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!

Very responsible and polite company
It was a very nice safari tour. The company is made up of very responsible and polite people. It is a company that thinks about the guests every minute of the trip and tries to adapt every detail to the guests' taste. I felt very safe and in a native environment. Khadija was especially caring. The safari was also very interesting, we saw many animals. Our visit to the Hadzabe tribe on the last day was the cherry on top.

Perfect Communcation
Very friendly staff. We got affordable experience. Thanks a lot Xadija, very polite girl. With this company, one feels at home and safe. Materuni experience on the first day, Safari on the next 3 days and a trip to the Hadzabe and Datogo tribes on the last day made our trip amazing

Great Safari experience!
We as two female travellers had a wonderful experience with Tausi Trails. From the beginning with the planning of our trip, throughout the Safari and even after we had an amazing support from Catherine, who supported us in every possible way. Thank you so much for your outstanding support!
We really recommend booking with Tausi Trails, especially when taking a shared Safari. Our experience was, that we were able to stay with one driver-guide the whole Safari, when other travellers from other companies meeded to change the vehicles within the tour. This was a hige game changer for us. Also the food and the accommodation were good!
We don't have anything to complain. Thanks Catherine for the support and Athuman for the great tour!

Everything was perfect
Everything has been well organised. The pace was not too fast and we had time to enjoy. The food was also very good and the guides great. Very good value for money.

Highly responsive, incredibly professional, deeply knowledgeable
We booked our safari with Lion King at very short notice. Within a day, the Lion King team came back to us with a tailored itinerary based on our needs and timeline.
We were picked up at the airport in Kilimanjaro by Justin, who was very friendly and gave us our first introduction to Tanzania and our itinerary and took us to our first lodge.
The following day we were greeted by Haruni, who was our tour guide for the duration of our stay in Tanzania. Haruni is not only a great guide and tracker, he is also extremely professional and friendly. He understood that as we were on honeymoon we did not necessarily want to have a very demanding schedule, and he showed a lot of flexibility with our schedule and tardiness! We managed to see all Big Five and so much more.
Haruni also helped us deal with issues that came up during the trip (unrelated to Tanzania or Lion King), for example finding a hospital to have stitches removed that I had from an operation just prior to arriving in Tanzania.
I could not recommend Lion King more if you are looking for a professional, friendly, and locally knowledgeable operator!

Excellent tour operator
I had two amazing tours with Kentau (Tsavo and Amboseli). Dominic always responded quickly and did arrange everything well.
We (Modi and I) spotted a lot of wildlife in Tsavo and stopped at every animal that I wanted to see. That gave me the chance to make some great pictures and identify every animal I saw. Aruba lodge was wonderful surrounded by elephants and beautiful bird species!
After a lot of gamedrives I did not expect to see a lot of new species in Amboseli, but Freddie still managed to show me some new species like the Cheeta and Martial eagle! We took all the time to observe the animals. Sentrim was a bit more basic compared to Aruba lodge, however it was great!

Wonderful experience!
Our Tanzanian safari with samora explorers was an unforgettable experience! Reggie's knowledge and passion for Tanzania's wildlife and culture were evident (our guide). He was incredibly attentive to our needs and ensured we had the best possible experience.
The trip from Arusha to the coast was smooth, with every detail thoughtfully planned. I highly recommend Samora explorers to anyone looking for an extraordinary safari adventure!

Great personal and local experience
A truly outstanding experience!
This was an incredibly beautiful and authentic local experience. The porters were exceptionally friendly and worked unbelievably hard—truly nothing was too much to ask. They did everything with a smile and made sure we lacked nothing.
Choosing a private tour made the experience even more unique and personal. During the hike, we were treated to luxurious breaks with chairs and a small table, along with warm drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate—an unexpected luxury along the way.
The chef even came to speak with us personally to discuss our own customized menu, which made the service feel extra special. We had two highly capable guides, with one guide per person, ensuring maximum guidance, safety, and comfort.
The organization was also flawless: reliable and punctual transfers to and from the hotel, the airport, and the starting point of the hike. What stood out most was the strong group spirit—clearly a team that knows each other well, can rely on one another, and does their work with visible joy and pride.
Highly recommended and an experience we will cherish for a long time to come!

Skilled driver and wonderful safari
We had a very beautiful trip with axis safari. Well organized and even a pickup from a different location was possible without any problems. Our driver was very skilled and respected in the park.
