🌍 Family Trip to Tanzania & Kenya with Beyond The Plains
Our recent family trip from India to Tanzania and Kenya with our 6-year-old was truly unforgettable, thanks to Linet from Beyond The Plains, who took care of every single detail — from our accommodations, domestic flights, meals, drinking water, to private vehicles and knowledgeable guide-cum-drivers at every destination --- making our journey completely seamless.
We had requested specific meal preferences (only vegetables, eggs, chicken, and fish — no meat, pork and beef), and Linet ensured this was perfectly taken care of everywhere we stayed. The food was always fresh and well served.
We loved exploring both the Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) and Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) — each offered breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. In Tanzania, Serval Wildlife was a must visit with kids! In Kenya, we also enjoyed Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park.
A special mention to some amazing people who made this trip even more memorable:
Renga (Tanzania) – our friendly driver in Arusha who made our transfers comfortable and pleasant.
Issac at Serval Wildlife (Tanzania) – a wonderful host who made our stay truly special. He was extremely caring, ensured we covered the maximum possible experiences in a short time, and looked after our daughter throughout our stay — something we will always remember.
Aaron (Tanzania) – our guide and driver at Serengeti, who impressed us with his deep knowledge of wildlife. Every time we encountered an animal or bird, he shared fascinating insights. Thanks to him, we spotted more than 25+ species during our Serengeti safari!
Ben (Kenya) – a nice guide-cum-driver who accompanied us throughout our Kenya journey from Masai Mara to Amboseli, making sure everything went smoothly.
The only thing we missed was spotting a Rhino in the open wild. They have been moved to protected zones for safety, which would require another full day’s trip — something we weren't aware of and hence couldn’t fit into our packed itinerary. Hopefully, we’ll return in a few years when our daughter is a bit older to complete that circle of “Big Five” sightings!
Once again, heartfelt thanks to Linet and the Beyond The Plains team for organizing such a seamless and memorable family adventure and even helping us share our appreciation tips with our guides, as we couldn’t carry cash during travel.
It was a truly special experience that we’ll cherish forever! ❤️
Highly recommend Beyond The Plains for a seamless, family-friendly African safari! 🌍✨

Awesome Support On Our Kilimanjaro Climbing Trip
Climbing Kilimanjaro was an incredible, life-changing, and rewarding adventure. Our hosts at Zara Tanzania Adventures handled everything, removing any stressful, unsafe, or emotionally draining moments from our trip. The crew was excellent, from the guides and porters to our cook, Stephen. They were all stand-up gentlemen who took our safety, comfort, and successful summit attempt seriously. They played a huge part in our successful summit. I also appreciate the excellent equipment provided, sufficient food and supplies, and we were blessed with good weather. We are happy to have chosen Zara because they are the best!

Outstanding Service from start to finish
It was incredible. We were picked up and delivered safely back to our digs in Zanzibar after the trip with all the work done for us. The safari was amazing, our driver and guide, Efraem was superb and clearly passionate about the animals and thier welfare. He drove us safely and knew exactly where to drive us to find all the animals. Our trip organiser, Elvis was great. He did all the hard work for us and organised the perfect trip. The accommodation and food was all included and was exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone. Well done guys!

Highly recommended for a wonderful once in a life time experience - exceeded my expectations
Professional and prompt service from the sales manager Mike. Always helpful with every question and detail
Our guide Johnson gave us the trip I always dreamed about. Very personable. Professional and courteous. He treated us like queens everyday and I especially enjoyed the fresh gourmet coffee.
He ensured we got to see the “Big 5” and got us up close to several Lions and Elephants. Truly a trip of a lifetime
