All round great trip
We had a fantastic 4-day safari thanks to our guide, Ken. He was incredibly knowledgeable, always on time, and so much fun to be around. He even managed to keep my impatient boyfriend entertained the whole trip! Ken’s passion and professionalism made this safari truly unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Great overall experience
The company was very responsive prior to our trip and answered any questions we had. Once we started the safari Leroy was very knowledgeable. He was very accommodating and tailored the schedule to what the group wanted to do. We really wanted to see a cheetah and leopard. He was on the radio and speaking to other guides to track sightings. He did a great job not giving up and we were able to find them and get up close. Overall really great experience!

Great experience!
From the outset of my planning, communication with Linet was second to none, fast responses and more than willing to adapt the itinerary and answer any questions.
We were collected from our hotel on time, provided with hats and water bottles which was a great touch.
We had Dennis as our driver who did his utmost to ensure we saw the big 5!
All additional activities were well planned, so smooth in terms of timing after long drives and we were upgraded in 2 places which was a nice bonus!!
Despite receiving numerous itineraries from various companies, we decided to go with beyond the plains due to the excellent communication, and the number of different activities included.
I would highly recommend this company and would definitely use again for a future safari. Thanks again Beyond the plains for an incredible trip!!!

Amazing from start to finish
Every part of the safari experience was well-organized. The guide (James) was friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of at every part. All accommodations and food were great, and his knowledge of the parks and animals was super helpful.

King of guides!
If Ronny is your guide you hit the jackpot! He is amazing in every way! From the beginning to the end of the trip he made sure everything was taken care of. During our safari he had a wealth of knowledge about the animals and would also joke along with us. However, he also let us relax and just take in the wonderful environment around us without being pressured to conversate. The most amazing thing was his dedication to having us see the big five. Not only did we see all of them, but we got to see the rare rhino and a leopard TWICE!! I was so close I could have reached out and pet him. During the trip my friends and I were discussing cheetahs and how cool but obviously impossible it would be to spot on. I believe he overheard us and decided to make our dreams a reality. We were not only able to see a cheetah but her babies too! It was truly breathtaking.
The accommodations for this safari were also very good and they were always quick to help if we needed anything. Everyone was super friendly and hospitable and I couldn’t have had a better time. I truly believe we got lucky with our amazing guide. If you have a chance to go, make sure you request Ronny! He is incredible !

Andrew and Ronnie ensured our entire experience was perfect from start to end!
Can't say enough great things about our experience with Beyond the Plains safari. Andrew was our first contact and ensured that we were properly set up for the trip and took care of all the details. Never once had a lapse in communication or anything. Our guide and friend for the actual tour was Ronnie. We had low expectations not of our guide but of what we'd see considering we're coming in the off season. Ronnie was prompt to pick us up every day. He made sure that we had plenty of rest stop breaks throughout the days we were with him. He took care of all admission tickets. He absolutely hustled to make sure that not only did we see the big 5 but also lions feeding, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs (with Cubs) . Things that are rare to see in Masai Mara. But if he heard there was any great thing we could see, even if he was tired, he made it happen. He went above and beyond by so much it's hard to fully express it in a review. Without him, the trip wouldn't have been complete. He was attentive, friendly, and genuine. I hope everyone is lucky enough to have a safari guide like him. All in all, such an amazing trip and company to work with. Hands down best back for your buck.

Beyond the Plains Safari team from John to Dennis and everyone in between were amazing.
My Kenya safari experience with Beyond the Plains Safari through Rough Guides was amazing. The experience from the first Park to the best Safari Park helped build up the momentum and expectations. From the beginning when I reached out to them until I returned back home John was there to help, respond and accommodate our needs/requirements. He helped us build the best itinerary based on how we wanted to pace it and what we wanted to do, selecting the right hotels and stops along the way. Our driver and guide Dennis was amazing! His expertise in driving in the most difficult of conditions and his brazen chase of the animals got us to see the most number of animals every single day. Every day we saw many of the big five as well as a number of other animals enhancing our experience. His knowledge of the animals and the area was fantastic, he helped me with comfort stops as many times and places as requested. The weather was hot and dusty but the safari experience by far made us forget our surroundings. The hotels - though non-airconditioned - were amazing as well from the ambience, to the room comfort to the fantastic food. The service and staff of each and every hotel were exceptional. Most hotels also give you the animal experience enhancing the safari. And ofcourse the shopping was great too! Just one tip if you have a day or even half a day in Nairobi then look for the Masai Market which is help each day of the week in a different shopping mall parking lot and you will get most things much cheaper there compared to the souvenir shops along the way.
Big shout out to the team of Beyond the Plains Safari Kenya team!

Perfect with a very qualified guide Nicole
We had a beautiful safari with a very good female guide Nicole. Good communication with the organisation. The tour was beautiful but for a next time we would built in a little bit more time to relax between the safari’s.

Ronnie was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable. He worked tirelessly so we could see everything
Our 4 day safari experience was incredible and it all possible because of our guide Ronnie. He was a do-it-all guide- who was personable, respectful, knowledgeable, etc. He took us to both Lake Navsha & Nakuru and then the Mara. He knew the Masai area extremely well and absolutely hustled so we'd have a chance to see every big spotting. We are happy to say we saw every animal (multiple times) including the big 5 and others. He was the best, our trip was worth it, & I would recommend this company/guide any day.
