The best tour operators of masai mara.
5/5

This was a wonderful experience and James was our guide. He is so experienced with masai mara and knows his ways to find all the animals. We stayed 4 nights and loved everything about the safari with beyond the Plains. Definitely value for money

The most wonderful adventure
5/5

Our experience with Beyond the Plains was fantastic.
We were lucky enough to share this trip with our driver and guide, Peter, who made our experience truly unforgettable.

He was an excellent driver with an extensive knowledge of the local culture, wildlife and places of interest.

He was always attentive, incredibly kind and friendly, and made the long journeys fly by as he shared lots of interesting information with us.

Without a doubt, we would do this adventure all over again!

Very accommodating
5/5

Having had to cancel our Safari (originally scheduled for March 2026), Beyond the Plains was incredibly accommodating in rescheduling the Safari - giving multiple options when rebooking.

The Safari itself is a true African adventure.
Our guide, Ken, was confident and articulate, answering multiple questions from the entire family. And in the evenings he joined us for dinner where we had more in-depth chats about all things Kenyan.

While Safari’s themselves are expensive, understanding the costs (park fees, hotels, extensive driving) the Safari was good value for money and most of all gave memories of a lifetime - especially for our 3 teenage children.
And so many incredible photos!

Thanks to all!

An Unforgettable Maasai Mara Experience
5/5

From the very beginning, everything with Beyond the Plains felt seamless. I was especially grateful for how responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating Maurine was throughout the planning process, particularly given how last-minute my arrangements were. I always felt well looked after, and that level of care made a meaningful difference.

The safari itself was truly unforgettable. I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed so much in such a short amount of time, and the experience exceeded what I had imagined for my time in the Maasai Mara. I saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, a leopard, hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, and so much more. One of the most memorable moments was witnessing a cheetah hunt from start to finish — an experience I will never forget.

Nicholas was exceptional. He was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and very intentional about understanding what I hoped to experience. He made the safari feel personal rather than simply programmed, and his care, flexibility, and enthusiasm played a huge part in making the trip so memorable. He also had a genuine passion for the Mara and its wildlife, which made the experience even more special.

My stay at Lalashe Mara Camp was another highlight. The villa was spacious, private, beautifully designed, and immersed in the surrounding landscape. Being able to see and hear wildlife directly from the property made the entire stay feel incredibly special.

I’m genuinely so grateful that I chose Beyond the Plains. Maurine, Nicholas, and the entire team contributed so much to making this chapter of my trip unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend Beyond the Plains to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Our Safari was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide Duncan was fantastic. We saw every single animal on our checklist and more. The whole tour is completely arranged so all you have to do is show up and be ready for an adventure! Will definitely book this company again in the future.

Exceptional Service!
5/5

It was an incredible experience for me and my friends. This was our first time in Kenya (and Africa) and we had a marvellous time. Our stays were at great locations, the service at the resorts were warm and well thought through but what really stood out was our experience with our driver-cum-guide Rony. Rony is a kind, caring and responsible person who knows the terrain really well and made sure that we had the best of time on each of the 8 days he was with us. Thank you, Rony, and Beyond the Plains. Will recommend you wholeheartedly and maybe we will be back one day, too :)
