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!!!

Excellent 5 day calving season safari
Nkollo Safari delivered an absolutely unforgettable five-day experience in Tanzania that deserves every one of its five stars. From start to finish, everything ran seamlessly and far exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Richard, was outstanding – incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely passionate about wildlife, and always eager to share insights about the ecosystems and animals we encountered. Thanks to his sharp eyes and expertise, we were able to see the Big Five and witness incredible real-life action from lions and leopards that we will be talking about for years.
The itinerary was well designed, covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Ndutu, each showcasing a different side of Tanzania’s stunning landscapes and wildlife. Every day felt unique, from elephant herds and baobab trees to vast plains full of game and dramatic crater views.
Accommodations along the way were thoughtfully chosen, comfortable and well located, allowing us to relax fully between game drives. We also had the chance to get a glimpse into the life of the Maasai people, which added a meaningful cultural dimension to the trip and helped us appreciate Tanzania beyond just its wildlife.
Overall, this safari was truly above expectations and one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. We highly recommend Nkollo Safari – and especially Richard – to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized and unforgettable Tanzanian safari.

Unforgettable Safari Experience — Saw the Big Five!
I had an amazing experience with Serengeti Luxury Safari! Our driver, Nestory, was fantastic at spotting animals and made every game drive exciting and memorable — thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all of the Big Five during our safari.
The lodges they booked were beautiful, with hot meals at every dining and comfortable accommodations throughout the trip. Coming back to a hot shower and great food after each safari drive was the perfect ending to every day. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Experience! Amazing wildlife and excellent drivers
We recently returned from a safari in Kenya and I cannot recommend it enough.
The game drives were incredible—we saw so much more than we expected. The landscape is breathtaking, but what really made the trip special was the service.
A special shout-out to our drivers. They were incredibly attentive, safe, and knowledgeable. They had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife that we would have missed on our own and were always patient, ensuring we had the best angles for photos and plenty of time to enjoy the moment.

Steve & driver Solomon masterfully planned & executing extraordinary/affordable safaris‼️
To the incredible team at Steven & Richard Safaris,
I am writing to express our profound gratitude for orchestrating what can only be described as the journey of a lifetime. Our initial contact with Steven & Richard Safaris began last June, after discovering your outstanding reputation on Tripadvisor. From that moment, the WhatsApp conversations with Steve commenced, meticulously building our itinerary for a late January start.
The planning phase itself was a testament to Steve's exceptional dedication and expertise. Coordinating three travelers arriving from diverse international locations and departing at different times presented a complex logistical puzzle. Yet, Steve navigated every request and desire with remarkable agility, ensuring every detail was perfectly aligned. Despite the significant time difference between Seattle and Mombasa, Steve graciously accommodated numerous late-night calls, tirelessly addressing our questions and fine-tuning our preferences. His commitment laid the groundwork for an absolutely seamless experience.
Upon arrival, every aspect of our safari exceeded our wildest expectations. The anticipation of encountering Africa's iconic wildlife was immense, but the reality was far more breathtaking. We were thrilled not only to witness the majestic Big Five but also an incredible array of other species, including several magnificent felines like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and even the elusive civet cat, a true rarity! Each sighting was a profound moment of connection with nature.
One of the most unforgettable moments occurred on our final safari, where we were privileged to observe a family of four white rhinos – a formidable papa, a gentle mama, a tiny, months-old baby, and a curious juvenile. We were positioned so intimately close to them that our zoom lenses were rendered unnecessary, allowing for an incredibly personal and humbling encounter. This experience was made even more astounding by the fact that just the night before, we had a similarly close and powerful encounter with a pair of black rhinos right next to our vehicle. These moments of being so profoundly immersed in their world will forever be etched in our minds.
Our driver and guide, Solomon, was nothing short of extraordinary. His unwavering passion, encyclopedic knowledge, and relentless dedication to ensuring we experienced the very best of the wilderness shone through every single day. Solomon worked tirelessly, tracking subtle signs, interpreting animal behaviors, and masterfully maneuvering our vehicle to grant us unparalleled photographic opportunities and breathtaking views of the vast array of wildlife. He truly possessed a sixth sense for locating the animals, transforming each drive into a magical adventure. There were countless times we found ourselves pinching ourselves, utterly mesmerized, convinced we were dreaming, such was the closeness and intimacy of our encounters. He didn't just drive us; he guided us into the very heart of the wild.
The memories forged on this incredible journey will undeniably stay with us for a lifetime. We are eternally grateful to Steve for his meticulous orchestration of our dream itinerary and to Solomon for his exceptional skill and passion in "making it all happen" so magnificently. Thank you, from the deepest corners of our hearts, for an unparalleled adventure.
