Excellent tailored safaris with highly knowledgeable guides
Couldn't recommend them more. Right from the start, they were waiting for us at the airport and took us to our hotel. The next day, they picked us up and introduced us to our guide, Harun, with whom we would be doing the safari.
Harun was always helpful, friendly, and answered all of our questions. One detail I truly appreciated about him was his respect for the animals; while we saw other vehicles rushing toward them, Harun always showed respect and patience. Because we weren't making noise or disturbing them, the animals actually walked right in front of us on their own. You can really tell he loves his job and is incredibly knowledgeable!
I highly recommend both Beyond the Birds for their overall service, and Harun as a guide!

Very well organised private safari itinerary
We asked for a personalised itinerary, and they organised everything perfectly for us. The entire trip was very well organised, with wonderful activities included and an incredible lodge booked for our stay. It was a private safari just for the two of us, which made the experience even more special. Our driver and guide was very kind and knowledgeable. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend them.

Dedicated safari experts committed to making your dream adventure unforgettable.
From the moment we first contacted Beyond the Plains, we knew we were in good hands. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, always quick to respond and happy to answer our questions. Booking a safari can feel overwhelming, but he made everything easy and stress-free.
Our safari itself was simply unforgettable. Moses was an exceptional guide—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed some truly incredible sightings. His enthusiasm and dedication added so much to the experience.
What impressed us most was how personal everything felt. We never felt like just another booking; the team genuinely cared that we had the best possible trip. The attention to detail, seamless organisation, and excellent communication throughout were outstanding.
We returned home with amazing photographs, wonderful memories, and a real appreciation for the people who made this journey so special. Thank you, Andrew, Moses, and the entire Beyond the Plains team for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone planning their dream safari.

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.

Memorable and comprehensive trip to Kenya and Tanzania
Beyond The Plains brought us on a very memorable and lovely trip through Kenya and Tanzania! Everything went smoothly from planning with Julius to the actual tour with our 3 guides - John, Anderson and Moses. They made sure that we had everything we needed, they were always on high alert on game drives to make sure we saw as much animal action as we could, and they were friendly and always answered our never-ending questions about everything. The only thing bumpy was the roads haha but even then our guides always tried their best to make sure we could be as comfortable as we could be in the jeep. Would highly recommend Beyond The Plains if you're looking to do a safari trip!
Overall Great Experience Thanks to BTP
Beyond the Plains did an amazing job in delivering a fantastic experience in our private safari. Right from the point of sale to dropping us off back in Nairobi, the BTP team was extremely professional. It was well organized and well executed by taking care of every need we had on this special trip. Aaron, our guide was super knowledgeable and skillful in executing the game drive, which was the most important for my photography!

Excellent service at a reasonable price!
The booking experience was straightforward and the office was quick to reply to my questions throughout the process. The pricing was fair for a mid-tier safari. Accommodations were clean and the food was pretty good, nothing to write home about. My guide was excellent and
easy going. His driving was safe and efficient. He seemed to really care that we were having a good time. Would recommend!

They took care of us from the 1st inquiry through the end of the trip - Best trip ever!
Beyond the Plains was detailed and responsive from 1st inquiry through the final day of our trip. They listened to our desires and not only fulfilled them, but delivered more than we had dreamed - all within our budget.
Maurine not only took care of all of our arrangements, she also checked on us throughout our 11 day trip. She would ensure we knew transfer and excursion arrangements. If we had questions before or during our trip - she responded quickly and effectively.
Our Guide, Ronnie was an all star! He asked for our wildlife priorities and was able to deliver through experience and some networking. Its apparent he loves his job and well known among the locations we visited.
This was not our 1st safari, but our 1st time using Beyond the Plains. I wish I would have found them sooner. They are the best!!

Beyond Words
Let me start with the booking. I decided on Kenya and completed the entire planning and booking over a weekend. The entire process was handled over whatsapp. My countless questions and request for multiple changes due to schedule, cost and flight timings were handled with enthusiasm and patience. I could sense the knowledge of the team and the sincerity in making this a wonderful trip. Then comes the trip itself. The hero undoubtedly is Dun (Duncan). He was the guide for the entire 7 days trip. One of the ever smiling and friendly personalities I have ever seen. We will miss him more than Kenya itself. He knows when to go, where to go, what to see and was quick to adapt to changing wherabouts of animals and our wants.. 25 years of his experience and wisdom helped us spot all the wildlife we wanted to see.. Most of our time was spent in his Landcruiser which is maintained well and clean. Overall a fantastic trip with lots of great memories that we will cherish for a long time. Will be back for Samburu soon. P.S. We had an intern, Emmanuel joining us to learn. A quiet and a smiling person who quickly became my son's friend.
