This was a truly amazing experience. Bonnie was our driver and guide and he was exceptionally knowledgable with all the wildlife we saw and Kenyan life. Highly recommended.

The most amazing safari experience
This was the first time me and my husband visited Kenya, and safari - and it did not disappoint. Beyond the Plains were the perfect guides, from the initial inquiry a few months ago, to arriving in Kenya, and the entire safari itself. The team were so accommodating, customised our itinerary, extremely flexible - and just everything we wanted and more. We loved the entire experience, from our accommodation, game drives and our guide. Thank you!

Very efficient, great service and competitive pricing
Beyond the plains was really good from start to finish. The help they provided with planning the trip to execution with some of their best guides, Ken and Kevin, we had a truly shading time and experience! The guides were also very knowledgeable and experienced.

Amazing Amboseli Safari
We had a fantastic time on our two night, three day safari to Amboseli National Park with Beyond the Plains. Everything happened as planned and without any issues. Thanks to our amazing driver and guide Ben, we saw some amazing animals and were even lucky enough to get to see Kilimanjaro. Overall a fantastic experience and one we would recommend to anyone. A special thanks to Linet also for always being very responsive over WhatsApp for any queries or questions we had at all times.

A Truly 5 Star Experience
We had a tremendous time exploring Kenya with Beyond the Plains. The booking was straightforward and the team were very accommodating to our needs.
All of the accommodation and food was to a great standard and we were very fortunate to get to see all of the Big 5, Big 9 and even the Ugly 5 across our days.
Big shout out to our guide/driver Ben who took us absolutely everywhere for 8 whole days and definitely made the trip for us. He was friendly, informative and all around a lovely person. We were the only two in our vehicle and it made for an awesome and relaxing couples trip.
I would highly recommend Beyond the Plains for your Kenya safari experience.

Without hesitation, I can highly recommend Beyond the Plains!
Our safari was phenomenal! A huge reason for this was the great guidance and suggestions we received from Sammy, at Beyond the Plains. I loved their insights and recommendations, as well as their flexibility and candid insights when I requested something different than what they recommended. Sammy is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Our guides in both Kenya and Tanzania were outstanding. They did everything humanly possible to help us spot and enjoy close ups at each and every encounter. I can heartily recommend Sammy and Beyond the Plains for your safari.

🌍 Family Trip to Tanzania & Kenya with Beyond The Plains
Our recent family trip from India to Tanzania and Kenya with our 6-year-old was truly unforgettable, thanks to Linet from Beyond The Plains, who took care of every single detail — from our accommodations, domestic flights, meals, drinking water, to private vehicles and knowledgeable guide-cum-drivers at every destination --- making our journey completely seamless.
We had requested specific meal preferences (only vegetables, eggs, chicken, and fish — no meat, pork and beef), and Linet ensured this was perfectly taken care of everywhere we stayed. The food was always fresh and well served.
We loved exploring both the Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) and Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) — each offered breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. In Tanzania, Serval Wildlife was a must visit with kids! In Kenya, we also enjoyed Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park.
A special mention to some amazing people who made this trip even more memorable:
Renga (Tanzania) – our friendly driver in Arusha who made our transfers comfortable and pleasant.
Issac at Serval Wildlife (Tanzania) – a wonderful host who made our stay truly special. He was extremely caring, ensured we covered the maximum possible experiences in a short time, and looked after our daughter throughout our stay — something we will always remember.
Aaron (Tanzania) – our guide and driver at Serengeti, who impressed us with his deep knowledge of wildlife. Every time we encountered an animal or bird, he shared fascinating insights. Thanks to him, we spotted more than 25+ species during our Serengeti safari!
Ben (Kenya) – a nice guide-cum-driver who accompanied us throughout our Kenya journey from Masai Mara to Amboseli, making sure everything went smoothly.
The only thing we missed was spotting a Rhino in the open wild. They have been moved to protected zones for safety, which would require another full day’s trip — something we weren't aware of and hence couldn’t fit into our packed itinerary. Hopefully, we’ll return in a few years when our daughter is a bit older to complete that circle of “Big Five” sightings!
Once again, heartfelt thanks to Linet and the Beyond The Plains team for organizing such a seamless and memorable family adventure and even helping us share our appreciation tips with our guides, as we couldn’t carry cash during travel.
It was a truly special experience that we’ll cherish forever! ❤️
Highly recommend Beyond The Plains for a seamless, family-friendly African safari! 🌍✨

Thoughtful, respectful, & knowledgeable. truly cares about you having an amazing safari experience.
First things first… Beyond the Plains is an AMAZING COMPANY AND TEAM! Beautiful people!
Went for our honeymoon trip. 12 nights between Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Zanzibar.
Dorah was absolutely incredible in helping us plan our trip. Such a thoughtful and sweet woman. She helped me find the best rates and value for our accommodations, and she did not miss one time! No matter how many times I wanted to change something or ask for more info she delivered in such a timely manner. Her communication before and during the trip to ensure everything went smoothly was amazing.
Moses was our guide through Kenya… he gets 11 out of 10 stars rating. His knowledge of the wildlife, where to find them, what were the best times to go on game drives to find wildlife was perfect. He was extremely nice, humble, personable, funny, and respectful. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He made us feel right at home. He ensured everything was planned out perfectly with the lodges we were staying at, ensuring our lunch was set up, our breakfast times were arranged, and itinerary was smooth with our extra planned activities. He kept track of the animals we had seen to ensure we saw all the big 5. He also noted what animals we were really wanted to see and made sure his efforts were focused on our experience and he definitely delivered.
If you want to be treated like family, receive good advice on what to do (not a company who just wants to take your money), and have experienced guides that know where to go. You found the right company.

Ken was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
From start to finish, our safari experience was absolutely outstanding. Communication with the team was smooth and responsive, and every detail was handled professionally. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and not just from a distance. Thankful to Ken's, our guide, deep knowledge and experience, we were able to get up close and personal with the animals in a way that felt safe, respectful, and unforgettable. Their insight into the wildlife and environment made the whole experience even more enriching.
The tour itself exceeded our expectations in every way. The itinerary was well-planned, the vehicles were comfortable and reliable, and we felt well taken care of throughout. For the quality of the experience, the value for money was exceptional.
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone planning a safari. You won't be disappointed!
