Well planned and accommodating
We had an amazing 5 day trip to Nakuru and Masai Mara, with the itinerary tailored to our preferences. As first timers to the safari experience, we relied heavily on our guide Peter’s expertise - he was very skillful in spotting animals and navigating around the park. We were able to spot many animals (especially the big 5!) throughout the game drives. He was also very accommodating to any schedule changes and requests we had. Really enjoyed this trip in Kenya!

Professional and adaptable
We had an unforgettable safari with Beyond the Plains thanks to our exceptional guide Peter. His wildlife spotting skills were very impressive (including birds), coupled with his ability to anticipate animal behaviour. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, safe, well cared for and had the best possible experience. Eg, positioning the jeep at the best angles for wildlife photography.
Beyond his expertise, his professionalism, safe driving and genuine dedication made our experience truly memorable. We would wholeheartedly recommend him and specifically request him again on our next safari :)

We couldn't have asked for a better team for our trip! The booking process was seamless thanks to Lilian, who was incredibly helpful in walking us through every step and answering all our questions promptly.
Once on safari, Peter was an outstanding guide—bringing so much joy, warmth, and humor while always keeping our safety and comfort as top priorities. We loved how flexible he was with our itinerary, letting us set our own pace. Peter’s expertise in the Masai Mara gave us incredible moments, especially watching a mother cheetah hunt a rabbit for her cubs. Thank you for creating memories we will cherish forever! If we return, we will definitely request Peter as our guide again! 😄

Experienced and adaptable
Our tour to Nakuru and Masai Mara was well organised and since our main focus was the safari, we were able to request to have longer game drives. Our guide Peter had amazing skills to spot animals from a long distance and we managed to see the big 5 by the third game drive, and saw multiple sightings of rare animals like rhinos, cheetahs and leopards. We also saw more than 10 sightings of lions. Even when we requested for special animals like secretary birds and cheetah cubs, our guide managed to deliver. We truly enjoyed the hospitality of Kenya and the staff here.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure!
An Unforgettable Safari Adventure!
My husband and I recently booked a private tour with Beyond the Plains Safari, and it was an absolute dream from start to finish. Our itinerary was custom-tailored precisely to our wishes, taking us across an incredible route: Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru National Park, Maasai Mara National Park, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.
Every single detail was exceptionally well-organized. The accommodation and food across all locations were very good, with special standouts being the gorgeous Maisha Sweetwaters Camp outside Ol Pejeta and the wonderful Ziwa Bush Lodge in Lake Nakuru.
Our guide Bethwell was simply fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to teach us so much about the wildlife, plants, parks, and diverse landscapes. He provided us with a helpful briefing every single evening for the following day, meaning we didn't have to worry or think about a thing.
Furthermore, communication with the office team was impeccable from the very beginning. They were always reachable and even checked in on us regularly throughout our trip to ensure everything was going smoothly.
We can definitely recommend Beyond the Plains Safari without hesitation. It was the absolute perfect choice for our vacation!

Amazing Masai Mara trio with Phineas (Mwenda)
I spent 3 days with Phineas (Mwenda) touring the Masai Mara and it was truly an amazing experience.
Having visited other national parks before, I expected the experience to be similar to my previous trips.
Mwenda made this one very special. He went above and beyond to make sure we see all the wonders of the park, he was very generous with his knowledge and extremely friendly throughout. He is also a very good problem solver, quickly adjusting the the weather and road conditions throughout our trip. I cannot recommend him enough!

An excellent team all the way, supporting us from planning the trip, airport transfers, and visa requirement details to hotel bookings and, most importantly, the game drives.
Maurine from the team was very helpful, highly responsive, and caring throughout our communication.
And our guide, Patrick, was very supportive and went extra mile to make our safari trip memorable.I definitely would recommend this team to all safari and animal lovers.

Great guide, seamless travel, regular communication - highly recommend!
We had an amazing time on our first ever safari!
The service throughout was excellent, including good communication during booking and in the lead up to our arrival. Beyond the Plains arranged collection from the airport hotel, internal flights, a hot air balloon safari, and accommodation for us and it all went brilliantly.
We spent 4 days in the Masai Mara, staying at Mara Maisha Camp, where our lodge was very spacious and well equipped, and nothing was too much for the attentive staff.
The safari itself was unforgettable, with a huge thank you to our guide, Ken. Ken was really knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour, and made sure we got to see everything we wanted to and more. He definitely went the extra mile.
This was our first safari and we’ll be sure to use Beyond the Plains again next time!

Unforgettable Kenya Trip!
We had a fantastic experience throughout our 9-day trip to Kenya, covering Nairobi, Masai Mara, and Naivasha. Everything was smoothly managed from the planning stage through to the trip itself.
A special shout-out to our guide, Duncan, who was extremely knowledgeable and attentive throughout the journey. He took the time to understand what we were interested in and always made an effort to find the wildlife sightings and experiences that suited us best.
The team was also very prompt and accommodating while we were planning the trip, taking the time to understand our preferences and tailor the itinerary accordingly. A big thank you to Maurine for helping us plan and coordinate the entire agenda!
Overall, a very well-organized and memorable Kenya experience. Highly recommended!
