Exceptional Safari Experience with Beyond The Plains
We had an incredible safari through Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, and Naivasha. One of the main reasons we chose Beyond The Plains was the very fast communication from Julius during the planning process.
Our guide Bonnie was fantastic. He was very patient and had a great eye for spotting animals. Thanks to his skills, we managed to see all of the Big 5 during our trip.
While the cost is a little higher than some other operators, you definitely get a more premium service in return. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a high quality experience in Kenya.

Successfull first time safari experience
This was our first experience. The company made each transition seamless and everything was taken care of. We had drivers Kennedy and Ian. Both very knowledgable, and fun to spend the day with. Would recommend them! The accommodations were not consistent in terms of quality, but we did end up enjoying each place. Overall, great experience.

Highly recommended!
We went on a 13 day safari organised by Beyond the Plains and we have to say that everything was excellent starting with the initial communication. Replies were always prompt and precise and we were able to tailor the safari according to our preferences.
John, our guide, was great and did everything possible to make sure we had the best possible experience.
Communicating, with Andrew, was easy and very reliable - we always felt that somebody was looking after us to make sure it all worked out as planned.
We wanted to make the most of our trip and were fortunate enough to see quite a lot of Kenya and a great variety of parks. What a beautiful country and great experience for all of us, thank you!

Trust them wit your trip and you will not regret it.
Beyond the plains was the best decision I made to plan my Kenya trip. It was my first time and had no idea about how to plan the itinerary. Lilian helped me pick the right destinations and have a good balance in doing safaris in parks, to game drives in conservancies, and finally to relax in diani beach. It was the best trip for our 10th anniversary and thanks for beyond for making it really memorable and easy. We got the best guide Anthony, words can’t do justice to how amazing this 40 year experienced guide was! It was an amazing experience. They work around your budgets, they are available on chat every day, making sure you have the most hassle free trip! Trust them and just enjoy the beautiful country Kenya!

Excellent experience
Amazing experience. 1st of all, the guide, Kennedy. 5 stars out off 5.
He somehow managed to show us all the animals possible on safari, including a lioness with three cubs, leopards, small and large elephants, crocodiles, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, zebras, etc. But beyond his qualities as a guide, Kennedy was an extremely pleasant interlucutor on topics such as local customs, domestic and international politics, and geography.
At the same time, the accommodation and transportation provided by the organizers were impeccable, and the food was delicious. I don't usually make recommendations (and I don't benefit from these lines), but I really recommend this experience.

Well-organized safari with a fantastic guide
We had a really great time, with one night at Lake Nakuru and two nights in the Masai Mara. Our guide, Ken, was excellent and shared many interesting stories and insights about the sights and the country in general. Would definitely recommend.

A memorable safari with a guide who listened and adapted to our family preferences.
Our Maasai Mara safari with Beyond The Plains Kenya Safaris was a really enjoyable and memorable experience for our family. From early on, our guide Boniface took time to understand what we were hoping to see and was responsive to our feedback throughout the trip. When we expressed a preference for quieter game drives and maximising wildlife sightings, he made a genuine effort to adapt the plan, while also ensuring we didn't miss out on some rare sightings, which made a noticeable difference to our overall experience.
Boniface's guiding was knowledgeable and patient, with thoughtful explanations about animal behaviour and the Mara itself, and we felt that real care was taken to help us see as much wildlife as possible. Overall, we felt it was a well-run safari with a personal touch, and one we would happily recommend to others looking for a thoughtful and responsive safari experience in the Maasai Mara.

Responsive and competitive
We had an amazing trip with Beyond the Plain Safaris! The drive to and from Nairobi was smooth, and our stay at the Mara was absolutely fantastic. Although we didn’t spot all of the Big Five, we were thrilled to see three of them!
The serene, breathtaking Savannah terrain made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful adventure, I just wish we had seen more game.

Individual attention to detail and availability
We had the most amazing experience with the team of Beyond the Plains. Linet was there to prepare and propose a unique travel plan for our family and she was of great advice for the choice of our destinations, accommodation and activities. Not only she was there to prepare the plan, but she was available all the time during our trip and she even did her best to accommodate changes during the trip! Our guide, Rooney, was our kids’ genie in a bottle - they want to see a cheetah - here they are, a rhino - do not ask more… he even found a leopard up in the trees for them!
