterwards we encountered a long traffic jam and our driver chaose an alternative route to avoid delay that he had never encountered before. We headed off with full confidence in his helpful experience of Kenyan roads and tracks. This was completed only to come across a Maasai roadblock to our first game lodge accommodation. The demonstration was resolved by the police and we were able to take in an evening game drive in Amboseli reserve - we saw Maasai giraffe and herds of elephants and water buffalo plus birdlife and the odd gnu. Next day we observed hippos and a few cheetahs, worthogs, antelope, gazelles and water bucks and then a tour of the local Maasai community. We were able to learn about their culture and lifestyle. He next day we winessed the White Mountain without the cloud and headed of to the Tatia Hills reserve. There were less animals here but we did see 2 lionesses, one with 3 cubs and the other heavily pregnant. Next, we were dropped at Voi station for a train ride to Mombassa. Again, we were picked up by the next arranged driver who took us the Fort Jesus (and the Spice Market), shown around by a Maasai guide. Follwoing tis we were taken to our final accommodation at Diani Beach. This was really welcome as a rest from all our travel in Kenya. We had great hospitality there and were able to do a couple of boat trips - one up the Kongo river and another on the sand bar in the Indian Ocean. Overall, we expereinced a seamless trip and everything was organised to a very high standard. Thank you.

Amazing safari experience!
We had such an amazing time on our safari. We did a 4-day safari in Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara and it was perfect. We had to shift our travel dates last minute and the company was very accommodating. Our driver Duncan was the best!! He showed us so many different animals and taught us a lot about the surrounding communities. It was a lovely trip and we would recommend Duncan and Beyond the Plains to anyone looking to book a safari!

Best trip ever
Beyond the Plains Safari made our experience amazing and wanted to come back, they take care of everything we dont have to worry about anything. The guide is very professional and provide a lot of information, we did 7 day safari trip on 3 different hotels and was amazing. I highly recommend it to other travelers looking for a street free trip and a good value.
The entire crew of Beyond the Plains we meet was very kind and professional,
Definitely coming back and booking with them again in a few years from now.

Absolutely the best safari ever
We have just returned from the most incredible safari we could have imagined, and Beyond the Borders has everything to do with it.
First, a heartfelt shout-out to Alex – without his golden tip, we would never have found this absolute gem. Alex, we are eternally grateful to you! 🙏
But then there is John. Our tour guide, our personal wilderness expert. This man is simply the best in his field. His knowledge of the animals is encyclopedic – at every sighting, he could immediately tell us what we saw, why it was special, and supplemented it all with stories you simply won't forget. He spotted things we would never have seen ourselves, drove off-road with surgical precision, and searched until we saw exactly what he wanted us to see.
He was also a real star for our daughter – patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to explain everything.
This was no ordinary vacation. This was an experience we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. 10/10, without a doubt. If you are even slightly considering going on safari: book Beyond the Borders, ask for John, and prepare yourself for something that exceeds all expectations.

Ian is the absolute best! A tour guide has never made me want to revisit a country before
I had an amazing time in Kenya! There were some communication issues with the office staff but it all worked out at the end. Ian and I were a great match because we are both extroverts. As a solo traveler, he was very fun, professional, and really went the extra mile to make this trip memorable!
