Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari Experience!
We had a wonderful experience with our Masai Mara safari! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and smooth. Our guide was exceptional – he had great knowledge of the wildlife and the region, and his passion really added to the experience. He was also very kind and polite, making us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout the journey.
We got to see the Big Five and so much more, and every game drive was exciting and memorable. We truly enjoyed every moment of the safari. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Masai Mara with a professional and friendly team!

Equal parts determined and safe
Our driver was absolutely determined to ensure we maximized our time and our animal sightings. He negotiated every type of terrain, Nairobi congestion, edge of cliff highways and crumbling dirt roads, with maximum efficiency, never sacrificing safety. All of our accommodations and the meals served at them were delightful. The comforts of a hotel with the far greater charm of being up close to nature.

Seamless and wonderful experience
Our Safari with Beyond the Plains was everything we hoped for. Dan, our driver, was professional, always on time, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Linet always answered our questions quickly and tailored the Safari to exactly what we wanted. Our stay at Zebra Plains was amazing. Overall, I would use them again and I am recommending them to everyone that is interested in a Safari in Kenya. The memories we made will last a lifetime.
Beyond our expectations!
This was a first class safari experience! Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris met and exceeded all our expectations. Our guide was great - knowledgeable, friendly, patient and willing to go the extra mile for us. From the very first interaction with this company I was impressed - with their prompt responses, clear communication and willingness to craft the safari experience we were hoping for.
This company provides a great safari for an affordable price. I highly recommend them.

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
We just got back from an amazing 10-day safari in Kenya with Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. From our first messages with Julius Kariuki to the final drop-off in Nairobi, the trip was smooth, exciting, and full of unforgettable moments. Julius was incredibly responsive and kind throughout the planning process—always answering our questions quickly and thoroughly on WhatsApp and email. He really listened to what we wanted and put together a perfect itinerary that included Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and the stunning Masai Mara. We were also glad that our time in Nairobi was included in the plan, which many other companies left out.
The true star of our safari, though, was Ben, our guide and driver. He was professional, friendly, and endlessly patient. The roads were rough at times, but Ben always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. His ability to spot wildlife (and name every animal and bird we came across!) was unreal. He often took us away from the more crowded areas to give us quieter and more personal wildlife sightings—something we really appreciated. The open-sided Land Cruiser we requested was great for photography, and Ben made sure it was stocked with water and had WiFi, which was super helpful in remote areas.
If we had to nitpick, the vehicle could use a little maintenance—some loose plastic pieces and a wobbly handle could be fixed up. But the engine and tires were solid, and overall it ran great. Honestly, those were small things in an otherwise incredible trip. We’d recommend Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris in a heartbeat to anyone thinking of an affordable and comprehensive safari in Kenya. Can’t wait to go back someday!

Amazingly curated trip, great prices and safe!
We loved the entire experience and would pick them again if we went back. We liased with Sammy who patiently curated the entire Safari trip for us based on our needs. He was meticulous in researching the best possible options, and adjusted prices for us. The communication was seamless and we got great value for our money, much better service than was offered by other tours companies. Our guide Ken, was amazing and we had a great time, we felt safe and secure!
