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.
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!
All of the guides and personnel worked hard to keep us happy. They exceeded our expectations.
Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris are a well organized, skilled and economical safari company. All their guides are very knowledgeable about Kenya. I will definitely use them

Experience of a lifetime!
My husband and I had the most amazing first ever safari experience with Beyond The Plains! Booking was easy, professional, and tailored to what we wanted. They were responsive and kind with all the questions we had leading up to the trip. Pick up and transport were smooth and exactly as planned even though we requested a pickup from Kisumu which was out of the norm. Our guide, Duncan, was fantastic. Super relaxed, happy to chat and answer questions but also happy to just let us do our thing during the long drives. During the safari he was very knowledgable about the animals and environment and taught us so much along the way. It was truly the experience of a lifetime. We visited Lake Nakuru and stayed at Ziwa Bush Lodge which was such a gorgeous paradise with amazing food. Then to Masai Mara staying at Jambo Safari Lodge. This one definitely felt a little more touristy and the accommodations weren’t quite as high quality or authentic as Ziwa, but it was perfectly suitable for what we needed. The staff there were all very kind and welcoming.
Things I think would have been helpful to know beforehand would be:
1) visit to Masai Village- it would have been good to have a little more info on what to expect here. For example, just before arriving our driver let us know people often bring donations in the form of cash, books, supplies, etc. but we hadn’t known that and so didn’t have much cash on us and definitely didn’t bring any supplies/books.
2) more info on if/when bathroom breaks/stops would be possible during Safari and the drives. It worked out fine but would have been good to know in advance just for peace of mind.
3) I wish we had known to bring more cash, specifically small bills of Kenya shillings for tipping the hotel staff/wait staff.
Again, truly the experience of a lifetime and would absolutely recommend booking with them! We hope to come back to Kenya and plan a trip to Amboseli, Samburi, and Mombasa and will be happy to work with Beyond the Plains again. :)

Very trustworthy and the best in the country
We had the most incredible experience with Beyond the Plains Safari. From start to finish, our trip was truly unforgettable — everything was well organized, comfortable, and filled with amazing moments that we will cherish forever.
A huge thank you to Alex and the entire team for making our safari so special. Your kindness, professionalism, and attention to every little detail made the journey smooth and enjoyable.
A very special thanks to our guide Ben ; he was absolutely amazing! His knowledge, patience, humility, and warm personality made us feel so comfortable, almost like we were with family. He made every moment fun, he’s funny, made so many jokes and cracked us up and made every single day exciting, and memorable. Thank you Ben from the bottom of our hearts. I would highly recommend whoever is planning a trip to Masai Mara to ask for Ben as your guide.
We saw incredible wildlife, experienced the beauty of Africa, and created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to share this adventure with.
Thank you, Beyond the Plains Safari, Alex, Ben, and the whole team, you made our dream safari come true. Highly recommended! 🦁🌿

Incredible
Peter was our driver and guide from Nairobi to the Isebania border. For three days and for three nights he made us feel extra special, always finding the animals, explaining different landmarks, the names of different trees and birds. Our time with Peter will never be forgotten, it was a “pinch” me moment the whole time we were with him. His vehicle was always clean tidy and comfortable. We would highly recommend the Safari company “beyond the plains” and should we be ever so fortunate to come again wouldn’t hesitate to use them and request Peter again.

1 week is not enough
1 week is not enough for such an amazing experience. Our guide / driver Mr. Ken is the cool person making this experience more delightfull. All booked Hotels i.e Zebra Plains , Nakuru Sopa and Praro Ambosili were quite nice for the stay , food was great and the staff was truly helpfull and friendly. Few thing they did for me with true kindness and not just because it's their job. Really loved it.

Excellent Safari Experience with Beyond The Plains
We had a wonderful safari experience with Beyond The Plains Kenya Safaris. From the first day until our final airport drop-off, their service and customer care were excellent.
Our driver/guide Jimmy was outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very patient throughout the trip. He stopped at every animal sighting and never moved until we were fully satisfied and had taken our photos. He made the whole safari experience very comfortable and enjoyable for us.
The lodges arranged for us were also very good, clean, comfortable, and well selected. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the team was always helpful and responsive.
Overall, it was a memorable and smooth safari experience. Highly recommended for anyone planning a Kenya safari
