Papa Jones is Best driver, lots of knowledge, provides the best views
It was a real pleasure to participate in the safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The atmosphere was fantastic and there were plenty of attractions at every turn. It was perfectly planned, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We started to regret not going to Amboselli. We'll definitely do it again next time with Jocky Tours and Papa Jones.

Serengeti essence safaris organised my visit to Tarangire, serengeti and ngorongoro crater. The whole trip was smooth, well planned and exceeded my expectations by far.
A special thanks to the driver Godfrey - he was knowledgeable, professional and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. The lodges and camps were clean, comfortable and offered great service and meals.
My whole trip was made unforgettable, thanks to Serengeti Essence Dafaris and Godfrey for making that possible

Mount Meru - incredible experience
We had booked a guided private tour with MIMA Adventures to climb Mt. Meru. From the beginning to the end, the tour was perfectly planned and executed. We (my son 14 years and I) were picked up at the hotel in time, had the change to purchase food and influence the menu for the following days. The first part was fairly easy with a night at the Miriakamba Hut and a wonderful sunset and sunrise the next morning. Day two ended with an expedition to the Little Meru (3820 m). The third day started with getting up at midnight, breakfast and starting the final climb along the crater rim, finally arriving at the top around 8:00 am. After only a few minutes at the top (4566 m), we started the decent all the way to the bottom, bringing us back to the hotel late at night. Very intense and wonderful experience with MIMA having organized the whole trip in perfection. Great thanks to Fred and his team for an unparalleled experience.

Exceptional Uganda Journey Filled with Warm Hospitality, Adventure, Care, and Complete Safety
Exploring Uganda was an unforgettable journey, and I owe it all to WILD UGANDA, my incredible travel agent! From the very first conversation till the last day of my trip, everything was perfectly handled with genuine care and attention.
Every moment felt seamless — from the scenic drives through lush landscapes to thrilling adventures around Murchison Falls and serene lake views. What truly stood out was their exceptional hospitality, the way they made me feel completely safe and cared for, even in the most remote corners of Uganda.
Their team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of — from timely transfers to comfortable stays and well-planned excursions that balanced adventure with comfort. I could truly relax and enjoy knowing I was in the best hands.
If you’re looking to experience Uganda with a mix of warm hospitality, adventure, and absolute peace of mind, I couldn’t recommend them enough. They turned my trip into a memory for a lifetime! 🌿✨

Excellent, informative personalized service.
I traveled to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls and Botswana to see elephants. It was an extraordinary trip. I was sprayed by water at Victoria Falls, a feeling and a sight I'll never forget. In Botswana I went to two safari camps. I was able to see all the animals I had dreamed of seeing, including elephants - up close and personal. The best part was sitting around the campfires at night, watching the sun go down and the stars come out.

Unforgettable Family Safari in Tanzania!
We’re a family with two young boys (6, and 8) and we booked the 8-Day Comfort Honeymoon Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater + 3 days in Zanzibar). The whole experience was absolutely amazing!
Our guide, Adrian, was fantastic — very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He made sure we saw as many animals as possible and always took great care of our safety and comfort, even preparing our lunches every day. The safari was full of incredible wildlife moments, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
After the safari, we spent three relaxing days in Zanzibar — the perfect way to end the trip. What impressed us most is that the whole adventure was organized less than a week before our departure, yet African Bovine Adventure planned every detail perfectly.
An awesome experience we’ll never forget — highly recommended!

Incredible & memorable experience thanks to Big Apes Africa!
I have (sadly) returned home after the most amazing 5 day tour of Uganda with brilliant guide Ben from Big Apes Africa.
I truly can’t fault them. A professional company, maintaining great communication during the planning stage and who patiently accommodated all my requests and changes. Bella and Peter were great to deal with, always prompt in their responses.
When in Uganda, my guide Ben did everything in his power to ensure my Ugandan experience was beyond anything I could imagine - up close and personal with the gorillas and chimps, tree climbing lions, elephants, zebras, water buffalo, hippos, lions, warthogs and a million bird species - you name it, I saw it!
Ben was always punctual, so informative and knowledgeable about the bird and animal life and he personalised the sites and info to my interests. I also learnt so much about Uganda and the wonderful people and he was so patient with me wanting to stop for numerous stunning scenery photos!
The boat ride was really amazing for the abundance of wildlife but Queen Elizabeth NP was also a highlight. The accommodation was great, particularly at Lake Bunyonyi which was so special and a wonderful relaxing start to the week, along with Enshama Game Lodge where meeting ‘John’, the visiting wild elephant was a highlight!
Ben was great - always courteous, friendly and was excellent company on the long drives, so accomodating and always patient in answering my many questions!.
I am beyond grateful to BAA and especially Ben, for ensuring that I had the most memorable and incredible experience that surpassed all expectations. Thank you 🙏🏼 ☺️

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.
