Excellent tailored safaris with highly knowledgeable guides
Couldn't recommend them more. Right from the start, they were waiting for us at the airport and took us to our hotel. The next day, they picked us up and introduced us to our guide, Harun, with whom we would be doing the safari.
Harun was always helpful, friendly, and answered all of our questions. One detail I truly appreciated about him was his respect for the animals; while we saw other vehicles rushing toward them, Harun always showed respect and patience. Because we weren't making noise or disturbing them, the animals actually walked right in front of us on their own. You can really tell he loves his job and is incredibly knowledgeable!
I highly recommend both Beyond the Birds for their overall service, and Harun as a guide!
An amazing and perfectly organized safari

Very well organised private safari itinerary
We asked for a personalised itinerary, and they organised everything perfectly for us. The entire trip was very well organised, with wonderful activities included and an incredible lodge booked for our stay. It was a private safari just for the two of us, which made the experience even more special. Our driver and guide was very kind and knowledgeable. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend them.

Amazing Experience from Start to Finish
I just returned from an amazing safari with Williamson Adventures, and it was truly a fantastic experience. A special thank you to our guide, Didas, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we had the best wildlife sightings. His passion and professionalism made the trip unforgettable.
I highly recommend Williamson Adventures and Didas to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

A well-organised and unforgettable safari
We did a 9-day tour with Savannah Sound Safaris as a group of 17 people, traveling in three separate jeeps with three amazing drivers (Samuel, Duncan, and Nick). They were not only excellent drivers and knowledgeable guides, but also felt like friends throughout the journey. They genuinely cared about our experience and did their absolute best to make each day amazing. They kept the group on schedule while allowing enough flexibility for us to enjoy each moment and take great photos. There was never a sense of being rushed.
Before the tour, I wanted to travel from Nairobi to Mombasa, and even though this was not part of the package, the tour operator kindly arranged my tickets in advance. We had a member in our group with mobility issues, and the team ensured that the jeep was accessible and comfortable for them, making the journey much easier.
Considering everything we experienced, the incredible wildlife, the accommodation, the comfort, and the flexibility to choose locations, the value for money was excellent.
Our driver, Samuel, was fantastic. Having done this for nearly 20 years, he had extensive knowledge about the animals, took the time to let us enjoy every moment, and was friendly, fun, and highly experienced. He was a very safe driver, which made us feel completely at ease.
I would definitely use this company again for a safari in Kenya and would love to travel with the same drivers and guides. They were reliable, went above and beyond, and gave us an unforgettable experience.

Really well prepared and interested in satisfying the client
I had a wonderful time and the tour guide gave a lot of information about the animals. Also he wanted us to see as much as we could so he made the effort to move all around for our own benefit. It’s a perfect company for enjoy and learn at the same time.

Wonderful Serengeti safari
We have just completed a wonderful fly-in, fly-out Serengeti safari with Shayona.
They were excellent from the very start. Helping to tailor-make the safari to meet our requirements (thanks, Ajay & Ritesh for all your great advice) including organising a great balloon trip for us. Thanks also to Karim, our driver in Arusha.
Our guide during the safari was Rievo and he made sure that we had an unforgettable experience, getting so close to the amazing animals and ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
We would definitely recommend Shayona

From the moment we first contacted Beyond the Plains, we knew we were in good hands. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, always quick to respond and happy to answer our questions. Booking a safari can feel overwhelming, but he made everything easy and stress-free.
Our safari itself was simply unforgettable. Moses was an exceptional guide—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed some truly incredible sightings. His enthusiasm and dedication added so much to the experience.
What impressed us most was how personal everything felt. We never felt like just another booking; the team genuinely cared that we had the best possible trip. The attention to detail, seamless organisation, and excellent communication throughout were outstanding.
We returned home with amazing photographs, wonderful memories, and a real appreciation for the people who made this journey so special.
